MANCHESTER, March The G,drdian says:
tuesdays business was unusua ly light Prices
we're occasionally irregular. Tue prevailing
tone was steady. Sellers for the most part we're
not i clined to press sales. The Eastern trade
was very much hampered by the recent fall in
exchange and the difficulty of raising prices in
india and the far East to compensate. Orders
Tor minor foreign markets are not plentiful.
Buying for Italy has ceased, owing to the en-
torcement of general tariff on March 1, and
trade with the United States is temporarily
checked in consequence of the possible reduc-
ton of import duties. The weakness in cotton
Monday probably encouraged buyers to hold
Off. There has been small inquiry for export
yarns, but sales have been scanty since mer-
chants are not prepared to purchase even mod
erately, except at ungettable lower rates. Cloth
departments are quiet; there has been only
small amount of buying and but little inquiry;
GENTLY well under contract to prevent the
cessity of making concessions. Printing cloths
are dull. Common makes are offered more
freely. There Is more active business in home
trade houses in fancy and white goods. Cloths
and Mexicans and other heavy goods are quiet,
with slow demand"
