export.

corroN GOODS. MANCRIDSTIR, Masai 31. Is
yarns there has not been much business done to-day, owing
to the high prices demanded by spinners generally. What
has been effected may be taken at an avenge of about lad.
per lb. advance upon the prices of last Friday. Producers
area good deal disappointed, because with the encouraging
advice. recently to band from India, and with the fact that
contracts recently entered into for India cloth to be made
in this district, a heavy demand was expected from manu-
facturers as well as shippers. The rise in pries recently,
however, has been so continuous and the net advance so
serious that both manufacturers and shippers are constantly
finding themselves anticipated. It is not simply awe of
the cotton dealer and spinner treading on the heels of the
manufacturer—that might be expected—but imme-
diately the Indian advice. give an impression
that there will be an increased demand for
cloth, up go the prima of both yarn and cotton,
and the maker of cloth sees the way blocked is advance ; he
cannot take orders to make, because the rates he will have
to pay for the raw material give him so chance of teadeeing
for contracts within the limit. of buyers. If ha has fer►
seen what was likely to happen in India. and has bees for-
inset. to lay is material a month or so hack, well and good ;
if not, the holders of specvlative stocks have the advantage,
and both to-day and fur some days some large lots of specu-
lative goods have changed hands. Since the highly en-
couraging telegrams tolisiod on Thursday last from 101' leutta,
others have been received from that quarter bringing dates
as late as the 17th inatant and reporting se excited market
there, with an advance of 6d. to 9d. per piece as 'births(
cloths in live days. This has led to a very active inquiry
in the Manchester market, at lid. to 9d. per piece higher
than the rates of last Tuesday. The advance cheeks busi-
ness, but still there has been a moderate, if sot considerable
amount traonicted. There is not much doing for the home
trade, or indeed any other markets than those of Bombay and
Calcutta. What is doing sow is meetly fee Caleutas, whams
prices have now reached a point which really gives to
shipper* an opening they have not bad fur some time past.
It is expected that the shipment. to India for March will
show a comaidssable increase, and that those for April will

be much greeter. There Is a talk of some mills that have
been closed re.opeuiog after the late busbies', especially by
spinners ; but they will not be numerate'. Some very large
orders have recently been triton by spinners of 40's mule
for Indi►, but chiefly by spinners who had not deed alto-
gether, so that in these caw the Moreau' of work will pro.
bebly be only from a third et half to fall time.

WOOLLEN.—Luna, Mainz 31.—The month &nes
with a quiet market in bath departments. In the Coloured

Thera ham Imo a rather better demand for light fancy goods
suitable for spring sod summer wear; but in the other de.

sinus in thee* kinds, ease slight reductions in price heirs
been conceded.
