BRISTOL-DEC. 31.

The offices closed for the Christmas holidays on the 24th
inst., and will reopen on the 6th of January next. At the
close afew sales of Demerara crystals were made at 53s to
54s per cwt. leaving some few parcels still unsold, which
is the only West India in first hands in the port. During
the past year this market has been but indifferently sup-
plied, and other ports have been drawn upon largely by
both grocers and refiners iu the absence of sufficient direct
imports. There is a firm and healthy feeling in the market
for refined and manufactured goods, and prices are well
maintained.
