MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.-Our market has been rather quiet all week,
and although prices cannot be quoted lower, buyers exercise
great circumspection, and are slow purchasers at extreme
rates ; whilst, on the other hand, the brisk demand which was
experienced during the early part of last week has so generally
cleared off any accumulating stocks, and placed so many pro-
ducers under orders, for short periods, that none but the ad-
vanced prices would for an instant be entertained. There has
been a steady but not extensive business, and during the last
day or two there has been somewhat more irregularity in prices.
For India Yarns the demand has been more moderate, at pre-
vious rates, the endeavour to obtain extreme prices having
proved unsuccessful. Water Yarns have been generally firm,
and for those in the bundle, if anything, higher rates have been
required, but only with the effect of checking the demand.
For home use, Warps and Cop Yarns have been in moderate
inquiry, at the advance of last week, but if anything, they are
slightly easier to purchase. The demand for goods for India
has in a great measure subsided ; prices are firm for these
goods, as well as for printer's T Cloths; Long Cloths and
Domestics are also without change.
ROCII DA LE.-A steady demand for goods, and the manufac-
turers are obtaining rather better prices. Low and middle
qualities of English Wools are very scarce, and prices firmer.
LEEDS.—The Woollen Cloth trade continues in the same
state of activity we have had to report it to be in since the
commencement of the year. The manufacturers are well em-
ployed, and they find ready sale for their fabrics.

BRADFORD.—WOOI: The great activity manifested for some
time past has, to some extent, met the present requirements of
the spinners, who are deterred from buying, except to assort
their stocks, at the extreme prices now demanded. In reeled
Yarns there is a good deal of inquiry, but for first-rate spin-
nings I Is. 6d. is now sought for 30's to 40's, with no disposition
to take orders for distant delivery. Pieces: The increased prices
now demanded for goods make the merchants chary in giving
out orders; but where old prices are submitted to,—the result
of the contracts of last year in Yarn,—there is no difficulty in
effecting sales. Cotton Warps have again advanced in price,
and in the finer sorts 6d. per lb. They have now advanced not
less than Is. Od. per lb. from the lowest price, and at this they
are very firm.

He LIFAX.—The aspect of trade here is pretty much the same
as was noted in our last report; and there is no noticeable
alteration in either the Yarn or Wool market. Large contracts
for Yarn have been offered at present prices, but the spinners
have declined taking them, as those prices entail positive loss.
HUDDERSFIELD.—We have seldom seen the trade here so
well sustained in any year as it has been in this up to the pre-
sent time. Stocks are still very low, and prices, considering
everything, not at all out of the way, and still likely to be well
maintained.

NOTTINGHAM.—There is some improvement in the demand
for Lace Goods on the whole, although there are some sorts for
which there is not so much inquiry. The Hosiery trade con-
tinues in an uninterrupted state of activity for the home,
colonial, and South American markets, and large orders for
the United States are expected; a few have already arrived.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,
FRIDAY, APRIL 8.
This morning, Wheats of good fresh quality have been in
improved request, a good many parcels taken for the interior,
and though in some instances a trifle less was accepted, we can
note no general change in our currency, and upon the whole
the trade assumes a more firm position. Of Flour, a consider-
able quantity changed hands to speculators as well as dealers
at a reduction of 6d per barrel, but at the close of market there
were few sellers at this abatement. In Barley, Malt, and
Pease no change occurred. Beans inactive at nominally pre-
vious rates. Oats and Oatmeal steady in value, and a fair
business doing. There is little or no good Yellow Indian Corn
offering, but with white we are over supplied, rind for such the
sale is limited at 6d per qr. reduction. For arrived Galatz
32s 6d, and for Ibraila 30s 6d would be paid, but no sales are
reported to-day.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,
FRIDAY, APRIL 8.
In the market of Beet there is no new feature, the dealers
buy sparingly, anticipating lower prices, but as the deliveries
are good, and the greater part of the year's supply now arrived,
holders display rather more firmness, especially with the finer
qualities. The arrivals of French Pork are heavy, but consist
chiefly of the purchases made by the dealers some time since to
arrive. Bacon is again lower, the anticipated arrival of a con-
siderable quantity of western having made holders of the
recent imports free sellers. Without further variation in
price, the sales of Lard for the week reach 100 tons. Holders
are now a little firmer. There is a fair demand for Cheese, but
the late advance has somewhat interfered with the consumption.
MONDAY, APRIL 11.
Old Butter met with a good demand during the whole of the
past week, at prices ranging from 848 to 94s according to qua-
lity; very little is now left, and all will be wanted. New has
advanced 3s to 4s. The most favourite brands of Waterford
are selling at 110 s, which buyers give with reluctance ; second
rate descriptions are not very saleable, at 96s to 104 s; and
Limerick, 92s to 96s per cwt. landed. Old Belfast, 88s to 925;
Waterford, 86s to 925; Wexford and Clonmel, 88s to 925; Ban-
bridge and Coleraine, 85s to 88s ; Sligo, 83s to 86s; and pickled
Cork seconds, 96s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland
from the 4th to the 9th instant, both inclusive :--3,414 firkins,
41 kegs, 439 crocks, 182 boxes, 119 barrels Butter; 154 bales
Bacon ; 6 hogsheads 2 tierces Hams; 23 tierces 190 kegs Lard.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET,
MONDAY, APRIL 11.
The market to-day was dull, though the supply of stock was
much larger than on this day week; many Beasts were turned
out unsold. Prime Heifer Beef made Gd ; second quality, 52d
Mutton, 8d to Sad.
