MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The improvement in this market
continued without diminution on Tuesday, and the trans-
actions were at the full prices of the previous week, being,
in all instances, .9 decided advance on the low prices of a
fortnight previously, and for some descriptions—yarns and
goods for India especially—the improvement has been con-
siderable. The market maintained the same position on
Wednesday, 'but on Thursday the demand seemed to
slacken, and there has been less inquiry since. The large
purchases made for the India market have cleared off all
-stocks, and many spinners are again in orders, the com-
pletion of which will take some time. The demand seems
to have been satisfied for the present, and the market is
mow decidedly quieter again, but very firm, being main-
Aained by the firmness manifested in the Liverpool cotton
-market, as well as by the clearance of -stocks. The demand
for yarn, besides the extensive transactions for India, has
‘extendedto the .descriptions for the China market ; and,
milder this influence, prices of both have improved. There
has also been exhibited, on the part of manufacturers,
rather more disposition to make purchases, in order to
.avail themselves of the low prices, before an advance took
place. In goods the principal improvement has occurred
an India shirtings and light cloths generally, in which
:some speculative -transactions have been induced, by the
,exceedingly low prices prevailing; but as values have
increased, so has the inquiry diminished, and there is
-some little quietness observable. T-cloths and longcloths
are inactive, but pretty steady, notwithstanding the in-
icrease of stocks. Domestics are also quiet.
BRADFORD.—WooI: The transactions in wool of all
ikinds suitable for combing purpose, continue limited, and
;the prices which recent sales have commanded are such as
Tte deter the country dealers from sending forward fresh
'supplies till they see .at what rates newselips avill be bought.
liuiles and brakes without change.—Yarns: The demand
;for yarns is not active, but the prices which have recently
been submitted to, entail a great loss to the -spinner, and
the production is daily lessened. There are sio stocks on
hand, and the spool trade is so flat as to prohibit spinning
beyond two or three days a-week.—Pieces ; The long con-
tinuance of fine weather gives a tone of confidence in the
prospect of approaching plenty, and produces the feeling
that things have seen their lowest, and associated with
the fact that wool has now assumed a stand, these in-
fluences are telling on the market. The prices at which
_goods have been selling fie some time past, are far below
the-cost of production.
LEEDS.—We have had very dull markets at our cloth
.halls.on the the two last market days, and the business
done out of the market has been ,of the same character.
Stocks are on the increase, more particularly in heavy
goods, and prices are more in favour of the purchaser, but
in seasonable sorts prices rule steady. Business has been
dull in >the warehouses this week, as is usually the case at
Easter.

NOTTINGHAM.—The week has been almost entirely
devoted to holidays, consequently little or no business has
been doing either in the lace or hosiery trade, very few
buyers having been here, and their purchases quite of a
retail character. Hosiery yarn is withortt any change in
price. Lace yarn is a mere trifle more in favour of buyers.
