Cotton Trade of the world.

teresting to the general reader, as well as to
those who are engaged in the trade either as
producers manufacturers, or spectators. The
paper itself, however, is altogether too lengthy
To admit OF its insertion entire in our paper,
and we therefore avail ourselves of an admira-
bic synopsis of it, taken from the National
MteIIigeaeer:
The statistics 81 an nations during the years

tons applicable TO America cotton in all countries which
American cotton lie sent Next shown the quantity
ton exported from the United States all countries respec-
lively, and the average amounts and the annual average
amounts also Of revenue derived by each country for the five
years ending with 1883 II shows that states
exported average Of than million pounds cotton
in ca Of the five years last pastof which quantity
than seven hundred million pounds went to England and
nearly hundred million pounds France which the
latter derived an annual average revenue Of nearly three
million Of dollars
The sixth exhibits the quantities Of cotton ex
ported by Great Britain to all countries respectively and the
countries whence she imported the cotton thus
period Of i've years ending wi 1855 IL appears that
England consumes only about fveNhs Of all the she
imports the residue being conveyed by her ships b the
unent and principally the ports Of Russia and Central Eu-
rope-a carrying trade which merchant marine
could do weand also that her large re-exporaton Of
her india cotton and the comparatively small re expectation
Of that derived from the United States very conclusive

ton Of them. About oneenh OF the imported from
the United states is re-eNpDrt from England while nearly
half that imported from British India never used In
her factories bat j. sent away These facts significant
their relative value. American is estimated as one
hundred per cent SUPERIOR TO that OF India.

This portion Of the document concludes with detailed

very sure will afford valuable information subject even
to those who have been in the cotton line all their lives
Altogether, this document is one of the
strongest peace arguments that could be pro-

and wealth, it exhibits also the mutual depen-
dence Of rival nations.
