BRITISH COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
MANCHESTER, Oct 1.-The Guardian,
In It's commercial article, says: No ma
terial progress is evident. Some pro-
ducers made better progress than lately,
but others report greater difficulty in
selling. Altogether, therefore, business

Business WAS chiefly in early. eliyery
goods, and these were sold mostly to
those importers who hsd already cor

inquiry for China and japan Minor for
eign markets have taken small quantities.
Home houses, though more disposed to
buy, hsVe not begun - purchase more
f :eely. Some orders Of no great impor-
tarce were given for export yarns for In
dis and the continent, bus generally the
foreign Gemsnd was sluggish. Home
manufacturers confiae their purchases TO
supplying their actual INN date needs,
declaring that prices sre beyond their
reach. Reports from the cloth depart

ufacturers are greatly dissatisfied with
the prices obisineble, and. even with
these there is little progress. Some de-
cline to take orders for forward delivery
except st higher prices. The production
of mxa7 kinds Of cloth has been sensioly
reduced, but the distributing markets
stubbornly resis. ell efforts TO establish
higher rates. Most kinds of India and
China staples are very firm. Some are
slightly hardening, but producers hsve to
content themselves with reduction
