MARKETS 70.1? MANUFACTU.RES.

MANCHESTER•—The market has been much quieter this
week, which is attributable to the gradually-advancing value
of money, and the prospect that the continued diminution of
bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England, combined with
the increased demand for discount, will lead that corporation
to advance further their rates for discounts. Nor are the
India and China accounts of a charaeter to encourage much
business for the East. Notwithstanding the general quietness
that has prevailed, there is very little giving way in price, on
the contrary, for some things, more money is asked. Most
producers are working to order, and manufacturers can, in
very few instances, afford to accept any reduction in the face
of the present high value of Yarns, and the increased and in-
creasing value of labour. Yarns for home use continue in
good demand. Export Yarns have not been freely taken,
either by the India houses, or for the Continent. The goods
market has been quiet, though prices have been fully sus-
tained,—though 40 in. shirtings still continue dull,—there is
but little concession, they being already anything but remu-
nerative, and the probability is that manufacturers will go on
to other descriptions.
ROCHDALE.—There has been a good demand for low-priced
Flannels; but those of a finer quality have not been much in
request. In the Wool market there is little change, and the
manufacturers continue to buy very sparingly. There is a
good demand for English Wools,varying from 14d to 16d per lb.
LEEns.—The markets at the Cloth-halls have been brisk,
and there continues to be an active business doing to direct
orders, and in sales by commission hands; the stocks also
being unprecedentedly low at this season of the year, the
mills, in consequence, continue to be fully employed, and
prices remain firm. A full average quantity of business has
been done by the home trade houses, and the prospects are
considered encouraging for the winter trade.
HUDDERSFIELD.—We have no material change to report in
our market ; the demand keeps up for seasonable goods.
Manufacturers, generally, are fully engaged working to order.

13nAnposn.:=Yarns : There is a fair deßand for Yarns,
but the prices are too low to meet the price demanded for
wool; and if the raw material cannot he had upon better
terms. either Yarns. must rise, or the production be lessened.
Rieces : There is.a,tolerably active demand, and in th;_ware-
houses, for finished goods, an averagebusiness doing. Wools :
There is no 'MCI-QUO disposition to buy Eugli*.WOQl, and
