MANCHESTER, Feb. 29.-The GudrdtGn SAYS:
The experience of sellers regarding the
progress of business is not encouraging, Prices
are in most cases steady, but occasionally there
is tendency slightly in favor of buyers.
Sellers, however, are content to await the
course of events. There is moderate inquiry
for some, kinds of India staples but often the
sales offered or time fixed for delivery are I'M
satisfactory. The inquiry for China and Japan
is smaller and there have been but few transac-
lions. Home houses are buying sparngly by
reason of the severity of the weather and the
reluctance of distributors to purchase for the
spring trade until the weather becomes milder
Minor foreign markets continue to take mode
rately. A few sales of bundled yarn have been
effected for Japan and India, where sellers did
not insist upon extreme prices but none of the
foreign markets have done an average business
Home manufacturers have bought carefully.
They are discouraged by want of life in the
cloth departments, which are quiet throughout
Producers of India goods especially OF the
lighter classes, hold contracts in sufficient num-
bers to prevent the necessity of pressing sales
Prices are steady. The same remarks apply
with equal force to China staples. Best printers
are steady. Manufacturers are better fortified
with orders than they were three or four weeks
ago. Medium and common grades are slow,
and stocks are tending to increase"

Messrs Hubbard, Price & Co. say: THE
feature of the day has been the unlocked for
strength of Liverpool under the depressing re-
ports sent yesterday from our market. The
opening cable advised a quiet tone, with sellers
at 1-64d advance. Later advices showed much
tirmneSS This better feeling surprised the
market here, and prices at the opening ad-
vanced 1Gl2 points declining then slightly
below last night S quotations under small busi-
ness, but advancing quickly on buying orders,
which closed with prices at the highest of the
day. The losses of stock at Memphis and st.
Louis are noted. New Orleans receipts for to-
morrow are tel graphed as 1900 to $500 bales"
