The Improvement I'm the market for Amnr-
can goods Is thus shown to have increased
rapidly in the last four years. The Boston
Daily Advertiser has the interesting nforma-
tion that Messrs. Russell, OF China have sent
nm agent to this country to visit tho cotton
mills, and make arrangements to procure
here exclusively cloths of pure cotton of
brands largely consumed In China, and hith-
prto obtained from England The agent has
found the machinery in our mills superior In
many respects to that used in England, the
help more intelligent, less of it required in
this particular branch, and consequently, In
the aggregate, cheaper; and, with the raw
material at its low cost, he Is sanguine of sup
plying China largely from our mills. In fact,
he has already succeeded in having shirtings
made satisfactory in organization, effect, and
cheapness. The effect Of this new develop
nent of our export trade cannot fail to be
very beneficial. China is heavy customer.
The New York Star of the thirteenth in
slant contains an interesting account of an
Interview held with one of the largest cigar
manufacturers OF that city, recently returned
from Washington, In regard to the tobacco
tax and the chances of the passage of the
bill, etc. We make the following extract:
He said that great deal conferred in the
reduction OF the present tax on tobacco to 16
cents. The South and West favored the re-
uuction--the South because a5 a rule the
manufacturers there are unable to pay the
present heavy tax, and the West because
they think the North is making them pay the
larger share of the "a per cent tax now i'm
posed on. leaf tobacco, they being in reality
the greatest producers and original dealers
in that article. Their representatives are
foverrun with letters demanding that they
hold out and make no compromise with the
North, but the matter has become so serious
that to settle the difficulty many would agree
to q compromise fixing the rate at 20 cents in
stead of the present "a cents.
eThe question of reduction" Mr.. Straiton
continued, ''has been postponed 50 long that
1t Is tending to ruin the trade. In all proba-
bility the is per cent tax will pass the House
by small majority, but fail In the Senate. A
tax OF 20 cents on tobacco and 50 per 1000 on
March 8. 1875 increasing the tax, will give the
S40,o0O0oO revenue demanded from tobacco
