MANCHESTER, May l3.-The Guardians com
mercial article says: "Quietness prevails in
the market. Business yesterday was below that
OF Tuesday last. This was parity due to wants
being supplied, and partly to unconfrmed
rumOrs of financial difficulty IN London aud an
prehensions of higher rate of discount In
curry Ior lndla was poor There was some in
quiry for China at low rates. Little business
was executed. Most sellers are in too strong a
position TO yield. There was smaller business
for smaller foreign markets. There were a few
fresh orders from the home trade There was
a little fresh inquiry for yarn. Exporters are
buying in small quantities. Inactivity is giving
spinners anxiety. Home buyers purchased
sparingly. The production Of fine aud fancy
India goods is fairly engaged. Occasionally
sellers OF plain shirtings' are wanting orders
There was small but steady demand for most
kinds OF plain printing and fancy cloths suffi-
cient 90 keep that department fairly firm The
best makes OF every goods were strong. Pro-
duction is well engaged. Lower qualities were
slow of SALE"

The SUMS cotton reYiew says: Futures
opened lower, further declined, partially re-
covered, closing steady at 405 points decline
from yesterdays prices. Liverpool declined
264G364d. Values there seem to be quite
lacking in the support which the bulls recently
gave them, owing probably to very free ship
mentS now IN progress from this side. The ex'
ports from American ports thus far this week
are 44,109 bales, against $500 bales one year
ago This fully disposes of any excess in the
receipts at the ports, Light showers were re-
ported from the Carolinas, Georgia and Ala
6ama: and more rain was predicted. The bulls,
therefore, having nothing to support their
action. gave way, and prices receded under In
creased selling, but at SEC for August the de-
cline was checked and partial recovery fol-
lowed on a demand to cover contracts Spot
