TATTERSALL'S.-SATURDAY.

Trifle and Peggy again absorb nearly the whole of the betting,
notwithstanding a field of 40 is expected to be arrayed against
them ; the latter, at S and 7 to 1, was backed for upwards of
.e5OO. Boarding School Miss filly, reported to have beaten
Lady Evelyn in a recent trial, was frequently inquired after,
and several small investments were made at prices ranging
from 40 to SO to 1. Lady Evelyn receded to 20 to 1, taken and
afterwards offered. The two leading favourites for the Derby
were firm. The mysterious Cineas was again under a cloud-
-20 to 1 was repeatedly offered. Subjoined are the closing prices :

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—There is little or no change in the market
this week. Prices remain perfectly steady, whilst the demand
is only very moderate for either Goods or Yarn. The move-
ment on the part of the piecers in the neighbourhood of Ashton
and Stalybridge, not to work more than ten and a half hours
per day, which reduces the production of Yarn, as well as the
consumption of Cotton, is beginning to tell upon the market,
and has had no slight influence in maintaining Yarns at very
full prices during the week, notwithstanding the entire absence
of activity. Should the movement extend further, the effect
in steadying the market and favouring full prices will become
still more marked, whilst cotton will be affected in a reverse
ratio. The demand for export to Germany and the Mediter-
ranean has been but small, whilst manufacturers are cautious
in their operations. For Goods no demand of moment has
been experienced, but there is a general firmness of price, no
tendency to depression being visible. Printing Cloths continue
in fair demand, as do 3fiin. Shirtings, whilst 40in. are rather
quieter. T Cloths, Longclot hs, and Domestics are only in
very moderate demand.

ROCHDALE.—The Flannel market still continues good, not-
withstanding it is that time of the year when it is usually flat,
The manufacturers have obtained an advance upon their goods
to meet the price of the raw material. The price of 'Wool is
still on the advance, and some sorts are becoming very scarce,
more especially broke Wool and Noils.
LEZDS.—There is a slight falling off in the demand for
Woollen Cloths this week ; but the manufacturers are all well
employed and prices are firm.

BRADFORD.—WooIs : There is no alteration either in the
supply of Wool offering or the disposition to buy; and as it is
too early for new Wool to be brought into the market, we may
expect a paucity of sales till the price of the coming clips is
established. Noils and Drokes are steady at late prices.
Yarns The end of the month is usual for a renewal of orders
for time, but the advanced price of Wool renders it imperative
to seek higher prices, and for the Lancashire market less is
doing, but generally all is consumed as produced, and there is
no accumulation of stock. Pieces : There is little if any altera-
tion in this department. Fancy Goods are still inquired for,
and some Flounced Goods, or robes, are, to a great extent,
inquired after.
HALIFAX.—The merchants are shy of giving out orders for
Yarn, at the rates asked by the spinners; but, where orders are
given out, those rates are submitted to. There is not much
doing in Wool, and no chance in the quotations.
HUDDEIISFIELD.—There is nothing particular to notice in
our market this week, and as the season is getting advanced we
shall probably have trade rather quieter for a week or two.
NOTTINOHAM.—In the Lace department some houses still
complain of want of business, while others express themselves
satisfied with the condition of things, particularly those em-
ployed in making Silk Fancy Laces ; the great difficulty they
experience is not being able to obtain this textile of good quality
in sufficient quantities. The Hosiery trade is good in most of
its varied branches. Yarn for each trade is selling at high
rates, without a prospect of a reduction.
