MANCHESTER, March 6.—ln yarns there Its been
rather more business offering than on Tuesdy, and
some descriptions are a shade higher in price.
The demand has been rather more general, he in-
quiries proceeding from buyers connecte with
most of the export as well as home trade rarkets.
At the same time the business has not been large,
though it has been sufficient to check thtdown-
ward tendency of price, and to give efirmer
tone to the market generally. In clothe there
has also been a more cheerful feeling, accorpanied
with considerable more business. There aria good,
many orders in the hands of agents, and the;nquiry
making with a vie tv to the execution of tries orders
has of itselt ter.ded to strengthen prices it some
measure. i'here is still, however, a gooddeal of
timidity among buyers, and the transactions have
mostly been confined to small quantities as autpared
with the usual scale on which business is trAacted
in ordinary times. There seems to be an impression
that, for the present, prices have touched the ()west
point, and, notwithstanding the reluctance 01 pur-
chasers to give full rates, the holders as wellas the
makers of cloth appeared disposed to keep up to
their quotations. For a c up, eof days past, where
sales have been made, the advantage has been slightly
in favour of sellers. For f rat rate makes of cloth,
some of which are held by manufacturers wholiave
ceased to produce, a few sales are reported at the
full rates for which such goods have been held since
last September. The continued good accounts &Dm
Calcutta and Bombay, as well as a better tone in Ole
cotton market, tend to encourage the improved fe
dote
has here to-day ; and the nature of the busitess
has also been more encouraging than of late, t e
purchases to-day and yesterday being understood to
be for export or home consumption, and not of 'a
speculative character. It is reported als4l_Tda3,7 that
some of the mil!s which had recently recommenced
work are again closed, so that it is believed there
will be a decrease of production. Most of the orders
given out to-day, and the inquiries, have been for
India, causing, among other light fabrics, a better
demand for mulls. . . . . .._ . ..

NOTTINGHAM, 6ti}.—At this Exchange-hall to-
day there was only a moderate attendance of mer
chants and manufacturers. There was a rather
better feeling in the demand for lace yarns, buyers
being more willing to operate, and, as holders were
less desirous to push sales, previous rates were sup-
ported. Hosiery yarns met a very dull sale, and
prices were about the same as on Tuesday. Spun
silk was very firm, other sorts unchanged. For
brown nets the demand was fiat, and prices were
nominally unaltered.
