CITY FISH MARKET.
To-day there was a good market. Fish of all descriptions was plen-
tiful, and trade brisk, owing to the weather. Prices rather lower than
yesterday. Turbot, 4s. to :10s. for the best ; Soles, 6d. to 9.5. per pair ;
Lobsters, 6d. to 2s . each : Cod, Is. and Is. 63. to is. 6d., and Bs. for
large, and other kinds in proportion.
HUN GERFO RD MARKET.
Fish, flesh, fowl, and vegetables, were to-day in great supply at this
market, and there was a brisk trade, owing to the weather being colder ;
prices much as before. Turbot ss. to 18s. and 195.; Soles 6d. to Is 6d.
per pair; Lobsters 9d. to Is. 6d. ; Cod Is. 6d. to ss. 6s. and Is. ; Beef
7d. to 9d ; Mutton 7d to 83. ; Veal 7d. to 9d. ; Pork (lid to Bd. ; Ve-
getables rather looking up in price than otherwise.
DYE MARKET.
Generally this department of business is dull, as far as public articles
are concerned. Large sales of Indigo are earning on, and of course,
nothing is doing in that commodity. Cochineal might be quoted lid.
per lb. higher.

TALLOW MARKET.
The lait price we heard of P.Y.C. was 455. 9d. and 465.
COLONIAL MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)
No public sales whatever for to-day of Colonial produce. The
market generally is flat for the primary commodities ; and although
quotations of Sugar and Coffee cannot be altered from yesterday, yet to
sell, lower prices must be taken. Arrivals, rather large fur the time
of the sear, affect the market. Tea con' inues to progress at the public
sale, but presents no novelty from our report of yesterday ; indeed,
the character of the sale may be regarded now as decided. Rum
continues very firm; and indeed stands, and has stood, distinguished
for some time for its steady rise and great stability. Cotton is very
slack Spices—Pepper and Pimento are the chief kinds in request; and
look as if they would be higher. Rice and Cocoa remain stationary.
Fine Crushed Sugar fetches 395. on board; and the last quotation of
Dutch crushed was 355. We have not much business advertised for
to-morrow ; the chief commodities are Bengal Sugar and Ricc, the
quantities of which are rather heavy.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 3.

The want of animation noticed in our Report of yesterday's Cotton
Market was not in the least diminished this day, and consequently there
were only a few sales effected. No further reduction in the rates has
occurred, and about 2,000 bags form the total of the transactions :-50
Ceara, at 91d. ; 60 Bahia, at 81d. to Sid. ; 100 Maranharn, at 9id• to
91d.; 1,790 American, at 711 to Old.

JOHN BARLEYCORN IN A DECLINE.—Tec-tota-
him is becoming so prevalent that the consumption of malt is
diminished to an extent that already touches the markets, and
which, if further practised, will seriously affect the price of
barley. Some ill-natured people say that this will " serve the
farmers only right ;" it being notorious that no other class of
society have such mean ale as the farmers ; and such is their
want of consistency, scarcely a farmer will be satisfied with
the best of ale, as a token of hospitality, but will consider it
an affront not to have wino and spirits offered, when common
sense ought to tell them that the patrons of wine and spirits
are not their friends, but the reverse.—Lincoln Gazette.
