trade of Europe for the season of 1874 and
1875. This takes the place of the annual cir
cular of OFT Trumpler, of Zurich, which has
been discontinued. A comparison of the de-
liveries Of cotton in Great Britain and the
Continent for the past seasons does not show
that tho consumption of the Continent is
gaining ground upon that of Great Britain
where the consumption was less last season
than in any of the previous four, and may be
taken az q mere passing variation, such as the
Continental figures also show.
Judging from the weekly deliveries the
falling off has been about the sane in both

area sOwn this season in America IL about
8, 755 900 acres, or 1888 600 acres, representing
100, 900 bales, less than the average OF tina
previous three seasons.
Tho season does not promise 10 differ mate
rally from the average of 1874 and 1876.
The yield is not likely, therefore, to show
any very important variations from 4,000S0G

American spinners will require about 800, coo
bales; this would leave 2 zoe, 600 bales for
Europe out of total of 1000. 900 bales, or
2, SOC, 600 out of total of 40 600.
On the basis of these figures reasonable
estimate Of the import into Europe for the
season would be 2, $50, 900 bales.
The average import from Iada during the
past two seasons has fallen short of ], 500, 600
