FACTS.


4 gentleman informs Us that the brig
Mars, which sailed from this port on Mon
day last for Calcutta, carried out seventy
bales of domestic couons for the Calcutta
market.
II Is fact, universally notorious, that
previous to the late war, coarse cottons
were imported in great abundance from
Calcutta, for which specie was sent in
payment; aud it was then a matter of sur
prise that they could be Imported at so
cheap rate.
1t is d fact susceptible of the clearest
proof that the price Of India cotioas before
the late war was more thu. -oublc thcprc
sent price of American cottons. leaving
the qualities of tie respective kinds OF
goods entirely on, of the question India
cottous of width suitable for sheetings,
were sold twenty years ago. for thir,y-6ye,
forty, and sometimes as high as fifty cents
heyard they were exceedingly coarse and
dim, aud could as easily be seen through
as a ladder. American cottons OF the same
Width, Of fine substantial, durable texture,
may be bought for seventeen, and those OF
extra fneness for twenty five cents thevard.
Just previous to the late war, (l0O9 to
1872, an article for shifting was import
ed to considerable extent, called British
cotton, the most Indifferent of which sold
for fifty cents, and the better qualities, from
seventy five cents to q dollar a yard
American shirtngs have driven this article
entirely from our market; for those equal
Ia durability, as well as delicacy Of texture
and finish, can be purchased for less than
half the money.
The investigation might be pursued with
respect to calicoes, gInghams, and other
goods manufactured from cotton, and the
same undoubted and indubitable facts exhi-
b.ted by the parallel.
Soin regard omany articles manufatur-
ed from wool. Broadcloths and Cassineres,
the former especially, J are from fifty to a
hundred per cent lower than they were
previous to the war. 4 man may now get
two coats, for what one then cost, aud per
haps have change enough left to buy a
handkerchief, pair ofstockings, or even
a silk waIslcoat.
