MANCHESTER, APRIL 26.—We have no improvement in
actual business, though the movements of mercantile houses
indicate • disposition to operate rather extensively, could
producers be induced to accept sufficiently low rates. This,
indeed, has been the course of the yarn and cloth market
throughout the week, and it is truthfully described in the
circular of a large house this morning, who arc both exten-
sive manufacturers as well as merchants. They say " Our
market this week has been uneasy and irregular. The de-
clining and uncertain state of the cotton market keeps alive
that want of confidence which has lately characterised the
Manchester market, and continues to deter merchants from
purchasing more than their immediate wants require. By
this state of things prices have been tested more
or less for several weeks past, but this week more
severely than before ; stocks, though still comparatively light,
increase, and manufacturers betray great reluctance to hold
goods made' from dear materials if it can be prevented, but
while the buying is on a scale below the production it can-
circumnot be avoided. For permanent relief from this state of
stances we do not look until cotton fulls to • point
that will give confidence both to manufacturers and mer-
chants, and this is likely to be a tedious and slow process
whilst the mills are worked full time, securing to the Liver-
pool market weekly a demand equal to the consumption.
The question would he more speedily settled, and more ad-
vantageously too, to both spinners and manufacturers, if
short time were adopted, but in the absence of this remedy
being applied it seems probable that holders of goods and
yarns will suffer considerable loss, as they generally do at
the termination of periods of speculative excitement in the
I raw material." This extract corroborates the views taken
in our notices of the causes operating disadvantageously
to this market for sonic time past, and we do not see any
probability of a very speedy removal of them. It is ex-
pected that all the accounts taken out since those by the
Baltic will have • depressing influence on the cotton mar-
kets in America, and merchants basing their calculations
on this expectation are unwilling to make offers to which
spinners and manufacturers can be easily brought to accede.
Such has been the ease this morning, and it has been so
all the week through, or there areindications enough of a
demand having sprung up lately which would considerably
lighten the hands of producers. The Germans are active
inquirer, and the houses usually purchasing on Russian
account are also beginning to make offers. For India there
is not much disposition to operate at present, and the ad-
vice: by the next Overland Mail will be anxiously looked
for before a different disposition can be expected tube mani-
fested. The home trade are doing more business, and
might ale° be expected to do a much larger business if the
market was in a more settled state. The decline on cop
yarns at the opening of the market, as compared with this
day week, were about id. per lb. and Id. on bundled yarn ;
' but purchases have been made on yet easier terms in some
cases, and where manufacturers and spinners have re-
fused to yield to such terms it has been at a sacrifice of
business.

LINEN.—BELPAST, APRIL 2i.—Tho yarn market has
been remarkably dull during the put week. There are
few operations, and stocks aro increasing; very good 40's
line can be bought at Ss. Ild., 4.5's at 4s. 9d., and 50's to
70'. at 4s. 71d., and a large discount given for cash. In
Ballymena, on Saturday, there was very little cloth sold;
there has seldom been so dull a market, both as regards
yarns and cloth. In Coleraine and Armagh business in
cloth was trifling. Wages have fallen in the country dis-
tricts. As yanes are reduced, and likely to be W. per bundle
lower next month, it is expected that cloth will be made
much cheaper, and manufacturers be enabled to do a more
saving business.

HARDWAItE.—BIRMINOHAM, APRIL 28.—1 n the
heavy branches of our manufactures trade continues brisk
—tin orders being considerable, both as regards the town
and district. The fancy trades are for the most part suffer-
ing from a depression which has been creeping on fur some
time past; the general staple trades being, however, in a
flourishing state; business here may be upon the whole
pronounced to be far more healthy than can be expected in
a nimulacturing community embracing so large a variety of
articles produced. The foreign trade continues brisk,
although fur the Canada" it is mostly over for the season.
