This very smirked fall in valnos has sccurred in thus short apace of two months, sufficient evidence in itself of the grave impórtanna attached by the Bombay public to the possible prolongation of a Franco-Chinese war. Indeed, if the war should Hager, Ax judging by the slow propress hitherto made it will, the heavy decline we have noted will be still further developed. What, we would ask, can Bombay do with her yarn if the China markets be closed to-her? Doubtles, a vigordas attempt will bu mado e dispose of it by endea vanting to increase the Indian Coast trade, and some small quantity will probably find its way up to Bangal, and be sold in the Calcutta and Dacca markets. But these outlets can only give relied for a very short time, and can never ba sxpected to take of the fall production.
