STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, March 19.—1 n shipping yarns
there has been a good deal of business during the
last few days at higher prices, values having been
enhanced by the continued activity at Liverpool,
with a strengthening of prices. To-day this branch
of the market has been quieter, though firm. In
home-trade yarns sellers have been asking -id. to id.
per lb. in advance of last Tuesday's prices, but there
has not been much business, buyers having appa-
rently pretty well supplied their wants during the
slight impulse given to the market last week, and
being now disposed to wait a little; at least they
do not seem inclined to follow the advance. In
cloths the business has been of small amount for
some days, although holders have been tolerably
firm to their advanced quotations caused by
the rise in cotton. For the sales they have made
very little advance has been obtained, buyers ap-
pearing quite unwilling to go into the market for
anything beyond what is necessary to supply press-
ing wants. To-day we have a firm market in cotton
and yarn, and that strengthens the quotations of
manufacturers. Still there is a decided indisposition
to buy, and the market closes with a small business
and really no advance in prices. Mr. John Slagg
and Co. report of to-day's cloth market :
" The operations of the past week have for the
most part been confined to small lots, and the total
business has been of insignificant amount. Thelarge
business and enhanced price of cotton in Liverpool,
together with the advanced quotations for yarns
to day, render makers firm at their quotations, but
buyers show no inclination to operate, and little, if
any; advantage can be realised on last iireek'@ rates."
