The European Cotton Trade.

The annual review of the cotton trade
in Europe just published by Messrs. Elli-
son & Co., of Liverpool, recognized
authorities on.thIs subject, shows that the
activity which set in about two years ago
has kept up during the past year and
promises TO continue. In Great Britain
$50. 900 more spindles were running and
220, 900 more bales of cotton were con-
sumed than during the previous year.
There was also a marked increase in the
number Of spindles in operation
and the quantity of cotton con-
sumed on the continent. The
average weekly consumption of all
Europe was 125, 500 bales, or, making al
lowance for extra waste. 1872 900 bales for
the past year. against ZIG, 200 during the
previous year. This year it is expected
to reach $4,000 bales. Messrs Ellison
s. Co. estimate the probable require.
ments of Europe for the coming year at
6.70S,OOO bales Of 400 pounds each, of
which a, 74S, 900 bales of that size will be
required from this country. As the last
American crop exceeded six and half
million bales Of about 4S5 pounds each
our supply Of cotton will doubtless be
ample for both the foreign and the home
demand The authorities above cited
express the opinion that whatever fuctu-
atoms may take place during the season
the average price Of raw cotton in the
European market is likely to be rather
under than over that of the past season.
