(lrest BIritain having reached during the last month 6K.ac. bales weekly, and t.he Uontinent 4H.e)O bales, of 40) poDnds eacbh. Tllurning to the annual circular we find that the continent on sumed last vear 1,R2.112.t10 pounds., or an ave rage of 52,.300 bales, of 4)4o pounds each per week. as we gave It by cable two weeks since. At present the rate appears to be only 41.000 hales: blt as the foregoing comuarison shows that for the eorrespondllga period last year it was only 43.40M hIales, while the whole year ave raged over 52,3e0 bales, and it is a further rfot (also referred to by Mr. Ellison In his clrcular) that, the Jontilnental consumu lion in winter Is always smaller than In sum munr. there seems to be no warrant at present for estimating the year's average below last year's. (Consmeuelttly, for the wheole of Europe an average o0 less than 11.0(1n bales of 40o poulnds einh cannot Ie expecteld,unless there shouldl be a Europeah war or something else to ohook the renewed demand for goods. In fact. so wonderful has been the growth in eonsumo tlon which these figures Indicate to be in pro roses. under olrcumstanaes very many of whloh have boen peoullarly unfavorable, that it seems unwise to put even that limit on the posslbilltles of the future. In the hirnt tour months of 11771-37 there was uitlto a feeling of exhilaration in manufaotu ring clreles., In part duet to a rise in selver and a conseequent impDovelment. in the Eastern .x changes. but mainly growing out of na )llof that. war betweeun lussia and Turkey (fears of which had welghed on the market through the provi one summor) would be averted. This, too, was in the midst of the period of grnatest oonsump lion over reached, and proved to be for the time the culnllllinating point. During 1477 onth succeeding month more forcIbly polnted towards the nocnessity for non Itractlo In to spinni and iu tho last a nartor the downward courns of the cotton goods inlhdustry was even more manifest than earlier In tile yoar. War was dellarCid lu April by Rleisla against Turkey. IBut that wan only i circumn strltnce' whllth helped to develop the growing ltie trust In tile ondit)on of the tlrledol--a feeling whulih. ns we have said. increaeed as the year adlvanonid, and was mtost nmarked as it cl00o)d. The whole of 157H was a succession of dis appointetnt.s---a year over memortaile for its work in uncloaktin the arttlllnal nature of the demand, which head o long been kept up aftler the steculation and extravagatnlee that. gave rlls to it was Ino longer posslble. On the secolntl of October the failure of the (Glasgow Bank was annoulnced, and Immnodlately tile makeshifts which had served to bolster up an unsound trade were fully disclosed. Consequently, the last three months of the yoear and the tlrst month of 11S47 covered the period of greatest distress and depression. FINANCIAL.
