MANCHESTER, Jan. 31.—There has been Ainottfl s
general business in cloth to-day, but the market is
still very quiet. Previously, this week,
the busi-
ness done was chiefly for the India trade,. but
yesterday and to-day the inquiry has extended to
descriptions of cloth suited to other markets, There
is no change in prices, all departments showing
great firmness. There is no other feature of im-
provement, and the tone of the market is dull, In
the yarn market there has been rather more activity
than on Tuesday, though there was an improvement
then as compared with last week. Prices are a
shade higher. The German and hcme trade houses
have been the principal buyers. The Germans have
shown a disposition to do a great deal of business
where they could meet with yarns at moderate
prices, but the complaint has been very general
among them of their inability to meet with anything
at the rates of Tuesday. They have shown a good
deal of anxiety to lay hold of lots where they could
be had at a fraction under this day's quotations, and
would pay the rates quoted on Tuesday, having
apparently acquired mote confidence in the stability
of the high terms recently ruling, which it is gene-
rally believed now will be maintained for some time
to come. So many mills have closed, however, that
yarns are difficult to meet with at lower prices than
the improved quotations to-day. There is more con-
fidence in the yarn market generally than for some
weeks past. Mr. John Platt, the eminent machine
maker at Oldham, stated at the Chamber of Cominerce
yesterday that he did not believe there was as much
distress in this part of the country as there had
been in previous years of our history ; and this
statement is in accordance with the opinions of
most well-informed people here, and that expressed
by the leading journals. It may be interesting to
notice that, notwithstanding the opinion recently
expressed by Mr. Roebuck, that the working men
of this country did not avail themselves of the
savings bank, the returns from those establish-
meats in this part of England show very favourably
in this respect. In a classification of depositors
issued by the Manchester Savings Bank it is stated
that the number of cotton spinners, weavers, and
their assistants who have accounts with the bank
is 13,997 whose deposits average L 26 ; silk spinners,
weavers, &c., 2,315, average deposits £3O ; mecha-
nics and handy craftsmen, 14,624, average deposits
£2B ; other classes of workingspeople, such as ware-
housemen and porters, shoemakers, tailors, dyers,
bleachers, packers, bricklayers, and labourers,
printers, cabinet makers, joiners, railway guards
and porters, gardeners, their labourers, &c., 18,191,
wtth average deposits varying from £25 to £39;
milliners, dressmakers, &c., 4,719, average deposits
£23; domestic servants, 2,538 males and 22,159
females, average deposits, £2l ; friendly societies
(mostly of working men), 754, with average deposits
of £224 ; total 49,127, exclusive of domestic ser-
vants, and 23,326 minors not classified; gross total
of all these classes 97,159 out of 172,390 persons
having accounts with the savings bank. Tue total
deposits amount to £1,306,329, of which the work-
ing classes hold a fair proportion, the highest
average of any class being £39.
