prssert to estimate the magnitude Of the trade, which
IN che course of the next few years viii have grown
pp-arising from the abandonment of the exclusive
and sscusve policy of nearly onethird of the popula-
ton Of the world, and the probable increase of our
trade with Mexico and the South American States
generally. Ia view Of this, and the unprecedented
engagements of the English spnners in supplying the
wants of tie Continent India, &C., we must believe
that with ordinary ssgscty on the part of our own
manufacturers in the production and the distribution
Ofther fabrics, constant and profitable employment
will be afforded the spindes Of the country. An en-
tire revolution in the method Of distribution and sale
of manufactured goods, as 60 often advocated in
our columns, seems probable. Some large corpora
tons as well as many private manufacturers, are at

institution will place the manufacturing industry Of the
country on basis, which will be permanent, aud

Printing Cloth.
The recent sale in Providence have been male FOR

for large purchases. There are some goods held 10

There is no change in the market.

pesred, which will meet with ready marxet, as the
job lots have been distributed aud light stocks exist
generally.
Cotton Jeans

duoed. The finer grades drag heavily.

There is nothing new to report. The deinsnd for
low Satnets has increased, as the curt ahea produc
