COTTON IMPORTS.
1t appears that the imports of raw cotton in
the four months ending the 30th Of April amounted
GO cwt or nearly double the corresponding quan.

only 9 93s cwt 10 hand Tie increase observable
is spread over all sources Of supply, even the United
States having sent 10 s cwt 10 the 30th Of April this
