MANCHESTER, May 2.-The Guardians com
mercial article says 1.-The progress of business
is hindered by the efforts OF producers in many
departments TO recoup themselves for an ad-
vance in American and East Indian cotton,
which efforts are fruiteSs, because the demand
does not warrant better prices, especially for
lndla and China, on account of the fall in eX-
change. Transactions in all departments are
light. Sellers rarely even slightly improve Fri
day prices. There is moderate business for
lesser foreign and home markets. buyers mostly
confirming their purchases TO their actual re-
qurementS. telegram from Japan reports
the yarns and goods market decidedly fiat The
demand was suddenly arrested. Rapid changes
were Il marked feature. There is moderate
business yarns for nearer foreign markets, and
few transactions for India and China. Some
home consumers purchased freely where they
felt confident concerning the future course of
prices. Purchasers, however, were not numer-
Gus, consumers mostly acting with caution.
Progress i'll the cloth department is mostly poor.
Wide Shirtlngs are very quiet, but are fairly I'M
der contract. Ordinary widths are slightly
dearer. Few sales even of moderate amount
are possible The same conditions prevail in
regard 70 jaconettS. Wide dhooties are firm
and well sold. Orders for narrow are wanted.
Best printers are very dull aud occasionally
heavy. Stocks are moderate. The demand for
common is mostly at low prices, of which man
ufacturers Complain. There is fair inquiry
for heavy goods

Messrs Hubbard. Price & %. s cotton circu-
lar says: 1--WE had an active market for cotton
certificates, and fluctuations were erratic and
numerous. Our advance of yesterday give us
this morning fair report from Liverpool, and
our market opened firm at last nights prices.
Assisted by some buying orders for Southern
account, prices advanced 2Qg3 points, and OBJ
talned further advance of points on light
New Orleans receipts, which show only $50
bales against /, 100 bales last week at this time,
when sellers were scarce and everybody seemed
disposed to buy, prominent German house,
known to operate for foreign account, became
free seller, and this action gave the signal for
quick and decided reaction A few minutes be-
fore nobody had anything for sale, but now
everybody wanted to sell The fact that the ad-
vance of the past few days has to a considerable
extent led to covering on the part of room
shorts and nervous bears, and further created q
new long interest, seems to have taken the
power away TO support increased cost. The
pressure to sell became more pronounced when
the press dispatches reported possible trouble
between Turkey and Greece. From the highest
sold to-day prices lost ii points for old and so
6 points tor the new crop, closing weak and
from 461S points below yesterday. Spots were
steady at 1-l6c advance, but sales were light.
The enhanced price Of contracts in our market
attracts shipments from the South to this port,
and we hear of liberal movements in this direc
