MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—An increased degree of dulness has
pervaded the market this week ; and though prices con-
tinue pretty steady on the whole, in some instances more
favourable terms are obtainable by buyers. Yarns have
been less in demand, and in some instances a slight con-
cession may be obtained. The demand for India is still
very moderate, and in consequence buyers have some ad-
vantage. For Germany and the Mediterranean there is
also less doing, the late operations having satisfied the
present demand, but prices remain very firm. The pur-
chases for home use are restricted, manufacturers only
operating to the extent requisite to supply their looms.
Goods continue very dull and prices lower. The manu-
facturers of India goods find that the present rates will
entail a positive loss, whilst no sales can be effected at the
quotations. T cloths and light printers continue in fair
request by the Greek houses, and 36in. shirtings are in
moderate inquiry. For the home trade there is no very
active demand.
BRADFORD.—WooI: There has been a considerable
quantity of wool coming to market within the last few
days ; but the difficulty to buy of the farmers is not
abated, and there is no disposition to sell here, except at
prices beyond the reach of the worsted spinner. Large
quantities have been bought in the country for blanket
and other purposes, which has raised the price above the
level of this trade. Noils and brokes are in good request
—very scarce—and command high prices.—Yarns : The
spinners complain loudly at the price of wool, compared
with the current rate of yarns, there being less spinning
margin than at any previously-known period. There are
no stocks of yarns on hand, and many houses are under
contracts, at prices that will not cover the cost of top. For
fresh orders higher prices are demanded, and no one is
disposed to accept contracts for distant delivery.—Pieces :
The season with the merchants having opened so late,
they have not yet sold out their early purchases, which
were very small, and the stocks in the hands of the whole
trade were never lower at any period of time. The cost to
produce being on the ascendant, causes the manufacturers
to act with unusual caution, and large numbers of looms
are totally idle, in addition to those of suspended houses ;
and there is no disposition to increase the present produc-
tion, which is not 50 per cent. of August, 1853.

ROCHDALE.—There is not much change in the wool
market; the demand is steady and prices rather better.

HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been a fair amount of
business done in the cloth hall and warehouses, and consi-
derably more lookers have attended than for some time
past. The sales have been made in small parcels, but a
good tone has pervaded the market. There has not been
very much doing in the wool warehouses, which arises
from the advance in the price of wool. The fancy vesting
trade remains very quiet.

NOTTINGHAM.—We cannot announce any improve-
ment in the condition of either the lace or hosiery trades
for the past week, nor can we reasonably hope for much
now until after harvest, by which time it is fair to sup-
pose we shall be in receipt of orders from the United
States, as well as others from our various colonies. The
price of hosiery yarn is reduced a trifle, while that of lace
is 'hardening a little.

LEICESTER.—The improvement noticed last week
still.continues, and for useful goods it is fully expected a
fair autumn trade will be done. Prices of worsted yarns
have again risen id per lb., and spinners are fully engaged
on orders.

CORN

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 18.—There was rather a limited
attendance of millers and dealers at our Corn Exchange
this morning, and all descriptions of wheat sold slowly at
a decline of 2d per 701bs. from the annexed currency.
Flour of choice quality sells tolerably well at 6d per barrel,
and Spanish, which is again rather scarce, at a reduction
of is per sack. Barley without change. Beans meet
little demand. Oats find occasional buyers at Tuesday's
prices. Oatmeal, the stock of which is materially reduced,
commands an improvement of 6d per load : a parcel of
new sold at 355. The speculative demand for Indian
corn has materially subsided, and sales were made at a
reduction of fully is per 4801bs.

MANCHESTER, AUG. 17.—The Corn Exchange to-
day was well attended. Dealers and bakers appeared to
have more confidence in the present rates of flour, and
were free buyers at an advance of is to 2s per sack on both
English and Spanish, and is per barrel on American.
Wheat was also in good request, and 6d to 9d per bushel
dearer. Other articles, on the contrary, were dull of sale,
without material change in prices.
PRESTON, AUG. 19.—For this season of the year,
there was a fair supply of English wheat at our Corn Ex-
change to-day ; the sale was not brisk, but farmers held
with much firmness, and for superior qualities the quota-
tions of this day se'nnight were in a few cases exceeded.
Foreign rather dull, and middling samples 2d to 3d per
bushel lower. Flour held for a trifling improvement.
Beans neglected. Oats without change. Oatmeal a little
more sought after, and choice qualities (Id per load dearer.
Other articles as before.

WAKEFIELD, AUG. 18.—The weather to-day is fine,
though cloudy and cold. Holders of wheat were firm, and
the rates of this day se'nnight were fully obtained. Barley
and beans unaltered. Oats were steady. In other articles
there was little business. Arrivals :—Wheat, 3,133; barley,
648 ; oats, 317; beans, 185 ; malt 37 quarters.
