MANCHESTER, Oct 2.-The Guardian saws:
Inactivity does not seem TO he nearing an end
The market is slow and lifeless. Ordinary bust
ness only reached the average If Tuesday. For
most directions, especially for the east, busine
was quite immaterial Buyers pay current
rates readily for such small quantities as are
actually required, but they generally hold OFF
for concessions where they have orders OF fair
magnitude In the cloth department the con
cessions demanded are not practicable in view
of Improbable margins between prices OF goods
and yarns. Spinqers are mostly in somewhat
better position in this respect, and uld be
glad to accept contracts extending some time
forward at Tuesdays prices for yarns Such
contracts however, they find it impossible to
obtain. The export demand is extremely Door
Home manufacturers are not willing 10 buy
ahead. Yarn buyers are not disposed to regard
present quotations as insecure Full time has
been resumed in the spinning department, but
there has been no increase in the number of
looms WORKING. Oie cause OF the recent scarcity
was the extra demand for articles for export
which began last year TIE demaud ceased
several weeks ago, and is not likely to revive.
There is, therefore. disposition to anticipate a
fuller supply of yarns for home consumption
and somewhat lower prices On the other
hand, lessened production of cloth. which has
not yet had time TO influence distributing mar
kets, is regarded as likely to lead To freer in
quiry for goods later Yarns are extremely
quiet. Few sales of Importance have been made
in any department. Exporters have made few
inquiries, but have done little. There Is little
inquiry Tor India and China staples. The Cat
cutta market re-opened Mon1ay after the holi-
days. There is no improvement in the demand
Tor other productions. Cloth is only moderate.
Sales OF printing and other finishing goods are
small. Heavy goods are slow. There is a firm
demand for miscellaneous goods

upon the news of q killing frost at Ell Paso
