MANCHESTER, April !0.-The Guardians says:
'The market is strong and tlat-strong because
of the steady hardening OF prices of raw
terial and the necessity for producers striving
to advance or maintain previous rates. and felt
because of the difficulty of making progress
and the impoSsibility of obtaining an advance.
The aspect of the India business is dscouraging.
Goods are speedily accommodating at Indian
ports. No fresh orders are coming forward.
Manufacturers are alarmed at the prospect.
The same conditions prevail to lesser degree
in regard to China business. 1t is probable that
there
will be partial stoppage. The demand for ex-
port yarns is weak. There are few orders for
the continent Eastern buyers have done little.
Cloth is steady and prices are hardening. The
market is inactive. Best printers are firm, but
the demaud does not improve. Common
printers are steady; Fancy goods are dearer,
and are mostly well sold. Heavy goods are
quiet, with slow demand"

CHICAGO, April 1O.--The volume OF business
in wheat was not as great as that Of yesterday,
though still of fair proportions. The feeling
was a little unsettled aud prices were advanced
somewhat above yesterdays closing, but the
full improvement was not sustained. May
opened weaker aud advanced 29sc above inside
figures, receded and closed about 16c higher
than yesterdays closing. June advanced 2abc,
declined lSAc, and closed Ac higher than yester-
day, July opened at about yesterdays closiny,
eased off NC and then advanced 1c, became
weaker and declined l2sc, and closed about 14c
lower than yesterday. The advance brought
out rather free offerings, parties who had
ize and increased offerings created the subse-
quent decline. Shorts, too, had covered freely,
and there was less demand. There was some
buying for May delivery, credited to parties
who were identified with the bull interest, while
trading in more deferred futures was general
Fair business was transacted in corn and the
feeling was easier. Longs we're selling out and
lower than yesterdays closing huctuated fire.
quently within sc range and closed 14c lower
than yesterday An unsettled feeling developed
In oats and prices were irregular Good busi-
ness was transacted The price for May was
bid up L619kc. but at the advance free selling
was indulged In by longs, weaker feeling de-
veloped and the appreciation wGs lost. Pork
