MARKETS.

COTTON GOOl2B.

MANOHFZITR, JAN. 31.
There has been a more general business in cloth to-day,
but the market is still very quiet, Previously this week
the business done was elderly fur the India trade, but yew
terday and today the inquiry has extended to descriptions
of cloth suited to other markets. There le no clew in
prom all departments showing great firmness. There is no
other feature of improvement, and the tone of the market
is dull. In the yarn market there has been rather more
activity than on Tuesday, though there was en irn-
proventeet then as compered with last week. Prices
are a shads higher. The German and home trade
houses have been the principal buyers. The Germans have
shown a disposition to do a greet deal of business, where
they could meet with yarns at moderate prices, but the
complaint hes bees very general amongst them of their in-
ability to meet with anything at the rates of Tuesday.
They have shown a good deal of anxiety to lay hold of lots
where they could be bad at a fraction under this day's quo-
tations, and would pay the rates quoted on Tuesday, having
apparently acquired more confidence in the stability of the
high terms recently ruling, which it is generally believed
now will be maintained for some time to come. So many
mills have closed, however. that yarns are difficult
to meet with at lower prices than the improved
quotations of to-day. There is more confidence in the
Ll:lamarket generally than for some weeks past.
John Platt, the eminent machine maker at OldMim,
stated at the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday, that he
did not believe there was as much distress in this part of
the country as there had been in previous years of our his-
tory; and this statement is in accordion's with the, opi-
nions of most well informed people here, nod that a:-
premed by the leading journals. It may be interesting to
entice that notwithstanding the opinion recently expressed
by Mr. Roebuck that the working men of this country did
not avail themselves of the savior banks, that the retrain
from 'those establishments in this part of England show
♦ favourably in this respect. In a elassification of de-
tors issued by the Manchester savings bank, it is stated
t the number of cotton spinner', weavers sad their
assistants who have &counts with the bank is 13,997, whose
deposits avenge 261. ; silk spinners, weavers, kc., 2,315,

Blackburn savings banks shows th►t there are 4,040 dens,.
actors, of whom 1,149 are factory workers, the rest being
i node up mostly of other classes of wotkiog nieu. Sarywols,

compared with the previous year, attributable, to some ex-
test, to so many of the operatives having been thrown out
of work.
