MANCHESTER, Feb. 6-The Guardians com
mercal article says: The market was rather
dull Few departments did an average Tues
days business yesterday. Sellers are much i'm
pressed ny the hardening tendency OF COTTON,
and are, therefore, not inclined to press for
fresh orders, except at extreme rates, and they
are rarely obtainable. Buyers would rather
wait than purcha e, in anticipation of the stua-
tiOu not being affected by the strength of cot
ton. There are some inquiries for India plain
staples, chiefly shrtings, but as a rule the
prices offered rarely exceed the lowest rates
current in December. AS they are now quoted
higher. the result is small sales Altogether
China merchants have few orders. AdviCeS by
telegraph are less encouraging than those by
NAL There is quite a steady business for
ualler foreign markets, but merchants are
cautious, and few are inclined to act in antici-
pa ion even where pric s are tenptingly lower.
Home houses are doing little, yet some depart
ments are more lively than a fortnight ago
The demand for export yarns is inactive. Few
important orders have been reported. Spinn rs
bold for Fridays full rates but these are rarely
practicable except for small quantities The
| home demand is light The tone of cloth is
| quiet Inquiry for India jaconets is poor. Few
orders on the market are practicable only at the
| lowest prices lately current. Inquiry for pri
ers and fms ing cloths is poor, yet the orders
in hand have been mostly executed, sellers
| readily accepting recent rates, although they
| will not submit to any decline. Heavy goods
| for foreign markets are st ady, with moderate
| sales There is little home inquiry

Hubbard, Price & Co, in their cotton circular
| to-day, say THE principal feature of to days
| cotton market has been the unexpected strength
shown by Liverpool and the execution of some
| very heavy buying orders for March contracts
| in this market supposed to be for Liverpool ac-
| count. the amount thus abso bel is variously
estimated at from 1000 to 10000 bales and all
| sorts of rumors are current with regard to the
| object of these purchases The general opinion
| seems to be that they were to cover short sales
| but there are some who Alieve that promi-
nent Liverpool firm, very successful this season
| in manipulating that market, have come into
! this arena with the intention of running the
| bull deal here
