Extract from letter ofun American gen

York, dated Nov. ID 1896.
" You are aware of the great CONNER
cial and manufacturing distress which this
country has experienced, and which il is

better inforaicd than myself that nltJ.onah

is improving, yet that no one can tell where

ing nanufacturers-butt the evil is perma-
ncntly fixed You are so well and so init
mately acquainted with this subject that !
am perhaps trespassing upon you, u very
crude opinion, but the opinion, however |
crude il may be, is most decidedly estab-
lishcd, that the day, the brightest day of
British prosperity, has gone by. II is now |
fading into twilight. The United States |
has been its best market, but it is declining !
France, Holland, Germany, and other
continental countries arc increasing their

purchases upon the presumption that pri.

correct. They cannot increase unless the /
demand increases, and the demand, though !
1t will doubtless iluctuate occasionally, can
not on the average do otherwise than di-

said TO be her last hope Of an ample mar

said had landed in the Isle of Samos, and |
the new Egyptian expedition had arrived

that a. force of $500 men. under the com-
mand OF p. Mavromicbalis was to be en-
ployed for tho same object.
