The New \ork Commercial and Financial Chronicle gives some in teresting figures respecting the manufacture of cotton goods for the year ending September 1. The total number of spindles in the country at that date was estimated to be 18,200,000. Of this number 12,100,000 were in the North and 1,100,000 in the South. In 1883 the number in tho North was 11,. 800,000, and in the South 800,000. In 1882 the number in the North was 11,820,000, and .'n the South 080,000. From these figures it ap pears that the increase during the last year was greater in the South than in the North. For the year 1883-84 the North ern and Southern mills took 1,889,- 103 bales. Of this amount North ern mills took 1,550,103 bales and the Southern mills 334,000 bales. The consumption of the Northern j mills was not quite e<|iint to their i takings. The following figures show tho consumption of the North ern and Southern mills for the past tour years: In 1880-81 Northern mills consumed 1,050,000 bales, and .Southern mills 205,000 bales. In 1881-82 Northern mills con sumed 1,728,200 bales and South ern mills 238,000 balca. In 1882-83 Northern mills consumed 1,730,000 hales and Southern mills 331,000 j auction for 9} cents, bales, and in 1883-84 Northern mills consumed 1,043,517 bales and Southern mills 334,000 bales, it will be noticed that the con sumption of Northern mills last year was less than it was the year before, while that of Southern mills was 3,000 bales greater.

A mebicus, September 17. j Editor Recorder—I sm satisfied i that it is the careless, indolent ten. j Snt CD the share system that is the Cause of the steady poverty that harasses the fanning interest of our country, and the purpose of this notice is to ask you to open your columns to tho voice of the farmers to test the truth of the as sertion. If proven to be true, try to abandon the system and iiirc only for wages and rent to no one who has no stock to plow. Vouis respectfully, John. Our columns have always been open to the discussion of the topics of the day, and nothing would af ford us more pleasure than for our farmers to use the columns of the Recorher for the discussion of subjects which inteicst the farmer and all other classes. Wo think much good would result free the discussion of the subject submitted by John, for it is time that our far- mera found out flic cause whv. iu a land and climate that is bountiful in Its yields, our farmers cannot make more than both ends inee 1 .

Altlioiigh there Ims been a steady increase in the number of spindles, North and South, for a number of years, there has been a gradual decrease iu the amount of our exports of cotton manufac tures. In 1881 the value of theso exports was 813,571,287; in 1882, $13,212,979; in 1882, $12,951,145, and in 1884. *11,855,211. The year, of course, in vaoh case is un derstood as ending June 30. In striking contrast to our own exports of cotton manufactures arc those of India. They have steadi ly increased from $3,560,000 in 1870 to $14,500,000 in 1884. Iu commenting on the growth of In dia’s exports tho Chronicle says: ’’While our foreign shipments of cotton goods wero $4,500,000 more than India’s in 1870, now they are nearly $2,500,000 less. We will add that India enjoys llie advan tages of free trade, and is able therefore to coinpcto with (treat Britain in the markets of the world. Tho United States prefers a different policy aud takes tho consoqnenccs. And this, too, notwithstanding we grow cotton of the best quality, have as per fectly appointed factories as there are In the world, use more intelli gent labor, and therefore by the yard pay no higher wages, and and the middle crop is only mod- j erately good.
