21L4REETS FOR MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTEE

The sane dulness and entire absence of
Liimation continues to prevail, whilst prices are irregular.

thauesda

tenor of

in the newspapers, seemed to induce a greater inclination to
operate on the part of the India Louses, and yarns were in
slightly better demand, at rather higher rates; bat it did not
amount to anything like an animated inquiry. Since the
delivery of the letters, the improvement has continued. A
somewhat increased inquiry was also experiencFd for Yarns for
home use. Since Tuesday, this partial improvement has not
been fully maintained; and as the week closed there was a more
-decided return to a feeling of depression, occasioned, very
probably, by the increasing stringency of money, which
naturally leads to considerable circumspection being exer-
cised by commercial men, and the more especially as there

appears no immediate prospect of a permanent relief. Whilst
some descriptions of Yarns have had any downward tendency
for the moment arrested, the Cloth market has rema:ned un-
interruptedly dull, and the instances have been but few in
which slightly better terms might not be secured by buyers,
Printing cloths for the home trade, have been in better de.
mend, induced in part by the reduction in the quantity pro-
duced, consequent on the working of short time. With this
exception, there is no favourable change.

ROCHDALE.—The business transacted has been upon a
limited scale. In the wool market firm prices are obtained,

but the demand is limited

LEEDS.—There was quite as much business done at the
Cloth Halls on the two last market days as is usual so late in
the season, and a fair average quantity of goods have changed
hands out of the halls. Prices are without any material
alteration, and the manufacturers' stocks as low as usual at
this season, the mills, in consequence, are pretty well em-

ployed. Although business has been rather dull is the ware-
houses, it has been quite as good as usual so near the close of

the year,

BRADFORD.—WooIs: The holders in the country evince no
disposition to give way to meet the prices recently current
here, and the staplers are seeking prices which cannot be met
by the spinners. Bright-haired Wools more inquired after,
and rather higher prices obtained. In other descriptions of
Wool not much doing, spinners only buying for present use.
Noils and brokes more inquired for; prices without alters•
tion, and stocks low.--Yarns : The prices sought fOr wool

prevent any more machinery being put to work, and sbort
time working is very general. In some instances better

prices have been obtained for Yarns adapted for the Lanca-
shire market : upon the whole there is a befter feeling.
Pieces: There is very little doing for the continent, and
stocks of some descriptions of goods are accumulating,
though manufacturers, to prevent this, resort to stopping of
looms a few days at a time, in addition to working short
time. Coburgs and crapes more inquired after, but at very

low prices.
IIUDDERSFIELD.-A better feeling and more confidence
seems to have prevailed in this market, and a slight improve-
ment in the demand for manufactured goods has been expe-
rienced in consequence. Fancy Trouserings, of low and
middle qualities, and heavy broads have been among the
principal articles disposed of. Plush Waistcoatings, of good
qualities, meet with ready sale. There has been a fair trade
done in the wool warehouses.

NOTTINGHAM.7-The two staple trades of this town are in
a depressed state, but the Lace is more so than the Hosiery
business. A genial early spring, and- money a little easier
both in Europe and America, would have a tendency to bring
this town up to its wonted state of prosperity sooner than

anything else, except a good harvest, which, after all, is the
greatest blessing we can receive for the prosperity of commerce.
LEIOESTER.-With few exceptions trade continues very
slack, manufacturers proceeding with great caution.
