MANCHESTER, Feb s.-The Guardian says:
There has been no betterment in business.
Where orders for quantity OF goods are IN the
market the prices obtainable are not sufficient
to render them practicable. Occasionally an
agreement is effected where buyers and sellers
strongly desire progress. These TRANSACTIONS
are severely contested Otherwise there Is
moderate trading at regular rates. The prices
obtainable for India staples and some kinds for
China are poorer than those of three weeks ago,
which were unsatisfactory. Inquiry from south
America, the Levant and Egypt has lately les
Sened somewhat and, although some houses
are showing little more activity, operations are
on rather small scale. The position or pro,
ducerS regarding the extent OF engagements ana
stocks is very variable Those who are well
fortified with orders continue firm with respect
to that portion of the production sold ahead,
but daily fresh contracts are needed and herein
they displaced to listen to offers near quota
tlouS Cloth is less irregular than yarns. tues
day &esineSs was light. Export yarns, when
remained steady until last Friday, in many
cases showed decided weakness. Home manu-
facturers maintain their previous caution, ana
although they are generally able to purchase on
easier terms, they are not willing TO order IN
quantity. Sellers of cloth make little progress.
Offers are made for fair quantities of shirtings,
mulls, and jaconets for India, but often at from
gas per cent. below the views OF sellers. Actual
business is moderate There are some China
orders for Shirtings and sheetingS pending at
offers of 10l1Sd below quotations. Best print
ing cloth is neglected. Medium is quiet. There
are some sales at irregular prices. Heavy goods
are inactive"

Green & Co. s report on cotton futures says:
| "There has been good strong market and quite
| a liberal addition made to values. Liverpool
did not afford much encouragement, was, in
| fact a trfe slack; but home influences proved
stimulating and created a buoyancy, on which
| 10011 point were made, closing at about the
| highest and very we'll sustained. Stiff bidding
| and prompt taking of offerings by bull leaders
| gave the first start, and much assistance was
afterward obtained by the falling away of re
| ceipts especially at interior points, causing
| quite general short covering and some little
new investments on the long side by local scalp
| ers. Not many new orders came IN, and during
| the afternoon larger bulls were thought TO be
! selling tritle."
