The consumption is estimated for the
coming year at ACC, 900 bales. The French
consumption has not varied materially for
the last four years, ranging from 392, 900 TO
$4,000 bales. The stocks at Havre are
lower than last year, which with the increas.
ed demand, the result Of low prices, places
the probable want Of France at 100000
bales. For all the countries excepting Gleat
Britain, the consumption is estimatev at
10000 bales,
The great and influential market for Cot
ton, however, is England. The low prices
which will rule and the prosperous state of
trade throughout the Kingdom, giving ems
ployment and wages to the working classes,
will, we are inclined to think, produce a
larger consumption than the estimate. The
stocks OF the spinners have been kept very
low during the past year. The consumption
of the last seven years is shown in the fol-
lowing table.

The consumption for 1914 does not vary
materially from 1843. The low price of
Cotton and the favorable state of the home
trade will undoubtedly increase the cons
sumption for 1845. Low prices have al
ways had the effect Of producing increased
consumption, as shown by the following ia

This excess added to the stocks already

and must have depressing effect on prices.
At the end of 1843 the stock on hand at
all the ports was 100000 bales, which
has beer considerably increased in 1874.

This is the estimated supply from the U.
States, for the year 1845. The range is
wide and the average 100000 bales is
taken as the probable produce. We think
that the estimate for New Orleans will be
found to be large. From India the quaint.

and by the state of political affairs in the

and quite regular. The following is the

MAJOR JACK DowNING.-(edilOr of the
Bunker HilE,) writes as follows to his Uncle
Joshua, at Downingyille:
"As to our Native American Party, uncle,
it's going like stream Of chalk. 1t grows
faster than Jacks bean did, that grew up cut
of sight in three nights and reached the gi-
ants palace. And guess it won't be long
before you'll see yOung America climbing up

the bean, and pitching all the giants of the
old parties down headlOng to the ground
They say there is agoing to be an awful tus-
sic here next spring to cut the Native Amer
Iican tree down in New York, and they are
grinding up their axes like all creation now
to get ready for it. But guess they'll find
the Native American tree a plaguy sigh
harder than hickory, and hard enough to turT
the blade Of any European axe they car
bring to hack against it. And ifthey shoulC
happen to cut It down here in New York
they cantkill it. for more than 10000 sprOut

The next question Of Importance is,what
is to be the demand? The consumption of
the United States last year was 347, 900
bales, showing an increase of $4,000 bales,
or I per cent. on the year 1s43. All our
factories however, were running to their full
capacity, some with two sets of hands, day
and night, the high prices of goods, and the
great demand, forcing production to its ut.

next year, it is doubted if the increased
consumption Of cotton will be proportionate
with this year. The amount taken by con.

Major Jack Downing, in his last paper,
says that his cousin Joel has got home from
Europe, and that,
"He had some kind of notion Of staying
in England and going into business there
And he enquired round to see what sort OF a
chance he had to become citizen of that
country, and when he found out that they
never would let him become citizen and
never allow him to vote, if he lived there till
he was as old as Mathuselah, he rurned right

Here, it will be seen, low prices for Cot
ton have invariably increased the consunP-
ton, as high prices have invariably dimin~
ished it. The estimated English cOnsump-
ton for 1916 is put down at 100000 bales
excess over 1914, which we arc inclined to
think is too small rather than too large The
consumption will then be in the aggregate
