Carron Place Oune.—The amount of business done under this
bead has not been quite up to average; and, owing to a freer arrival
of Imports, prices have in many instances been a shade lower. A fair
inquiry, however, exists for the principal Manchester staples, end we
trust before beg the market will regain its usual spirit and activity.
Met., Twarr.—The decline noticed In our but issue under this bead

75 to II per 100 rads., and 350 mds. Bombay, at 35 per 100 Ends.
Erroars.—An improving demand has been experienced for almost
every single article of export, and holders have been enabled to realise
higher mice* generally. Owing, however to the scantiness of sup.
plies now in the market, operations have not been so extensive by any
means as otherwise they might have been. The market is in a sound
healthy position, and we may safely calculate upon its remaining so
j for ease time.
_ . . _ .

Indoo.-15Oring the fortnight operations have been on rather a
moderate scale, owing to no other cause than the rapidly decreasing
stock to the market. About 7,000 Inds., we may calculate, remain un.
disposed of, which will finally close the operations of the season.
Bales begin to fall off, and prices have undergone no material alters.
