MANUFACTURES. animalism:lx), Fan. 25.
Tbe buyers attending today hare not been so numerous
as the last week or two. Business transactions, however,
are a little on the increase, but still much below an are-
na, spring trade. Inquiries ►re mostly for something new
in fancy trouserinp and coatings. Good black doeskins
are a little more in demand, but general market goods do
not meet with much improvement. Local merchants'
orders from the country are more numerous, but small in
amount. All descriptions of low goods adapted for the
shipping trade still continue much depressed.

COTTON GOODS. —blencintarna, Fes. 25.—The market
for cotton yarn and cloth bee been gradually declining
ever since Friday noon, under the combined influisnoes of
a etegassice sawed by high prim end sympathy with •
weaker 'cites market at Liverpool. The decline will
average fully id. per lb., but in moms asses will exceed
that. Sellers of shipping yarns say the market for these
goods hes been vary strong Fe-day, and that n fair Weiner
has been done at full isest that la to my the full prime
quoted this morning ;-and flat laser news from Liverpool,
by telegrem, this afternoon has had • teadency to increase
operations se compared with the elate of things this morn-

at the 0011111111110erailli this morning, and 'planers were
anxious sellers at a denier of IL hams say id. to id.) per
lb. as compared with Friday last. There was even a dis-
position to greater weakzeas, but it has been °hooked by
advice. from Liverpool of a stronger feeling having sprung
up in the cotton market This branch of the market closes
moderately Arm, hat the whole transactions of the day
have been but small. In cloths there has been very little
doing for a week put, and since the commencement of •
reaction in veto, some days ago, there has been but little
change, although buyers have had the option of purohne
jag on mach easier terms. Bat little beams has been
practicable at any pries. Manufacturer. are still to some
extent in • disadvantageous position as to °Wiling fresh
orders, in consequence of the numeral' ramie lots of
cloth preened upon the market by opotulotoos at lower
prises than the geode could now les made. To-day,
although the market has ao appearance of gloom, buyers
show very little disposition to purchase, and few offers
have been made at rates which could be accepted by
awhile& It is impossible in th. present state of the
market to give • very accurate idea of values, but se
