MANCHESTER, May 7.—The market for cotton
yaris and cloths is quiet to-day, with only a limited
auroitx ;of business. Yesterday there was a consider-
able briiiness in shipping yarns, and very full prices
were paid. To-day there has been less demand,
and prices are scarcely as firm as yester,lay: There
are pl anty of orders in the market, but buyers have
refrai aid from giving them out in consequence of
the olf etness of the Liverpool cotton market, and
the ta, 'pc of doing better by waiting a few day 4,
Up, 43 the whole, the market closes quietly. '..che
ma eli-,:t for home trade yarns has also been cLuieter
to. dty, and prices, which have been easier e,;er since
Friday, have been rather in favour of buy ers. Only
a small business has been transacted. -..fil cloths we
have had rather a quieter market, without any
decided change in prices. Thera is very little
disposition to activity shown by purchasers for
any market. The heavy purchases made at the low
prices ruling a fortnight ago riot, only cleared out a
good many heavy stocks, but rlaced many of our
leading manufacturers under order for some time
forward. The consequence of these engagements
is that manufacturers are not pressing their goods
on the market. Some offers have been made in
goods suitable for the East, at low prices, but these
have not been accepted. -We are quiet at the close,
Messrs. John Slagg and Go. report of to-da'y's cloth
market :—" Since ourlaFit report a good inquiry has
been maintained, and y.ices have -undergone but
little change. As makeri are now for the most part
engaged for some times goods are less freely offerel,
and our market closfzs steady, but without much
business." The marl-.:et is still hampered a good deal
for wart of confide ace in prices of cotton, owing to
the plentiful supply in prospect, and Messrs. Ellison
and Haywood, of. Liverpool, writing on this subject,
speak the senthrients of many people in the trade
here when they- say :—" At the beginning of the
year it was thought that middling American would
fluctuate between 13d. and 15d. per lb., but at pre-
sent the prevalent opinion is that the extreme range
will be from 10d. to 12d. Our own impression is
that we may see 10d., but not less, and then only
for a fahort time. These remarks have - reference
merely to the proximate future. Later on in the
year the course of prices will be ruled by the cha-
the yield of the
rnaeer
next
American o f th e accounts c
co
ruonpt s. rPesrpeseeentitng estimates vary be-
tween 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 bales, and accord-
ing as the actual out-turn approaches or falls short
of the larger figure prices will fluctuate between 9d.
and 12d. per lb."
LEEDS, 7.th.—The demand for woollen cloths has
been rather restricted, and, in fact; there were fewer
buyers present than usual. Some of the Bradford
shippers were represented, but they did business
only on a very small scale. They pronounce the
continental trade to be very dull, irrespective of the
disadvantage of political complications. The object
of these shippers appeared to-day to be only buying
up any goods which 'night be offered extraordinarily
cheap. Their opportunities of doing business in thiA
way were only few. Samples of goods for next Kgt-
son's use have been in request for home trade pur-
poses, and merchants have bought beavers and •wit-
neys in various shades, but not to any great extent.
heavy goods in the undyed state have not been very
saleable. In coloured goods, claret and mixture mel-
tons found few purchasers ; also fancy coatings, and
some small parcels of plain goods were also trans-
ferred.

ROCHDALE, 6th. The market has been more buoy-
ant than was expected, seeing that at the eud of last
week there was great flatness in all departments.
Nearly the usual number of buyers went the rounds%
ineluding:representatives of some enterprising Scotch
houses, but the result was a very small average of
orders. The fancy trade is showing more signs of
animation, and among those present at market to-
day there were a good number who could be relied
upon to give orders before loiig in that department.
This the ►manufacturers are most anxious about, as,
whe►► orders at the beginningof a season are delayed
the whole course of future operations is generally
disarranged and inconvenient. Yorkshire goods do
not find more ready buyers, and prices are remark-
ably well maintained, considering that the wool-
market is rather in a softening state.
