MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER—An unvarying state of dulness and
inaction has characterised the market throughout the
whole of the week, and prices are further unfavourably
affected, and more generally reduced. The stringency of
the money market, which is a material ingredient of the
present inaction, has not been so excessive this week, but
buyers are not the less cautious, and orders are allowed
to remain on their books unexecuted, it being deemed
preferable to defer their execution, both on account of the
monetary difficulties of the present period, and from an
expectation of still lower prices.
LEEDS.—The markets this week were very dull at the
cloth halls, and the transaction 4 out of the market have
been of the same character. Prices are without any
alteration, except pilot cloths, Whitneys, &c., the stocks
of which are accumulating. We have had quite as many
buyers in the town as usual at this season, but they pur-
chase to so limited an extent that the transactions of the
week may be quoted at below an average.

BRADFORD.--Wool: There is the same dulness as for
some weeks past, and any sales that are made are in favour
of the buyer. Noils and brokes are not plentiful, so few
being made that they command full prices.—Yarns : The
buyers for shipping are doing very little. For the home
market there is no improvement, and the prices ruinous
to the spinner.—Pieces : There is not much doing in piece
goods, and the sales now effected are such as will not near
cover cost price.

NOTTINGHAM. Owing to the tightness of the
money market the hosiery and lace trades are more
depressed, but each may be a little improved shortly, as
the Americans, who have nothing to do with the war,
must supply their wants, and the consumption in this
country must continue, although it may be in some sort
diminished. The price of yarn, as of other things, is
unsteady.
LEICESTER.—There is no disposition to buy any goods
except for immediate supply. Little doing in wools; the
farmers are not pushing sales, and all are waiting to see
the effect war will have on prices.
