The Prices Rather In Favor of tho IIuyer-.
Dry Goods Trade.
MANCHESTER, ENa,, oct. 13,-The
Guardian, in It's commercial article today,
Says The amount OF business done yes.
serdSy was on the whole moderate. A
large number Of sellers were present. In
most departments much less than the
average progress for Tuesday was made.
In only few actions was the experience
satisfactory, The disposition to purchase
Is rather weak. Purchasers are either
momentarlly satisfied with what they
have lately done or are hopeful OF seCur.
ing an advantage by waiting. Producers
are rarely inclined TO press sales, and IN
many cases are well satisfied with their
orders already secured, and although
ready to take further orders, they are not
disposed TO sacrifice much TO obtain them.
Thus the market, although quiet is
neither depressed nor fat. Prices, while
easier in some departments, do not show
general movement in favor OF buyers.
India and China business has been ex.
ceedingly light The buying has been
mostly for the smaller foreign markets
and for home consumption.
Large orders, however, are rare. There
Is but little inquiry for export yarns.
Some consumers are able TO purchase on
better terms than on Friday. The cloth
market Is very quiet, and Fridays ex.
treme quotations have been abandoned.
Often, however, where the production is
well engaged, much tlrmness Is shown,
this being the case with'higher reeds and
ordinary widths OF shirtings; but No. 10
reeds and under are occasionally weaker.
It is also observable that the higher and
lower grades Of printing cloth have be.
come irmer and that prices have harden.
ed by reason Of recent considerable pur.
chases for next season. Dhooties are
firm, though producers are occasionally
disposed to favor buyers. JacConets are
steady with moderate demand.
