MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The dulness which characterised Tuesday's
market was not relieved in any sensible degree as the week
advanced. Yet there was an increase of business as compared
with the previous week ; and prices appeared to acquire some
degree of steadiness at a smaller decline than the late sudden
and striking reaction of feeling would have led us to expect ;
say id. per lb. in most yarns ; id. to id. in cop twist and weft
from 30's to 50's, and about the same in warps. In general,
however, the buying has been in small quantities to keep up
assortments. But the advices from China, which report a
considerable amount of speculation in yarns, have led to opera-
tions of fair extent in water twist, thereby contributing to
snstain the value of that article, and some purchases have also
been made by the Mediterranean merchants. The India houses
find no inducement, in their accounts, to add to the immense
quantities of cloth and twist bought by them in October. In
fact, the general body of buyers, in their uncertainty as to what
course prices may take, are deferring the execution of such
orders as would otherwise be given out. They look to the raw
material ; and, seeing that its value on the other side of the
Atlantic would evidently give way in anticipation of another
crop of 3,000,000 bales, but for an influence from England
which will soon cease to operate, their confidence shows no
sign of regaining that point which it had attained before the
end of last month. Goods have been less affected than yarns.
In general, there is no noticeable change in the quotations for
printing cloths, domestics, and T cloths, though they are not
maintained with so firm a hand as they were three weeks ago.
The most obvious appearance of weakness is in 40-inch shirt-
ings ; yet but little giving way is admitted to have taken place
in them.

ROCHDALE.—The flannel market was less active on Monday,
and a more limited amount of business transacted than has
been for some weeks past. The wool market continues steady,
and prices firm.
LEEDS.—There has been an average amount of business
done in the Cloth-hall. Prices rule firmly at those lately pre-
valent, and stocks in the hands of clothiers are very low, time
amount of cloth in the Halls being much less than at the like
period for many years past.
NOTTINGHAM.—Many branches of the lace trade are in a
somewhat depressed state, as doubtless they will continue until
about the beginning of the new year. Machine owners complain
of want of profit upon what they are producing, which arises
partly from the present high price of yarn, as well as from the
great competition. The hosiery trade is still brisk, with the
prospect of its continuance for a lengths of time ; stocks being
very light, and orders in advance being yet given out.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19.

The dulness which pervaded the market during the last
fortnight has continued without intermission throughout the
present week, and the trade have again confined their purchases
to their immediate requirements. Prices of American and
Surat are in most instances d. per lb. lower ; Brazil and

Egyptian are heavy of sale, but without material change. Spe-
culators have taken 5070 American, 90 Egyptian, and 430 Surat,
and there are reported for export, 300 American, 20 Perham,
and 2490 Surat. The business of to-day is 5000 bales, without
change

LIVERPOOL GENERAL PRODUCE
MARKET,
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 19.

The demand in Sugar during the past week has only been to
a moderate extent, but prices have been steadily supported,
les being confined to 300 blids. 8.P., and 2500 bags of
6d. to 418. 6d. for mid to very fine white.

The demand continues good for Foreign, and the sales amount
to 140 cases brown Bahia, at 17s. 3d., 2500 bags brown and
yellow Pernambuco and Paraibo, at from 178. to ISs. 6d.,

including 1000 bags of the former, of the new crop to arrive,
at 18s. per cwt. in bond, and 20 hhds. Surinam,, at 335. duty
paid.—The only sale reported in Molasses is 120 puns, and tcs.
clayed Cuba, at 13s. 9d. per cwt.—The business in Coffee is

confined to a small lot of Bahia, at 41s. 911. per cwt.-2000 bags
Bengal Rice have been disposed of, from 12s. 6d. to 13s. 6d. for
mid to fine white, with small parcels of pinky Madras from
10s. fid. to 10s. 9d., being an advance of 6d. per cwt. ; 4000 bags
Arracan have also been sold at 9s. 9d.—The scarcity of low
descriptions of Rum has further enhanced the value, and 200
puns Antigua have been sold at ls. Sd. per gallon proof, in
addition to which 50 puns Demerara have been sold at rather
stiffer prices.—Sales this week in Tea have only been to a
limited extent ; the market is badly supplied with the kinds
suitable to the wants of the trade, which checks operations ;
prices for all descriptions remain very firm.—The Tallow market
steady at the recent advance ; Y.C. brings 465. to 4fis. 6d., and
Taganrog 455. ; 250 casks Petersburg Y.C. to arrive, sold at
455. 6d. to 455. 9d. per cwt.—The Jute market continues very
firm ; 300 bales are reported at £l3 to £l4 per ton, being full
prices.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19.

Although, on account of the funeral of the Duke of Welling-
ton, only one day of business has intervened since Tuesday's
market, a very active demand, resulting in further considerable
sales of Wheat and Flour in granary at improving rates, leas
taken place here, and at the same time many floating cargoes
of Wheat have changed hands. This morning's market was
tolerably well attended, and a fair extent of business was trans.
acted in Foreign Wheat, at an advance of ld. to 2d. per bushel
on good useful qualities of red, white parcels remaining with-
out any decided improvement in value; our local millers pur-
chased sparingly, but a good deal was taken for Ireland, and
several parcels for resale. Flour must again be noted 6d. to
9d. per barrel higher, but the sales not extensive to-day. Barley
in fair demand, and rather dearer. Egyptian Beaus brought
an advance of 6d. to 9d. per qr. Oats and Oatmeal steady in
demand, and each the turn higher in value. Indian Corn firmly
held ; floating cargoes in narrow compass at the moment, and
the business necessarily circumscribed in consequence.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET,

MONDAY. Nov. 22

We had a rather active demand to-day. The supply on hand
was inadequate considering the season of the year. Still prices
were well sustained; and, at the close of the business, a very
steady feeling prevailed in the trade. The quotations may
thus be noted :—Beef, 4d. to ad., sinking the offal; Mutton,
sd. to 6d.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 19

The transactions in Beef this week have been limited ; prices,
however, continue firm for American, the stock being much
reduced. Pork is very firm, and there is an increased disposi-
tion on the part of the doalers to purchase for forward delivery.
In Bacon there is no new feature ; new American is inquired
for. Lard dull, at a reduction of is., but there is now less
disposition to press sales.

IRISH PROVISION
MONDAY, Nov. 22.

MARKET,

The demand for Butter last week was limited for consump-
tion; but speculators having taken about 3500 firkins of good
middling qualities at 745. to 785., has caused a somewhat firmer
feeling in the trade. To-day there is not much doing, but
holders are stiff at the quotations: Belfast, 78s. to 80s. ; fine
Waterford, 805. to 825.; Clonmel and Wexford, 795. to 81s.;
Banbridge and Coleraine, 775. to 795. ; Limerick, 745. to 765. ;
Sligo, 745. to 78s. ; and pickled Cork, seconds, 695. to 70s. per
cwt., landed.—lmported from Ireland, from the 15th to the
20th inst., both inclusive :-14,380 firkins, 91 kegs, 461 crocks,
356 boxes, 229 brls. Butter; 197 bls. Bacon; 6 hhds. 4 tces.
