In the han4s of spinners

the above calculation is drawn out in the most
favourable light possible for consumers. Many
will say, •
Ist. That'the tra'e do not hold 15,000 bales of American
cotton ;
2nd. That we shall not get an import of 47,000 before
the Ist of Dfc:ntber,-;
3rd. That cmisumption and export will take mere than
32,000 per week.

It is clear that the position of matters is so
critical, that any hour we may see a considerable
advance, and, though the trade may keep out of
the market for a week or two, it will only make
them worse off when they enter the market again.

The continued fall in London and North
Western stock excites discussion. An uneasy
feeling sems to prevail amongst some e►f the share-
holders with reference to the competition of the
Great Northern Compeiny for the Manchester
traffic ; and Western Stock indicated 'at the last
settlement in the Stock Exchange has not escaped
attention.

An extraordinary general meeting of the
Electric and International Telegraph Company is
called for the 7th Oct., " for authorising the
Directors to raise the residue of the share capital,
uranted under the Act -of Parliament, for the
purpose of cancelling the debenture debt, and for
earrying out such extensions and improvements of
the system as maybe requisite for inci.eased accom-
modation to the public.''
The advices from Melbourne mention that the
following ships were advertised to sail from that
port, viz : For London : the King Philip, July
25; Avon,' August 4; and the Heatherbell,
August 10. Fir Liverpool : the Ocean Chief, in
July.
The adviees from India indicate that there is
still but a poor prospect cf the 5 per cent. loan for
3 000,0001 being fired up, notwithstanding the
offer of the government to take, in part payment,
41 per cent., 4 per cent., and 31 per cent. notes. It
is mentioned that a 6 per cent. government loan
for one year had been announced in the Punjaub
—with what success remains to be seen. These
advises are calculated to strengthen the belief that
a government loan mnst ultimately be raised in
England. We notice that, whilst the Bombay banks
have lowered their rates of discount 2 per cent., a
rise of 2 per cent. had been announced by the Bank
of B?mgal.
Now that the whole of the Eastern advises are to
hand, we append our usual statement of the quota-
tions of Exchange on Loudon by the present and
previous mails : _

The following is a weekly commercial review of
trade in France during the past week:—

Every branch of trade is now gradually (merging from
the dead season, and business is active in most of the
manufactories. The foreign agents have begun to make
their purchases, and orders arrive from almost all parts
of Europe, as well as from the Brazils and South
America. The provinces are also buying. The bad
harvests of the last threo years, and the Russian war,
greatly restricted consumption, and now the Rants of
the public are considerable. The movements is, however,
hampered by several causes—the dearness of raw mate-
rials compels the manufacturers to raise their prices, and
the crisis at the Bourse exercise a prejudicial Maine,
upon commerce. During the last few years, investments

in railse,ay„— have Increased to an enormous extent. Almost
every tradesman has some part of Ms capital placed in
the",e securities, and, as he cannot now convert his shares
lr:to money without great loss, the obvious consequence
is that his resources and credit are diminished. The loss
sustained by private individuals in investments of this
description forces them to restrict their expenditure, and
thus checks the expansion of trade. Almost all our
manufactures of tissues are now active. Buyers have
appeared at Rouen and Multiouse. Numerous orders
have been received at Roubaix, Turcoing, Amiens, and
Rheims. :But Lyons does not feel the movement in any
great degree. Some orders for rich stuffs come from
Paris, but commissions from North America are still
looked for in vain. It is feared that the numerous failures
at New York will again keep the Americans out of the
Lyons market this season. Corn continues to fall in
almost all the French and foreign markets. Flour is more
abundant at the Halle of Paris, although grinding con•
tinues to bo checked in many places for want of water.
and as flour for delivery.several months hence cannot be
placed except at a reduction of 7f or 8f from present
prices, the millers do not care to buy corn. The vintage
has commenced in a great part of France, and is favoured
by admirable weather. Throughout Burgundy and the
Macon district an abundant crop, and a quality of wine
altogether exceptional, is reckoned upon. In Languedoc
and the Bordeaux country the disease has reduced the
quantity, hut the quality will be on a par with the very
best years.
