| MANCHESTER, Oct. 1.-THE Guardian saws:
| NO material progress is evident. Some few
| producers made better progress than lately bnt
others report greater difficulty in selling.
| Altogether. therefore, business is quite as dis
as 81 male
| actions ara concerned Little was done for
| India and China. Sales of -Luckheeday In Cal
cutta are estimated at 80, 900 packages, against
| 4o,0uO packages in 1887. Business was chiefly
in early delivery goods. and these were sold
| mostly to the importers who had previous con
| tracts to fill. Native Indian dealers largely
avoided entering into c contracts for forward ae-
| livery. This was mainly due to the higher
price asked, and also to the full supplies on
| hand. There was little inquiry for China and
| Japan. Minor foreign markets have taken
| small quantities, Home houses, though more
| disposed to operate, have not begun to pIL-
chase more freely. Some orders of no great
| Importance altogether were giving for export
yarns for India and the continent, but generally
| the foreign demand was sluggish. Home manu-
| Tacturers confine their purchases to supplying
| actual immediate needs, declaring that prices
are beyond their reach. Reports from tae cloth
departments generally are unfavorabe. Manu-
| facturers are greatly dissatisfied with the prices
| ohtanable, and even with these there is little
progress. Some decline to take orders for for
ward delivery except at higher prices. The pro-
| duction of many kinds Of cloths have been
sensibly reduced, but the distributing markets
Stubbornly resist all efforts to establish higher
| rates. Most kinds of India and China staples
! are very firm Some are slightly hardening
but producers effect few fresh sales, ana have
to content themselves with the execution of
| previous orders. Printing and other finishing
cloths are firm, with small orders. Heavy
goods are quiet. with a slow demand chiefly
for small quantities"

| Hubbard Price & Co. S cotton circular says:
| The market opened at advance of 1903
! points. Extreme dullness prevailing, aided oy
later news from Liverpool that the improve
ment there had been partially lost, was the
Chief factor in depressing prices here, and the
| close, though quoted quiet and steady, showed
| a depreciation of one or two points from IN 2
| opening. In Liverpool we learn that specua-
tors are long of October, while importers are
| greater strength of that position as compared
with later ones. Frelghts ere still scarce, there
| being but thirty seven vessels loading cotton
| against nlnety-one last year, but 103 are now
| pointing towards our ports"
