| MANCHESTER, Feb. 27-The Guardian says:
| Business does not indicate any betterment.
| The market is dull. The India and China de-
partmentS are especially inactive. Inquiry has
| lessened. The production Of Eastern staples IS
well under engagem MT In fact, manufacturers
| are in pressing need of fresh orders, although
the number of orders is increasing. Inc demand
| from minor foreign markets is slow; sales
| although occasionally numerous, are rarely OF
| much Importance singly. Altogether, bust ess
| yesterday did not reach the average OF tues
| day. Home and colonial houses are still acting
| carefully, and are rarely inclined to place or
| ders of Importance for forward delivery. The
| present disposition throughout the market
| seems to be to buy only ON hand to mouth.
| but it is agreed that the present abstinence
| must involve free buying later. There is HUE
1 aF,sytN for in Mt a
| small orders have been placed at near Fridays
| full prices. Home manufacturers buy sparlng-
ly. There is no sign that they anticipate hlgher
| prices On the contrary, there is prevailing
| expectation that tendency will be downward
| unless there is prompt revival of the demand
| for goods at current or better prices. Cloth is
| fairly steady. There is rarely sign of pressure
| or weakness. India and China shirtings are
| firm, although in few cases fresh business is
| much wanted Jaconets are weak. Orders in
some directions are strongly desired. The de-
| mand for dhootes is poor, but prices are firm.
| Printing and finishing cloths are slightly
| irregular. Some manufacturers are firm, and
| sometimes they are asking a slight advance
| while others are easy sellers at Fridays rates.
| There is a quiet but steady demand for heavy
goods usually in small quantities. Occasionally
| there are modeTa sales

The Suns cotton review says: Futures
| rejecting the market-well, there was no
market. Business was within the narrowest
| limits and prices tiuctuated only point,
| pit for March, which varied two points.
| There were no active influence unless smaller
| ceipts at New Orleans may be mentioned as
| one. The bulls are supported BY strong
| southern markets and smaller crop movements,
with the usual talk about exhaustion. Cotton
