COTTON GOODS.—MANCHMITIM, AuLost* 29.—Today
we have bad the wildest and most excited market probably
ever known in Manchester, and the remark applies to both
yarn and cloth. In yarns the operations have been of
almost unexampled magnitude, and almost all kinds and
qualities have met with a ready male at an advance :141. to
3d. per lb. on Tuesday's quotations. The yarns taken by
shippers have been required chiefly foe continental markets.
and but little business is believed to have been done for
India or China ; but the principal operations have been for
speculation. The ingenues manifested by buyer, to get
bold of suitable parcels is described as quite a novelty in this
market, the speculators including persons of both sense and
quite unon nested with the ordicery trade. A quantity el yam
for which 3e. per lb. was refused on Tuesday, was taken
eagerly to-day at Is. 3d. The market closes strong at the
advance. In cloth the market ban been quite as excited
as in yarns, and the demand his included almost every
description of goods. Speculators have bought with great
freedom, and prices have advanced 1223. to 183. per piece
as compared with Tuesday. Musa John Ponder ands.
quoted 841 b. shirtiogs in their monthly circular of My
last, at les per piece, and to-day we bear of them selling
at 16s. The amount of business has been large during the
whole week, and the sales to-day are reported to be very
extensive. Very little is doing for shipment. and the regu-
lar merchants in the export trade appear for the present to
be almost abandoning the market to speculators. The chief
encouragement to speculators berehas probably been in the
comparative low prices a yarns and cloths.
as compared with cotton and in the very limited stocks of
cotton ,• but one Maid of confidence which is bringing specu-
lators forward mare freely is in the improbability of an
surly termination of the American war. It is contended
by many that the North cannot accept of any compromne,
because, if they did, the further destruction of the Union is
inevitable ; and that consequently the struggle mast go on
till one or both sides are exhausted, of which there is little
probability for a long time to come. If this opinion is cor-
rect it will be long before we have a supply of American
cotton, while of the shipments from India the bulk will net
be due in this country till November.
