It will be noticed how slowly this industry,
which was once large enough to supply mos'
of tho entire West with sugar, has for some
years been recovering from the disorders
brought on by the war. To such an extent
did Louisiana monopolize the Western trade
at one time that the introduction in those
markets of Eastern refined West India sugar
was q slow and tedious process, so fixed had
become the taste for the Louisiana product
The falling off in the yield in that State coz
temporary with the war, however, caused q
large transfer of trade here to the West, SO
that refined sugar of Eastern man ufacture has
become q standard article of consumption
alike in the West as here in the East.
But if Louisiana goes on pushing things
that of 1861-nearly AGO, 900 hogsheads-she
will certainly regain the large share of the
trade of which the war deprived her. The
arrangement Of the labor system, together
with the wholesale destruction of plantations,
mills, and machinery during the period al
luded to, has been succeeded now by i'm
proved methods of industry, and the re.
equipment OF the ravaged plantations; so
that all the conditions are restored for in
creasing the production to something like the
figure of the most prosperous previous years.

Liverpool Cotton Report.
Z
Cotton Market, Liverpool, Oct. 20, We take
the following:
The October reports from six out of the nine
departments representing the National Cotton
Exchange have now reached us, and these as
near as We can make cut, indicate crop of
only about 8, 900,0 900 bales, and by some this
is still regarded as a conservative estimate,
the very large receipts being attributed to
high water in the Southern rivers, and to po-
litical excitement in Mississippi, causing
planters to hurry forward their crops.
The actual stock of American and long
stapled cotton here was declared this morn
ing and turns out to be 81, 700 bales larger
than the running count, namely: an excess of
lao Brazil, 20, GAO Egyptian and $500 West
Indian, and decrease OF 445O American and
800 Smyrna. The excess in the stock here
found at the close Of last year amounted to
IS, $50 bales, or Sc, $50 more than the excess
just discovered, consequently the result has
rather strengthened than Otherwise the posi-
ton of our market. Assuming that the error
of SO. $50 bales, discovered at the close OF
December last, should be distributed over the
last six months of the year--for the stock was
counted last year at the close Of June-the
stock here at this time last year, instead of
being SSH bales as per our table, should
be about $50, 900, or say 5000 more than at
Dr6S6QL.
against 100, 900 last year.
There are now afoat for Liverpool and
London from America. India, Egypt and Bra
iii 27l, 900 against 337, 700 last year, making
the total deficit 1872 ono bales, as compared
with this date last year. II to this We add
S. 900 bales decreased stocks OF cotton held
by English spinners, the actual supply IN and
atioat for Great Britain is now 25O, 600 bales
less than it was twelve months ago. These
figures may not exert any marked influence
on the immediate future course of our mar
ket, but the time will certainty come when
they will have an important bearing
Gold and silver.
The Boston Traueler has been figuring up
on gold and silver, and finds that since the
days of Noah IS, 900, coo, 900 worth has been
found. The store of the Christian world has
footed up about s2. 900, 900, 900, most of which
has been wasted in various ways by gilders,
shipwreck, and fire, and the loss is going on
at the rate of el6 000 900 a year, while the
production is e40, 900, 900. There is bal
ance on hand of ESQ O00, 900, of which fully
ene-half is held in ornaments and plate. Of
the e3, OOO 600 600 in the ante Christian world.
af er all waste is accounted for, it is believed
that over 81, 000, 900, 600 has been hidden in
Asiatic lands in now forgotten hidden places
in different ages of the world 1t is we'll
known that elO0 900, 600 was thus disposed of
in India and China in the six years 1852 1857. |
