THE CLOTH MARKET.

Manchester, Nov. 29.-There was a
large inquiry for cloths throughout
the past week. resulting in considerable
transactions. The market was strong,
with a hardening tendency, though
during the latter part of the
week the advance in cotton checked
operations. Makers frequently declined
to repeat recent sales, being dissatis-
fed with the margins. Buyers, how
ever, are acting cautiously. Calico
bought largely. Cheaper and lighter
fabrics were mostly favored, though
there were reported sales of shirtings
which lately have been comparatively
neglected.
= Operations for the China market are
increasing Finished goods We're in de-
mand at improved rates throughout
the week, but the dealings in gray sta
pies were not important. The Levant
and South American markets are
more active, though transactions were
limited.
The general improvement in the
market has started number of looms
in Blackburn, which have been idle for
months. There was little change in
yarns last week. A fair miscellaneous
inquiry was, noted, however, which re-
suited in business being done where
producers did not hold for the full adj
vance shown by cotton.

aggressive buying by the big bulls,
some covering by shorts, and latterly,
cold weather. There was also much
talk about the forthcoming bureau es-
innate of the crop, concerning which,
although the bulls profess the utmost
confidence in very small figure there
is great uncertainty in the trade.
Inc movement was very large, again
exceeding 100000 bales, and the 5,O0O,-
OOO bales by Dec. l, predicted here
month ago, is assured. By far the
heaviest comparative movement is in
Texas, where receipts were enormous
rms supports the recent statements
that over large part of the state the
top crop is turning out much better
than had been believed possible.
Probably there never has been a bu-
reau report awaited with more anxiety
than the one due this week. It is ex-
pected to afford something authorita-
tive in the way of furnishing a reason
able estimate of the actual yield, and it
will no doubt be so accepted. General
ly speaking, it is likely to be a quarter
to half million under the actual fig
ures, owing to the great amount of
small and late planting this year in
unusual localities. Around 10000 900 to
10, 100000 bales it would probably not
have much immediate effect. Should it
prove much smaller or much larger
than the average named, it will no
doubt exert a decided influence one way
or the other.
With the crop about three weeks late,
the amount in sight to Dec. 1 ought not
to be more than about 40 per cent
of the crop, by comparison with for
mer years, and particularly as the pres
ent rate of movement is on such
phenomenal scale. On this basis, the
crop should be, as previously estimated
here. about 100000 bales.

BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Will Street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street.
New York, Nov 28.-The most note
worthy feature in the market is the
differentiation between railroad shares
and the industrials; the latter being
weak and irregular while the former
are generally strong and scored unex-
pected recoveries. AS already init
mated in these advices, this was the
inevitable result of exhausted liquida-
ton and improved financial conditions.
The whole trouble had centered in Wall
street, and any improvement there was
certain to be reflected in values of Sc
curities having intrinsic merit behind
them. 1t is quite likely that the bull
contingent seized the first opportunity
for lifting the market, an opportunity
long desired: and there is no doubt
they had the moral if not the actual
support of big banking interests which
they expected to float very shortly
In this connection it is worth noting
that the railroad situation continues
very satisfactory. Earnings are larger
than previous banner years, and many
of the well-known roads are earning
much in excess of present dividends.
One thing is as sure as any business
condition can be, and that is that there
will be no reduction in the dividends of
the we'll established and we'll managed
railroads, the margin of profit being
already so ample that a moderate con-
traction of expenses or Improvements
will insure the stability of dividends.
There are now two distinct parties
on the Stock Exchange: one bullish on
railroads, and another bearish on the
industrials. Whether such opposing
conditions will stimulate activity or
not remains to be seen. Much no doubt
will depend upon the Northern Securi-
ties decision from the United States
Supreme Court, which is expected next
month

The following is from the Liverpool
Journal of Commerce:
Messrs. Rankin. Gilmour & Co., 81
South John street, the owners of the
Liverpool steamer St. Dunstan, have
received letters from Capt. Fortay Civ
ing particulars of a timely rescue of
a shipwrecked crew on that vessels
homeward passage from Savannah to
Bremerhaven. He reports that at a.
m. on Monday, Oct. &c, he sighted a
vessel showing signals of distress, bore
down upon her and found that she was
the schooner Nesta, bound from Cadiz
to st. Johns. N. F., and that she was
in a disabled condition, and the crew
requested to be taken off, as they wish
ed to abandon their vessel. Owing to
the state of the weather and the heavy
sea that was running at the time, Capt
FOrtay decided to stand by until day
light when the ST. Dunstan was hove
to to windward of the schooner, and a
lifeboat launched, in charge of Mr.
Spicer the chief officer belonging to
Liverpool, and manned by a volunteer
crew, was sent Ito the rescue. The
work of taking the men off the wreck
was a difficult one and attended with
great danger, but after several at
tempts the boat succeeded in taking
off the whole of the crew-fve men
all told. After the men had been taken
aboard the lifeboat Capt. Fortay navi-
gated his vessel to leeward of the
wreck and picked up the lifeboat. The
Nesta was abandoned in latitude 1880
north, longitude 29.40 west, and was
partially dismasted, bulwarks gone and
decks swept, and Capt Davis was of
the opinion that she would probably
founder soon after abandonment"
Capt. J. C. Fortay of the steamship
st. Dunstan is we'll known and popu-
lar in Savannah.
