TRADE IN TITIE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.
MANCHESTER, Friday.—Market quieter since Tuesday,
with very little business doing. Where producers are in a
position to accept orders, they are willing to take slightly
lower prices.
BRADFORD, Thursday.—Few sales of wool have been i
effected to-day. What s sold is for immediate and pressing
wants. Prices remain unchanged. Noils and shorts conti-
nue inactive. In worsted yarns there is the same activity
we have noticed for some time past on the part of those
engaged in the home trade. The spinners are well employed
to order. The export houses, however, are doing less than
they were, and their absence from the market is felt by
some who prefer allowing their machinery to remain idle to
working to stock. Cotton yarns are only in limited demand.
In goods manufacturers are generally well employed to
order, and stocks are not accumulating either in merchants'
or manufacturers' hands.
NOTTINGHAM, Thursday. Several of the branches of the
lace trade continue gradually to improve. Wide laces in
imitation of pusher goods are in good request. The German
buyers are in the market, but their purchases are exceed-
ingly small ; bnt the American trade is fast improving, and
good expectations are entertained. Another failure is spoken
of, and the party mentioned is extensively engaged in the
silk edging trade. The hosiery trade continues good in
every department, and frames are standing for want of
workmen.
LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET.—MARCH 18.
Colonial, &c.: We continue to have a qfliet market for
Sugar, the sales being confined to 40 hhds Cuba at 40s 6d
per ewt, and nothing has occurred in Molasses, Rum, or
Coffee. At the public sales of 23,000 bags of Arracan Rice,
the whole of the sound was withdrawn, and only 4,000 bags
damaged found buyers ; 2,500 bags Bengal, part all faults,
were disposed of at 8s 6d per cwt for sound. Dyewoods :
The sales are confined to 60 tons Jamaica Logwood at £3
15s to £4 per ton. Ashes : 400 barrels Pots sold at 29s ;
other sorts in proportion ; and Pearls dull at 31s 6d per cwt.
Small sales of Nitrate of Soda at previous rates. Of Brim-
stone, 20 tons at £8 5s for 3rds, and 10s per ton for best
2nds ; the sales for the week amount to 500 tons at 15s
to £8 10s for best 2nds, besides 200 tons 3rds, afloat, to
arrive, at £7 12s 6d per ton delivered. 6 barrels grey
Tartar reported, at 102 s 6d; 200 bags Sago Flour at 15s ;
300 boxes large Pearl Sago at 16s 6d to 16s 9d ; 100 sacks
foreign _Farina at 14s per cwt. 30 tons Mother-of-Pearl
Shells at £5l, and 10 tons Rio Divi-divi at £lO lOs per ton.
Oils, &c : Of Palm, 20 to 30 tons taken at £45 per ton; a
small business in Olive, without change ; and some sales of
Gingelly, at 35s per cwt. The market for Tallow is a little
better; P Y C at 53s 9d per cwt. Nothing to notice in
Lard, Rosin, or Spirits of Turpentine. The Tute market
has become very dull, and of 1,750 bales brought to auction,
only about one-third sold at £l5 to £l9 7s 6d per ton, being
rather easier rates.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—lanat 18.
The vaccilating state of the public mind respecting peace
or war, creating uncertainty and mistrust, exercises its 6ans.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—MARCH 18.
Our Corn Exchange this morning brought an average
attendance: the trade in wheat was of a firmer character,
and previous rates in some cases rather exceeded ; a fair
quantity was bought for shipment to Ireland, and some
enquiry on speculation. Oats slow, so were barley, peas,
and Indian corn—prices unchanged. Beans slightly dearer,
Sack, barrel flour and oatmeal in moderate request, at our
former quotations. American oaty red wheat, 5s 5d to 6s ;
French red, 6s to 6s 3d; white, 6s 6d to 6s 10d; Danzig,
