| MANCHESTER. Jan. l6.-The Guardian in its
| commercial article, says: THE market shows
little activity yet there is great lrmness liz all
| directions. Buyers find the market extremely
| strong, and often complain of the difficulty IN
| placing orders. Some of them are regrettul
| as if they saw little hope of resumption OF
| business on full scale at current rates, and
| apprehend a period of struggling and difficulty
| in distributing markets. Others are more hope
! full, expecting higher prices at home and
| abroad. Thus the upward movement has met
| with serious resistance, and there is q prospect
| of distinct conflict between buyers and sellers
| n a advantage.
| The tendency is upward in nearly all the de-
| partments; still current business is ylslbly
| lessening. Inquiry for export yarns is fair, but
| sellers have shown much strength, ana rev
| fresh contracts of Importance have been con
| Guided. Home manufacturers bought care
| fully, and sales were generally light. Altogether
| cloth is exceedingly strong. India shlrtings are
swell sold, and new orders can rarely be paced
Fat Fridays rates. DhootiCs are very strong,
| and are generally well sold Makers of jaconetS
| rarely command better prices. Producers of
| finer India goods generally make poor progress.
| Printing goods are steady, with an occasional
| hardening of prices. Finer reeds, however, are
| dull. Heavy goods are generally quite steady,
| with moderate demand and upward tendency

Hubbard, Price & Co. say: 'To-day's market
has been a disappointing one for the bulls, and
| the bears have gathered fresh courage to again
| attack values, with the result of reducing them
| 4 to points. The market gave way point by
| point, the local interest gradually veering to
| tho short side. The significant feature is the
rapid decline in the average weight of the bales
now being marked, probably 20 points less than
| earlier in the session"
