MANCHESTER Dec 19.-The Guardian in its
| commercial article says: There is no sign of
| animation, although in some instances sales
yesterday reached fair amount. Altogether
the business done did not reach the average of
| Tuesdays business. In some departments il
was decidedly small. Prices, however, were
| steady, and there was no sign of pressure to
| sell. Spinners do not abandon their estimate
| of 100000 bales as the minimum amount of
] the American crop, Notwithstanding numerous
| statements favoring 100000 or less as the
| probable amount of the crop. Spinuers, how
| ever, are reservng their opinion until definite
| Information is obtainable. There is a moderate
| inquiry for export yarns, and but few of the
| orders are practicable The business done has
| not reached the average. Buyers for home
| consumption have covered their present orders,
and are holding off in view of the slackness Of
/ the market. Cloth is quiet but generally steady.
| India and China shirtings are firm. The pro-
| duction is pretty well under contract generally.
Some makes are well sold ahead. The best
China qualities are strong at full prices, which
| merchants do not hesitate to pay, though they
| do not take large quantities. Agents find diff
| Guilty in putting through even moderate pro-
portion of the business offered Best printing
| been moderate Common are dull. Heavy
goods quiet, with fair demand"
