STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, Feb. 26.—For shipping yarns the
market has been quiet, and to effect sales spinners
would have to take lower prices. The amount of
business has been very small. In home trade yarns
the market has also been quiet, buyers limiting their
purchases merely to a sufficient quantity to cover
the orders they have taken for cloth. Prices are
nominally the same as on Tuesday, but practically
buyers find them a little in their favour. The cloth
market is somewhat better, and so far as there is
any change it is in favour of manufacturers. A fair
inquiry has been experienced for most classes of
goods suitable for India and China, and prices ap-
pear to have been very well maintained. The busi-
ness doing is still on a limited scale, and buyers
generally are operating with caution. Holders of
cloth and manufacturers appear to be still sanguine
about the maintenance of prices, and in most cases
are disposed to increase their quotations. Messrs.
John Pender and Co., in their monthly circular of
this day, say that since the 9th inst. " a fair amount
of business has been done at hardening rates, par-
ticularly in cloths suitable for China. During the
last three or four days the market has been quiet
and less business done; still prices are firm, and we
find no pressure to sell. To-day the feeling is again
more cheerful." In China shirtings, they say, con-
siderable sales have been made of 71b at 17s 6d to
18s 3d, and of 811 b at 21s to 221 Bd. In T-cloth
there had been a fair business at 2s 3d to 2s 6d per
lb. Quotations for figured shirtings and brocades
unchanged. Calcutta goods in rather more demand,
but still the business is small. Same fair orders
placed in wide shirtings at rather lower prices.
Madapolams, jacconents, mulls quiet. For Bombay
little doing. 33-inch 51lb sold at 13s 3d; 6113 at
15s to 15s 6d ;
to 22s 6d, 71b at 17s 6d to 183; and 81lb at 21s
Long cloths quoted 2s 3d to 2s 4d
p r lb.
