TACT that the "Statesman's Year Book
for 1885 gave the area of British
Guiana as 10000 square miles, while
the edition of 1895 puts IT at 100. 900
square miles. Thus within ten years
there has been an increase of 33, 900
square miles, and yet there has been
no recognized proceeding for such an
acquisition of territory. The Year
Book" is a standard British authority
on geography and statistics, but this re-
markable variation needs explanation,
to say the least.

Christians, and hardly a week has gone
by since without fresh atrocities in
which thousands of the Christian sub
jects of the sultan have persisted. The
six powers have assembled near Con
stantlnople and added half a dozen
small vessels to the guard ships at the
city, which, so far as the suffering
Christians are concerned, is merely an
exhibition of impotence. This fact
alone is reason enough why the rule of
Europe should be barred out of

The Cott0n-Goods Trade.

MANCHESTER, ENG, January 2.-
The Guardian in it's commercial article
to-day says the Improvement in Ameri-
can cotton at Liverpool has impaired a
little strength to the goods trade in Man
chester. and the general appearances Of
the market is steady, with occasional
instances OF increased willingness to sell.
Buyers, however. are unwilling to pur-
chase beyond their actual requirements
until the distant markets shall have
contributed better prices than have ruled
recently. Occasionally lines OF shrtings
have been negotiated where the difference
between manufacturer and merchant has
been narrow. The lower sorts of goods
are unprofitable. and the reluctance
to make concessions has frequently
stopped business.
The India inquiry has been slower and
the replies TO offers have been disappoint-
ing. There have been occasional offers
from China at low prices. and little bust
ness has been executed. The smaller for
eign markets have generally been
quiet.
The demand for yarns at the opening
promised a good business. but the close
was poor Spinners are often firm but
less trade is possible. Sometimes low
bids have been accepted.
