MANCHESTER, Dec. 12.-The Guardian, in its
commercial article, says: THE demand is slow.
The progress yesterday did not reach the gen.
eral average of Tuesday Miscellaneous bust
ness is not leSsened, but important transactions
are rare. The tone is quiet everywhere. Prices
are fairly supported, however Buyers are not
afforded better terms than on Friday. India
merchants, occasionally encouraged by better
ment in exchange, raise their offers, which re-
suits in some business, which was previously
impracticable. Sales, however, are lighter.
Manufacturers are confident and hopeful, de-
spite the disbursement in the narrow margin
between yarns and cloth. There is moderate
inquiry for export yarns. Forwarders of i'm
portance prove that impracticable offers are
being put under current rates Home manu-
facturers appear to have covered recently, en-
tered orders, and are now only supplying press
ing wants. Orders for India Shirtings in mod
crate quantities have been in market, chiefly
for medium and good medium, Some have
been placed at previous prices. The difficulty
in securing an early delivery is often hind
rance. Other India fabrics are steady, with
are acceptable except where manufacturers
urgently need fresh business. China staples
are firm. They rule too high in the opinion of
merchants. There is a better demand for print
ing and other finishing cloths. Sales are rarely
important. Heavy goods are quiet, with
steady demand. There is a slightly upward
tendency where production is well under con
tract

Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
1.-THE strength OF foreign markets and the mar
rowness of speculation here have been the prin-
cipal features attending upon to-day's opera
tions. Cotton receipts at the ports foot up
fairly good total, and upon the announcement
from New Orleans of a somewhat heavier
movement than was expected. determined at
tempt to break prices was made by the bears,
out they met with unexpected resistance from
a somewhat formidable quarter in large buying
of January, as a result of which the premium
between this month and more distant positions
was somewhat narrowed, and the market closed
with fairly strong undertone, and recovered
three or four points from the lowest prices of
the day. The preference of spinners for Texas
cotton this season was recognized in the revision
of spot quotations here that widened the diff
ference between Gulf and upland cotton &c"
