to demand and supply.
The accounts up TO our latest dates from England
are somewhat unpromising but sill the best authori-
ties agree in estimating the consumption in Great
Britain and on the continent OF Europe at fully
lion TO America of ten per cent. over last year
which is certainly not too much, as Il Is we'll known
that her spinning and manufacturing establishments
