MANCHESTER, Feb. THE Gudrdidn says
1.-THE volume Of business does not increase. The
market is quiet. There is a large inquiry for
India staples. Calcutta and Bombay both order
ing TO a fair extent but the limits OF offers are
mostly from TO per cent. below the lowest
acceptable rates. China business in quantity
has almost ceased, but the buying already done
has put producers in a strong strong position.
Most kinds suitable for that market are firm,
and well sold. For other directions transac
tons are light, buyers combining their pur
chaseS to requirements HOME trade houses
are buying more freely, although the movement
is SLOW Speculative purchasing is not apparent
IN any section, and at current prices buyers are
very cautious The position Of producers,
though fairly strong, is slowly weakening in
some cases, although daily business tends 10
check the dlYnward movement, since sellers
are not anxious TO accept extensive forward
contracts at present unsatisfactory rates. In
curry for export yarns is poor. Home con
sumers are doing little more. Cloth depart
mentS are quiet. Sales individually have been
of little weight. although they have occasionally
been rather more numerous. China shirtings
and SheetingS are firm but inactive. There is
little inquiry for India shirtings at current rates,
nut producers have taken more small orders at
prices which they would not accept on FRIDAY.
There is but little demand for printing and
other finishing cloths. Stocks are tending to
increase. Heavy goods are quiet, with mode
rate miscellaneous business"

Green & Co. s report on cotton futures says:
1T has been quiet market again, but pretty
steady and slight change in value, principally
in sellers favor. From abroad atviceS come
trihe slack, and as the figures for the port re
ceipts were recorded, a gaining tendency be
came apparent, but selling orders were less
plentiful and bidding strong enough to accom-
plISh the result noted. Large operators were
supposed to be pretty good buyers to start
with, and this stimulated local shorts into
covering on sales made yesterday From 4G6
points advance was made, with a partial set
back. but the close still a fraction above last
evening and steady"

CHICAGO Feb. There was better specula-

days, although it was delivery day. Delil cries
of grain were light. In the provision crowd n
million short ribs went round and that formed
the bulk of the delivery in that pit. There was
nothing apparently new in the outside situation
but locally everything was stronger and tended
