MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—There has been a steady demand of mode-
rate extent from the home consumers of yarns, particularly Of
the medium counts, and also from the continental buyers of
warps and pincops from 24's upwards. These spinnings are
consequently rather higher ; in the course of a fortnight they
have gained about id. per lb. Warps and weft for domestics
continue perfectly firm, the latter rather hardening. The con-
tracts in hand for China have caused 16's to 24's reeled water
twist to be fully as dear as it was a week ago ; and we have
some renewal of demand, with a slight further tendency in
prices to advance. The production of 40's and 50's mule yarns,
of India quality, is pre-engaged. In the department of goods,
we find that the dealers are laying their hands on the cheaper
lots of domestics of such qualities (in particular) as are suitable
for the Canadian buyers, several of whom arrived by the last
steamer. The better qualities, which they purchase in the
United States, have been there raised in price. There has not
been so much demand for China shirtings as for the lighter
descriptions adapted to the markets of India ; all kinds, how-
ever, are well engaged ; and the telegraphic announcement of
the overland mail is again occasioning rather more inquiry.
Longcloths, T's, and jacconets of low and medium qualities,
are in fair request. We have still to report well of 7-8 printing
cloths, especially in 52 to 64 reeds.

Rocif DALE.—Fine flannels and dyed goods have been more
inquired after, but the manufacturers found it difficult to ob-
tain an advance in prices equal to that which has taken place
in the raw material. There was a good demand for middle
qualities and strong Yorkshire domestics, at previous prices.
The stocks of goods in the warehouses are lower. Rather more
business done in the wool market ; prices firm.
LEEDs.—In the public markets since our last report there
had scarcely been so much business done as in the preceding
week, but the woollen trade is in all respects as buoyant. The
clothiers throughout the district are well employed. The only
complaint made is, that the prices obtainable are too low,
considering the increased cost of the raw materials and of the
rate of wages paid to the operatives. There has been some
advance in the price of most kinds of cloth during the last
three weeks ; the increase is firmly maintained.
NOTTINGHAAL—The lace trade is improving a little, and
there is every reason to expect a further increase in demand
shortly, as the business to the colonies for both lace and hosiery
seems to require a considerably extended supply ; the borne

trade for each of these articles is improving. The price of

yarn is unchanged

ISISECH, J. 26.—Wheat being in poor condition gene-

W
rally is sold at a reduction of Is. per qr. on the best samples,
and Is. to 2s. per qr. on all other sorts. Beans and Oats lower.
DUBLIN', JAN. 28.—There was rather a dull market at our
Corn-Exchange to-day for every article except Barley, all
quantities of which met a brisk demand at fully the currencies
of Tuesday. Oats were again 3d. cheaper, and although we do
not reduce the quotations for Wheat, the tendency of the trade
was to lower rates. The transactions in Indian Corn were few,
at about our last quotations :
White Wheat 26s Od to 32s Od Rapeseed 21s Od to 23s Od
Red do 255 Od to 30s Od Oatmeal ...... Ils Od to 12a 6d
Barley 12s 6d to IBa

Here Os Od to Os Od Indian Corn,
Oats 10s Od to 11s Od per 480/b.. 31s 6d to 34s Gd
