HORTICULTURE.

STOVE, GREENHOUSE, AND CONSERVATORY.—The
evident approach of spring has begun to stimulate vegeta-
tion in every department, especially amongst the plants
under glass. Every plant requiring repotting should have
this necessary operation attended to immediately. In the
Greenhouse the Pelargoniums will require frequently
turning and keeping near the glass, to prevent their being
drawn out of shape, and to give them a short strong
growth. Fuchsias may have a little bottom heat to start
them ; and if handsome plants are desired, new ones
should be formed from the young shoots as soon as they
are large enough for cuttings; they should be struck in
bottom heat, and kept growing till they have made a good
size—taking care to regulate their growth by pinching off
all ill-formed shoots, and preventing them from flowering.
In the Flower and Kitchen Gardens the utmost activity
is necessary in preparing the ground. Early potatoes
may be got in, peas and beans sown, roses pruned, and a
variety of operations got through with.

The odds at which Orestes and Ethelbert were backed tallied
with the latest odds from Doncaster, where both were in great
force, the outlay on the latter, after his race on Wednesday,
amounting to nearly X 2,000. Honeyw•ood's market laying
price was 20 to I ; but as much as 25 to 1 was betted to a pony,
Just before the close of the room—most of the subscribers, it

MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY

King of Trumps was in good odour for the Northampton
Stakes ; and, for the Chester Cup, Nancy was supported at 40
to 1 as long as it could be obtained ; 1,000 to 50 was taken about
Lady Evelyn, and wanted ; Trifle was backed freely at one time
at 100 to 6, which price was offered at the close ; and 30 to 1
each was taken freely about The Black Doctor and St. Michael.
Honeywood was friendless for the Derby ; 25 to 1 was taken
freely about Ninnyhammer, and 100 to 8 Orestes, the latter in
great demand. The following are the closing prices:—

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—A dull market again this week, with greater
irregularity, and a more decided decline in prices. The im-
proved feeling noticed at the close of last week was but of short
duration ; and this week there was, from the first, a want of
inclination on the part of buyers to continue operations, which,
on the arrival of later accounts from America—indicative of
continued large and excessive receipts and lower prices—caused
increased dulness, with a total cessation of purchases, excepting
at reduced rates, both for Cloth and Yarn. On Tuesday, the
market was exceedingly inanimate, and there has continued to
be but very little business since, with considerable irregularity,
as regards prices. Yarns of all kinds, with the exception of
the finer numbers of mule, are decidedly lower this week, and
offers, which would have been considered too low last week,
would now be considered good prices, a still further reduction
being now submitted to. The demand for India Yarns has
been very dull, the reduced prices not tempting operations;
and the same may be said of Yarns for Germany, the Mediter-
ranean, and the home trade, the buyer having the advantage in
each case. In Goods the decline is also general, but Printing
Cloths are less afrected than other descriptions; nevertheless,
the demand is smaller, and prices are in favour of the buyer.
MACCLESFIELD.—Since our last report, there has been a fair
inquiry for those descriptions of silk manufactured goods which
are suitable for the spring trade, and prices are a little better.

LEEDS.—The Woollen Cloth trade continues brisk. A large
portion of the manufacturers are engaged on orders, and ready
sale is found for most kinds of cloth brought to market. The
demand is equally good for the foreign as for the home market.
. _

BRADFORD.—For Piece Goods there is an improved tone,
and there are large orders in the hands of manufacturers for
goods suitable for the United States. Wools are held firmly
at late prices, and Yarns sell higher than they did a week ago.
iiUDDERSFIELD.—bIoat of the manufacturers are extremely
busy, and will not take an order to complete under three or
four months. In Wools a good trade has been done, mostly at
a little advance in price.

NOTTINGHAM.—The Lace and Hosiery trades remain much
in the same condition recently reported. The last orders for
our North American colonies are nearly completed, while the
spring trade for home consumption seems to be on the increase.
An attempt is making to advance the price of Yarn, but we do
not think it will succeed.
