annual reviele shows that tho the aggregate age regate of cotton during the last year has been bales against 2 in the previous year an increase of per cent tho the weight of bales was scarcely ono one pound in COO less than the year before so remarkable a gain in production is rarely seen in any year but in the following table is shown the consumption in bales of pounds each during the last year the year before and ten years before in great britain on the continent of europe and in lit the united states great united britain continent states IS 32 3 1801 29 1833 CO ou this year great britain has lost 30 per cent in consumption of cotton and there has been a trifling decrease on tha ilia continent against 11 0 per cent increase in this country in ten years the consumption in ill great britain I 1 has increased per cent on the continent per cent and in the united states per cent ten years ago british consumption was about 70 per cent greater than that of this country and consumption on the tile continent about 40 per cent greater now british consumption Is j only 21 24 2 1 per cent greater and consumption on the continent only 37 per cent at the same rate of progress tho the l states will consume more cotton in manufacture than great britain before the tile end of another decade even if british gains should continue such as they have been for ten years past consumption in the wool manufacture cannot bo be so accurately compared since the production of wool for this year has not yet been officially stated but the actual sales of wool at the three chief markets boston philadelphia and new york since sinco may 10 have been ca 1 pounds against for the same part of last year a gain of 47 per cent no doubt the manufacturers have laid in stocks to some extent ahead of orders but it is evident enouf enough 11 that the r production has increased marvelously of ono one other great industry the record of actual shipments of boots and shoes from the east cast gives a
