THg Manchester Guardian OF the 22d, Il
lis commercial article, says ''Thc markc
, is very quiet, but very firm. A summar
shows that the business done at Tuesday
, market and during last week, though III
: distributed, has given 10 some depart
ments n strong appearance, and has tendc
: 20 support prices. In the other depart
ments there has been but little fresl
practical business Of importance. Tn
transactions, however, have been rs n rnl
! strictly moderate. The inquiry for Indi
! has been hardly up 10 the average, but
l moderate proportion OF the inquiries aftC
much haggling led 20 actual transactions
/ For China there Is but little demand
\ Leading makes continue well sold eth,
, through firInncss or the time required 4
I. delivery. Buyers some time find II diff

I qniry for south Africa and the Ievan
!, largely for special makes. The transa
y tons on the whole are light The hon
: trade II quiet. The export yarn depar
y mcnts arc inactive. The demand for sil
Gle and two folds for China and Japan HI
not ceased, but recent free buying h

chants. Home consumers have done littl

I. departments have done hardly an avera
