Extract of letter to mercantile house
in this tcwn, dated " Liverpool, 9Th
June, 1916.
6: IKE imports Of Cotton into Great
Britain in May amount TO 56,675 bags,
and the sales in Liverpool, London, and
Glasgow to 26,137 bags; the sales are
therefore less tran the computed con-
sumption abeut 286S bags--l'he imports
have exceeded the CONSUMPTION about
%, 900 bags. and we compute that the
stock in the kingdom on the lst inst. had
encreased to about 10000 bags. The
imports into'fhis port since the 1st. a
mount to 1852 bags, and we expect that
in this month they will be again nearly
$4,000. With this rapidly INCREASING
stock, the prices which have already
given way will we expect decline further.
This week the sales here only amount Il
24l0 bags, and there is an election here.

stock is considerable, but we premise
ourselves a revival of demand by orders
from the Upper Countries. Cotton is
scarce and wanted; our imports fall short
