and punish the peoples idol, have raised him still
higher in their esteem, and thus it speaks to the
Government in the language of defiance; while the
receipt OF such timely aid is acceptable to the

COMMERCIAL SUMMARY.-The cotton market is
slowly but steadily recovering from the depression
it has long experienced, and the opinion of some OF
the best practical men is, that the corner has beer
turned, the staple has seen its lowest point, and the
future is full of hope and promise. variety O
circumstances, the consideration of which in de-
tail would trench beyond our limited space, could
be adduced TO favor and support this che cring hypo
thesis. Among the most striking may be mention
ed the state OF our Eastern trade, which is ever,
day extending, and promises, at no remote period
| to keeppace with, and in active employ, all the
steam power which the manufacturing districts OF
| England can supply. In Lancashire and Yorkshire
the cotton and woollen trades experience the ad
vantages Of our West India and China mar

market is looking up, and this, too, in the face

prices are at least halfpenny lower now than they
were in the middle Of June, 1913. Whether con

confidence which now exists amongst commercial
men-the abundance ofmoney, and the absence of
reckless speculation and bubble schemes-al these
matters point to an improvement in our domestic,
an extension to the foreign trade and necessarily.
tie change for the better in the great American
staple.
