u Tine mcns.rous departures from truth con-
tained in the above article demand instant and
thorough exposure. They shall have It.
l. The British Shifting of the Journal Of Corn
mcrce is made OF very poor and short India Cot
ton costing FIVE to five and half cents ponnd
in England. The New-York Mills Sheetings
declared by the Journal 10 be- Of no jetter q"aii
fy' are made OF the best American Cotton On
par. Sea Island) costing from eleven to eighteen
cents per pound.
2. The New-Yoik Mills ShoetiDgs are very
fm and heavy article weighing twenty-five
pounds 10 the hundred yards The British Cot
tons Of tho Journal arc fimsy fabric, weighing
MT over seventeen pounds to hehundred yards
probably not fifteen, though filled with pu'rerized
spar, &c. calculated rather to iaake the good
sell we'll than wear well.
8. The Newly Mills Sheetngs save OBJ
taincd high reputation iog durability and az
cellence, meet with rapid demand, and sell at a
good price Just as some brands of Flour will sell
above the general price OF Flour. The Journals
British Cutlons, on the other hand, arc OF G class
largely manufactured for the Chinese market, I'M
I'll that market was ovcrstocked, and the goods
thrown back upon the general market, to be sod
for what they would fetch. They cannot be
made, poor as they are, iot seven cents yard.
[: is possible that these light, flmsy fabrics might
for oncc {" be chosen in preference" to the four
teca-cen Shectiags OF the Ncw-Yogk Mills by
some very green buyer, bet he would be careful!
not to repeat the folly.
! 4. Il is well knewn that much Of the Cotton
Of which our present supplies Of American Cot
tor fabrics are made was purchased when The
price was forty or fifty per cent. higher than
now. Cotton goods-the demand being large
and active, naturally advanced with Cotton, and
did not fall Immediately on the fall Of Cotton.
But the good demand and good prices opened
new mills asd stimulated old ones, until the pro-
duciion ie now in excess Of the consumption, ana
prices tending downward. Cotton goods are
now at least ten per cent. lower than in April,
and they arc certain 10 90 still lower before
Spring.
5. Nobody now buys British Cottons plain
then small lot for tho notion Of it, quantity
which happens to be sold at sacrifice abroad,
being Out of fashion, or in some way thrown Oh;
Of demand. The very man vino Imported tho
Journals Manchcster's Shlr!ings has bought
New York Mills Shectings for mis- own trade
lie perfectly ws knows that the Manchester
Shirtiugs at cents are no more equal TO New
York Mills Shcc.ings at ii than Sntnet is &c
Broadcloth.
And now we make direct appeal TO the
common and reason OF the whole Amer
can People: Can you bslisrs that plain Co,ions
costing fourteen cents il made in this Country
can be made in England for seuen and haiti
Give your understanding fair play Making

Than English steam. power. Cotton comes as
