rig. 3d.
Messrs. Alex. Collie and Co., of Manchester,
under date 24th Dec., state that the tone of this
market has continued almost unchanged since last
Tuesday ; and although transactions have not been
individually extensive they appear to have been
numerous, as the desire of manufacturers to effect
sales does not amount to any important concession
in prices, which are only nominally lower. There
is but little addition being made to stocks ; the
luills generally are running full time, and by latest
telegrams from the East covering rates seem to be
fairly maintained.

With regard to the tea trade, Messrs. William,
'lames, and Henry Thomson report that business
during the past week has been extremely dull and
quiet, and many of the dealers have closed their
transactions for the year. By official returns the
duty payments last month, at the outports, were
very large, making the total deliveries for the United
Kingdom reach up,to,that date to 135,000,0001b5.
The public sale, held on the 17th inst., was extremely
Btnall, as advised in our last, and consisted only of
2,753 packages; prices generally remained unaltered.

latest telegrams date from Hongkong to the 25th
