Printing cloths, the Providence jour
nal says, are dull, Notwithstanding the
steady advance in the price Of pIints
during the week, the market for cloths
has been less strong, and the prices are
hardly so firm, affording poor encourage

gray goods in the hands Of printers is
believed TO be quite light, and the COM
ing week will doubtless see more activ-
ity.

The imports Of cotton from India to
Liverpool from January l to date had
been 57s,sl0 bales, against 1,OSB, 321 bales
in 1866. The decrease shown here in the
amount of cotton received from India in
lS66-the first year after the end OF our
war-was so great as TO encourage at first
the idea that the production in that
country would fall back to its former
comparatively small amount, and leave
to "a southern states the supremacy ia
the liverpool market.
It has since appeared, however, that
the cotton production of India has been
30 greatly stimulated by the high prices
Of the past few years that there is every
prospect Of its continuance, and that In
the present year the export to Great
Britain viii be large.
