MARKETS FOR ,MANUFACTURES.

E ETE R.—The advices from America:this week indicate
a change in the position of the-cotton markets, sudecline having
taken place, consequent on less favourable aduices from this
side than-were anticipated. The effect on this market has been
that less animation has ensued. •On Tuesday, especially, con-
siderable dulness prevailed, and in the afternoon of that day,
in some instances, spinners, to- eTect sales, accepted rather
lower prices. Since then, however, seeing that the effect on
the Liverpool cotton market had not been so depressingas was
anticipated, spinners again demanded, previous prices, and it
is now hardly possible to obtain any. advantage. The opera-
tions of the,weak have been moderate, . particularly so at the
beginning, but rather more free since. The demand is not
confined to any particular quarter, but exists to about an
equally moderate , extent from Germany, the Mediterranean,
and other markets. There is but little doing for India; spin-
ners are, however,, working to order, and consequently great
firmness prevails. the cloth marketthere was also a;pause
at the beginning of the week, and although comparatively
little advance,of price has taken place compared with that in
cotton and yarns, there is an evident expectation, on the part
of buyers, that better terms would be theresult. Finding that
this was not likely to .be the case, and that the market was
firm, rather more business has since been transacted, although
quietness is still the characteristic of this department. There
has been but little .doing ,in India shirtings,,which are, ,how-
ever, very firm. Domestics still continue in 'better demand. '
and for some descriptions „of shirtings and printing cloths ss
demand has beenexperienced for the South American markets
,during the last two days.
RoctsDALE.—The demand for flannels continues good, and
,those manufacturers who were willing to take former prices
had no difficulty in selling their goods. On account of the
,rise in price of the raw material some of the manufacturers
held out for better prices,whieh;the merchants very reluctantly
.submitted to. There has been a better demand for wool, and
prices are very firm.
•Lanos.—We have to report a continuation of tolerable good
market for cloth both in the publicsales anu at the warehouses,
with azlight improvement in the prices of the better kinds.
All things considered, the woollen cloth trade is in as favour-
able a condition as can fairly be expected, excepting, perhaps,
that the manufacturers' are not realising more than bare remu-
neration for the capital and skill employe&
NcerrlNcknAm.—Complaints are still very great amongst
lace manufacturers of the state of their trade, which is said to
be rather worse than better, the principal falling off being in
the German tr...de. The depression felt in the Ince trade does
not extend to the _hosiery business, which continues very fair,
although perhaps less active than at the corresponding period
of last year ; the hands generally are tolerably well employed.
Yarn is held at firm prices, with an upward tendency, the
price of lace yarn is higher already, and another advance upon
this article is pretty certain to take place shortly.
LEICESTER.—The prices both of wools and cotton appearing
safe, has created a better demand, and there is snore activity
in the warehouses. The shipping orders for the season have
been but limited, and those for t merica are nearly executed.
Considerable contracts for the home trade are now manufac-
turing, entered into at the old price of yarn; the hosier pre-
ferring a sure small profit to letting his machinery lie idle.
Worsted spinnc-s are now requiring the full advance on yarns,
hence but little is doing. They are not pushing sales, feeling
confident of eventually making their price. The wet weather
retards the new clip, which generally turns out well. But
little is doing by the staplers. There is no noticeable alteration
in prices.
