The export movement of breadst1ns continues
active, but the news from Europe is likely TO check
IN During the week preceding the date Of our latest
European advces the weather had improved mate
rally. and -four and wheat had declined in price.
This ought to be regarded very good news here.
4 crop failure in England would affect this country
Spjnriously; il would deprive rs Of market for a
great deal OF cotton; it would restrict our trade
with England and would seriously affect our money
market As matters stand, 1t is too late for the
British haryests to be full average and nothing
can prevent shipping to Europe, at fair prices
ahe bulk of our surplus breadstuhs. Bat there is
also a fair prospect that England mag
have wheat enough, with what she gets
nom here, to save her people from famine,
end consequently that her trade and her consump-
iion of cotton will not necessarily be impaired.
People must always remember that nations which
have an extensive commercial intercourse with
each other are ike individuals who are each
others customers-the prosperity of the one is the
prosperity OF the other and the adversely of the
one the adversely of the other Next TO a crop
failure in this country, crop failure in England is
the worst thing that could happen for the United
States.
The advices from the cotton regions become less
gloomy. We hear less about drought and short
crops, and more about large yields. The proba
biity is that the stories of drought which have
been current have been exaggerated, and that the
cotton crop viii prove a very fair average. We
have published several statements Of last years
crop. We now give another from yesterdays
