MANCHESTER, Dec 5.--The Guardian, in its
commercial article, says: 1.-The market has
shown much firmness generally. In a few in
stances sellers were less easy to deal with than
on Friday As rule. however. buyers easily
repeated Fridays purchases. India shirtings
continue to hold the best position among lead
ing staples. Further business IN moderate
quantity is being offered at previous rates. Pro-
ducers of these kinds of goods are so well sup
Piled with orders, they cannot always promise
delivery as soon as desired. There is little prac-
tlcable demand for other India fabrics. Chinese
merchants are not making great progress for
although they possess some fair orders, limits
are largely out, but slight concessions in GER
tain cases by either side would suffice to result
in important business. Of other departments
little that is cheering can be said, yet in some
OF them producers always have been selling at
rate exceeding the scale of production. The
tone is generally more hopeful, and the price
more regular, if not higher. Much of the pro-
duction. especially finishing goods is still so
freely offered that an advance, which is
so much needed, can as yet hardly be
reached, although doubtless the position of
sellers is steadily strengthening There is a
firm inquiry for export yarn for nearer
markets, and moderate business is done at
former prices. There are but few eastern
transactions. Home manufacturers have
bought mostly in small quantities
There is no new feature of importance
in the cloth department. Some makes
of fine and fancy finishing cloths are in rather
better demand. China shirtings are firm under
the influence of the Indian demand. Dhooties
are steady and well sold. Jacconets are in fair
inquiry. Orders are difficult to place. Best
printers are firm and in somewhat better in
quiry, although it is difficult to get full rates.
The common kind are less depressed The
betterment in the demand does not suffice to
establish higher quotations. There is a steady
miscellaneous inquiry for heavy goods at former
rates. There have been fair sales"

Hubbard Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
THE feature of the day has been buying, sup
posed to De for New Orleans account, of COM
paratively large blocks of cotton, but without
more than limited effect on prices. The move
ment continues light, and the relative cheap
ness of New York, as compared with other
markets of the world, render bears limited.
The bulls, however, still lack leader. and
while on every hand the strength of Manchester
is admitted, the absence of speculation and the
damper cast upon financial circles by weakness
in the stock market discourages those who look
for higher plane of values for cotton upon its
merits. The stock here increases slowly, and
is now 11S, 900 bales in warehouses The market
closed steady, with good undertone
