MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER—The improvement in this market
has cleared off the greater part of the stocks of yarns
which had begun to accumulate; and spinners are,-in
many instances, again under contract for various periods.
'The business of the week for export yarns has been to a
very fair extent. The principal purchases have been for
India, but a faii inquiry has been experienced both for
Germany and other quarters. ManufactUrers continue to
purchase with caution, not giving out any extended orders.
Prices are decidedly better, and the great irregularity pre-
vailing of late has disappeared. In cloth the improvement
is not so clearly defined. For some sorts of goods, princi-
pally the lighter descriptions, there has been a pretty fair
demand, but 'prices remain very low, so much so as to
snake the manufacture far from remunerative ; and what-
ever May ultimately be resolved upon, there is at present
no diminution in the expression of intentions to adopt
shoß time.
• BRADFORD.—WooI : Few purchases have been made
during the week, and these only for immediate consump-
tion. Prices continue in favour of the buyer. Noils and
shorts without change.—Yarns': The home manufacturers
have generally succeeded- in placing their contracts upon
better terms than last month. Many spinners continue
to 'curtail their production ; and, should this continue, we
may-hope to realise better prices' ere long. The shippers
still continue out of the market.—Pieces : The same inac-
tivity continues as for several weeks, and no improvement
in' the demand, although merchants are more inclined to
operate when any very great inducement is offered.
NOTTINGHAM.—Since our 'last report the downward
price of yarn had received a check in'te 21.1anchester-mar-
ket, which induces us to think that for a time coarse
yarns, suitable for the great bulk of hosiery goods, have
reached their lowest point; unless the price of the raw
material is considerably'reduced, of which there is 'not at
present an apparent probability.- The price of finer yarns
has been again reduced a trifle, but in this we anticipate a
slight reaction, as itis impossible for spinners'to continue
selling at present rates without a 'corresponding reduction
In the price of sea island cotton. The present depression
is mainly owing to a temporary panic, caused by the war,
which will speedily be obviated; for although the ordinary
channels of trade are"StOpped,•means will be-found to sup-
ply'gOods that are wanted even by 'our enemies. We find
Russian merchants even now are sending their orders to
France, nearly as usual fOr silks and velvets. Demand
for goods has not -increased for foreign taarket, While for
home consumption thereis not so much frilling off in any
description of hosiery' goods; but' the lace 'trade is evi-
dently flatter than at the corresponding period of former
years.
HUDDERSFIELD.—There hai been very few buyers in
the market. The amount of business done has been much
the Same as last Wea; the fancy waisteeatings and

woollens there has been very little doing for several weeks
past, and the prospect of a demand in that branch seems
as distant as ever. The wool trade is very flat, and during
the week the staplers have complained of a want of
business.
