MANCHESTER TRADE REVIEW.
MANCHESTER, ENG, March 26. The Guardian
in its commercial article says the market is
unsatisfactory to both buyers and sellers. Small
transactions are easily executed, but business Of
Importance is impossible. The difference be-
tween buyers and sellers, especially for the In
dian market, does not admit of a compromise.
There is scanty inquiry. Requirements for that
market are well supplied.
There is moderate business for home and
minor markets. In some of the cloth depart
Inents such as high reed printers position of
manufacturers is strong. Orders in hand are
sufficient TO enable them TO unhesitatingly re-
hand the situation in India shirtings is poor.
Many manufacturers urgently want fresh en-
gagements. The narrowness of the margin be-
tween cotton and cloth restricts sales. Persist
emily sluggish prices in distributing markets in
discouraging feature. Export yarns
8 little sought for except at prices much below
regular rates. Offers for quantity at slight con-
cessions would be accepted.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The stock market
showed a still smaller volume Of business to-
day, but there was on the whole better tone to
dealings than yesterday, and the result Of the
days operations is to leave almost everything
traded in slightly higher than last night. Fears
of q monetary stringency are fast disappearing,
but the bull leaders are apathetic and the bears
are disposed to be over cautious, leaving oper-
atoms from day to day in the hands of
professionals and room traders, who show
very little disposition to extend their
ventures beyond the day, and fluctuations are
confin ed within naTrowest limits. The expecta-
tation of a dividend upon Missouri Pacific made
it leader in limited upward movement.
which obtained drought the greater portion of
the day. A better outlook in the West helped the
Changers, but only Rock Island showed any
special strength. The market is almost all
higher, but no marked advances were made.
Railroad bonds were little more active to-
day. There were no special features to dealings
and while firm tone prevailed the movements
extremely small and few marked changes
shown tonight.
Government bonds dull but steady
State bonds dull and without feature.
