COTTON 000D8.—swimmers, May 3.—After a week of
considerable excitement owing to the large bashes in cotton at
Liverpool males 100,000 bales, at an advance of Xjd. per lit the
tone of our market for manufactured goods has toned down very
perceptibly. la sopping yarns the market to-day has been very
quiet, and it is difficult to make sales except at a reduction It
pekes. In home trade yarns business has been tame at the
=raof Tuesday. There has been no pressure to sell, stocks
ng been greatly relieved by the heavy eels made at the low
prices ruling down to the middle of last week. Spinners have
a great deal of confidence in the maintenance of the
scale of prices, but buyers are operate, with nation, sure:enn!
of them report that they have been able to purchase at id to
ed. per lb. under the full rates of Tuesday. In cloth there has
been generally ea indisposition
to give the advanced prices on
Testify. Sellers have not needs a change In their quotations,
but where stocks reraained large. negotiations have not been
without success at something under rates current, though at an
advance on the late low terms of a week ego. To-day there has
been a more general inquiry, but it is said not to have resulted
In much business. In some kinds of heavy goods. each as Bolton
counterpanes, sellers have been able to do rather more at the
low rate of let week, but are unable to get any advance.

THE Tstikaa' STRIKE.—There were some hopes
yesterday morning of the dispute being brought to an end.
Several gentlemen interested in the welfare of the trade
endeavoured to bring about • meeting between the mas-
ters and men to discuss a proposal foe a compromise which
would be honourable to both parties, but unfortunately
heir efforts proved fruitless. The men were willing to
meet the masters and to discuss terms of settlement, but
last evening a communication was brought to the men by
one of the above gentlemen to the effect that the masters
were not prepared to make any concession whatever. On
hearing this the men at once determined to contest the
question in dispute to the last extremity. There are now
about 2,800 men on strike, and several hundred females.
About 2,000 members of the union are still at work for
those employers whose shops have not been struck. These
latter pay • levy of 2s. each per week in support of the
strike, and are prepared to pay a day's pay each if nem-
"'THREATENED STRIKE OF OMNIBUS DRIVERS AND
Cormucroan.—We have reason to believe that, unless a
petition on the MI of presentation from the employes of
the London General Omnibus Company be complied with,
• general strike among the conductors and drivers will
take place before the end of the month.—The Whip.
THE NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY STRIKE.—The
ten engine•drivers who were convicted at Hull of having
left their employment without notice were brought up
for judgment at the police-emit in that town on Thurs-
day. The magistrate enlarged on the enormity of their
offence, and was evidently about to a somewhat severe
sentence. The counsel for the North Eastern Railway
Company, however, interposing, recommended the defend .
ants to mercy, and they were condemned only to forfeit
the wag* that had been due to them. The magistrate
expressed a hope that the leniency of the company would
not be lost on the men.
OVBREND GURNEY AND Co.—Yesterday after-
noon Vion-ailnoellor bath. was occupied a considerable

time at chambers in an appliciatioa on the part
of the creditors of Ct.:ilea and Gurney for an order
of the court to make another call of 101. per ahare.
Mr. Davies (Ashurst and Morris) appeared for Mr. Oppen-
helm, the chairman of creditors, in support of the applica-
tion, which was also supported by Mr. Gay for a depositor
to 12,000 f. shortly before the failure, which occurred
in May last year. Mr. Linklater was for shareholders, and
also for the parties appealing to the House of Lords ; Mr.
Maynard was for the official liquidators; and Mr. Har-
ding, one of the liquidators, attended in person. A
lengthened discussion took place in reference to the call
and the position of wets, and it was put whether the
creditors were to wait or whether the shareholders were to
pay. The indebtedness was, it was said, under 3,000,000 f.,
and there was a large sum locked up by the appeals in the
House of Lords. On the part of the liquidators it was
elated that the case would take two years to wind up,
and Mr. Maynard gave it as his opinion that it would take
four years. Mx. Davies asked for a call to be ordered at
once. Mr. Maynard said the liquidatorscierxised to wait
till July next, to see the result of the appeals. Mr. Link-
later urged various reasons why the l should not be
made, and in reference to the reports said the assets ex-
ceeded the indebtedness. The Vice-Chancellor said he was
obliged to make a call, although he had no doubt it would
be distressing to many to pay. All he had to do was to
stand between the creditors and the shareholders. and to
discharge his public duty. Having regard to the time the
creditors had already waited and only been paid 6s. in the
pound, he should order a further call of 101. per share,
payable on the 25th of June next. Order tocadingly.
