COMPLICATION AMONG COTTON M~ANUFACTU-
REIlS.
The complications among the cotton manu.
facturers of Germany and France, arising
from the annexation OF Alsace and from the
new commercial treaty, are interesting. Be
fore the recent war the number Of spindles
in France was 100000, and in Germany
In 1855 there were 8,2Dy0O0 spindles In France,
and about S,S5 Oo0in Germany. Of tho 900 eco
spindles In France, before the war, 100000
were In A'sace. This transfer Of 100000 spin
dies into the ZOllveTein, which already pos
sessed B,e00.O0O, caused serious alarm among
the German spinners, who feared tina their
market would be Hooded with MulhOuse cot
ton fahEtcs. The removal OF 2laO0.oOo spindles
from France, with q slightly diminished Pop
ulatton, wOuid under protective duties, have
been very profitable 10 the manufacturers of
Rouen, BOurbaix and Condee. Tn latter,
however. now fearthat, uader the commercial
treaty, other German cottOns VIII be Struggled
into France and that sO-cailed Alsatisn goods
" II Hood their own market. The MulhOuSe
~spinner3, 20 quiet these fears, have agreed that
al Alsatian fabrics shall he stamped, and that
certificates OF origin shall be attached, the
united manufacturers being represented hy a
syndicate"

and profitable field TO operate in. Two weeks
ago corn was worth from first hands, TO-. It
has been selling Tor the past two days for 5e,
simply because something over 100 SACKS ar

better feeling tO-osy, from the fact that this
corn has passed into the hands OF dealers who
are holding st q good profit, but a fresh ar
rival would keep the market down and have a

outlet for trade beyond the local demand. A
