COMMERCIAL SUMMARY
The state Of trade in every part of the country is
encouraging. Confidence has revived, foreign orders
come pouring in, money is abundant the home trade
has received an impetus, and, what is perhaps better
than ALL the harvest thanks TO the lovely weather of
the last few weeks, has been got in with safety and
is described as an average one. Commercially speak
ing, better feeling prevails than has existed for
years. The cotton market has been most buoyant /;
IT received stimulant some or weeks back, when
accounts came TO hand that the cotton crop in the
Southern States had been serious injured by the
rains.
The accounts received this week by the Hibernia
proves these fears to be groundcss and that the
crop IS likely TO reach two millions of bales. Still
the market, uDnfuenced by the heavy stock on hand
or the heavy stock which will shortly arrive, main
tans its buoyancy, and speculation TO great extent
IS taking place. IL IS singular fact, exemplIiy ing
the truth Of the adage, that =" when door shuts
another opens that this extreme activity in the cot
ton market is not produced by our trade with the
United States, which continued very depressed In
deed, the stringent provisions of the new American
tariff have cut off the trade with this country TO
mere bagstelIe and the improved feeling may be
traced 10 the existence OF new channels of con-
sumption for British manufactured products.
