We have received Smith, Edwards &
Co.'s excellent Liverpool monthly cot
ton circular Of May Slst, from which we
take the following particulars: 1.-THE
Manchester market was very dull all
through the past month, and great COM
plants were made Aof the difficulty in
selling the lower classes Of yarn. The
better kinds Of both cloth and yarn kept
steady, but we have to note the same
feature as in the previous month, that
cloth is occupying q stronger position
than yarn, and likely to do so for long
time to come. There is no sign OF over
production Of cloth, but decided signs of
over production in various descriptions
of yarn. Several new spinning mills
will soon come into operation at Old
ham, but few new looms are putting up,
and IS the year gees on the margin be-
tween cloth and yarn will probably in
crease. The greatly reduced dividends
of the joint stock mills at Oldham, and
the fall in the value OF their shares,
show how much less profitable the spin
ming trade has become. There is gen.
eral disappointment felt in Manchester
at the adverse turn things have taken.
The unexpected dulles Of May was ow.
ing TO accumulation Of stock in Liver
pool, weakness in the American market,
large receipts in Bombay, and absence
Of call from the trade who
have fallen back on the stock they
have in. hand. Taking the run Of things
into account, however, the deficiency
for the remainder Of the year will prob
ably be 3C0, 600 bales which would open
next season with the same stock as in
1873, when middling quoted Sd. This
will require crop receipt Of 4, $50, 900 to
I'LL up deficiencies and supply wants.
We therefore think that our market will
be very sensitive 10 any account OF dam
age to the crop during the autumn, and

counts to keep down the feeling that
higher prices are before us. On the con-
tinent we do not think spinners hold
large stocks; Germany, In particular, is |
very bare OF cotton, and must be large !
buyer before very long; indeed, ii is dis
hcult to see what the continent will d.
for American cotton this year; its visi- |
bic supply is l9O, 900 bales less, and the |
season for importing from America is |
nearly over. 1t must either buy largely |
here in the autumn, or take the first ar

THE REPORTED CATHOLIC scHIsM

HOW THE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS CONVERTED THE
CATHOLICS OF PoDLAcHh.
The reported secession OK 80, 900 members OF the
Cathonc church In Poland to the Greek CHURCH.
which created u profound sensation IN religious
circles recently turns out TO be a very different
affair from what was at first supposed. The PuU
Man Gazette and the London Iubtet have published
articles recently on the subject founded on
letter written to the former by Count Ladlsias
Platter. This gentleman denies in emphatic terms
over spontaneously to the Russian comm union
thereto. 1t was by shedding the blood OF
every man who resisted, by reducing whole
populations to misery and by every
means OF persecution protracted beyond
the strength OF human endurance, that
q material submission" OF the suffering Cath
Olics ana That only was obtained. ~ is tnus, con-
tinues the Count. that Russia has proceeded in
poland. since the days of Catherine II. In the
work OF conversion. The Russian newspapers
themselves acknowledge the massacrcs which
were begun year ago IN Podlachia, that part OF
the Empire where the supposed conversions have
taken place, but where, III TACT, there have been
no conversions at all. The most cIrcums tan tlal
details have been published upon the sublec., and
a commemorative medal, struck in Gallicia, will
perpetuate the memory OF this martyrdom. The
London Tablet editorially says:-"We were aware
