MANCHESTER COMMERCIAL STATEMENT.
MANCHESTER, Feb. l3.-The GUARDIAN
in its commercial article says: Some de-
uartnents have slightly weakened. Oc-
fers that were in1practicable on Friday.
Usually shirtings and other staples winch
are wei sold are steady, as are also goods
which did not partake of the recent ad-
vance. There is a little new inquiry for
India, but it is most impTacticable. India
merchants state the high rate Of dis
count prevailing seriously interferes
with the distribution of goods at season
when there ought to be much activity.
There is some demand for China staples
at nearly regular prices, and some OF II
is likely to be executed. The smaller
foreign markets are taking moderate
supplies. Some home houses are buying
steadily, though not in large quantities.
The home demand, while good, Is espe-
cially slow. Some sellers of good prints
report a fair repetition of orders
for spring trade, while others
have had less than usual. Manu-
facturers of most kinds continue to COM
plain of the absence of profitable mar
gin Many looms are kept idle. Yarn Is
quiet There is little inquiry for export.
There are some China orders at low linn
its, but the demand from India and the
continent IS poor Home manufacturers
are not disposed to buy beyond their
strict requirements, although it is pos
sible for them to sometimes purchase
at easier rates than on Friday. There is
little progress in the cloth departments,
yet there are few signs Of anxiety to
sell India shlrtings are steady and well
under contract Jaconets are some
times offered at easier rates. China
shirtings and sheetings are unaltered,
although producers are ready sellers at
Friday s rates. In some instances they
would welcome fresh orders. The best
prints are firm with moderate business in
some directions. Common are unchanged
and are moving slowly. The foreign de-
mand for heavy goods is moderate, some
buyers purchase cautiously, though
steadily and altogether are doing little.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Feb. l3.-The stock mar
ket was divided to-day and W lille in some
cases the best figures of the past week
were reached in others the lowest prices
known for years were established The
general tendency Of prices was upward,
but grangers were still disturbing factors
in the situation and the weakness
displayed in those shares gave the rest of
the list a rather feverish appearance and
final changes are irregular. The market
finally closed active and strong, gener-
ally at small fractions better than first
figures.
The railroad bond market was again
comparatively quiet.
Government bonds were dull but firm
State bonds were dull but steady.
