MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The market has continued to main-
tain an exceedingly dull and inanimate position all week,
even more so than was the case last week. Prices are
unsteady, but still there is no decidedly downward move-
ment; most descriptions of goods and yarns may, however,
be obtained on somewhat easier terms. As regards yarn,
the inquiry for India has been more limited. The German
and Continental houses have been very quiet, whilst the
purchases of yarn for home manufacture have been merely
to such an extent as to supply immediate requirements.l
The steadiness of the Liverpool cotton market has assisted
to maintain, in some degree, the value of yarns. Goods
are exceedingly dull, and prices lower.
HUDDERSFIELD.—Business is generally considered
quieter than usual at this season, but that is accounted
for by the unsettled state of our relations with Russia,
and the high price of provisions at home.
LEEDS.—The cloth halls have been dull, and in heavy
goods the stocks are much on the increase and difficult to
effect sales; prices are without material alteration, and
the mills continue tolerably well employed. Business has
also been dull in the warehouses in the home trade, but
there continues to be a considerable amount of business
doing for the Canadian markets, and some little improve-
ment for India and China-

BRADFORD.—WooI : There is no improvement in the
demand for combing wools, as the spinners are more than
ordinary cautious, their avocation being so thoroughly
profitless. Full-bred and deep-grown wools, as well as
the finer sorts, are very dull sale, at prices in favour of
the buyer. Noils and brakes are scarce, and large
quantities of second-rate combing are now used in sub-
stitution for clotbigs, purposes.—Yarns : The unsettled
position of the poll MlWorld has comparatively suspended
the operations of the' shippers, and the supply on spools
for home consumption is not by any means augmented,
although the period is drawing near when snore activity
may be looked for.—Pieces : There have been some sales
of goods suitable for the United States, and it is not im-
probable, ere long, that we may see some considerable
improvement, as goods are offering on terms to induce
extended operations.
NOTTINGHAM.—The visits of buyers for hosiery and
lace are less frequent, and their purchases smaller, than
they are wont to be at this season. There is not the
' accustomed quantity of business doing with Germany, and
the home trade is still depressed. The price of lace yarn
is a little lower, and the turn is again a trifle in favour of
consumms of hosiery yarn.

LEICESTER.---At present " a good trade " is more
the "coming event " than the actual state of business in
This town. The change since last report is so trifling as
to be scarcely noticeable.
