tracts for servile laoor, which, he said, was in.
tenued to break up the system of coolie con
tracts, by which the Chinese laborers were i'm
ported to this country and held to labor fol
four years. The contract is to return the Chi
nese, dead or alive, to his own country at the
end of four years, and the religious feelings o.
the Chinese prevented them from breaking
their contract. This, he said, Is really sys'
tenn ofservile labor. The wages are exceed
ingly low and can be called by no means free.
The bill provides that no contracts with the
Chinese shall be good longer than six months.

The movement of the IudIa crop has been
delayed equal TO two months, chiefly from q
tardy maturity and more tardy preparation
for market. We have not changed our opin-
ion, early expressed, that the India crop now
coming in, Is considerably larger than the pre-
cedlng one. Its shipments from Bombay to
Europe stands about 1901 bales behind that
of last year. There are but two or three
weeks more before the early monsoon, when
its movement should nearly cease until Octo-
ber according to the experience of previous
years. The receipts in Bombay are very
heavy, and Increasing weekly. 1t seems pro-
bable that in the last quarter of the year there
will be such an accumulation OF cotton in

en- them preference in market; but the neces-
sity for new cloth comes all the sooner.
The inference from all this Is, that there
must soon come large and necessitous de-
mand for the production OF all our cotton
mills. There Is limit to the "waiting for
lower prices.' These may come, but whether
at higher or lower prices the want, now real,
though unseen, will become urgent and visible,
and when once recognized by the trade, there
will be no idle looms Our manufacturers have
now the dullness of the summer before them.
tt may be eXpedlent now, as In 1868 and 1869,
to shorten the production in all mills whose
fabrics do not sell close up. 1t would tend to
hasten the turn in their favor, as the same
policy produced it in 1868, when the few weeks
of short work were followed by very profta-
BILE autumn and winter. A suggestion has
been recently made that manufacturers should
Such thing Is impracticable, and would be
wholly ineXpedient If feasible. Even concert
ed action of this character is unwise. Every
manufacturer should decide upon his own case,
according to its facts, of market and Of profit
or loss, present and prospective. 1t would,
seem now quite sure that there will or can be
no further material decline in the general
value Of cotton goods, except such as may
properly result from decline In the price OF
cotton. We need make no prediction in re-
gard to that, especially now when the whole
cotton-deallng world, awakening from Its long,
sustained blunder as TO the supply of the cur
rent year. is carrying its opinion to the oppo-
site extreme and looking for superabundance

For the first Il weeks OF 1870 the trade nave
taken (for consumption) at the average rate of
rs, ,l5O American, and $4,000 East Indian per
week, from Liverpool. 1t will be observed
that the quantities Tor the first q weeks are
from Liverpool only, while for the whole year
they include deliveries from London, &c.
Nearly all the American cotton goes to Liver
pool. while London gets a large share Of the
India cotton, materially changing the proper
tIons for the whole year. So far the proper
tions approximate those of 1868, and indicate
a weekly average for the whole Of 1870 about
$4,000 bales American. and 1880 bales OF
East India cotton This would call for an av-
erage rate from now to December 81, OF 2l 800
American bales per week, and covers an aver
are increase Of consumption of all sorts equal
to $500 to 1000 bales per week for the whole
year. Compared with 1869, a total increase OF
about 200, 600 bales. The continent has been
slowly Increasing its consumption from year to
year. Last year, worked to its full spinning
capacity. it can Increase this year only by in
crease oilts machinery or BY heavier work. If
the new spindles be reckoned at an increase
of six per cent, which is hardly probable, they
will require an increase of only 100, 600 bales of
cotton. 10 sum up: The increase in Ameri-
can supply actual and offered to Europe from
