From the manufacturing districts, the accounts
for the past week report that with a few exceptions
business has been very quiet. At Manchester

field there has been an average attendance
of buyers, but their operations have been chiefly
Confined to sorting up stocks, while heavy cloths
have sold only slowly. In the hosiery and lace
departments of Leicester and Nottingham no mate-
rial change can be reported, while at Birmingham,
and most of the other hardware districts, there has
been a tendency to increased quietude.
