We take the following article about the new
cotton crop from the Atlanta Constitution:

cotton crop from the Atlanta Constitutions
The careful reader OF the English news In
yesterdays Constitution must have fully
taken In the fact that mill hands and mill
owners alike think that something must be
done to reduce the price Of raw cotton. The
but they are solid IN the belief that the price
of cotton should be squeezed down to the
lowest possible figure. The Ashton Trade
Union says that strike would at least re-
duce production-whic means, OF course, q
reduction In the price of cotton; the share
holders of the Oldham mills propose to run
their spindles either on short time or stop
them altogether, $50 as to bring a pressure to
bear on the Liverpool cotton market" These
facts are significant, and very much the
fashion at this season OF the year. In one Way

The total foreign commerce OF the United
States during the year just closed has been
larger than during any year since the origin
OF the government. The amount Of mer-
chandise exported was greater than any pre-
vious year. The amount OF merchandise i'm
ported was greater than any year since the
panic Of 1873. From the year 1868 to 1878 the
imports Of merchandise largely exceeded the
exports, but after the panic change took place,
and instead Of an excess of imports ranging
from forty to two hundred millions each year,
the balance OF trade has been largely In our
favor and rapidly increasing, as the following
will show:

with very brisk and satisfactory iobblng
trade in progress both here and elsewhere,
assortments have been very much broken,
and a considerable portion of the new bust
ness which has been done by agents has been
accompanied by requests for immediate
delivery. Values are firmly held, and the
tendency toward more or less cutting in
prices which was noticeable few weeks ago
has been entirely checked. Cotton goods,
which we're rather sluggish during the month
Of August, have met with a decided improve

stocks well in hand and cotton advancing,
there Is no disposition to yield concessions.

improved request, and fannels have met
with an especially active inquiry since our

not been diminished to such an extent that
new assortments are necessary, and with
wool advancing and the supply Of goods con-
siderably less than the demand, values are
tending upward. The deliveries of mems
