FRENcH MANUFACTURERS AND THE New TARTFF-
A Traveller Just returned from visiting the cotton
manufactures at Rouen and Mulhouse states that
IN those towns, where the manufacturers appre
henoed ruin from the treaty of commerce with
England, they now laugh at their previous fears
OF English competition. They have discovered
that the reduction in the price of cotton thread,
and the introduction into France of some rarticuls
description of haxen thread, have completely saved
the French market from the invasion of English
cnttons They expect even to compete with En-
glish manufacturers in foreign markets. who're they
two cents in the price which the English possess
will be more than counter5alanced by the admitted
suPsrlorlty OF French clOths-morc solid and more
highly finished than the English. The manufac-
turers OF hulhouse say they fear no other comre-
tition than that of the Swiss and Germans who
manufacture a certain description OF calico twen-
y and twenty-five per cent cheaper than the
French, because the Swiss and German spinners.
not being protected, are content with profit of
hve and six per cent on the produce while the
French spinners levy tribute Of TWENTY-FIVE per
cent on the consumer. The consequence is thai
the cotton printers in Alsace forced to import
cameo from their neighbors on the other side OF
the Rhine, the condition of re expor ting it after
it has been printed in France. The French wool
len manufacturers likewise now admit that they
can compete successfully with the English.-Paris
