MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—Atthough destitute of anything like anima-
tion, there has been a less decided dulness in the market this
week. Prices have been firm universally, and for some
descriptions of yarns and cloth the tendency has been
towards an advance. In the absence of anything like stocks,
and with a demand equal to the supply, buyers find it difficult
to obtain many sorts of yarn at previous rates. the firmness
and rather upward movement of cotton assisting to enhance
prices. There has been a fair demand for India yarns. There
is little doing in water yarns for the continent, the export
houses refraining from any extensive operations until some-
thing more decisive is known as to the probable eventuality
of the Eastern question. Manufacturers have been operating
toe fair extent, their purchases being partially checked by
the advance demanded by spinners. The demand for cloth is
pretty good for descriptions for India. Forty-inch shirtings
are in pretty good demand, whilst a fair inquiry is still ex-
perienced forjacconets, for which contracts extending over a
lengthened period are held. Printing cloths are not so much
in r guest,. whilst for domestic and heavy goods it is difficult
to maintain prices on relative value, with the hardening
tendencies of the yarn market.
ROCHDALE.—The demand for dyed goods has been very
limited, and there is little or no inquiry for fine flannels. The
business has been chiefly confined to low priced goods, at
prices about the same as those of last week.—The wool
market is steady, and prices firm.
HUDDERSFIELD. —The change of patterns and the nearness
of the London wool sales seem to operate, to a certain extent,
to prevent merchants doing more than keep up their stock
assortments.—As might be expected, the whole trade has
been flat during the week.
LEEDS.—The cloth markets have been much duller at the
Cloth Halls titan for several weeks past; and there has also
been less business done out of the market than has been the
case of late. This seems to arise from the aspect of political
affairs and the fears of the derangement of trade in conse-
quence. There is no alteration in prices; and although the
mills are pretty well ettip!oyed, the stocks in the inanufac-
tuiers' hands are lower than usual at this season. From the
above causes business has also been dull in the warehouses.

BRADFORD.—WooI: there has been great dulness in the
wool market. The political news appears to deter spinners
from buying at the rates now demanded. The holders evince
more disposition to sell, no doubt to prevent loss in weight,
which the weather in this and the next month always pro-
duces. Woils and broke are firm, from the small quantity
making.—Yarns: the profitless condition of the spit hers is
in no degree lessened, and there is no alternative but abort
time continuing till there is either a rise in the price of wool,
or yarns attain a price commensurate with the production.—
Pieces: the business doing continues very sluggish. For the
spring there has been, at present, but little provision made;
but we are not without hope that ere long we shall see signs
of marked activity.
NOTTMGHAM.—No improvement in the condition of eitNer
the hosiery or lace trades. The town is visited by about the
usual number of purchasers, yet the amount of sales does not
come.up to the average of previous years. The price of yarn
is a trifle more in favour of the buyer.
Lasc.Estre R.—There is not any improvement in the general
trade this week. All operations for stock are nearly sus-
pended, only orders being manufactured ; nor can we hope,
until continental news becomes more favourable to commer-
cial transactions, and the price of corn much reduced, for
any general improvement in trade and abundant employment.
