MANCHESTER, Dec. i6.-The Guardians com
there has been in the market tends ia favor of
buyers. in sympathy with the decline in cotton
at Liverpool. Good progress has been made in
several directions, but this is frequently due to
concessions. Some trade reaches producers,
who are fairly employed. This, however, does
not relieve manufacturers, who are holding
stock and need business. The inquiry for India
and China is moderate and that for South
America small. Printing cloths are dull and
neglected. For heavy goods there is small in
quiry. Yarns are weaker. There is little ex-
port business"

yet fearing that they were needlessly worried
and little previous in their actions. Liverpool
was much in the same condition. but finally
closed at the best prices. THIS was more than
we did, for In the later dealings there was some
depression due to full interior receipts, and the
