MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES,

MANCHESTER.—Our market has again been unfavourably
influenced by the American advises received on Monday and
also on Thursday, which show a large increase of receipts at
. . . .

the ports—say 105,794 bales in the last week, against 47,001 in
. _

- -
in the corresponding week of 1851—with a more general and
decided testimony to raise the estimates of the crop to 2,800,000
or 2,850,000. The buyers of yarns and goods have been induced
to hold more markedly aloof from business, and to offer still
lower prices for whatever they may be disposed to take. In
the former, from 50's downward, whether mule or water, bun
dies warps or cops, they succeed in obtaining some further
concession (say lid. per lb.), not generally, perhaps, from such
as are well situated in regard to contracts, but from one or
another whose contracts are running out ; and the number of
these with whom this is the case is now becoming considerable,
after a slackened business of three or four weeks. During
this period of diminished activity, yarns have yielded ad. per
lb. on the average of reeled water (in some cases id.), in warps
id. to id., in mule id., and some kinds rather more. From
this statement, we must except the counts from 60's Upwards,
the spinners of which, having their hands full of orders from
the home manufacturers, are exceedingly hard to deal with.
In the course of the past week, some sales of fair amount,
principally in water twist, have been effected by meeting the
buyers, mostly China houses ; the aggregate business has,
however, been comparatively inconsiderable, and there is an
increasing irregularity in the market. Goods are affected in
the same way as yarns. A diminished disposition to operate
has been very marked ; and the tendency of prices has been
against the manufacturers in the various widths of shirtings,
and the different descriptions of domestics. Printing cloths
are, however, rendered steady by a moderate demand, and
light 'l' cloths fairly so. The India accounts report a further
improvement in the demand for piece goods at Bombay; but
transactions were restricted by the non-arrival of fresh sup-
plies; and, though some articles were a shade higher, prices
remained generally as low as before, whilst the rate of exchange
had suffered some further decline. In yarns there was no
giving way, bnt there was less doing in them. The Calcutta
market was flat in goods. The demand for gray shirtings had
fallen off, with a decline of one to two annas in the lower reeds.
On the whole, however, there is little change in prices. The
rate of exchange has, however, undergone a further fall of 4 per
cent., making fally 14 per cent. since the setting in of this
course; that is, a difference of Is. per piece and upwards
against sellers. The sales of mule twist were of fair amount,
at well sustained prices, with a healthy market—No. 60's and
and 70's a trifle higher.

ROCHDALE.—The flannel market is much the same as it has
been for some weeks past; the merchants show no disposition
to purchase at the present time; and without a change, either
goods will accumulate or short time must be adopted. There
is no change in wool since the last week.

LEEDS.—On Saturday there was a fair amount of business
done in the Cloth Hall, but the market on Tuesday was very
flat. Some few orders have been given out by houses in the
foreign trade, and the manufacturers are looking forward to
some speedy improvement in the demand, although nearly all
entertain a belief that the trade is not likely soon to be brisk.

NOTTINGHAM.—The two principal trades of this town an
neighbourhood, viz„ lace and hosiery, are in no manner im.
proved since our last few weeks' reports; there are some arti
cies in each business which meet with a better demand that
others, but the exceptions are so trifling as to be scarce],
worth noticing. The Germans have been doing a little more
but their purchases this year to the present time fall short o
their usual quantities to a considerable extent. The falling of
in demand for hosiery goods generally, and especially in that
for wrought silk gloves, is singular at this season. The cold.
ness of the weather, and the time of Easter being rather late.
may be, and doubtless are causes operating gainst us just
now in each business. The price of yarns is unchanged.

LIVERPOOL GENERAL PRODUCE
MARKET.
FRIDAY, APRIL 2.
The market for all descriptions of Sugar has continued dull,
and former prices are with difficulty sustained for grocery
descriptions ; the sales comprise 900 hhds. 8.P., principally to
the refiners, 3000 bags Bengal, and 2200 bags Madras ; the
latter from 255. to 255. 9d. per cwt. A fair demand for foreign
has prevailed, both for export and bond refining ; 1000 boxes
an oldi mport, have been sold at 17s. 9d.,
r .ry. MT.,.6i11a at Ms., and 4100 bags brown Pernams
:-.2-jiir:pwt.-There have not been any mportant
sales of Molasses this- week.-Coffee : The business of the week
is confined to 90 tcs. Jamaica at 40s. to 83s. (about half for
export), and 20 les. Plantation Ceylon at 50s. per cwt.-170
bags Trinidad Cocoa brought 375., also a trifling parcel of
Para 245. ; 30 brls. Jamaica Ginger obtained 455. to 60s. per

