MANCHESTER Nov. THE Guardian saws:
"Most departments are steady. There are many
orders OF Importance for India and China in the
hands of merchants and few for other outlets,
but the difference in prices offered and those
sellers are willing to accept does not appear to
be lessening. Transactions of magnitude are
rare. There was sufficient business in smaller
quantities in most of the departments to redeem
the day yesterday from dleness, still progress
was poor. Exporters to Calcutta and the far
east find their straits increased by advanced
freight quotations The rates to Bombay have
not been raised, but there is a combination of
ship owners which limits the tonnage to That
place and prevents its diversion from Calcutta.
The demand for smallsr foreign markets and
for home trade continues of small retail sort
Manufacturers still complain Of the narrowness
of their margins, and the running of mills on
short time still continues to prevail. There is
little business in export yarns. Prices are firm,
and manufacturers bought chiefly for early de-
livery. There was less inquiry for forward de-
livery Cloth is quiet. Manufacturers have pro-
greSsed moderately India inquiry is unusually
small, being mostly confined 30 medium and
low medium shirtings Some fair orders for
China staples are in hand but merchants a 70 I'M
able to put them through in small quantities.
Best printing cloths are mostly dull. Sales of
common and medium are unmportant, though
there were fairly numerous transactions in col
ored woven goods. The market was very quiet
Heavy goods are steady, and transactions are
moderate"

Chicago, Nov. IA stronger tone pervaded
the wheat market to-day, though at the same
time the feeling was unsettled and full outside
prices about sustained. Trading was moderate,
including some outside business. The opening
was stronger and priees14o higher than the
closing figures OF Mondny, and advanced ]s@Ac
more influenced by good buying orders. Then
it ruled easier. and prices, under fair offerings,
declined 1c. Renewed buying at the decline
again caused prices to react, influenced some by
private cables reporting an advance III Liver
pool This time prices advanced t1Sc for May,
with December widening to 214c discount, eased
off 1c again, recovered and closed about 134c
higher than Monday better feeling was de-
veloped in corn, values ruling stronger and
higher range of prices established. Trading,
however, was only of moderate volume, tran
sactions being mainly of local character The
principal feature was the strength developed In
November, this future being in fair demand,
while offerings were exceedingly light, the pre-
MUM of this month over December being as
high as l1ec at one time The market opened
1<6l36c higher than Mondays closing. Prices
ADVANCED lSk611J6c and closed 1sS021S higher.
There was little life to trade, either in cash or
future delivery. In oats the speculative bust
ness was conferred in May, and this future, in
sympathy with an improvement in wheat and
corn ruled firm with prices 1SM1zc improved.
At the same time there was for n az futures
rather neglected market, with values exhibiting
no material change. Trading in mess pork was
moderate and the market rather firm. Offer
ings were not very large, and the demand fair
and mainly for January and May deliveries.
The early market was firmer and prices were
advanced slightly, but with slightly increased
offerings reduction of 1215ml5c was submit
prices rallied 15c and closed comparatively
steady. comparatively quiet feeling pre-
vailed in the lard market, but considerable
strength was developed. Offerings were small
