has been generally given, but in some cases
has to be purchased, aud this, togethertwith
depot sites, &c., it ls estimated, will take an
other $50, 900 of stock. The road was par.i
TALLY graded during the war, and the work.
done represents the sl50,000 first named.j

Ing got out, and that the work is actively pro-

INDIA CoTroN.-We published last week
carefully prepared history of the condition
Of the culture Of cotton in India "It!is from
the pen Of u gentleman, says the New York
Tribune, "long connected officially with the
British administration in that country, has
abundant sources Of information, and has de.
voted special attention to the subject" II
appears from this article that Great Britain
has nearly doubled the amount of cotton hom
that source, and yet the supply is falling off
and American cotton is increasing in use In
Manchester The outing of of the supply
from America during the war does not seem,
however, to have rcdounded to the benefit of
the Indian producers. If there has ever bcen
any doubt in the minds Of our people that
American cotton will always retain its supre.
macy7iu quality and quantity in the markets
of the world, careful perasal Of the article
in question will dispel It. King cotton has
not yet laid aside his scepter.! I in3 g4 o1t
