Hero, it will bo perceived that the per capita homo
consumption Of cotton goods has undergone de-
crease OF no loss than thrtythree per cont. since
lb5g-6l. Some portion Of tho decline Is duo, no
doubt, to tho depressed state OF trade; but the
creator part s attributable TO tho increased use OF
clothing mado from wool and FAX. The foreign
branch OF The trade compares moro fnyorably with
the pre-war years tim tho home branch, owing
TO the fact that heclimates Of some Of our largest
oustomors preolpded any material substitute Of
woollen for cotton clothing. during tho period OF
high prices. Tho hIgh prices led TO reduced con-
sumption. but did hot create competitor, while
the subsequent decline has Increased consumption
and the revival has boon all tho moro rapid
because there WAS no Formidable competitor TO
supplant. Moreover, the immense amount OF
veal b poured into India, Turkey, Egypt &C., in
payment OF, cotton, has enabled tho people OF
those countries to become moro extensive consul
mers OF our cotton p,oducts than would have been
the cnso IL wo had received our raw material from
other quarters. Besides, it should not be over
looked that aome portion Of the increased deliv-
cries to tho foreign countries is moro apparent
than real largo quantity Of the goods exported
in the course Of tho past six or eight months be-
ing auat, or still in stock at tho various ports,
and which may not bc taken by actual consumers,
except at further reduction in price than We
have yet witnessed.
