BURN'S COMMERCIAL GLANCE,

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL INFORMATION.

We never took up this most valuable publication wits
greater interest than on the present occasion, as, from
the statistical information which it furnishes with respect
to the cotton trade, we shall be able to form an idea how
far that trade has been affected by the recent commercial
changes, and the difficult monetary position of this coun-
try. In giving a summary of it, we shall confine our-
selves to the leading facts brought out ; for, in truth, the
entire document itself deserves to be attentively studied
by every man interested in the commerce or in the wel-

fare of his country.
The first article—that of cotton yarn—although an-
important item of our exports, we have never considered
as one whose increase bears greatly upon the prosperity
of this country. On the contrary, we should be glad to
see such yarn worked up at home by the hands and the
looms of Englishmen, and exported only as a finished
fabric. We are not, therefore, sorry to observe that in
this half-year there is a

The most important article of the cotton trade is that
of plain calicoes ; and here also we have a slight decrease,
the total exports to all countries being 277,523,135 yds.
against 291,921,039 yds. in the corresponding period last
year, or a decrease of 14,397,904 yds. Whilst there is
