MANCHESTER, April 2.-The Guardian saws:
The nearneSS of easter tends 60 increase the
number of small transactions and to lessen the
desire to enter into large speculative engage
mentS. Buyers pay heed only TO the state of
distributing markets, between which and Man
chester a struggle in regard to the establish
ment of better prices is proceeding. There are
nQtOIhteI signs That apHlnVlV SLOW ma
ward movement is in progress abroad as well as
at home. Occasional impracticable offers for
important quantities for india and China. which
nave been hanging oD)ut tor several days, have
been slightly improved, but not to a sufficient
extent to warrant their acceptance Actual
eastern business is moderate. For elsewhere
the market is quiet There is a moderately ac-
tive inquiry for export yarn, but there is little
business. The difference between the views of
buyers and sellers has narrowed in respect to
important orders. There is little buying for
home consumption but printers are firm, with
a steady demand. Medium and low reeds are
firm. There are few important transactions
Inquiry for heavy goods is moderate -

The Suns cotton review SAYS: Cotton
futures were firiner but dull The Liverpool
market disappointed our bears, who, III a small
way, bought to cover. The full estimate of
port rece pts caused only momentary depTes-
sion, and the latest figures were among the
best for the day. The demand for April con
tracts was something Of a feature and an ele-
ment of strength. Veterans in cotton trade
say the floods will not be of much consequence
as regards delay in planting. but greatly in
crease the danger from worms"
