Let us look at these in tgrn. Previous to the ar, the UnIted States habitually furnish abeut 76 per sent. of our entire importato. In 1869 and 1860 t hey seat us 4,660.000 bales ont of 6,194.. 000.

In the same manner Egypt and,Bra iU respectively trebled their produotion, and -last year supplied J80,00 bales be. 'twean them. This year we E ptian crop fAlled to.a onsiderable estant, bUt the fa4i. *sure It not expected to be more than terpo. -ary. Besides these so'e of supply the West Indie, Turkey ang.

TM it will be seen tjMt. we *ere fast beconAng, as far as mere 46ality was concerned, olermbiy independa of the United tates. But this ioependoe did not exteid eitl4r to quality 6r prilde. No 4ther Country was able to tarnish so pre. 6isely the sort of eotton ould fhuish the. right quality at so low 0 rate.

Stte etawa~ in ligence, boundless water faoilities for-trens. port, and unlimited supply of labor, have been able to surpass -and nearly drive awa all competitors, and to produce a good - ole cheaper tha an y other country. Speaking roughly, we may say that before the war we only bought Indi4a ootton be. cause it was oheaper than Orleans, and Egyptian or Brasil because we want4d that special quality forspecial purposes, and be 4ause the UnI&A States could not send gs quiteas much as we required. But negro labor in the oottob States will be neither as cheap; sa abundant, nor as reliably at com. mond as It used to be; probably years may elapse before the American crop attains its former dimensions, and it can never, in all likelihood, be grown at its former cost. We must, perhaps, iever look-certainly not for a long period-to have middling Orleans sold in Liverpool, as it has been, at 4d. per pound, with a handsome profit on the trans. Attion. But we have no idea that either Egypt or India will at any time be able to grow cotton as uocessfull- or economically as the Uni. ted gtates, and the result which all oonsid. oratk.. point to as the most probable we appreM to be this: The A"a supply will, ft9rVy year, constitute a ter Pro t on 9& tela Importation, 99 In former tmes f t still rewIs a conside. rable 'argin of6t, *hiolf Aast be sup pliqd om-the 614 46u'f.s; and as prices will imain permaztn" highei this mar gin OfRl be relatively gher than it, used to .be, dMnce it Is evident that India ili be ablp and tII be Induced to send us 4' e t number of bales when the avarag i of Surat is 6d. than when It was 8. d* 4. per p'ound.
