buyer. The Cotton market reflects so faithfully the
general feeling OF the commercial world that II may
always be regarded, and IN fact the best index OF
the national prosperity or otherwise. A variety OF
circumstances will account Tor the depression which
prevails foremost amongst the number is the APP
prehension Of general panic, contingent upon the
fearful state of the potatoe crop; the deficiency or
badness OF the corn crops; and the absurd pitch
to which speculation in rails has been carried
Other branches OF business are suffering more
or less from these combined causes, and as the
winter approaches, this feeling of alarm, there
is too much reason TO apprehend, VIII rather

INCREASE IN THE IMPORTS OF SUGAR.-lt Is highly
interesting and satisfactory to learn that the imports
of sugar into Great Britain up to this time exceed
those of 1914 by $4,000 tons. of which l0,700 are
from the West Indies, 1000 from the Mauritius,
1900 from the East Indies, and 1000 Foreign pro-
duced by free labour. The increase in consump-
ton for the same period of eight months has been
n 100 tons.
the present half year e. 062 has been received
for the conveyance OF goods and passengers on the
various railways now opened in England the length
OF which is estimated at about llSO miles.
MrscELLASEoUs.-The West India markets,
nevertheless, appear to be in a tolerably
healthy state; SO far, the shock which
public confidence has experienced can barely
be said to have affected them. The consumption OF
sugar and coffee enters so largely into the expendl-
ure OF the working man, and indeed may be said to
be the props of his existence that las leng he is
employed they must be consumed, and cannot fail
to command good prices. Now, whatever other
pccuiares belong TO the existing state OF things,
the laboring classes well employed, and pur-
chase largely of the articles we have named. West
India sugar is, therefore, IN good request the stock
hand is decreasing, and prices have rather an up
ward tendency.
The Share market is inactive, and the funds are
fiat caused by the rumors relative to the opening of
the ports The Discount market shows symptoms
of "ughtness," and in taking bills the discount
houses show more than their usua,caution. Nothing
of much importance has occurred In the Foreign
market.

Trade IN the manufacturing districts shows, in its
comparative prostration, the effect of the var Gus
causes at which we have limited in our publicat ion
to-day. Nearly all descriptions OF produce have re-
ceived check, but there is nothing so goo my
ahead, that speedy and healthy reaction may not
take place.
The iron trade continues brisk, and masters and
men are well employed In the price of pig iron a
slight decline has taken place; 1t Is now quoted at
