1t thus appears (says the Advertiser) that
in 1853 the English manufacturers obtained
more than one-fourth of their cotton from
other countries than the United States, and
that Egypt and India supplied about twenty
three per cent of the whole. Among the
present cotton-growing countries these two
have therefore the highest claims to he con.
sidered rs competitors of the United States.
