The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
very quietly, but prices of all descriptions were fully
raaintained. The sales were estimated at 5,000
bales. The railway Share Market closed with a
rather brisk appearance at previous rates.
The accounts from mcot of the principal maufac-
111ring towns in the north of England show that
trade is still restricte:l through the dearness of the
raw material, the advance in the price of which has
emused a proportionate rise iu the value of cloth.BYers consequently act with caution, and during
le past week, business in Leeds, Manchester,
hid Bradford has been less active. For
/014(ii articles there is a fair demand for
~ 101 a and the Continent, but the inquiry for
'homeuse is rather limited. The lace trade of Nut-
'irighain is quiet, but manufacturers are acting
Prudently, and do not increase their stock at the
Present enhanced term,;. for silk and cotton. From
the iron districts of Birmingham the accounts are
satisfactory, the demand for America having
14roved. _