Pepper.-50 tcs. Carolina Rice have been sold at 17s. 9d., and
4000 bags Bengal from 9s. Gd. to Ils. 6d. per cwt. for good
broken to good white.-Rum is less easy to sell, and the sales,
which consist of about 100 puns., have been on terms rather in
favour of the buyer.-Tea : Business to a moderate extent has
been transacted during the past week, at easier rates for black-
ish leaf Hollow, and brisk Sinchune Congous. Finest Monings,
free from tar, scarce and wanted. Twankays in aemand ; no
weight offering. Publie sales yesterday went off without spirit ;
little sold but damages. Seeds : At the public sales of Clover-
seed yesterday no business of moment was transacted ; subse-
quently a few small lots of American Red have changed hands
at 495. for fair to 555. per cwt., duty paid, for fine quality.
Prices generally are again lower this week, and still tending
downwards.-The Tallow market is without material change;
Petersburgh Y.C. is rather lower, sales having been made at
365. 3d. to 365. 9d. ; a few casks Taganrog sold at 365., 100
casks Petersburgh Soap at 355. to 355. 3d., and about 300 pipes
South American at 335. 6d. to 355. 9d. per cwt.-Lard is dull of
sale ; only 15 tons Neapolitan are reported, at 455. to 455. 6d.
per cwt.-Nothing doing in Baltic Hemp.-Jute has gone off
with considerable spirit this week, and 2400 bales, including
1150 by auction to-day, have been taken at es 17s. 6d. for low,
to .el 3 17s. 6d. per ton for fine.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, APRIL 2,

The anticipated import keeps buyers from operating, except
for their immediate wants ; and although the very large amount
now at sea has a depressing influence upon holders, the very
reduced quantity on sale still enables them to realise at a de-
cline of barely id. per lb. upon last Friday's quotations, this
reduction being more perceptible upon Upland and the com-
mon qualities of American. Brazil of all descriptions is held
for previous rates, but Egyptian, of recent input t, has been
much pressed for sale. at a reduction of id. to ld. per lb. upon
the better qualities, which for some time past had been very
scarce. Surat was in good request early in the week at full
prices, but the demand has since becomelimited, and it hardly
supports previous quotations. Speculators have taken 2120
American and 50 Bahia, and there are reported for export 3350
American and 380 Surat.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,
_ FRIDAY, APRIL 2.

With as favourable season as we ever remember for all the
purposes of husbandry, and the temperature, though inclined
to frost at nights, being genial in the day, seed time continues
to progress very actively in all directions, with every prospect
of an early and successful result. Thus, although in the agrik
cultural districts of the kingdom there appears to be much
less pressure of supplies from the growers than of late, and
importations from abroad into British ports generally are at
present by no means oppressive, yet buyers whether they may
prove correct or not, seem to calculate upon increasing arrivals
at no distant period ; and still acting in their proceedings with
a marked degree of indifference, which serves to depress the
trade, prices of most leading articles in nearly all the markets
of the country this week are again reported on the decline.
With the exception of a fair quantity of Oats, the receipts into
this port coastwise and from Ireland since Monday last are
comparatively light; of foreign Wheat, however, chiefly from
Egypt, and partly from the United States and Europe, as well
as of Egyptian Beans, the import is liberal, but of other pro
duce, including Flour, only moderate. During the interval
since Tuesday several parcels cf American Flour changed
bands at nearly Tuesday's rates ; two or three cargoes of Indian
Corn were also disposed of floating, but on rather lower terms,
the trade relative to other articles remaining quiet. At our
Corn Exchange this morning the transactions in Wheat were
upon a moderate scale, and principally in foreign ; the general
qualities of red, partly for Irish account, maintaining our last
quotations, the best samples of white for country consumption
receding id. per 'Nibs. In English the trade remained steady,
but rather inactive. American Flour continued to meet some
inquiry, but was not readily saleable, even by conceding a
slight abatement from the currency annexed, whilst French
and Irish must be noted dull and the turn cheaper. Barley
and Malt were in slow request and barely supported former
prices. Owing to increased arrivals, Egyptian Beans were
more difficult of sale at a decline of, 6d. per qr., and other
kinds, as well as Pease, scarcely sustained their previous value.
Oats and Oatmeal moved sparingly to consumers only on the
terms last noted. Indian Corn, of which little remains here,
appeared to meet less notice to-day ; floating cargoes, how-
ever, where a moderate concession is made, find occasional
buyers. We annex Tuesday's quotations :
