MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—With increased dulness there has,
this week, been a more decided weakness in prices than
we have hitherto had to record. No concessions would ap-
pear sufficiently tempting to induce operations, which
have throughout the week, been of the most limited
character. ' Money is extremely scarce, and the result of
this stringency is, that buyers are exceedingly cautious
not to extend their indebtedness too much • and this is a
principal cause of their present inaction. Producers find-
ing themselves in the position of working for stock in-
stead of to supply a demand, begin seriously to consider
the propriety of decreasing the extent of their productive
power, by a recourse to the working of short time. This
feeling is more apparent amongst manufacturers than
spinners, the demand having been more limited, and prices
comparatively worse with the former for some time ; never-
theless, the absence of any free demand for home manu-
facture is begining to tell upon the spinners also. It is a
difficult matter to say whether the yarns or goods have
been the dullest. Prices for both are lower and very
.
irregular.

BRADFORD.—WooI : Inactivity still prevails, and
prices are almost nominal. Noils and brokes continue in
request. —Yarns : The state of political affiairs causes the
shippers to suspend their operations, and the demand for
spools continues languid. Pieces.—The stocks held by the
merchants are generally light, and, should the demand
improve as the season advances, we may hope for more ex-
tended operations.

LEEDS.—We have no change to report in the state of
the market. There has been about the usual amount of
business done in both cloth halls.

NOTTINGHAM.—There is no improvement in either
the hosiery or lace trades. The decreased amount of
export will account for much of the present depression, as
merchants seem unwilling to send out anything on con-
signment, and confine themselves to business alone for
which they have positive orders. The prices of yarn is
again the turn in favour of the purchaser.
