MANCHESTER. March 1.-The Guardians COM
merclal article says: Business is dimlnutive.
The long stoppage of the spindles has disor-
ganized trade. There is no increase in the
demand that will enable manufacturers spin
ming their own yarn to make satisfactory pro-
gress. There is a small underlow of business,
mostly for Calcutta Business for China is
confined TO goods made from cheaply bought
cotton, on which sellers are content to receive
a small advance South American buyers com
plain of the difficulty in obtaining the various
kin IS Of goods their trade requires. This is
likely to result in the extension Of the business

NEW YORK, March The suns report says:
I'm cotton, the most striking event OF the day
was the sudden appearance of the Hatch bill.
which was supp sed to be as dead as 'Banquo,
to stay in its grave. Hatch called ii
up and this sent cotton prices down.
Then the House refused to suspend the rules
and take vote on the bill, and this caused a
wheel. Early in the day prices declined
partly on account of unfavorable
Liverpool news There was no confirmation
of yesterdays report that some of the
mills in England were resuming work.
But later on spool advanced, partly owl to
buying from this side, and all the leading cot,
ton markets closed slightly higher With the
Hatch bill out of the way, English news will
again sway the markets for cotton. The con-
viction is quite general that at no very distant
day the operatives will either be forced to
accept the masters terms, or there will be a
compromise, and IN any event that the strike
will not be continued much longer. Prices de
clined 6 to points, recovered this and advanced
: points, closing TO points up for the day and
steady, with salt of 221 200 bales Spool declin
