STORY OF THE COTTON TRADE,
HOW IT DEVELOPED IN LANCASHIRE.
At a meeting of the British Association of Managers of Textile Works held recently at the Victoria Hotel, Manchester, Mr. Richard Steel, of Liverpool, gave a lecture on "The Cotton Market." Mr. W. Bleakley, the president of the Association, presided We are indebted to the Manchester Guardian for the following report:

So far as regarded, consumption the problem was simple, Nothing was so cheap or useful ca cutton for human clothing, and therefore, as the world developed and became more populous and trade penetrated int countries that hol not yet dorsloped their resources, more cotton would be consumed. The cause of the present dépression did not lie with the consumer. The man who sed cotton would go along asing it; but it lag in the stocks in the hands of merchants and retail dealers, which were numerous. Almost
half the growth was in the shelves and ware- housse of merchants and retail dealers, and the question depended upon the policy of these men in reducing and amplifying their stocks,

The Jubilee of- Yokohama was celebrated on Friday and Saturday with great splendour and enthusicam. The following Ode was composed for the occasion by Surgeon General Mori (Rintare), Director of the Army-Surgeon Barean, at the request of the Yokohama Manicipal Council; and was rendered into English verse by Mr. Brace-Mitford. The Ode was taught in the class rooms of the preliminary and other schools in Yokohama and was sung at the celebration:- "An Inland-Realm in fair Japan,

In Brazil again, cotton enltivation had not extended because of the growth of sugar and coffee. Instead, therefore, of cotton cultivation ex- tending as we could wish in these localities, auger had been too strong for it. Argentina, again, could grow useful cotton, but cotton could not compete with what Even in the United States, Lousiana still grew a good deal of sugar, and if there was any great disaster to the cotton crop it was quite likely it would go bank ta Engar again.
