TRADE AND MARKETS.

MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—The highly-favourable political news
received at the beginning of the week, announcing the
victory on the Alma and the fall of Sebastopol, caused
the most sanguine expectations to be at once entertained
of the future course of the market. Such a degree of
firmness, as regards prices, was assumed, as spinners have
latterly been strangers to ; and advances were asked
which had the effect of greatly interfering with operations
that would otherwise have been entered upon, as buyers
were decidedly more disposed to make purchases. Spinners
were the more induced to hold out for higher rates in con-
sequence of the advance of td per lb, then quoted in the
Liverpool cotton market. The result was, that on Tuesday,
although much more animation was visible, the actual
increase of business was very insignificant. The high
expectations entertained on Tuesday very considerably
subsided on the two following days ; and since the ground-
lessness of the rumour of the taking of Sebastopol has
become evident, the feeling is little improved compared
with last week. The instances were few in which advt nces
were not asked for yarns at the beginning of the week,
and almost as few in which such advances were given.
The demand for export continued restricted, whilst the
operations of manufacturers were further contracted.

Prices are now barely firm, and purchases have been
made at reduced quotations. For India and China the
demand is very limited, and but little less so for Germany
and the continental markets generally. Goods have been
by no means in good demand, the market being disturbed
by the changed position assumed by•manufacturers; and
though the higher prices sought to be obtained are no
longer persisted in, the operations have been smaller than
seemed likely to be at the earlier period of the week. The
Greeks are still buyers, but not to the same extent as
latterly.

ROOHDALE.—A steady demand for flannels, but not
quite so brisk as on the previous week. Little change in
wool, either in price or demand.
HUDDERSFIELD.—LittIe alteration in this market.
A few of the manufacturers say that they have sold more
goods than for the last few weeks, but the prevailing
feeling is that of quietness.
LEEDS.—The cloth markets, at both halls, have been
dull, but out of the market there has been a good deal
done by direct deliveries and by sales by the commission
hands. Prices continue steady—the stock of seasonable
goods is low—and the mills continue to be pretty well
employed. A moderate amount of business has been done
in the warehouses this week, and the trade is considered
steady and healthy.

BRADFORD.—WooI : There has been a very limited
business doing throughout the week, and spinners buy
very dispiritedly. In prices there is no change.—Yarns :
The transactions are of the same character as for several
weeks past, both as regards demand and prices.—Pieces
The political intelligence appears to have engrossed the
attention of nearly all parties, and business has almost
been neglected,

NOTTINGHAM.—There is not any improvement in
business in either of the staple trades connected with this
town. The price of yarn remains unaltered.
LEICESTER.—Except in the glove branch, which still
remains flat, a good seasons demand continues both for
plain and fancy hosiery. Worsted yarns remain firm, and
the spinners are fully employed. There is not so much
demand for wools, which appear for the present to have
touched the highest price.
