MANCHESTER, Nov. 10.
The market continues inactive. Spinners are
free sellers, but have great difficulty in finding cus-
tomers, no reasonable concession in price being
sufficient to induce business. The same descrip-
tion of the market applies to cloths, but in all
branches of trade business is in some measure
checked by the caution necessary to determine to
whom credit can be safely extended. Only one
failure, and that not worth naming, has been men-
tioned this morning, and the losses sustained here
by the large failures recently announced in London,
Glasgow, and elsewhere are mostly by houses, it is
reps,rted, to whom they will occasion little more
than temporary inconvenience. The curtailment of
production by a resort to short time is spoken of
as extending in all directions, and the long period
of full work the operatives have had will enable
them better to bear it than in some past times. It
is only when mills are closed altogether that any-
thing like considerable suffering is felt. Cases of
thiskind, unfortunately, are very numerous, though
bearing but a small proportion to those in which
short time has been adopted
A proposition made at Glasgow that a deputation
should go to London to induce a suspension of cash
payments by the bank met with no countenance
hero from either of the commercial chambers, and

LEEDS, Nov. 10.
No improvement is noted in the cloth-halls this
morning. A very limited amount of business has
been done. There is a disposition on all sides to
contract operations until the present moneary and
commercial crisis is passed.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 10.
The market remains in the same quiet state as
last week. Great caution is displayed by pur-
chasers, and little is changing bands, either in the
plain or fancy trade. At the same time prices do
not decline seriously, and hopes of better markets
at an early period are sanguinely entertained..
Wools manifest a tendency to decline, especially
Scotch wools.
