MANCHESTER, Jan. 30.--The Guard ans com
mercial article says: The market is almost
lnaninate, Few sellers yesterday did the
average Tuesdays business India and CHINA
departments very quiet, but inquiries con
| tinue. New moderate orders were placed at
| Friday rate. Most Indian staples are SO well
under contract that producers are apathetlc
| regarding the quletness. TINS is also the case,
| though in u less degree. with China goods eX-
| tr7me quotations, however, have vanished The
! market is weaker. There is moderate and
| fairly distributed demand for elsewhere chiefly
| for small quantities. Inquiries for export pur-
| poses are few, and altogether of little import
| auce. Most kinds of bundled yarns are well
| sold. Prices are firm, but some splnnerS are
ready sellers at recent full rates. t Ie cloth
! market is quiet but steady, with small central
business at about previous rates. There are
moderate orders ior few makes Oh Ihula s
| staples, chiefly shirtings. Some have been
| placed. There are some offers of China shirt
| ings and sheetin and Mexlcans, but they are
mostly at figures too low for acceptance. Prin-
| tera and finishing cloths are steady. Current
| prices as a rule, are below the cost of produc-
! ton, and tn ugh sellers meet small current
| demands freely, they are often disposed to in
| Sst upon higher rates. There is a quiet and
| fairly distributed demand for heavy goods in
| small quantities. y

| Hubbard Price & Co, in their cotton circular,
| say: The market to-day has failed to realize
| the antcipatons of the bulls, and prices for
| certificates here are some two to three points
! lower, with apparently less interest displayed
| in the course of fluctuations than yesterday.
| Liverpool also dlsappol ted bull expectations,
| in view of the strong feeling here yesterday
| Receipts at the ports are not up to eXpecta-
| tons, and the movement at known interior
| towns no longer attain the mammoth proper
tions cf asst year There is coed inquiry in
! this market for spot cotton both for export and
