LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2.
The interest which has always been taken in this meeting by
all classes of sportsmen, was continued this year with unabated
fervour, the attendance being quite as large as usual. The
veather, after being so severe as to cause the postponement of
several race meetings, which had been fixed to have taken place
dicing the two preceding weeks, became sufficiently mild to
alnw of racing taking place, the frost having taken its depar-
turs the day previous. The day was fine throughout, but at
theconclusion of the Steeple-chase a cold north wind set in,
which caused the great bulk of the spectactors to leave before
the list race was run. We subjoin a brief return :

agst View Halloo, 24 to 1 agst Abd-el-Kader, and 25 to ast
any other. Maurice Daley first showed in advance, followed by
Bourton, and a largehody of horses. In the second field, Peter
Simple went to the front, and took up the running. At the
third fence the chapter of accidents commenced, Victress re-
fused, and disappointed The General; Betsy Prig, The Dwarf,
and Poll fell. Beecher's Brook was jumped by the two Peters
abreast, Crabbs going over third, Field Marshal, Carrig, and a
large body of horses following. Along the canal side Abd- el-
Kader went to the front, Crabbs at the same time passing Peter,
and .vas first on the race course by a hundred yards, but by the
time he reached the artilicisl brook in front of the Stand he was
only about forty yards in front; he took this leap in splendid
style, Crabbs following, and Carrig close to him, followed by
Bourton, Oscar, and others, not one of them making a mistake.
Directly after, Carrig headed Crabbs, and on re-entering the
starting field Peter Simple took the lead from Abd-el-Kader,
Oscar third. On again reaching Beecher's Brook, Carrig fell
back, and left the second place with Crabbs, who was now dead
beat. At the last hurdle Peter Simple, Miss Mowbray, and
Oscar were in the air together ; half way up the distance Oscar's
rate was sealed, and Miss Mowbray being in difficulties just
below the stand, Peter Simple gradually drew away from her,
red was landed a gallant winner by four lengths. The pace
throughout was moderate, the time being lOrnin. 37i sec.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The market has again been quiet this week,
with a tendency to lower prices. There was a decided pause
in operations at the beginning 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 )lanchester 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 dipiinishing 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 munimously 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.

MACCLESFIELD.—We have a smaller amount to note the last
week in the sales of silk manufactured goods, owing, no doubt,
to the severityof 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.

BRADFORD.—The 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.
