MANCHESTER. April 1S.-The Guardian says:
The day business yesterday disappointed
many producers, who expected that more free
miscellaneous buying of the latter half of last
week would be followed by a moderate further
improvement. Although the market is not
idle business Is slow in most departments,
while in Others there is only moderate activity.
The slightly upward tendency of Eastern eX-
change has enabled merchants to put through
q few orders for India, which were previously
barely practicable. Altogether, however, bust
ness for the great Eastern markets has not been
important. large proportion Of the demand
is imperative in consequence of the recent de-
cline III exchange. South America, Ievant, and
other foreign markets continue to take mode
rate quantities, and home trade distribution is
improved. Export yarn departments are life
less Many splnners are becoming anxious for
fresh orders, as contracts booked are being re-
duced faster than is agreeable. Home inquiry
is poor. The cloth trade is lifelesS There is a
quiet but steady demand in some departments
for moderate parcels at previous prices Some
makes of India and China shirtings are in de-
mand at Fridays rates, but in many cases bust
ness is only possible at point below regular
quotations"

Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circu-
lar of to-day says: There is very little ami
nation in our cotton market to report, and fluc-
tuations of prices remain in exceedingly mar
row channels Liverpool gave us a f1rmer cable,
and our opening in consequence commanded Ia
points higher prices. Trading, however, re-
manned very limited. There is no dspq&Aon to
enter into any new engagements, and 80 few
deals which make up the small total figures
of the daily total sales are mostly of scalping
nature. Sales of actual cotton as officially re-
ported, remain small, but we understand from
well posted parties that there is a good demand
on the part of exports, and actual sales are
larger than those posted on the boards. Futures
closed quiet and steady at about points ad
vance since last night
