MANCHESTER, April 15.-The Guardians com
| mercial article says: The tone is not equal TO
that which characterized the market at the close
| OF last week. Fewer houses have done an
| average business Prices are occasionally
easier. Some sellers have executed fair
amount of business, while others have negotia-
lions still pending. Inquiry for quantities for
| India is restricted. The slack season in the
| Indian trade is rapidly approaching. Buyers
| wants are provided for until after the south
west monsoon. few moderate orders for
| China have been placed, and others are still
pending There is q steady demand for minor
| foreign home markets. The disproportionate
dearness OF the better grades of American cot
ton and the abundance of lower grades is lead
| ing spinners of Better grades to turn their at
| teutlon to lower kinds. There Is no improve
| ment in the yarn departments. There is little
| export business. The position Of cloth pro
| ducers varies. Favorite shirtings. best printers
| and other finishing cloths, and some twis and
| fancy goods, are generally well sold. There is
| steady business. Business in heavy goods is
| poor"

| The SUMS cotton review says: Futures
| opened slightly dearer, but soon weakened and
| good business was done at about yesterday s
| closing prices. In the last half hour some de
cline took place, but there a partial re
| covery and the close was steady at a slight de-
cline from yesterdays final figures The early
strength was due to comparative steadiness
which Liverpool exhibited, and that the steadi-
| ness was ascribed to more peaceful advices
| from the continent and dearer consols. The
| weakness in the latest dealings was due to in
creased offerings on sale. Some bulls unloaded
quite freely; one block OF 5000 bales came out
| at once TO be sold. This pressure abated, the
market steadied up little. Weather reports
from the south we're all good, but the crop
movements at the ports as well as at interior
| towns, was not al eXasperatingly excessive.
