is required Ice the consignments to reach their
destination is apparently relied upon, it being
hoped that the Indian markets will have improved
in the interval. There mess to be a good deal it
risk in these calculations. Meanwhile the aid
is, of course, to stimulate industry throughout our
cotton districts, occasioning full employment, good
wages, and a proportionately large consumption of
revenue-paying articles of necessity, comfort, said
luxury. The expansion of the corn trade with
America is already operating in the same direction.
It is not doubted that the large orders for bread-
stuf . sent to the United States will be followed by
increased activity in our own export trade. Con-
siderable preparations are therefore being made by
the cotton trade to supply the expected demand
for spring goods far America.
The prosperity of the consumers—i.e., the

manufacturers—of cotton, is materially due to the
abundant supply of the raw material A good
deal of anxiety had been felt with regard to the
position of the holder of cotton—the intermediate
agent between the producer and the consumer.
Last year's crop of cotton in America was the
largest ever known, having reached about
4,675,000 bales, or 828,000 bales beyond that
of the previous year ' • and of this large excess no
less than 740,000 bales remained at one period in
stock in Liverpool—that is to say, we held on
speculation 740,000 bales of cotton, worth six or
seven millions sterling, more than we held at the
corresponding period of the previous year. Had
any disturbance arisen in the money market
much inconvenience might have been occasioned
to the holders. During the month of July there
was, indeed, scarcely any fixed price for cotton at
LiverpooL The price was regulated mainly by
the necesaities of the seller. Considerable as:fi-
at:es had, consequently, to be submitted to by weak
holders who could hold no longer. It is satisfac-
tory to remark that the stock has since run down
rapidly. The computed quantity in Liverpool now
is 834,000 bales, so that the axons, as compared
with the corresponding period of lest year, is re-
duced to a little more than 250,000 bales. Seve-
ral circumstances have combined to relieve the
holders. In the first place, there has been an in-
creased demand for exportation, the total disposed
of in this way this year being 443,064 bales, against
274,841 bales to the corresponding date in 1859.
Secondly, the consumption by the trade has expo.
risnoed a marked increase, the quantity taken in
the forty weeks of the present year being no lams
than 1,944,200 bales, against 1,675,740 in forty
weeks of 1859. Thirdly, • much larger quantity
has been bought on speculation. Fourthly, the
very low rates current for cotton here have given
a check to the shipments from India.

The last week's reports from the manufacturing
districts are satidactory. At Manchester, the
market is stronger. The stocks of India goods
are reduced or cleared off, and there are orders in
advance. A good effect is also produced by the
increased confidence which is observable in com-
mercial circles on the Continent. Transactions
for that quarter are entered into with less hesita-
tion.

In the woollen districts, business baa been of
scarcely the average extent. Support is given,
however, by the increasing orders for the American
trade, as well as by orders for yarn from RUMill.
From Nottingham and Leicester the accounts are
more cheerful than those lately received. The
hosiery trade is described as sound, and there has
been a better supply of orders. The linen trade
is rather dull, being affected by the weather. In
the hardware branch, a good steady business con-
tinues to be done, and manufacturers, whilst keep-
ing their people at work, are not adding to their
stocks. There are still complaints of slacknaes in
the iron trade, but the ironwaaters have deter-
mined not to alter their prices. The usual quar-
terly meetings in this trade will take place during
the present week.
