MARKETS FOR MANEFACTU.RES,

—There has not been so active a demand in
th market this wook as last, hut prima fully maintain their
firmness. The Eastern question has no doubt contributed in

MANCHESTER

a great degree to the comparative quietness of the market;

but, in addition, the India advice; continue to be unfavour-
able, and the resumption of work by the Stockport spinners
may, in a slight degree, have disposed purchasers of Yarn to
act with caution, although the greater part of the production
does not come into the market, but is manufactured. Buyers
are by no means indisposed to purchase where the slightest
concession is offered ; and prices which were last week asked,
but not obtained, bare not been longer held for, and this
change has been sufficient to induce purchases. _ ..
Yarns are

still in demand for manufacturing purposes,
at very full
prices. The inquiry for export is more limited ; but wherever
the slightest moderation from extreme rates is shown, orders
are readily placed. The home trade demand for goods is
fully maintained, the improvement in the weather inducing
buyers further to extend their operations. Printing Cloths
have an upward tendency, whilst considerable firmness for all
descriptions is apparent.

ROCHDALE.—A dull market and less business transacted
than in the preceding week, but prices have been much the
same. The 'Wool market has been quiet, and prices easier.
BRADFORD.—WOOI: A shade more doing, especially in
bright-haired, which imparts more confidence to the holders,
who complain that they cannot replenish stocks on terms to
enable them to meet the prices now offered by the spinners.
Noils and brokes are not plentiful.—Yarns : The unsettled
state of the Eastern question makes the shippers defer their
purchases. and already the quantity exported is much less
than in previous years. For Spools the demand is steady,
and prices without change.—Pieces : The merchants exhibit
a great degree of caution, and are only buying in limited
quantity, and without some relief in Wads can be obtained,
higher prices or a less production must follow.
HALIFAX.—Rather more inquiry for some descriptions of
goods, but the sales have not been of an extensive character.
Notwithstanding the continued influence of the unsettled
state of Eastern politics, the Yarn market exhibits greater
firmness; and the same may be said of Wool, in which there
is more doing.

HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been quiet, both in the
cloth hall and warehouses. Very few buyers in town. Goods
of dark colour, in new patterns, chiefly borders, large checks
and clouds, are mostly inquired for, and required for home
autumn consumption. In the Wool market rather more has
been done, at easier rates, in consequence of the slight de-
cline at the London sales, the tone of which has been in
favour of the Lon don buyer.

LEICESTER.—The same regularity in making continues,
and all bands in the respective branches are well employed.
Worsted Yarns remain without alteration, the demand not
being very active. There is bat little doing
in Wools, pur-
made only for present supply.

NOTTINGHANI.—The Lace trade is in a very fair state,
considering it is the height of the summer season, when a
brisk trade is never expected, but the home business is pretty
good, especially for silk goods. The hosiery trade also con-
tinues in a very healthy state, with the prospect of a good
winter's demand, both home and foreign. The price of yarn
has still an upward tendency.
