MANCLIEST.ER, JAW. 19.
There has been.a good feeling in the market,,butbusl.
ness has been interrupted•tomome extent by rather higher
prices being necessitated by a rise in cotton. A. rather
cppsiderable business has been done for India. in 20'4
and 60's mule at an advance of id. to id. per lb. In
othefilescriptions there has been a less active. dolma,
but the aggregate sales have reached a fair amount. A
mookerate business is reported for the Mediterranean.
FiiiDerwany some-small orders have been given out
where prices were favourable, but the buyers for this
market have operated with much caution. " The
home-trade houses were also buyers of. yarn to
a moderate extent, at very full prices, aid is
some instances cops- and warps sold at a slight
advance. For China, also there was some demand.
Cloths did not go ,off so freely as yarns;. sellers asked

There has been a tolerably goolliCaEttpenScialnOure .inl9ihe
c!oth-halls this morning. The tone of the market has
been firm, and generally the improvement noticed in late
reports has been fully maintainedi- A .few order, for
spring goods have been.given out, and:W slight -increase
in business is experienced by both the home anti foreign
houses ; but a great deal of caution is used on.all side.,
and undoubtedly will be until the settling of accounts
for the past year's transactions be nearly completed.
There have been one or two failures iri the outlying
districts of this town , within the lait few, daye,'but they
are not in the 'aggregate to a serious arpotinf. Mr. John
!Lathery Hubbard, wool 'inerctant, ' whose failure was
recently mentioned in The Sun, passed his last examina-
tion in -the District Court of Bankruptcy at: thli-town
yesterday. The balance-sheet showed that the bankrupt
had long been in insolvent circumstances, being deficient
to the extent of 20,6581. on the Ist January, 1856, the
• date from which the account were made up.. The total
liabilities were now 44,382/., and the assets were 1,0491.,
and it was stated that it wasprobable that on)y 2s. 6d.
in the pound would be realised for the creditors.

The ininetseturers in 'the neighbourhood are giving out
more work and employing their hands and machinery
better. In the neighbouring town of Halifax there is an
improvement in the carpet Wide, and Messrs. Crossley
and Son, the well-known carpet manufacturers, have
just recommenced their hands at full time, 'except those
i❑ the printing department, who are for the present
continued at eight hours' work per day.
