MANCHESTER TRADE REVIEW.
MANCHESTER, ENG, March 19.-The Guardian,
inits commercial article, says the market is idle
The attention Of producers is devoted to the
question of coal supply. There is more coal
available in the spinning districts than in the
manufacturing districts. Fourteen thousand
looms were idle in Burnley yesterday morning,
and i, 600 more were to stop after the close of
work YESTERDAY. Many manufacturers, in
gins and dearness of fuel for their imme-
date wants, have determined to cease work
until the end of the miners strike. Buyers are
little affected. Distributing markets are slug
gsh, though inquiries from them and also from
India have increased. These inquiries, how
ever, mostly at imp racticable figures. Prices
are steady. Export yarn quiet. Impracticable
orders for best China shirtings are in hand; COM
mon kinds sell at extremely poor prices. Best
printers steady; there have been small sales.
Common printers dull. Heavy goods moving
slow. Sales Of cloth are light.
