MANCHESTER, March 2s.-The Guardian says:
''The tone of the market is slightly more cheer
full There has been an increased inquiry in
some departments, resulting in a little increase,
in business. There are some fair orders for
China. Staples have been in hand, moderate
proportion of which proved practicable. Buy
ing in few yarn departments has been some
what freer than that of last week. Prices are
unimprOved, however, and sellers have been
compelled to accept Fridays lowest quotations
after resisting lower offers. Producers are of
the opinion that no further decline is needed to
induce larger buying soon. Inquiry for India
is poor. There has been a little more business
for smaller Eastern and continental and South
American markets. Dealings in export yarns
were not great but orders TO a fair extent were
given for No 40 mule twist, some for Calcutta;
low prices were accepted. There is no business
for Japan, and very little for China and the con
tinent. Few home manufacturers increased
their purchases. A fair business was done in
the better makes of shirtings and sheetngs for
China. Producers of India shirtlngs and finer
lighter goods had a poor day. PNntlng cloths
were little sought"

Messrs Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar of to-day says: Our cotton market for GER
able public and private advices from Liverpool,
and, with some reaction, improved 1920 points
above last nights close. Prices tonight show
an advance of about 40 points above the lowest
figures reached Monday last. The liquidation of
short engagements continues, principally
stimulated by the desire to take profits and TO
close deals in face of approaching holidays here
and in Liverpool. Receipts showed to-day only
about SO per cent. of last years figures. which
gave our market an additional strength. So far
as our own advlces from Augusta and st. Louis
are concerned, we cannot learn positively
whether the small movement is due to exhaus-
tiOn to a Discrimination on the part OF holders
to sell. "
