The markets supplied with cotton yarn by Great
Britain are, the average, as near TO us as 10 he
In supplying these markets, common TO us oo'h'
we have (supposng the conversion is effected on our
central coal lieds) these advantages:
!. A saving in power of at least one-hali:
. saving in transportation OF three or tour ,hou-
sand miles TO say nothing OF the expensive Ianu car
riagc in England.
8. An exemption from English taxation in all It's
multiplied and oppressive forms.
L. A more unrestricted commerce with the world.
We less liable to war; and our international
policy is so liberal that our ship s and products are
received by all nations on the most favored terms.
That Great Britain has more capital and more
skill than have is readily admitted; but it will
be noticed that, when we have material SO near us,
far less capital is required and that, even if we have
not the skill 10 weave, we have, or could readily
have, the skill TO spin Our labor is expensive
than Great Britain but the cheapncss of our food Is
nearly or quite equivalent
He concludes by suggesting a matter worthy Of
investigation, whether portion of the slave labor
OF Kentucky aud Tennessee could not be proftahly
employed in the manner indicated, at healthy posi-
tlonS which are of easy aud abound in coal.
Surely these significant signs Of the times.
The South is beginning to awaken to the true i'm
portancc Of home industry. few such experiments
as that alluded to by Mr. Bryant, and with like Sue
cess, could not but be productive OF the most mpor-
tant of consequences.

The supply of foreign wheat has been toierably
good, and the attendance of country purchasers less
extensive than the last week. On Mon
day, only a moderate extent of business done.

Monday at from 42s to 44s, and superior sorts OF
red at 46s. to ass. and even 5Os. per quarter,
has any abatement from these rates been since sub
mitted to- though the demand has certainly slacken-
ed more or less, and the operations to-day were on
comparatively retail scale.
The millcrs advanced the top price of flour Is per
sack on Monday. Other kinds of sack flour, incud-
ing French, rose Is. to IS. per sack, and American
Is. per barrel The inquiry has, however, ialicn'
off, the bakers being unwilling TO take more than
they require for immediate at the improvement
Barley held l.. per quarter higher on Monday
than on that day week, and good many parcels OF
foreign changed hands On Wednesday and this
morning the Transactions not of much import
ancc still the advance was maintained. The arri-
walls of oats coastwisc have been good in addition 10
which several cargocS have come TO handtrom abroad
The total supply having been larger than expect
cd, and the dealers having during the past week or
two, been induced by low prices to get into stock
the trade has again become quiet. The sales made
to-day were, however, at similar prices TO those
realized at the beginning of the week, which, when
compared with those current on the 9Th INST, show
an advance of fully Is. per or. The value OF beans
