MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The tameness
of tone that we noticed no Tuesday still prevails, but there is
rather more steadiness in prices, which is partly owing to more
cheerful advices from Liverpool yesterday, and also in conse-
quence of rather more inquiries n the part of buyers here ;
but these have not yet led to any appreciable increase
of business. The most Loticeable feature of our
market is the great steadiness of prices compared with the
limited daily operations. This steadiness is due to the engage-
ments still held by producers, coupled with the absence of
stocks, and also to the comparatively strong position of cotton,
notwithstanding the large stocks now held there. Yarns for
the home trade and export are very steady in price to-day, and
shew no decline on those paid on Tuesday. The demand for
India has been small, and for China still less. For the Conti-
nent little has been done of late, but there are signs of more
doing at an surly date. For home trade qualities the full prices
of Tuesaffir 4, asked, and paid for when the wants of buyers are
pressing, In Math the transactions have been of a general char-
acter, and In no instance large. Offers for India are still making
notwithstanding the unfavourable telegrams received from
thence. For other foreign markets there is little doing. The
home trade operations continue quite insignificant.
