COTTON.—LIVERPOOL. MAT 2.—There was a
steady market today, and 12,000 hales were sold, including 117100
taken for export, and 3,500 for speculation.
MANCHESTER, MAT 2. Tee advances in the cotton
market continue to have a corresponding effect on the prices of goods
here, and no doubt have an important ielluence in limiting the pre-
sent demand. Spinners and manufacturers continue to demand It alter

the market, and which has mainly supported the late ateinees in the
raw material. The operati lin for the continental p .rts are below the
average of the season ; sad little is doing either for the United States
or South America. German buyers continue sparing of their invest-
ments; and, notwithatauding the continued low priers, Greek hours
are timid with regard to any eztecoive speculations. The home trade
continue, to disappoint the sanguine hopes of the.. who prenieted the
probability of a very large and prosperous demand fur the s; ring Ka-

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. —Norm:o/lAm,
May 2.—The bold measure of forcing out the glove workmen, and
keeping them unemployed until they sill submit to an ingress/ in
the moat of the master-man in edit gloves and the frame-rent of the
lotion glove workman, still continues with unabated rigour. The
cotton hands are to'erably well supported, but the silk hand' are
sufn ring most severely, having scarcely any relief; yet we hear
lof very few of them going to work, er even wishing to
submit, they dreading the consequences of lying at the mercy et the
employers, who Waist upon their breaking up the union. It LB awned
that there are se less than 1,700 silk workmen in the counties of
Nottingham and Derby who have been thus forced out, whist hun-

in a fair casdition, notwithstanding the great quantities made, in.

wide frames. This has much alarmed the workmen; but it is now
stated that these staking., being made without a seam, twist round
when worn, the toe taking the place where the heel should be. It is
further stated that many packages sent to Germany have been re.
turned to the merchants.—The plain silk turn-out has ended, with
the exception of one long-established house, emi.loying about twenty

a most depressed condition. The knotted gloves, however, are
rather flaurishing.—The cotton wreeght hose branch, the principal
manufacture of the county, is in a tolerable condition, the frames
generally beingemployed. It is nunoured that they have caught the
spirit of the union, and that they and the plains lk hose hands intend

and as there is but little coming to market, there la no rUsposition to

by the spinners. the stocks in the hands of the consumers are very

MANUFACTURES.—Baaproito, May 2.—Ther• is a
