pool, have added not a little to day to the perplexi-
ties of our market. The commonness of such (
reports at this period of the year, in every kind
of season, causes them to be now received
with much suspicion ; and yet it is felt that
statements made by all parties engaged in the busi-
ness, even the most cautious and trustworthy, cannot
be without some foundation. Still, the favourable
fact is looked at, that the rains had ceased, and finer
weather commenced, just before the dates of these
advices. The effect of all this has been a good deal
of irregularity in yarns. Many sppinners of such
numbers and qualities as are suitable for home manu-
facture, have either raised their quotations or shown
an indisposition to enter into fresh engagements;
while there are others who have been a little
more inclined to accept orders; and on the part of
consumers, again, conflicting views and courses have
been observable, with a preponderance, however,
on the side of resistance to a further advance.
The India merchants may be said to be out
of the market—they are waiting for the mail,
which may be looked for towards the end of the
week. The buyers for the continent and markets
of the Mediterranean have operated with much
wariness and hesitation, and altogether on a very
restricted scale. The limited business now doing on
foreign account, is the direct consequence of a lower
range of prices in almost every other market than in
our own. In order that prices may rise to our level,
additional supplies must, for a time, be sparingly sent
out. After all, however, we have to report considerable
steadiness in the prices of spinnings for exportation. In
goods, the makes suitable for the east have continued
as dull as they were last week ; indeed, almost all
fabrics have been neglected, except printing cloths,
which, in some widths and qualities, have been in
good demand, at full rates. The Greeks are pur-
chasing rather more freely than of late, in conse-
quence of somewhat improved advices from Constan-
tinople and from Persia, particularly in regard to
printed calicoes.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The market.has un-
commonly brisk again to-day, especially
priced flannels ; but, on account ofthe past, being the
for low.
wakes week, there was a more limited number of
pieces in the market. The wool market continues
slack, and prices steady.
MACCLESFIELD,TUESDAY.—SiIk throwing being

process,

does nob so suddenly show de-
pression improvement as other staple trades. A

w bales
of tedious winding, require a month
o rr
or two ere they can bs passed through the machinery,
and hence we have to report a continued steadiness
of employment in this department. Probably
the steady employment of the hands in this
department may in some measure be accounted
for by the higher rates at which thrown silk is now
selling (prices having advanced considerably) and also
by the manufacturers in Manchester and elsewhere,
having been large buyers of raw silk, which they are
giving out to throwsters here andin Congleton, to work
for hire. We are surprised to hear of the continued
slackness in the manufacturing department, as we un-
derstand the dyers are well employed, which is generally

of
weaving sent from here to the rural districts of
Cheshire and Lancashire, in consequence of the to w
prices at which weaving is done there. The import
of foreign silk goods appears to go on increasing ;
but this may probably be accounted for by the
large quantities re-exported to America and other
markets.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The goods at all
adapted for the season exhibited in the Cloth-hall, met
with purchasers as early as ten o'clock this morning.
In the warehouses there is still considerable activity.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—No large amount of goods
has changed hands in our Piece Hall to day, but there
is a good deal doing to order, and in the warehouses.
in prices there is no variation. Yarns continue to be
in good demand at former quotations, and there., is a
moderate inquiry for wool, at late rates.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Not much doing today at the
halls, but there have been considerable deliveries of
goods made to order direct from the clothiers. Prices
are steady and stocks lower than usual. A very brisk
business is doing in the warehouses, both for home
and foreign trade.
