MANCHESTER, March 6.--The Guardians com
me cial article says: THE market on the sur
face remains quiet and lifeless. The is no
sign of real activity in respect to actual bust
ness yet there is steady undertiow demand at
regular rates, which is sufficient to sustain
prices. There is rarely the slightest symptom
of weakness, India orders do not decrease seri-
ouSly. Inquiries for staple goods are constantly
received. Limits, however, are SO low that
business is practicable. There ara few sales f

buy, though seldom in large quantities. There

rent rate. There is quiet but steady demand
from South America and other m nor foreign
markets at prev Gus prices, which is sufficient
to prevent pressure to sell Home houses
continue to be cautious, yet they unable to
make any impression on prices. Manufa turars
are more inclined to lessen production than to
accept offers at prices below those recently
paid. Inquiries for export yarns are poor.
China and Japan shirtinrs are poor although
there is little fresh demand SINNERS are sulfi-
GENTLY fortified with orders to refuse low offers
The continental demand is slow. There are few
sa es. Prices are steady. There is quiet but
steady home demand for small quantities Cloth
is very quiet but steady. Buyers are unable to
place orders under Fridays rates. alt lough
occasionally they have pressing orders on hand.
India and China apes, especially shrtn rs,
are firm. Makers OF the widest width are able
to command full prices India fine and fancy
goods are dull Printing and other finishing
cloths are firm. Producers consider prc s ex-
| tremey low. A moderate business is reported.
There is fair inquiry for heavy go DIS for
export at former prices, though rarely in large
quantities. The home demand is weaker. Prices
are steady"

leans rep rting only 362 bIleS-but soon relapsed
into dizziness, but showing much less courage
and spirit than few days ago, the absence of
sellers being the main support of values After
the last call, however. there was renewed
strength. The small interior movement caused
some buying to cover, and leading operators
came forward as buyers for rise"
