TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—l am directed by the Committee of the
Cotton Supply Association to forward you the en.'
closaci copy of a statistical return prepared for the
association, which they hope you will deem of
sufficient interest to be placed prominently before
your readers. The return specifies every country'
which exported cotton to the United Kingdoel
during the past year, and the quantity receivoi
from each. It includes various new sources a
supply to which the attention of merchants and
others is invited, there being no doubt that, with
proper encouragement from capitalists, many Of
the places which at present contribute onlf
slightly to our aid would become considerable
exporters of the raw material to this country.—'
I am, sir, respectfully yours,

S. 0. SUTTON, Interim Secretary.
