Manchester Market Report.

November 11. Buyers have been very reluc tant to place orders during the past. week, state Messrs. J. F. Hutton. & Co., Ltd. An uneasy feeling prevailed so that compara- tively little business has been done. A stabiliser is required and it was generally expected that the Bureau report would help in this direction. Instead of pacify- ing the uneasy elements of the market, a further disturbing fac- tor has been introduced by way of another surprise. The general opinion was that the forecast of 15,226,000 bales was about the Hait and only required a Hittle time for the market to settle down' to the fact, and business of some bulk would commence to spread. The opinion was backed up by the fact that for the first time as a result of protest, the authori- ties caused the Bureau figures of the 26th October to be checked, and they were bound to be cor- rect. Nevertheless we have the probable yield estimate increased to 15,386,000 baler and ginnings at November 1st 11,199,000 bales against 9,250,000 on October 17th. Although the estimated increase la not a great deal, it has succeed. ed, in reducing spot by about 11 per lb. This has again destroyed what little confidence was develop ing and is to be regretted as, un- doubtedly there is a lot of business
