The T;n,eg OF the Cotssu Trad,

A heavy fl! in the price of cotton would be the re-
suit OF peace aud every such tall will lessen tie amount
required for carrying the trade that Increased
business might be effected with the employment 0f
diminished capital Just in proportion, too, the
trade shall to America will be the saving of dis
tarca in the transmission alike of money the one
land and the return produce the other The fact,
also, is to be considered that money flowing to America
IS not buried converted into trinkets and Withdrawn
rom circulation as in Indla and to some extent like
wise in Egypt. Moreover, fall in the price of the
staple would at canse large foreign orders, which
have been withheld under existing Circm stances fer
our Manufactured goods to be executed by our mar
chants and drawn for to have important effect
upon the various exchanges. Fins!ly the most signd
point is that, if the Southern States could
ship their cotton with the speed which persons ignorant
of the difficulties CT transport after the fancy to be
practicable, there would ground TO suppose that
should have any heavy specie balance to remit to
them. Although are bare OF American cotton, both
Northern aud Southern States absolutely bare Of
supplies Of nearly ell other kinds of goods It may be
doubted in that respect the aggregate value OF their
requirements would not be iound exceed that of all
the cotton they could under the most favourable
circumstances at present send to and our bonded
for the most part well stocked with the
principal articles of produce prepared at any
moment to meet these wants.
