The Comparative Weld of Gotten.

from W. G. Watts g. Co.'s UiverpooD Circular,
September 27]
First-If we take the Chronicles figures Of
acreage, total crop and weight per BALE and
allow 8 per cent for tare, etc, the net yield
per acre for the last five seasons was as fol-
lows
Season. $500 1894 1915 1856 1867 1915
Yield. pounds
per aore.... ITO 1863 1873 172 1884,
Which shows that the yield last season was
1876 n84 against 1873 instead Of rs per cent
as per the table given in our last report.
Second-If the yield was last season 32s per
cent larger than the great crop OF 1876, can
we reasonably expect an !. improvement nus
into proverb that "we never have large
yield two years in succession
The above table seems to confirm the proverb.
In 1873-A the yield was ITO pounds; In 1874 Is
itfel to 1881 In 1876 rs 1t rose to 178; in 1876
it fell to 172; and in 1877 -78 it rose to 1874. An
average yield this season on the acreage
planted, as per Chronicle, would produce
4,779,0OO bales, of 440 pounds net weight;
bale heavier In 1878 than In 1861. then Amer
lean spinners consumed last season 148,539
bales, Of the average weight OF 44o pounds. more
than the previous season instead OF LOT 600 bales
increase as appears on the lace OF the sta
tistics."
season have been 80 heavy as represented. II
follows that consumption has not been so seri-
ously diminished by war. bad trade, ETC., as we
have supposed,
That tie yield last season was large is In
dsputable. The rains In October and No,
vember 1t was supposed, at the time, would
materially lessen the crop. This 1t now ap.
pears was mistake, for the rains and milo
weather prevented damage from frost and
prolonged the picking season. On this point

Memphis Avalanche, will be Of interest, show

THREATENED BUSINESS CRISIS IN GREAT
BRTrAIN-There seems to be ground to fear
lest the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank,
like that of Jay Cooke in this country In 1873,
is the precursor of q serious business crisis
in Great Britain. That country, as is well
known, has been eating her capital ever since
1876. the failure Of the City, of Glasgow
Bank seems to have been mainly caused by
its efforts to sustain some houses very largely
embarked in enterprises in India, and it is
well known that the India trade, once 80
profitable and so safe, has been in precari-
Gus state ever since its conditions were
changed by the completion OF the suez
canal. That new route was opened TO com
merce In 1869. It shortened the voyage TO lndla,
threw numbers Of Indiamen out OF duty, en-
tirelv changed the course and conditions OF
exchange-already much disturbed by Ihe
development of cotton culture in India, dur
ing our civil war and its subsequent collapse
and pretty much broke up all the tradl-
tional ways OF doing business with the East
Indies Many of the old India houses made
a gallant struggle, but one by one they seem
to have succumbed, their capital and savings
being gradually engulphed in unproductive
business, and the firms upheld by the City OF
Glasgow Bank were probably houses which
have striven In vain, and at heavy loss, to &C.
commodate themselves to the new order OF
things. Besides this dry rot in the Indian

foreign-made carpets Chiefly Britisil to the

LONDON, Oct. "A dispatch from Buch-
Arrest saws it is rumored that there will be a
new convention between Russia and Rou-
mania which will give the former the right
of passage through the Dobrudscha in case
of a future war with Turkey.
The total liabilities Of Smith, Fleming &
Co., East India merchants, whose failure
was announced yesterday, is estimated at
over .e10, 000, 900. The liabilities at their
corresponding firms, which fail with them,
are doubtless considerably less. 1t is under
stood, however, that in consequence OF eX-
changes Of paper between the City OF elias
gov Bank and the East India houses, the
same set of liabilities will be touud repeated
in the balance sheets OF the three failed
house. The Financer says it is morally GER
tain that all the firms connected iii this sort
of circular bill flying must succumb. One
house in Scotland and Australia is concern
ed in this paper to the extent OF $4,000, QUO;
one doing business in Scotland and East In
dia, $3.50, 900; one located IN East India owes
the bank 5000, 600 for acceptances and $$3,-
100000 for cash advanced. The other affil-
lated Indian houses aggregate an indebted
hess of Sc, 1850, 900. The Financer estimates
that the shareholders of the City of elias
Cow bank must meet a deficit of $2O,0OO,0O
placing the failure among The most disast-
rous on record.

current that some Of the directors of the City
OF Glasgow bank received enormous adj
