At GLASGOW, the loth Day ciFeboary, tBO3.
AT a numerous and refpeEtable MEETING of
the IMPORTERS, COTTON SPINNERS, MANII-
tACTURERS, PRINTERS, and OTHERS intercfted in the
COTTON TRADE, hell In confequence of previous Adver-
tifentents In the Newfpapers ;
ARCHD. CAMPBELL, Efq. in the Chair.

A Report on the Cotton Trade of Great Britain, and on tPe
We& of the Late Duties on the Importation of Cotton Wool
having been rkad, and approved of by the Meeting, the faroc
le ordered to be printed, sad the Chainhan requefted to tranf-
Init Copies of it to each Member of both Hanks of Parl.arattit.

Therefore the Meeting came to the followipg
Refolved—z. That Cotton Wool, the Raw Material of our
Blanufaetere, being now chießy the product of Potties In-
dependent Countries. or of the Colonies bditellog to other Eu-
ropean Powers, the Foreign Manoradtorse ean mutliale his
Cotton Wool at the farm markets, which the &id& kisaufac-
tarn anal wed:wily it-fort to for his
ad. That the du, y upon Cotter% Wool. Ins the eta. to Runk
ele Importation into this Country of that Snick, to Mot may
be fuppofrd the neceffsry quantity required, from time to time,
for °Ur Manufactures; thus cresting a kind of artificial feareity,
and, in addition to the duty, a fifU farther enhancement of the
price, beyond that at which the Foreign Manufacturer will be
*hie to fupply himfelf.
3d. That were no duties to be levied upon. Cotton Woollo
Yds country, the great coofuinpdon of that trick in our Ma-
nufadures,would render Britain the principal nun of the Cot-
ton Wool to be brought to Europ-, turuifkieg thus a very ez-
tenfitre fouree of employment for (hipping and COMOICItiIII ca-
pital; giViit to our Manufadharers an advantage In the price
of the Raw MAttrial, over chore of other countries ; and what
I. of Rill more importance to them, an opportunity of prefer-
ence in making their (election of thofe qualities el Cotton molt
(nimble to the various branches of their Manufacture.

eth. .1 bat any duty pdd upon the Rave Material, inereares
rogreflively upon each operation through which the Manufac-
ture may ahetwards pars, and Joa at left tp fonts an impor-
tant part of the colt of the artier in the confuting'.
stk. That as our Ma 'ufadtarea have, taitintattly, to enter
iota a competition f r Pale, with the Manufadtares of countries
lets burdened, sad svhote labour tech:art than ours, we ought
to be psrtieularly careful. how we °written hold out farther cn-
emishgensesst to the foreign Manedalarcrogfering him,ia rlat,
a bouncy upon his Manufadtures, to the amount of whatever
duties we may introit upon out own.
6th. That when the foreign bianoradtarer hall have been
taus encouraged by us, and led on to form meantime eltablial-
menb, and thetas/ channels of commerce Aegis perceptibly to
he occupied with his produas, we may look back, with regret,
arms the miltaken ennbdenee tinder which we had abed ; but
any repeal,t hen , ache duties that had °tidal this eanapetkion,
will come ton late to remedy the evil.
7th- That the Cotton Mandadurer or Great Britain, with
the fahad ary Menafalturn Immediately dependent u-on it,

Rola. That, a. 'he produlive power and wealth of a country

sail. That fir the reafons now fisted. it it the opinion of
this Meeting that any duty on Cotton Wool Is highly impolitic.
and may prow, rolgous to the Cotton Manufatierc ; that this
