MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER. The market has been decidedly,
better this week, considerably more animation has pre-
vailed, and on Tuesday a fair business was transacted,
which would have been further extended but for the
increased prices demanded, which had the effect of
materially limiting orders. Buyers were not disposed to
concede such advance, and only for particular descriptions
of yarn and goods urgently required was the full advance
asked realised. The improvement has been caused in
part by the large purchases in and upward movement of
the Liverpool cotton market at the beginning of the week,
and a desire to conclude the purchases on Tuesday, the
rest ,of the week being almost entirely devoted to pleasure-
seeking. On Thursday, the Greek houses again received
letters of a more favourable character, with orders,
perhaps, less extensive than numerous.—For yarns there
had been an increased demand, both for home use and
export. Common 40's, for India, as well as the next
grade, have been in better demand, and a full farthing
per lb. is asked and obtained ; 30's water yarn is also
better to almost the same extent. For other descriptions
an advance of dd. and id. is asked, but the larger advance
is not obtainable, and the smaller is not readily given ;
very full prices are, however, freely conceded.—For goods
more money is also generally required, which has materi-
ally curtailed the demand.
LEEDS.—Whitsuntide is always a dull time in the
cloth trade, and the markets at our Cloth Halls were of
the usual dull character. Business has also been of the
same character out of the market; prices are steady, the
stocks moderate, and the mills contmne pretty well em-
ployed. Business has also been, quiet in the warehouses
this week. _ _

BRADFORD.—TrooL—This has been a complete holi-
day-week so far as buying of wool is concerned, both long
and short, and the very cold weather which has for some
time past continued, has retarded the clipping season,
which, so far as it has proceeded, will be below the aver-
afe both in soundness and quality. In the fine wool
districts, the clipping has not yet begun, but the severe
winter and the very dry spring, has operated somewhat
against the wool; which will be found more tender and
less bulky than in former seasons.—Yarns.—The business
continues very contracted, and so wretchedly bad are the
prices, that it is -making sad havoc among the smaller
spinners. The shippers • are doing very little, and those
for Russia as yet have done nothing, so that stocks abroad.
are fast redueing,and none preparing here .on speculittlou.
The production of reeled yarns is fully 75 per cent., and
spools 50 per cent. less than at this period last year, and
of the latter there is no accumulation, as the spinners are
fast for empty •spodis in a day or two, if no returns. At
no period of time was the production so contracted as at
the present, or the margin between the price of wool and
yarn so small.—Pieces.—The purchases of goods are by
no means cxtensire. The quantity of looms stopping is
on the increase, which accounts for the immense quantity
of spinning machinery that lies idle. The prices realisable
are such as will not justify manufacturers to keep their
looms employed, 'notwithstanding the low prices at which
yarns can be bought.
NOTTINGHAM.—Since our last report but little busi-
ness has been done, owing, to a great extent, to the fact
that most part of the week has been, as usual, devoted to
holiday making. A few articles in lace goods are said to
have been in rather more request, but hitherto not suffi-
cient to warrant an extended production.—The hosiery
trade continues very flat, and a great number of frames
have been stopped.—The price of hosiery yarn is nominal;
sales, except for goods to be made to a small extent for
present orders, cannot be effected. The prim of lace yarn
is again quoted a trifle lower.
ROCHDALE.—We have had a very fair attendance of
buyers in the market, with a very limited amount of
business transacted, at prices much the same as those of
the preceding weak.—The wool market has been still,
and prices firm.
