MARKETS

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—Throughout the past week we have had a
continuance of that unfavourable tendency in prices which we
have had to report for a month back. In goods at large, and
in all yarns below GO's, the buyers have been able to get what
they may have wanted on rather lower terms than were practi-
cable previously. In the latter the decline may be stated at
id. per lb., and even 4d. in some articles. It is less in warps
than in bundles. The makers of the former are difficult to deal
with; for, being yet pretty well supplied with contracts, they
make the slightest further concession very reluctantly, and are
declining more offers than they accept. There is a sluggish-
ness in the departments of domestics, which causes the bias of
*prices to be still against the makers. For the various widths
of shirtings, and for madapollams, there are no offers that can
test prices. The absence of stocks prevents any pressure to
sell, but lower rates would certainly be accepted by the pro,
ducers; and the same remark applies to printing cloths,
though their position is, on the whole, a rather more favoura-
ble one. The influences affecting us have been mainly the
American accounts, which point to a crop of 2,900,000 bales;
and the India advices, reportin*a still adverse course in the
exchanges, most serious indeed at Calcutta, making, since its
commencement, a difference of fully 14 per cent. against re-
mitters.

ROCHDALE.—The flannel market continues in a languid
state, and a very limited amount of business has been trans-
acted, at former prices. The wool market is flat, with little
doing and prices firm.
LEEDS.—Since our last report some orders for the class of
goods known by the name of Spanish stripes have been re-
ceived, as also orders for other goods suitable for the India and
China markets; and generally the houses in the foreign trade
have done more business this week than last. But the state of
the woollen trade in the town and district, taken collectively,
remains rather fiat. Prices without alteration.

NOTTINGHAM.—SO long as cold weather continues, the
check lately felt both in the lace and hosiery trades will conti-
nue, especially with the additional drawback to business ope-
rations caused by the prospect of an early general election.
The curtain trade this year has not been satisfactory, though
increasing. With the exception of a small number of lace-
makers and glove hands out of work, employment continues
tolerably full, with a prospect of more work shortly, as the
home demand must increase as the summer advances, and we
have a good prospect for the American fall.
