MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCIIESTER.—The same causes that have exerted an un-
favourable influence upon this market for several weeks still
remain in force, and the longer they continue the more stag-
nant does business become, and the more palpable is the effect
upon prices. On Tuesday, the market was exceedingly dull,
the business of the day being of the most limited character,
and no improvement can be noted since then. Yarns are not
being purchased in any quantity, the orders being more nu-
merous than large. For India there is very little doing. The
operations for Germany are cautiously entered upon, and of
limited extent ; whilst only retail purchases go on for the
Mediterranean ; and the home trade manufacturers only buy
sparingly, in order to avail themselves of the advantages ex-
pected to arise from a declining cotton market. Prices are
lower universally. Goods are almost worse to sell than yarns.
The Greek houses, who were of late large purchasers, have
been doing very little for some weeks, and have certainly not
extended their purchases this week. Their accounts are not
quite so favourable, and though remittances are pretty regu-
lar, no orders accompany them. India goods are in very small
request, and the lighter makes for the market are again lower.
Perhaps the best description of goods at present is printing
cloth of certain descriptions for home printing, which are the
only sorts which do not exhibit a sensible decline in price.—
Manchester Courier.

RocnDALE.—The flannel market has not undergone much
change. The demand is tolerably steady, and nearly equal to
the supply. Last week's price of wool has been fully main-
tained, but the manufacturers purchase only for their imme-
diate wants.

HIiDDERSFIELD.—Market without change, about the same
amount of business having been transacted in the cloth-hall
and in the warehouses. Wools continue firm.

LEDs.—The market at the Cloth Halls was very brisk,
and the stocks were nearly cleared out; in consequence, the
mills continue to be actively employed. Prices are steady.
Business has been brisk for the home trade this week, and a
little improvement has taken place with the shipping houses.
BRADFORD.—WooI: The demand for wool is not so active
as a few weeks ago. The continued increase in the value of
money has had a somewhat depressing influence, but there is
no disposition to give way by the staplers, for, the difficulty to
buy in the country is not in any degree lessened. Yarn : A
steady business doing in spools, and no change in prices. For
shipping the demand continues active, especially for corded
yarns. Pieces : The business doing in the warehouses is very
good. For grey goods there is no change ; but a general
complaining exists with regard to the prices current.
NOTTINGHAM.—The trade of this district is not so brisk as
usual, partly on account of the war, but now more particularly
on account of the incessant drain of specie which is continually
taking place, which temporarily disarranges commercial affairs,
but which of necessity will be remedied in the accustomed
course of trade, as reaction always follows such a state of things.
The price of yarn is unsettled, and probably will remain so for
some short time, from the above-mentioned cause.
