costing Sf5,0OO,O00. Nearly ali the imports of wool under the
late tariff came at either three or four cents per pound duty,
averaging less than four cents The woods Of Australia and
south Africa, which are fine merinos, are inyoc ed at less than

COTros At THE soum.-Messrs. Neil Brothers. an English
house who have their agents in ali the Southern States, have
lately issued a circular, in which they state that the supply Of
cotton in the South at the close Of the war was 10000 900 bales,
oue-half Of which has already been sent TO market. This large
supply, averaging 100 pounds to the bale, yields to the Govern
ment upon its present revenue tax Of two cents per pound.
SlsIOOo-COO- IT. however. the tax should be increased TO 10
ceats per pound during the coming year, as has been proposed,
and the crop should be a fair one. the revenue to the Govern
meat from this one article would be enormous. This heavy
duty could be laid upon cotton without detriment. from the fact
that no country in the world can supply the market at home or
abroad with as hne a quality or at Is cheap a rate. The ad-
vantage gained Is the large revenue raised at a comparatively
small cost, with but Little opportunity Of producers avoiding the
tax, AMI a large income from foreign consumers.
