Raw Cotton Supply.
The exports of cotton manufactures to
China in the past year have materially
fallen OFF though the reduction in i'm
ports OF American cottons into China is
10 greater proDOrtiOuately than the re-
duction in such imports from other coun,
tries. This reduction in importations Of
cotton goods into China is due in part TO
the unsettled conditions which have pre-
vailed during the year, and In part TO the
increased impOrJatiOns Of cotton yarn
and increased domestic production or
cotton goods.
Russian Competition.
Kerosene is an even more important
item in our exports to the Orient. and
in this article the trade is barely hold

Sumatra providing a very active com
pettor. To China the exports Of miner

with regard to anything Of the kind. In
consequence of an accident, with
tragical termination, which he had
once witnessed Dr. jeremiah Cart
wright. recalled at this iuncture. here
stated his firm conviction that the
wound had not been selfaniiicfed,
which he proceeded To prove. to h!s
own satisfaction and the entire be
wilderment OF everybody else present,
by the aid of a great many polysyiia-
bic expressions and torrent OF pro
fessional phraseoiogy. which swept
everyone OF their feet, but which. on
being filtered down for the benefit OF
the uniearned, merely amounted to
the following facts. viz, that the edges
Of the wound. by which the bullet had
made its entrance, were torn and
lacerated, as well as blackened and
burnt by the action of the gunpow-
dsx. that the skin in the vicinity OF
the wound was blistered, the bleeding
slight, and chiefly from the orifice oil
exit, and the two openings In the
scalp nearly opposite each other.

evidence to a conclusion, row gave
place to another witness. and one in
whose power 1t might be to help to
unravel the mystery. This last was
the guard Of the 4:30 train-an in
telligent looking man, who, with q
bandage round his head and one arm
in a sling, bore tokens of the injuries
he had received in jumping from the
train while 1t was In motion.
On being questioned as to what he
knew of the matter. he replied. with
out any hesitation. that he remem-
bered the fourth carriage from the
engine well. and the passengers that
II contained in that particular COM
partment
WAS he sure that there was more
than one passenger In that compart-
ment Of the carriage referred to-"
