( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, May 2.—We learn from the American
advices that the increasing receipts of cotton at the in-
terior entrepots and at the shipping ports (at the latter
the deficiency being reduced to 573,402 bales), combined
with the state of things on this side the Atlantic, was
causing a further declirre in prices. The steamer left
New York on the 19th ult., and on that day the price
of middling cotton was telegraphed as low as 74 cents
per lb. from New Orleans on the previous day (the
18th). This marks a great reduction since thecounts com-
mencement of the downward tendency. These ac
have rendered the Lives pool market dull, and given
buyers a small advantage, chiefly in the prices of
leafy cotton and of middling and lower qualities. Our
own market has felt the influence of these circumstances,
and of the now very decided interruption of the trade
carried on by the Greek houses, as well as of that dimi-
nished ease in the money market which has been latterly
experienced. Buyers have shown increased caution, and -
the business of the day has been inconsiderable both in
yarns and goods at lirge ; while buyers find a slight ad-
vantage in prices, at least among such producers as are 1(
less favoifrably situated than others in regard to orders.
On the whole, the bias of prices is somewhat against
20
2C
spinners and manufacturers, and small actual concessions
are made in some articles, more perhaps in yarns than in
goods. In 64 and 66-reed cloths, there is rather more
io
purchasing by the printers, for the American houses. rb
Domestics and T cloths, which are very cheap, continue 20'
firm ; and India and China goods, being well bought up, 20
particularly the latter, remain steady in value. 20
The decline of the support fund to a very small amount 20
last week, is causing a greatly accelerated return of the 5
operatives to work, on the masters' terms, at Preston ; 20
and at Stockport a large proportion of the weavers (one- 2°
5
half at least) have yielded to the reduction, and the other
10
classes of bands are doing the same, with the exception 100
20
of the mule spinners and the self-actor minders.

HALIFAX, April 29.—N0 department of the worsted
trade has undergone any alteration for the better.
There is scarcely any inquiry for pieces, and our piece
hall presents a very dull appearance. The demand for 100'
yarns continues much below the power of production, 205
and the spinners ere proportionately contracting their
operations. The wool market is quiet, at late rates.
ROCHDALE, May I.—There is not the least improve-
ment in the flannel market to report to-day. The mer-
chants show no desire to purchase at the present time at
any price. In wool there is little or nothing doing, the •
manufactureas keep out of the market, and prefer work-
ing up the stocks they may have on hand to purchasing
at present.
HUDDERSFIELD, May 2.—Rather more business has
been transacted in the market to-day in seasonable
goods for the home markets, and a few parcels of new
patterns have been looked out by some of the dirport
houses. Business during the past week has been very
dull with both woollen merchants and wool staplers.
