As 10 the East India cotton crop, the Dom
bay company's report says: 'Thc quality
this year ON the whole has been most disap.
pointing The estimates Of this crop are
being still further reduced, and Il Il now an.
ticipatcd that the receipts will fall short even
Of last year, when It will be remembered
there was a shorter outtum than usual
Taking into account, however, the undoubted
short ontturn IN the Bciars, and the reduced
estimates Of both the Dholerah and liroacl
crops, there Il no reason 10 alter the opinion
already expressed that the exports "a
Europe during the current xix months ar
not likely 10 be more than $4,000 bales"

Too Many Weak Eyed Children.

There aro certainly too many specialized

The oculists are too busy, and the strong eyed

furnished the evenings radiance at home, or
the Pickering gas famo was the only light
whereby the printed page was conned, there
we're legitimate reasons for impaired sight.
But now the poorest can revel in homo light
that is second only to daylight, and shaded
lamps and improved lights of various kinds
make tho home brighter than ever before. A
