MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 17.
The course of the trade during the week calls for no particular
observation. Supplies from all quarters are moderate, and the de-
mand for each article has been on a mere retail scale at prices o
our last. This day's market presents no variation from the
monotony which has prevailed during the week. Oatmeal is 3d to
6d per load lower, and it may be remarked of all articles that the
sale is very slow ; and, although we do not vary the prices of our
last, except in the particular above noted, former quotations arc
barely supported, and, in partial instances, a small decline is sub-
mitted to.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, DECEMBER 19.
This has been the large Christmas market, Beasts, both as to
quantity and quality, weie good, but only a few of a very superior
kind, or, what butchers term Christmas Beasts, and those sold
readily at 6id to 7d per lb., good fair beef, s,aid to 6d, middling, sd,
inferior, 4id. The supply of Sheep was small, and those of prime
quality made 6d to 6id ; Ewes, 5d to 51d, sinking the offal. Beasts,
1650; Sheep, 4335.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Dec. 19.
We have to notice a reaction in our Butter market; prices of all
descriptions may be noted 2s. per cwt. higher, and in addition to a
fair consumptive demand, there is an evident disposition to specu-
late. Fine crane inspected Belfast, 84s. to 85s. ; Kilkenny, 84s. to
86s. ; Newby Banbridge, &c., 745. to 785.; Ballymoney, Derry, &e.,
765. to 80s. per cwt. Pickled is also in better request at 735. for
respectable seconds. There appears a little more confidence among
holders of Beef, particularly of prime quality, and such cannot be
now bought unr,er g2s. 6d. to gas. per tierce. Pork continues as
before noted. Bacon is more sought after, and 425. is obtained for
good Belfast. In foreign provisions there is no animation, holders
disposed to take lower rates, 235. to 30s. per barrel, about the price
in bond.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 16.
Our market to-day has been unusually quiet, with a very
thin attendance of buyers. The extent of business is esti-
mated at only 3,000 bales.

The sales Of the week amount to 22,270 bales. Speculators
have taken 1750 and exporters 400 bales.
As regards prices, we close without much change, except
in the better description of new Boweds, which may be
quoted *d. to id. lower than this day week.

COTTON ARKET.—WEEKLY
There has been rather a better demand fromREPORT. the trade this week
but very little has been done on speculations. The recently-landet
American Cotton continues to be freely offered, and is again *t
lower ; Brazil and Surat continues in moderate demand, with little
change in prices. Speculators have taken 1500 American and 25C
Surat, and Exporters 100 American and 150 Surat.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, DEC 10
. .

The demand continues so extremely limited th'no transactions
worthy of notice have occurred in any description of B. P. ; but in
Bengal the sales amount to 1300 bags, chiefly damaged, at rather
lower prices. Foreign.—Considerable transactions have taken
place, in some instances at rather lower prices ; the sales are 580
cases of Brazil, at from 15s to 17s for low to good brown, and lgs
to 22s 6d for low to good white Pernambuco, and 18s to 215 for
middling brown and white Bahia, 120 boxes good yellow, but soft
Havana have been also sold, for export, at 20s gd to 21 per cwt.
Molasses.—The only sale reported is a parcel of 200 puns.
Demerara, at 28s per cwt. in store. Coffee.—The transaction in
Plantation, have been extensive, and amount to 310 casks of
Jamaica; a few lots of fine middling quality, being exceedingly
scarce, brought 4s to 5s advance; the other description consisted
chiefly of uneven ordinary sorts, which sold irregularly, in some
instances at a decline of 2s to 3s per cwt. 40 bags Ceylon brought
65s to 70s for fair to very good ordinary. Of Foreign, 173 bags La
Guayra sold at 37s to 40S for good ordinary, and 25 bales Mocha,
price not reported. Nothing done in Cocoa or Ginger ; but 600
bags black Pepper were sold at aid, and 150 bags Pimento at 2id
per lb. No sales reported in Rice. Rum.—The demand is limited,
the business being confined to small parcels of strong Demerara, at
rather easier rates.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER 16.
We are still unable to notice any variation in the rates
of duty on foreign produce, and there is no probability of any
important change for some time hence.
The general receipts of British Corn and Flour continue
upon a very moderate scale ; even the supply of Oatmeal has
fallen off materially this week, and we have no fresh arrivals
either from the continent of Europe or American States :
those from Canada contain merely 1852 barrels Flour ; and
a few thousand barrels more, with some parcels of Wheat,
is all that may be expected thence up to the close of their
shipping season.
Between Tuesday last and to-day the trade has in all re-
spects preserved the same monotonous character remarked
upon in our last, the value of all articles appearing for the
time little more than nominal.

Divested of sufficient confidence in the markets to create
any lively feelings, and our Corn Exchange this morning
being literally deserted by any extensive buyers either
local or distant, the few millers and dealers in attend-
ance were so extremely inactive as to render effective
sales in any branch of the trade wholly impracticable; hold-
ers, nevertheless, continued to require the rates generally
noted on Tuesday, yet every article appeared to be rather
depressed in value, and, in partial instances, a small abate-
ment was conceded.
