He says that ‘the mercantile world

The Bishop has made a careful study
of tbe cotton situation, and he goes on
as follows: "Eight millions of bales
certainly do, and must have, a fixed
relation to tbe consumption and de
maud for cotton in the factories of
Great Brilian and of the Northern
States. Such relation should primari
ly determine its price iu the markets of
the world; but it does not. This was
clearly seen in the reduced figures at
