quence of the cautious attitude they have

TIE COTTON TRADE.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Manchester Guardian
says until the scarcity begins actually to be
felt, and not merely threatened, it is not likely
the short time policy at Oldham will have any
marked effect on demand or prices. The def
cheney in the supply Of cotton, now being
painfully realized, means ultimately defcier-
cy in the supply of yarns and cloth. The cot
ton operatives at Leigh have struck against the
5 per cent. reduction of wages and the masters
threaten to close the mill, alleging they can buy
goods cheaper than they can produce them.
The masters at Ashton refused an interview to
the operatives. The main strength of the
strike would resume work if notices of reduc-
ton of wages were withdrawn, if only for q
month, and the question of reduction then dis
cussed, If trade had not in the mean time i'm
proved.
