MANCHESTER, Feb. 25.-The Guardians com
mercial article says: Although the market is
still dull, more business is done Bold buyers
are of the opinion that prices have settled to a
safe level. Buying is irregularly distributed
and Is partly of q speculative character. Pur-
chases are more in the direction of plain goods,
though orders for particular sorts are being
more freely placed. Export yarn is rather
| dull. Spinners have occasionally accepted
] large orders which they refused a week ago,
I and thus increased their business. Prices are
irregular, and generally show a decline. Manu-
| facturers of home yarns are more active. Plain
shirtinRs are moderately steady. Sellers who
are pressed have accepted orders at lower
rates. There is a better inquiry for printing
do AVA Nrat ~ va1l soil
small orders have been received. Heavy goods
are steady There Is a fair demand FOR homs
and Mediterranean markets."

The Sun's cotton review says: Futures
| opened at Q points advance, bur presently de-
| Glued closing quiet at Cos points decline from
| yesterdays closing prices The people who
were puzzling themselves about the advance In
| prices yesterday had no trouble on that &C
| count oday. The morning hours were de-
voted to ftful struggle to maintain values,
aided by slight further Improvement in
| values at Liverpool. The parties to speculation
were alternately in the ascendant. But after
| the second call the bulls gave away along The
whole line, and prices rapidly declined, the
latest being about the lowest figures Of the
day. 1t was simply case Of what goes up
though liberal, presented no such excessive
figures as yesterday. But values had no artih-
cial support from demand to cover contracts
and the depression was the result of the with
drawal of that support Spot cotton was dull :"
