A Scarcity of Cotton Threatened.

Mr.. McHeury, author Of the "Oo:ton Trade" Is sta
ted by the London LHdsz to have written letter to the
Standard in which no gays tina. the total stock of cot
ton in Europe and the Yankee SsteJ lst January,
1854 amounted to but 600 900 OF bales Of 400 pounds
We ght each ofthis stock the Federal States possess

better Sorts which 1t ia impossible to- obtain. Such is
the supply. As the demand it is sufficient observe
that in 1850 the manufacturers both sides Of the
Atlantic apparently used up 5000, OO0--really but
500 OOO-thasis only the latter quantity was taken by
people using and wearing cotton goods Supposug
the wants of the world to be what they four years
ago. and deducting 100000 bales that sold every
year in manufactured condition to supply the Con-
lederae Safes ths deficiency will b, 400 900 bales-
that ia, the consumers who depen1 upon Europe and
YankeedOm for their cotton goods will fall that far short
of getting their supply.
In the meantime the distress Of the manufacturing
districts already sufficiently appalling, is increasing at
portenous rate the town Of Preston alone twenty
eight mills had closed in January and the number Of
persons entirely without work in consequence was
IL 299 The entire number of psreons receiving chart
table assistance is 10000 all because the mills have

the inbuman neutrality" of Lord Pslmerston reduced

OF the 500 900 bales alluded to, little more than
half came from Indis-that is 10 say, 1850 900 bales
Mr. McIlenry says there will not be bale in the
