MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCIIESTER.—The market has again been quiet this week,
with a tendency to lower prices. There was a decided pause
in operations at the begin Ling of the week, but since then
rather more disposition has been evinced to give out orders,
induced in part by the reduced prices accepted by producers
and partly by an appearance of greater steadiness in the Liver-
pool cotton market. The demand for India Yarns has again
improved, but prices have become very irregular, and it is only
at the full reduction that orders can be obtained. Printing
Cloths still maintain a fuller value than other descriptions,
and purchases are made at rather easier prices. The decline
in most other goods is greater, with more dullness. A long
continued unremunerative trade (says the Manchester Guar-
dian) has at length brought the makers of domestics, in this
town, to agree upon a measure which seems the only one cal-
culated to afford them relief, by diminishing the pressure of
stocks upon the market. The meeting took place on Friday,
and was attended by manufacturers employing more than
6,000 power looms, who unanimously adopted a resolution,
pledging themselves, after giving a week's notice to their
hands, to restrict the time of working to four days per week,
in the first instance, from the 14th of this month to the 14th of
April ; a week before which date, they are again to meet, in
order to determine upon their future course.

SIACCLESFI ELD.—We have a smaller amount to note the last
week in the sales of silk manufactured goods, owing, no doubt,
to the severity of the weather; but preparation is being actively
made for the spring trade, and the prospects for the future are
considered good.
LEEDS.—Off the markets there has been a good deal of busi-
ness in woollen cloths of all seasonable kinds this week, and
prices have increased a little for most kinds. The stocks in the
Cloth Halls are much below an average, the great bulk of the
manufacturers and country clothiers are well employed, and
the general aspect of the trade is of a cheerful character.
BRA DFORD.—i he demand for Piece Goods has been mode-
rately active during the week, and Pieces are rather higher.
The same may be said as to Yarns. As to Wools, there has not
been much done here during the week: there is no alteration
in price.

NOTTINGHAM.—The Lace trade is not by any means in so
brisk a state as we anticipated it would be this month, yet there
is time for considerable improvement to develope itself, espe-
cially in the fancy department, as an improved style of design
is constantly being produced. Although orders for Hosiery
Goods are not quite so numerous as they have been, there con-
tinues to be a fair amount of business doing.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,

FRIDAY, MARCH 4,

At to-day's market, foreign Wheats met a better inquiry, and
a tolerable business was done with our local and country
millers, in addition to some demand for Ireland, in which the
currencies of our last were steadily maintained; the trans-
actions were entirely for consumption, and the trade closed
firm. The weather being now exceedingly fine, and spring
culture progressing favourably, we had a small show of farmers'
Wheat to-day, and a fair demand for good samples, which were
cleared at the full rates of Tuesday. Flour was easier to pur-
chase, a good many parcels of American being offered from the
quay, of which a fair quantity found buyers; sack Flour was
neglected, and 6d. to Is. lower. In Barley, Malt, and Pease
no perceptible change either in value or demand. Egyptian
Beans, being in short supply, firmly supported late prices.
Oats and Oatmeal dull, the latter 6d. per load cheaper. Indian
Corn on the spot is little inquired after, but held at the same
prices as before.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,

FRIDAY. MARCH 4.

The arrivals of Beef are extensive, buyers in consequence
have held back, expecting to see prices recede, hence the trans-
actions of the week are•only to a limited extent: for fine quali-
ties we do net alter our quotations; but middling sorts may be
bought at a reduction of Zs, to ss. per tierce. Pork sells mode-
rately, at former rates ; the stock is light, and the supplies
expected from Ireland and France not large, but should prices
in America continue to recede, a further advance here will be
checked. Bacon is in moderate request, at the quotations.
The market for Lard is in a. most distressed state; we reduce
our quotations 25. to 3s. per cwt., but these reduced figures are
only nominal, as buyers will not yet come forward. There has
been an active demand for Cheese, chiefly from London and the
soath.

MONDAY. MARCH 7th.

The transactions in Butter during last week, were again to a
fair extent, and generallyconfined to fine fresh qualities, which
commanded an advance of Is to Os per cwt., and anything in-
ferior, at from 745 to 805. The Stock here is reduced into a
very small compass, and higher rates are generally looked for.
Belfast may be quoted 88s to 90s ; Waterford, 86a to 92s ;
Clonmel and Wexford, 85s to 89s ; Banbride and Coleraine,
84s to 88s; Limerick, 82s to Sis ; Sligo, 805 to S4s ; and Pickled
Corks, seconds, 885 per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland,
from the 23th ultimo to the sth instant, both inclusive, 2241
firkins, 36 kegs, 257 crocks, 234 boxes, 189 barrels of butter,
131 bales of bacon, 17-lihds. 7 tierces hams, and 353 kegs lard.
