Crappi, the French Minister of Commerce and Industry, who took the chair at the opening, delivered an address in which, with a warmth of language suited to the occasion, he gave a glowing picture of the usefulness of the International Cotton Federation which had organised the movement. According to him, the chief object of the federation was to group together the manufacturers disturbed on against speculation which disturbed normal operations, and in making ` illegitimate profte exercised 3 regular tyranny.on "chone who span and wore stten as well as on those who planted it." This is an attack on our old acquaintance the middle man, of whose approaching defeat and destruc tion we are from time to time confidently assared by eut usiastic persons, No one would suppose, from the remarks of M.

But to the scientific observer the efforts of these speculators were merely the market expression of the cardinal fact that there is not now enough cotton to go round in a year in which the American crop is not at least nu average ona per acre; and that, as years go on, there must be an increased acreage, sither or somewhere else, unless
