lobbing bodies that have ever assem-
bled at Washington. Monopolies
and capitalists receive special favors
from their hands, and any project,
however unjust, that furnishes a
good margin for distribution is push

CorToN ExPoRTs.-The June re
port of the Agricultural Department
gives comparison between the
amount OF raw cotton imported from
the United States into Great Britain.
during four months OF last year and
the four corresponding months of the
present year. Tt exceeds the quantity
imported from India by almost LOO
per cent, and almost exactly equals
the total from all the other localities.
1t is equivalent to sos, 726 bales of
400 pounds each.
The report says: $500. 600 bales
III four months and $4,000, 600 are
respectable figures in the trade With
one foreign nation, even for the
palmiest days Of cotton shipping
from the ports of the United States. "
The report also shows that Great
Britain buys, this season, ten times
as much wheat from Russia :. from
rs, and from france nearly six times
as much. Only little more than
tour per cent. Of her 1000, 600 of
100 weight are brought from the
United States.
