MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—The dulness which has existed for the last
ten days continues, and prices are in favour of the buyer; the
decline being more decided than hitherto, accompanied by
considerable irregularity. The Turkish question again ap-
pears less satisfactory, and excites some little uneasiness ,
but the most important elements of the present stagnation;
are the gradual rise in the rate for discounts and the appre-
hended dearness of money, with the absence of any active
demand for a single foreign market. At the same time, cau-
tion—induced by the present position of the money market,
and the more than probable dearness of food—has occasioned
a much more restricted demand from the home trade houses.
Yarns of all kinds have been very dull, but more especially
descriptions for export. For India there is at present little
or no demand, which, indeed, is also the case with the sorts
usually in demand for Germany and the Mediterranean.
Stocks ale beginning to accumulate, and prices are lower this
week folly ;d. per lb. -Warps and weft are lass inquired for,
and prices are very irregular, being dictated by the monetary
position of the producer, but averaging a decline of Id. to Id.
per lb. Cloth has been less firm, the demand being very
limited for nearly all sorts; and buyers have an advantage
of about lid. per piece, the only exception being in the lighter
fabrics of shirtings and jacconets, used for printing purposes,
which are scarce, and maintain their full value.
ROCHDALE.—There has been a good demand for Flannels,
more especially for those made of the lower qualities of wool ;
goods of a finer description have not been so much inquired
after. Low priced English Wools are scarce, and better prices
are asked for them.

BRADFORD.—WOOIB : There continues to be very great in-
activity in the purchase of Wool for consumption. The spin-
ners positively assert they cannot make their own, and are
now working more closely than usual, the prices sought act-
ing as a barrier. Noils and shorts' are not plentiful, and com-
mand good prices.—Yarns: The demand for Worsted Yarns
continues to take off what is made, with the machinery that
is at work; but the ruinous prices now current will tend to
cripple the supply, for Wool is now fully at the rate of Is. per
gross too dear, to allow of a spinning margin.—Pieces: The
demand is not so active as a few weeks back. The merchants
in the warehouses are very busy in finished goods, and no
doubt, ere long, we may see greater animation in the grey
market. The manufacturers complain of the bad position
they are in, both Cotton and Worsted Yarns ranging at prices
that will not admit of a profit. In all Wool goods, Moreens,
Merinos, and Lastings, the murmurings are equally great.
HALIFAX.—The demand for Worsted goods has not im-
proved, and the sales, which have been limited, have chiefly
consisted of mixtures of low quality. Yarns are steady, at
late rates ; and there is not much doing in Wool, without any
change in the quotations.

lIUDDERSFIELD.—Tbe demand for seasonable goods still
continues to exceed the supply, and the warehouses during
the week have been doing a brisk winter trade. The manu-
facturers are very busy, and bare every prospect of beingso
for some time to come.

BRISTOL.—The quantity of Combing Wool offered in bulk
appears every meeting to be getting less. The extreme prices
souzht by the farmers at clipping season were such as de-
terred the dealers from buying as before ; and, at the prices
now sought, every one is acting with caution, and the pur-
chases will be less than usual. Short Skin Wools have been
offered in greater quantity, and were more readily disposed
of than anticipated, at extreme prices.
NOTTINGHAM.—Neither the Lace nor Hosiery trades pre-
sent any features worthy of comment : that portion of the first
mentioned business which is confined to articles made of
cotton is much depressed, the fashion still continuing in
favour of Muslin Goods. Most classes of Hosiery are selling
freely, and considerable orders are expected in a few weeks
for the United States. Hosiery Cotton maintains its price;
in some cases a trifling advance is being asked on the price of
Lace Yarn.

LEICESTER.--Every branch of business continues in a atnte
of healthy-activity. The stocks in the warehouses are on the
whole less than usual, and the arrival of orders will prevent
any accumulation. The preaegf prices are corksidered to be
safe for Some time hence. Operations for Auttimn are now
more freely entered into, the chance being in favour ottur-
tiler rise.
