MANCHESTER. Dec. 2.-The Guardians COM
mercal article says: There is moderate bust
ness, owing to producers yielding slightly. The
demand for India is unusually quiet though IL
is occasionally better for small quantities
Some orders for China are placed, though few
are practicable. Want Of confidence in the
existing rates is increased by the weakness of
the Liverpool cotton market. The best makes
Of shirtings are steady and are sometimes we'll
sold. Dhooties are mostly under contract The
sales Of better printing and finishing cloths are
moderate. Heavy goods are steady. Yarns
are neglected and easier"

NEW YoRK, Dec. 2.-Tbe SUMS cotton review
says: Futures opened higher and made a
slight further advance, closing dull but steady
at 406 points dearer than yesterdays final
figures. Liverpool was somewhat eccentric TO-
day, opening points lower and closing points
higher. II was the advance In Liyerpools latest
dealings that caused the improvement in this
market, but the demand was mainly to cover
contracts. Although favored by better foreign
advices, reduced crop movement, and the low
prices now current, the market showed neither
activity nor strength, and after the morning
hours speculation was dull and higher prices
were barely maintained. Spot cotton was dull
and steady"
