MANCHESTER MARKETS.
MANCHESTER, Sept. I8.-The Guar
dian in its commercial article says:
There has been a little increase in bust
ness due to the conclusion Of few mod
crate forward contracts. Spot business
is trivial India merchants are con-
cerGed at the smallness Of the practical
demand. They occasionally make better
progress than last week. There are
some inquiries from China, but me--
chants find little low enough to meet the
requirements. The demand from smaller
foreign markets is trifling. Export yarn
bundles are in slow demand for
the East. Inquiries from the continent
are chiefly for small amounts, although
there are a few tentative inquiries for
quotations for more important lots for
forward deliveries. Home manufacture
eTs have done a retail business for
prompt delivery. Cloth is dull, but
prices are steady for early delivery.
Some orders TO be completed at the close
of the year have been accepted at a lit
tie under current quotations. These,
however, are mostly confined to light
goods, composed of Egyptian cotton.
Printing and other finished cloths and
heavy goods are steady.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Sept. l8.-The stock mar
ket today was again quite dull. While
lis temper underwent a change from
strong to weak, and while fluctuations
were still confined to the smallest frac-
tons in most of the list final changes are
generally in direction of lower figures.
The market closed dull and weak at
about the lowest prices of the day. Final
changes for the day are for fractional
amounts only and declines are in the
majority. K
Z Railroad bonds were dull, and while
rather firm in the foreneSnss became weak
