COMMERCXAL.
NEW YORK MARKET.

NEW DIRK, Dec. D, lofl.
Dealers in dry goods will not be surprised
to learn that raw cotton has advanced to 1875,
ut least, few people here are. AT the same
time manufactured cotton sells very slowly, and
on few OF the leading brands we notice
eight decline The mid winter dullness is now
felt in all it's force, and il we are not much
mistaken, jobbers would lose little by salecting
staple aaeortments before January. Wooden
goods are moving more freely at about former
rates. The check winch the upward tendency
OF wool has received within Pew days excludes
tho probability OF rise in cloths. In bread
stIffs we have still an embarrassing market.-
Flour is heavy, even low grades OF the ''squaw"
or export kind. Wheat Is dull, and notwith-
standing the large quantity detained on the ca
nal, aud navigation completely closed holders
are ANXIOUS to realize. Prices show very little
change since last week. Liverpool gives no
encouragement. Corn is unsettled, at 7S1SOc,
or 1c higher This may be due to the advance
of 56l6c on whisky, which now commands sl.Oo.
Oats, barley and rye are all quiet but steady
Hops are held firm, and consumers are more
willing to purchase; finest state held at Csc
mess pork, spot or January, s13.5O@13. rs;
February or March, s1i9145O. Lard 9@99ic.
Butter and cheese dull Eggs 3l@35c. Gold

DETROIT MARKET.
DETROIT. Dec 6.
The central figure in our market just now is
dressed hog. The receipt Of hogs 80 far this
season have been about the same as up to the
same time last year, but the circumstance are
different in many respects. Winter weather
has SET in 80 much earlier this season that the
receipts should 30 at least double up to this
time. Beside, tho number grows beautifully
legs daily, and at ihe rate at which the dlmlnu-
ton is going on we viii not be receiving enough
TO supply the retail trade, in couple OF weeks.
Seine Of our packers have suspended operation
in consequence OF the scarcity, and others pre-
pose to do no packing this season unless prices
fail off very maternity. Farmers, on the other
hand ara dse atisfed with tue prices, and 1t is
believed the scarcity is produced by their refus-
ing to sell. Such state Of thing is OF course,
disastrous to trade. How it will eventuate
would take moIs than the limits OF this letter
to DISGUISE One way. however, ia for the far
mers to do the packing, either individually or
comparatively and whether professional pack
ers are really trying to bear the market too
strongly, the prices obtained for mess pork
next summer will tell. The prices paid for
hogs to-day was S4.75@5.0O.
Clover seed attracts good deal OF attention.
Since week ago prices have varied but little,
and tho market seem to rule in buyers favor.
