MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTEL—Our market exhibits an increase of that
cautious spirit to which we referred in our last report, and
which imposes an evident restriction upon transactions, and
renders the tone of business somewhat less cheerful. In the
department of yarns, it is found that the falling off in the de-
mand for China has caused a slight decline in the value of 16's
to 24's water twist; No. 30's, which had not been influenced
by that demand, remaining still firm. In such qualities of
mule twist as are usually exported to India, there is some
business going on, partly for the continent of Europe. Those
counts of warps from which domestics are made (affected by
the continued dulness of these cloths) are hardly saleable at
the rates of a week back. Those numbers of cop twist and
pincops that enter into printing cloths, shirtings, and the lower
descriptions of jacconets, though less easily sold, are, however,
sustained in value by the degree in which these goods are pre-
engaged. As regards the department of cloth, the classes last
named are quite steady in price; printing cloths, indeed, are
particularly firm. Domestics are not actually lower; but the
continued absence of demand is producing an accumulation
of stock in the hands of manufacturers. The dealers, how-
ever, who are without any hut the barest supplies, find a some-
what better demand for these articles. The India merchants
have done rather more in goods the last day or two.
ROCHDALE.—At the first, or new market, which was tolera-
bly well attended, a fair amount of business was done, consi-
dering the time of the year. The manufacturers are asking
more for their goods, while the merchants are very reluctant
to pay an advance. It appears goods are wanted, as some of
the large manufacturers have been in the market, and pur-
chased freely to supply their own orders. The wool market is
firm and steady, with a fair amount of business doing.
LEEDS.—Both merchants and manufacturers are actively
engaged, and a good spring trade appears almost certain
Prices are firm. The reports from Australia respecting the
late season's clip of wool in that colony, are, all things consi-
dered, of a cheering character. There appears to be no doubt
that our manufacturers will continue to receive good supplies
of wool from that distant part of the British possessions; but
the cost of the late clip is likely to be enhanced a good deal
above that of the previous season.

NOTTINGHAM.—riIe lace trade, with few exceptions, is yet
to some extent depressed, especially in the fancy departments.
Our yarn maintains its price, and some think it will be yet
higher in price. The hosiery trade continues its wonted state
of prosperity, without the remotest chance of a change for the
worse for many months to come. The price of hosiery yarn
is unaltered.
