MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

. MANCHESTER.—The ter.dency of opinion amongst spinners,
manufacturers, and most other classes connected with our
trade, being more markedly in favour of the maintenance of
the value of cotton than it was, notwithstanding the growing
probability that the crop may reach the highest estimates,—
there is not only a prevailing firmness in regard to the prices
of yarns and goods, but an endeavour slightly to improve upon
previous quotations, wherever the wants of buyers appear to
offer a chance of success. The fact is, that very many persons,
who but lately took a different view of the matter, are now dis-
posed to regard the fulfilment of the amplest estimates of the
cotton crop as not more than what will be required to keep
Prices moderate. Yet there is a want of animation, indeed a
general quietness, throughout our market. This is, in great
part, a consequence of the buyers and sellers being under
considerable mutual engagements, but partly also of the cau-
tion which circumstances impose upon bu)ers. The makers
of domestics are struggling for an additional 1-16 d. per yard;
the difficulty they experience, however, makes them extremely
backward to give the spinners what they require for warps and
weft. The Calcutta market is decidedly bad ; and, although
the transactions at Bombay have been large, with a slight ad-
vance in some articles, the prices are such as would leave no-
thing but loss upon present values in the Manchester market.
The German merchants are receiving from their correspon-
dents very unsatisfactory accounts of the Leipsic fair, and of
the general state of trade.

ROCHDALE.—We had rather more inquiry for goods, on
Monday, but still a very limited number of pieces were sold.
The merchants would have purchased more freely, if the ma-
nufacturers could have taken the reduced prices which were
offered. Wool continues firm, with very little doing.
LEEDS.—The public markets, both on Tuesday and Saturday
last, showed a little snore stir in the woollen-cloth trade than
we have lately had to notice. There is an improved demand
for the finer qualities of goods for the foreign market, and a
full average amount of goods have been sold during the week
to the home-trade buyers. There is no noticeable change in
prices.

MACCLESFIELD.—We have still to report an active demand
for silk manufactured goods suitable for the season, and in
some instances a small advance has been paid. The thrown-
silk market continues moderately active, influenced still by
purchases made on foreign account. The raw silk market is
extremely firm, and with stocks considerably diminished; the
importers are looking for a further advance at no distant
period.

NOTTINGHAM.—The hosiery business generally is in a
healthy condition, the drawer and shirt branches having be.
come participators in the improvement others had previously
received. The hands now worst off are the glove-makers, but
up to this time there has been no weather to warrant a change
of outdoor clothing, and until this takes place we do not see
much chance for improvement in the demand for these arti-
cles. The lace trade is still very far from being in as healthy a
condition as is usually the case at this time of the year. The
price of yarn is very firm, and an advance upon hosiery yarn
is speedily expected.
