Cndf r Garments, orMMEB UNDER SHIRTS; also a largo stock of Eng. hlHaifUoee, sold cheap by EQ)m BYAN Jon J Tbe Fwtare Prices or Cotton. ; From the Times of India, June 11. It is very encourarine to see that "Bursts " era not scornfully discarded as soon as other cotton is within reach. This used to be tbe case in for mer years ; now, " fair Dhollera " and Berar cot ton not only keen their m-onnJ in tha Knclish . market, but a steady demand may be connted npon ior uiem, anu at a ugure mucn lugner in propor tion than -was obtained in former years as com pared with long stapled Egyptian and American. The. strenuous exertions that liavo been made in Western India, by collectors, cotton inspectors, and merchants themselves, in promoting the im- E roved preparation and honest packing of cotton, ave told well in raising the character of the Bom bay export. In Lancashire it is regarded as quite dinerent article compared with the dirty and mixed cotton that used to be sent from hence sev en or eig&t years ago. The gratifying result is that our staple export can never again be neglect ed in the English market. These considerations are, we think, quite sufficient to show that none of our better qualities of cotton are at all likely to fall again to the prices usually obtained before the war. It will, indeed, be needful to push to the utmost every kind of effort that has been made to improve the staple and condition of our cotton. Paradoxical as it may seem, it is true, that the high prices obtained have checked the improve ment of cotton. While so sure of a market, why should the class most to blame for adulteration those who buy direct of the cultivators trouble, themselves about fine distinctions in quality, or take excessive care as to the condition and honest packing of an article for which they can have cus tomers at will? Now, this listless disposition must belaid aside, and it is reasonable to expect far more care in these respects, seeing that prices will depend upon quality so much more than during the last few years. Counting, then, upon the qual ity of our cotton being improved year by year, mere is gooa reason to nope mat a remunerative price will be obtainee for it. We shall, indeed, bo reminded of the vastly increased production of cotton in other countries : but it must be remem- ed that the consumption has also increased, in spite of high prices, and with lower rates may be be expected to expand over fresh regions of the earth.' .' Early in 18C1 the total annual manufacture of cotton was estimated, by a very competent au thority, to be represented by the work of six mil lions of spindles three for Great Britain, one for Europe and two for America. The writer added : " To furnish this large increase of manufacturing power with the requisite supply of raw material would require an annual increase of 400,000 bales of cotton. ' That increase was needed, over and above the average exports of several previous rears, including, no doubt, one or more of the heaviest years of the slave grown American pro duction. No one will suppose that anything like that increase has yet accrued from all sources, al though the Indian crop of last year was so large ; and not only is our crop certain to be much small er this year than last, but the supplies from Chi na and Bengal, besides from many of the experi mental cotton grounds stimulated only by nigh prices -will be almost wholly withheld from the , English market Then wo must consider how hyyr r tbe mtoeka of oeMan cloths in all parts of the world, and that, too, in prospect of a steadily increasing demand. Five years ago Mr. Bazley, M. P., said that the production of cotton manu factures was increasing yearly at the rate of ten per cent, and the exports of cotton goods at two and a half per cent per annum. There is good reason to believe that this rate of consumption will in the present year be enormously increased, as America must be ready to purchase extensively as soon as the balance of trade will permit, and, the working classes of England being prosperous, there will be a largo home demand. In fact, the only check just now to the very rapid increase of English manufacturing industry, and especially in her consumption. of cotton, is the deficiency of laborers not the deficiency or clearness of tho raw material As it seems to us, it is the proba bility of the labor supply falling short, and the rate of wages rising, that threatens England ' manufacturing supremacy much more directly, than does the remote prospect of a falling off in the supply of coal Although we think there is no probability of cotton falling to the rate of prices before the war, until it is seen what free America can produce, we have always urced that the Indian cultivator must ultimately be prepared for competition with his old rivals in tne Southern states. As the prices of commodities always tend to accommodate them selves to the cost of production, so the cost of raising cotton under the new system in America will lor long determine the price which the Indian cultivator will be likely to obtain. The delusion that the negroes when freed will not work indus triously is one that is supported only by ignorance or prejudice. There have already been proofs afforded in America of their willingness to work, and their power to produce more than under slavery. If their late masters do not, like the planters in Jamaica, endeavor to thwart the prop er exercise of free labor, it is fairly to be expected that the American crop of 1867 will exceed the largest under fehivery. It does not follow, even then, that tne price oi Indian cotton must be de- Sressed to the rates ruling in 1856. The great ifference to be looked for as regards the negroes is this they will expect and must get a higher rate of remuneration. They will probably do more work than nnder slavery, and they will do it better, but they will require to have spent on them a far larger amount of capital than before. Had it been otherwise their masters would not have fought bo tenaciously in defence of the great in' stitution ; but the consumers of cotton will have to pay part of the additional cost which free la bor will cause to enter into the price of American cotton. , Indian cotton can be raised at a less cost to the producer than any other in the world ; the assess ment of the land is much below the real value of the BoiL-nd the labor in mere cotton production can generally be supplied wholly by the family of the ryot In 1856 cotton w as sold at Nagpore at lid. per pound, and over 400,000 bales were ex ported from Bombay.
