MANCHESTER, April 1.-THE Guardian says:
There is inactivity in every leading depart
ment Buyers have contented themselves with
small purchases. Although occasionally sellers
have been easier in their terms than on Friday,
they nave more frequently SHOWN much Steadl-
ness. There is doubtless a strong and increas-
ing desire for fresh business in several direc-
tions, but it is not sufficient to induce producers
to yield. Few orders for China staples have
been met with, but offers rarely accepted.
Important practicable orders for India care
scanty. Where an average business has been
DONE sellers have only accomplished il by yield
ing in prices. The demand for South America
is poor. There is rather more demand for the
latter. though there is no notable increase in
business. Home trade houses are buying little
more freely: Export. yarn departments are
very dull. The inquiry is light. Sellers for
home consumption are making but little pro-
gress. Cloth is very quiet There is much diff
ference in inquiry in the various departments.
Chilli shiTtings and sheetingS and MeXicans are
occasionally inquired for in fair quantity. Sales
have been light Offers are often below quota
tons, which are adhered to. India staples are
in poor demand at current rates; but little bust
ness is doing. Printing cloth is dull; stocks,
especially of the commoner kind are increas-
ing. There is some increase in inquiry for
home trade Sales of finishing goods have been
