New York Money Market.
Wednesday, January 2l--6 P. M.


The stock market appears to be in very de-
pressed state. Long Island fell off to-day Der
cent; Canton j; Norwich and Worcester i1;-
Morris Canal !; Harlem Railroad l. Reading.
and Illinois closed at yesterdays prices The
sales were limited, and we can expect yery little
activity in the market until the steamer arrives.
The excitement among the stock spectators,
within the past few days, growing out Of the Erie
| Railroad corner, has been very great The do
cision made on Monday in the upper board or the
g House of Lords,'' upon case involving about
! $500, has given the receivers momentary yicto-
ry but the impression is that decision upon other
cases, about being brought forward, will be the
reverse of the first. The lower board, or the
House of Commons" takes no part in the ques-
tions at issue, although many of the members may
be individually interested in the result. New
members Of the upper house were made before
the Eric Railroad resolution came up for final
decision, in the same manner that the Ministry of
Great Britain make Peers for the House of Lords.
when they wish to carry through any particular
| measure.
The leaders among the stock spectators in
Wall street, are the houses of Jacob Little s. Co.,
and Samuel Jaudon s. Co.

There appears to be considerable doubt in the
minds of cotton dealers and others as to the effect
OF repeal of the corn laws and the opening of the
ports OF Great Britain to free trade in corn.
upon the consumption and price of cotton There
IS no doubt to beg with, but that repeal of the
corn laws of Great Britain will reduce the price
OF breadstufs to the consuming classes Of that
Kingdom, and that the condition Of the operative
becomes therefore much improved. Should the
manufacturers even reduce wages in proportion to
the reduction in the price of breadstufs, the ope-
ratives would be benefited by increased employ
ment, as the manufacturers could afford the same
article at a less price, and the consumption in
crease at home, if it did not elsewhere The
opinion in Great Britain appeared to be very gene
raj that the manufacture and expectation of cot
ton goods would be very much increased by a re-
peal of the corn laws.
