MARKETS.
MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—A freer arrival of cotton at Liverpool since
Tuesday has somewhat modified the liveliness which prevailed
in the yarn market on that day; there is not, however, the
slightest relaxation of firmness amongst spinners. Speaking
generally, it is more difficult to buy yarns; indeed, some num-
bers and qualities are rather dearer, particularly some counts
of warps, 20's reeled water, and 30's, 40's, and 50's reeled mule,
with certain numbers of cops also. No individually heavy
transactions are taking place, or can take place, so remarkably
well engaged are the producers;—in various instances so much
so as to be quite out of the market; yet numerous compara-
tively small purchases have reached a considerable aggregate
amount. The foreign operations have been for Germany, the
Mediterranean, and the East. The home consumers are also
in the market, very much restrained, however, in the lower
counts, by the narrowed magin left betwixt the market price
of yarn and that of cloth,through the stationary position of the
latter whilst the former has been advancing. The general cha-
racteristic of the goods market is a steady quietness. Towards
the close of last week there was rather more inquiry, and, in
Indian fabrics, more business on somewhat better terms than
were obtainable a week previously. Some sellers of domestics
say they find a slight increase of inquiry; and certainly the
home houses are mostly without stock, so much so that, in
general, what they purchase is required to be delivered im-
mediately.

LEEDS.—If any change at all can be noted this week in the
woollen cloth trade here, it is one of a slightly improved cha.
racter, but is so very slight that we can scarcely distinguish it.
There is, however, a moderate amount of business going at late
prices, and that for both the home and the foreign markets.
ROCHDALE.—We have had an extremely dull market in
pieces, and a thin attendance of buyers, with little or no change
in prices. In the wool market there is no change to report,
either in price or amount of business transacted.

MACCLESFIELD.—The demand for goods noticed in our last
has been fully maintained, and an increased business done. It
is expected that better prices will now be obtained,, as stocks
are mostly cleared off.

NOTTINGHAM.—There is no improvement to speak of in the
state of either the lace or hosiery trades. each renitilln;nff
in the same condition they have been reported for some weeks
past. The generality of the hosiery business is tolerably heal-
thy, while that of the lace trade is languid.
