Manchester, April 13. The Guardian says:
“The market is idle and tin* demand light all
around. The weak point is continued slackness
of the Eastern demand. This is atl ributed to
the recent fall in exchange, but is bettor de
scribed as the result of an over-supply of goods.
The continuing weakness has made even sellers
indifferent to further hardening in the specu
lative department of the cotton market. Sri li
ners are well supplied with raw material, and in
view of the fact that the business of spinners
aud manufacturers’ margins show no profits,
the opinion is growing that, the cotton market
will now be leit in the hands of speculative ope
ration. There are some continental inquiries
for yarns, but owing to the firmness of prices
business is small. Cloth is inactive. The East
ern demand is extremely slow. Producers of
plain India fabrics are occasionally anxious for
orders for May delivery* They have n large
supply for June. There are a few inquiries for
China goods. There is a moderate demand for
favorite makes of printing cloth tor South
America and other minor foreign outlets.”

Green A Cos. s report on cotton futures says:
‘•There has not been much of a market to-day.
At the commencement matters looked fairly
firm, but a slight increase in the offering fur
nished more of a supply than the jnisitdon could
exhaust, and under tins selling rate.* went off 6
(od points. At the close, with reduced pressure,
a fractional iwoverj' was noticeable and a
steadier tone, and, in fact, there was no evidence
of a seriously depressed feeling.”

START THE STEAMBOATS.
Rumors of Competition by the Central
Railroad.
From the Auguxta (On.) Chronicle.
Now that the steamboat company has
been successfully organized, it is sincerely
bojied the officers will push the company
along as rapidly as possible. Each day
skipp'd is a day lost, and there, are numer
ous reasons why there should lie n<i delay in
inaugurating active operations. The
quicker the rich river territory is opened
up to our merchants, and the quicker
they are enabled to have freights shipp'd
from the North via our own steamship line,
the better it will be for all concerned. With
the system in good working order it will
have a very salutary effect on the rulings of
the Interstate Commerce Commission w ith
regard to Augusta, and w ill also wield no
little influence in the committee rooms of
Congress when the appropriations are being
dished out.
Then, too, there is another reason why
the steamers should heave anchor. It was
rumored on the streets yesterday that the
Central railroad proposed, or rather were
considering the feasibility of starting a line
in opposition, and to kill out the new enter
prise by pi cans of cut rates and ocean steam
ship discrimination. If they decide on such
a step, the ad van! age, which is undoubted,
will be secured of I snug first on the route,
because they own considerable steamlioat
property winch could lie transferred to the
Savannah with but little trouble. But a few
weeks are needed to capture the traffic, and
in commerce also, possession is nine points
of the luiw. Several people questioned about
the matter are of the opinion that the Cen
tral system will make a strong endeavor to
destroy the new company. It is natural to
suppjse they would, and it is certain that
the plan is being now considered.
There are but four competent pilots on
the (Savannah, and all who apply for pilots’
licenses to the government examiners are
put to a strict tost and made to show that
they thoroughly know and understand
every foot of the river. The four men at
present licensed are all in the river service,
and an old navigator said yesterday that
the new company would find no tittle
trouble in this i>artieular. It would be well
for the authorities to investigate the matter.
Another thing that comes under the head
of river navigation is the wharf. It is not in
the best possible condition, and should
be thoroughly repaired. Sonr thing needl'd
more than anything else, however, js ware
house facilities, shelter, in fact, to protect
freight from inclement weather. This on
the part of the new enlerprise council should
look after and see that they are thoroughly
equipped on this end of the line. Turn on
the stearn and let her go.
