It is probable that Egyptian cotton formed a considerable portion of tbe in creased consumption in France.

Should these atstements rescue only one or two esti mable citixent and their families from the vortex which gapes to swallow them up, I shall be amply rewarded. Having given this brief sketch of the existing state of the cotton trade, this esssy would e incomplete, did I not de vote jt faw.lirtci to tbe consideration ol its future prospects. 1 he present extra ordinary 'pricea offer' such strong-ine'en- tivet to an increase of cultivation at must have a powerful operation. It la oot Im probable, therefore, that our next crop ill be 30,. 40, or 50 per cent, greater thab tbe' last and that the increase wil be equal elsewhereV From 'Fgfptrthe importation into Great Britain and trance ill probably be doubled.
