COTTON GOODS.—MAnceserrm MAY 4.—The demand
continues moderately active for most kinds of fabrics suited
to the Fast, including ahirtinp, T cloths, madapollams, and
*meta, and prices are well sustained. A fair business
has also been done during the week for South American
and some other foreign markets. For the home trade there
is still a demand for 'printing cloths, but the lateness of the
spring has operated disadvantageously for the print trade so
far w the home market is concerned. Domestics continue
steady, and the demand for them is rather on the increase.
The prices of most kinds of cloth now approximate to the
quotations at the commencement of last month. In yarns,
the animation reported on Tuesday continues. There may
be rather lees business, but there is a constant demand
springing up which gives life to the market, and fully sus.
tains prices. Twist sod pin cops for the Blackburn market
are in more active request in consequence of the large older*
given out for light bailie shirting'.
