MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The market has continued quiet throughout
the week, but without producing any marked decline in prices.
Both goods and yarns nay be obtained on easier terms; the
reduction of price is, however, inconsiderable, the absence of
stocks, and the engagenents held by producers, being suffi-
cient to sustain the mallet pretty generally. We noticed last
last week that the markt was not active, and this week this
inactivity has been increased by the tenor of the American
advices, which indicatel enlarged receipts of Cotton and lower
prices, contemporanecasly with commercial accounts from
India of a rather less fivourable character. The unfavourable
influence of the Ame'ican advices was more perceptible on
Monday and Tuesday than it has been since. The steadiness
and partial recovery o the Liverpool cotton market has pro-
duced a somewhat sinilar feeling here, and although buyers
are exceedingly cautious and disinclined to give out orders, in
no case is much disp.sition manifested by producers to give
way. In Yarns these is a very perceptible dulness. The
demand for India ha; very materially fallen off, and prices are
in favour of the buyer, but irregular, much depending upon
the position of the tarties. There is very little demand for
the continent of Emope, and Yarns for that quarter are the
turn lower. In Goods there is considerable firmness

not having moved up to the same extent for years: printing
cloths are particultrly firm and scarce, and still in demand.
Other kinds of gods continue without any further change
ban a slight turn i► the buyer's favour.
ROCHDALE.—WI have bad rather a still market, and little
or no change in prces. Wool continues much the same both
in price and demand.

MACCLESFIELD.—Our manufacturers continue actively en-
gaged for the spring trade. Many houses are working to
orders, and the stocks of goods on hand are quite insignificant.
Weavers, for the season, have fuller employment than has been
known for several years past. The silk dyers are also busy,
which is a good indication that preparation is general.
HUDDERSFIEID.—The Cloth hall presents quite a deserted
appearance, fron the want of stocks, most of the manufac-
turers working t) order, who deliver their goods direct to the
warehouses, wit.iout passing through the hall. Business in
the warehouses is very brisk, merchants being able to com-
plete orders on land only with time:
LEEDS.—Busbess has been pretty brisk with the commis-
sion hands out )f the halls, and the mills continue in full em-

ployment. The advance in the price of Wool at the sales has
to some extent stimulated the wholesale houses to purchase
more freely, and goods to a full average extent have exchanged
hands in the wwebouses since this day week. The shipping
houses have alto been more active this week than for several

weeks past.
BRADFORD.—WOOI : The opening of the sales of Colonial
Wools in Londoi, at an advance of Id. per lb. on October sales,
makes the holders here firm. In English Wools there is but
little doing; all appear holding off, and working from stock
bought at the close of last year; but as this stock is daily de-
creasing, further sapplies will be required, and a conflict be-
tween the buyers and sellers is inevitable, before any active
buying will he apparent. Yarns : The decided firmness of all
kinds of English Wools, and the advance on Colonial, the ex-
travagant price of Gallipoli oil, now 70 per cent higher, makes
a considerable addition to the price of the top, and increases
the cost of Yarns at a period when the shippers' limits cannot
be met. The buyers on spool using less, in consequence of the
high price, there seems to be no alternative but an abridgment
in the production. Pieces More inquiry among the mer-
chants for goods, and where lots are offared at old prices they
are freely accepted. But for the staple articles for spring and
summer trade, there is no unwillingness to order at prices
which will cover cost. In heavy goods, all Wool, the market
is firm.

No'rriNoxAm.—There is not anything new to report on the
condition of either the Hosiery or Lace trades, since our last ;
the principal business doing in each being at this time to our
foreign possessions and anticipatory orders for the home spring
trade. The prices of Yarn for each trade is without alteration.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18.

This morning's market was slenderly attended, and a pro_
portionately limited extent of business only was practicable in
any description of Wheat, the general currency of our last
being merely maintained, while in partial instances buyers had
the turn slightly in their favour.—Flour was in moderate re-
quest; to sell in any quantity rather less money should be
taken, but few holders were inclined to give way.—Oats and
Oatmeal moved off with difficulty, but at no quotable difference
of prices.—lndian Corn, ex warehouse, meets a retail inquiry
at previous rates ; there are no sales of floating cargoes reported
to-day.—Other articles without apparent alteration.
