MANCHESTER. April 25.-The Guardian says:
Prices are fairly well supported, although
some producers have shown an eagernesS for
business and in some instances even slight
weakness. The slackness of the demand for
India staples at even an approach to regular
rates continues to give the market dull APP
pearance. The steady flow of miscellaneous
orders daily causes steadiness. Orders are uu-
evenly distributed however, and for that reason
sellers give contradictory accounts concerning
the progress they are making. In some cases
the narrowness of margin between yarn and
cloth is so marked that manufacturers are stop

is an undoubted tendency to curtail the produc
ton of cloth. For export yarns there is a slow
demand and few orders of Importance are put
through Home manufacturers some of whom
bought freely on Friday, were yesterday very
cautious. Reports from cloth departments are
not encouraging. There is widespread com
plant of difficulty in realizing remunerative
prices. Manufacturers are therefore, not
anxious to enter into long contracts, but prefer
to accept the best orders possible for short de-
livery, in order to prevent the accumulation of
stock, and at the same time to avoid the neces.
sity of stopping the machinery. Inquiry for
India and China staples is small. with moderate
business. Jaconets are well under engagements
and more looms have recently been turned to
production of these goods The current supply
is abundant. The demand for printing cloth
does not improve. Prices steady"

Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar says: In consequence Of better Liverpool
advices our market for cotton certificates
opened points higher on old and points on
new crop months. On the first call cotton was
freely offered and sold by houses representing
New Orleans accounts, but meeting with a very
fair demand such supplies were taken care of,
and room operators, feeling that prices would
not give way. commenced to cover under such
demand. Also assisted by some new buying
orders, prices advanced sharply S points and
fully held up to the close. In anticipation Of
May notices, which will be issued tomorrow, a
good many May contracts were transferred to
more distant months. The market closed 500
points higher than last night. The demand for
spots continues brisk and prices remain firm"
