CONSU MPIlON Of vi lON.
. In France, the consumption OF 1922
shews an increase OF about 10 per cent
over that of 1921; but in the present year
although here is some increase, IT is yet
but ,riting. In America. it is rapidly pro-
ceedIpg In This country the consumption
has been increasing Tor seven years, at the
rate of 10 per cent per annum, taking IN
to account only the number OF bales. Ii
we bad stated ,be number OF lbs. (which
would have been more correctly the real
increase OF consumption would have ap'
peared to be about la per cent per annItn;
because the Increase has been in the large
and no, in he small bales. Then as to
The indication OF further increase by the
building oil new mills il was certainly ne
YER so great as al present. The building
of mills, however, would be Of little con-
sequence, If there was not a market Tor
the goods; but when We consider The lin.
mense increase OF our trade since The o.
penng OF our commerce with ,. America
and India, and when we consider the
large population OF those countries, Inc
prospect of further extension is more e.
videnf1han at any former period. II ~
very evident, too, that we shall, even IN
the ensuing year. have a greater demand
for our manufactures for expectation. This
year, owing TO The aei,a,ed state Of many
OF the countries with which we have trad
ed, The demand from them has greatly di-
miniebed. This is the case more parti-
cuIarly in Spain, Portugal and the Brazils.
In these couniries, there is now prospect
of those difficulties in which they have
been unbappily involved, being speedily
settled; and there can be no doubt that
we shall experience the effects OF this in
an increased demand for our manufactures.
In America, there was till lately, an over
stock of British manufactures, but this ap.
pear. TO have been relieved, and there is
every reason to expect that we shall have
an ipcreased demand from thence also
next year. 49,
Under these circumstances, we have
no doubt that tue rate OF increase which
we stated LAST year, it not checked by q,
very high price for the raw material, wui
go on Tor some time to come. The prices
may indeed 90 much higher than they now
are, without producing any check, Tor the
