| MANCHEsTER, May l6.-The Guardians says
Although the market is not idle. it is far from
active in any department The business trans
acted yesterday was not up to the average of
| tuesday, owing to slacknesS OF effective de-
mands. Prices are fairly firm and the prevail
| ing tone is steady, notwithstanding some in
stances OF slight weakness. Many producers
| are fairly well supplied with orders, but the
margin is poor while prices are low, even to
| the views of buyers. A moderate daily miscel-
laneouS demand suf1ices to prevent pressure to
| sell and secures urgent sellers against serious
sacrlnces, Buyers and sellers are alike cautious,
| though the desire to sell is uppermost There
Is Iar inquiry for India, while that for China is
| Slnau. OfterS, however, are not sufficiently
| high, and much business remains unexecuted
| Buying for smaller foreign and home markets
is moderate. Although numerous orders have
been placed, none of them have been of import
| demand for
| slow. Some spinners have accepted offers
which they would have declined a week ago,
Home manufacturers have bought sparingly,
although they have occasionally been able to
| purchase at slightly easier terms than on Fri
day The cloth trade has not improved. There
Is rather more inquiry for India staples. Pro-
| ducers, who presslngly want orders, have &C
| cepted prices which they refused a week ago.
| They are little inclined, however to enter into
| long forward engagements. There is moderate
| inquiry for China and but little actual business
| is doing. The printing cloth market is quiet
| There have been few moderate sales of lower
| reeds and numerous small sales of other finish
| ing goods Plain heavy goods are steady, and
II Is difficult to effect sales in any large guam

CHICAGO. May 16.-Had the tone of the mar
kets for the day been judged by the opening
prices on Change, the JOY of the professional
bears would have been full. Wheat differed
from everything else in having its opening
the bottom for the day. Before noon, however
there was such bulling of the market that prices
advanced 1910 from opening figures. II was. as
the bulls regard it, another stride toward the
dollar wheat The advance was not on cables
