MANCHESTER COMMERCIAL STATEMENT.
MANCHESTER, Jan. &c The Guardian
in its commercial article says; The
market is almost nauimate. There are
few sales. Trades yesterday did an av-
erage Tuesday s business. a few mOdeT
ate orders were placed at Friday s rates.
Most India staples are so well under con-
tract that producers seem apathetic re-
garding the quietness This is also the
case, though in less degree, with China
goods. Extreme quotations, however,
have vanished. The market is weaker.
There is moderate and fairly
distributed demand elsewhere, chiefly for
small quantities. Inquiries for export
yarns are few and altogether Of little i'm
pOrtance. Most kinds of bundled yarns
are well sold Prices are firm, but some
spinners were ready sellers at recent full
rates. The market is quiet, but steady,
with small general business at about pre-
vious rates. There were moderate orders
for new makes Of India staples, chiefly
shIrtings. Some have been placed. There
are some offers for China shirtngs and
sheetings and mOhicans, but they are
mostly at figures too low for acceptance
Prints ana finishing cloths are very
steady. Current prices as n rule are be-
low the cost of production, and although
sellers meet small current demands freely
they are often disposed to insist upon
higher rates There is a quiet and fairly
distributed demand for heavy goods in
small quantities.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 0.-SpecUlatOTs are
still awaiting the final outcome Of the eff
forts TO create harmony among the rail-
roads III the West, and while now buying
of securities is confined almost exclusive |
" to bonds, no movement is made IN the !
stock markets. After the little squirt of |
yesterday the market drifted back again /
INTO the most extreme dizziness TO-DAY,
and dealings were principally scalping |
for eghthS and covering the operations /
of smaller bears The business done was |
only about two-thirds that of yesterday.
\ drive was made At Atchison, princi- /
pally for Boston account, but the result |
of the attack was insignificant.
Railroad bonds were still very active, /
although the aggregate Of sales showed 4 .
marked falling off from that of the past /
two days. The tone of dealings was not |
strong to-day and some /
bonds are lower.
Government bonds duh and steady.
State bonds duh and featureless.
