Indian,. 4,383 bales ; Brazil, 2,682 bales. Closing report.—This
market closed quietly to-day. Prices were slightly easier. Sales,
10,000 bales, Arrivals without change.
MANCIIESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The tone of
this market, to-day is barely so good as it was at the end of last
week. The heavy receipts of potton at the American pOrts
combined with the large iraportS into Liverpool, have produced
a more subdued feeling in this market. A fair business was
done towards the end of last week, both in yarn and cloth
which had. the effect of steadying prices. Buyers, howCyfr,
now make fewer offers, and expect a concession in price, having
apparently supplied their present wants. Producers are most
unwilling to reduce their quotations, but the course of the
market looks as !Mils must come. In the meantime this firm-
ness, which is not always adhered to, has limited business to-
day. The principal business dolug is in 39-inch shirtings, and'
similar goods for China. Printers arc dull, and so are heavygoods
for the home trade. Yarns, of which shirtings are made,
are In request, and tolerably firm. Shipping qualities continue
neglected. Quotations to-day are for 39-inch shirtings, 71bs..

moderate business, 114 prices barely supported.
LEEDS TRADE REPORT, Tyw4y.—This market opened
very quiet to-day. No buyers were plesent, whose immediate.
object it was to do business. They say all the thaleis are placed
now which are likely to be on this side of Christmas. Seine
manufacturers think businesi is no worse than it was last De-
cember, while others complain loudly that it is scarcely pos-
,il,lo to make a living'. Cert abs it is, however,
that all . the large firms in Dewsbury, . Batley,
rala the neighbourhood are working night and night. The orders
which We Ugric trade give out are to go into the new year. The
cloths most saleable at present are black 1111i011R' from I:3. 6d.
to 4a. 6d.: but nll that- she waqted can be, supplied from stocks.
These are principally taken for foreign parts, including a large
share for the uniwa States. Some par6els of tweeds have been
taken for London, Manchester, and Scotland. Goods suitable
for the shop trade are frequently bargained for. Low tweeds in
dark colours are occasionally inquired for. A fair trade in mel-
t:gas is expe,;ted for the next two months. Oil is again dearer.
ljnan mills are working less than last week, having orders,
however, in hand fer next week. The iron and engine works
are working average thee. Special machinery is slacker.
