is that of the cotton man¬

engaged in agriculture; for, as the premium on gold advan¬

have just seen, while at the same time the protection afforded
by tariff duties is increased. But the export trade in manu
factured cottons having been annihilated by the depreciated
currency of the country, the manufacturer cannot gain in the
price of bis commodities from the rise of the gold premium as
the planter docs upon his cotton.
Furthermore, if his goods
are of such a character that the protection, when the premium
on gold is 50 per cent, is sufficient to prevent foreign com¬

advantage to him, but, on the contrary, he will suffer by

drought has at length broken up, and the whole country has
a genial rain.
It i9 remarkable that after so long
a period of
dry weather, the fall of rain should have been so gentle,
and that no violent thunderstorms shculd have taken
place. There
have, indeed, been two or three severe storms in certain districts, but
over the
greater part of the country there ha9 been no severity. The
rain that has fallen has thoroughly saturated the parched
earth, and the
pastures nlready begin to have a greener appearance. The change
which has taken place has necessarily relieved many a thoughtful mind.
Although our harvest has been a good one, and ha9 been secured in
excellent condition, yet the prospect in regard to a supply of roots for
cattle for winter feed, and also of vegetables for human consumption,
was
very unsatisfactory.
The loss of the one was naturally calculated
to make meat dear, while the diminished production of the latter was

crops on the extensive chalk and chalk marls, the London, Oxforj
augmented consumption of bread, and to trench heavy
and Weald clays, the loams of Kent, the alluvial deposits which skirt
therefore upon our not over abundant supplies cf cereal produce. The the coasts of the eastern counties, the red sandstone clays of Devon
timely rains have therefore inspired many with better hopes respecting Worcestershire, and Warwickshire, and on the carboniferous limeatoms.
Taking the wheat yield in England at the high—I may
the future, and although some time must elapse before the effects of the
say unprecedented—average of 34 bushels per acre, and esti¬
rain can be substantially felt, it is believed that the deficiency of the
mating the area under wheat to be 100,000 acres over last or ordinary
articles of consumption enumerated above will not be so serious as was
years, aud allowing one bushel per acre for the extra weight of grain of
two pound per bushel, the wheat yield of 1868 will exceed that of 1867
at one time anticipated.
Trade remains extremely quiet, and as yet there appear to be no by 4,671,285 quarters, and that of ordinary years by 2,472,974 quarters.”
Advices from France state that in the northwest district the wheat
symptoms of substantial improvement. In some departments, however,
there has been a better tone, while in others a retrograde movement crop is good and above the average ; in the west a good ordinary; in
has been apparent.
In cotton and cotton goods an improved feeling the northeast a good average ; in the southeast various but in some dis¬

an

lb., while so far as goods are concerned, there
is less disposition ou the part of producers to make sales, consequently
the tendency of prices i? against the buyer.
On the other hand, the
wool trade i? in a less satisfactory position ; indeed, owing to the great
abundance of colonial qualities, and the marked abatement in the
French demand, the trade is decidedly heavy, and prices are much lower.
Ths third series of public sales of Australian and Cape produce were
commenced here on Thursday. The arrivals since last sales have been
very large, namely, almost 226,0C0 bales.
Of that supply, 58,000 bales
are from Sydney, 81,000 bales from the Cape, 51,000 New Zealand,
64,000 Port Philip, 12,* 00 from South Australia and S,800 bales from
Tasmauia. The quantity of wool being so large, and foreign buyers
not having as yet shown much disposition to operate freely, the trade
which now consists chiefly of home buyers, are, to some extent, masters
of the situation, and consequently obtain their supplies almost on their
own terms.
The consequence has been that good and fine wools have
declined in value to the extent of Id., and faulty wools to the extent
of l£d. to 2d. per lb., as compared with last sales.
The result of this
change is that the whole of the advance established in the first six
months of the year has been fully lost.
There has been an improved demand for wheat this week, and as
the supplies of new produce have been small, a rise of 2s. to 3s. per
quarter has been established in prices. A1 tin.ugh our crcp of wheat is
a good one, and much above the average, it must te borne in mind that
there is scarcely any old produce in the country, and consequently our
enormous consumption must be met by the new supplies.
It is vtry
probable that owing to the recent drought and to the consequent scar¬
city of vegetables, the consumption of bread will be above the average
during the winter months. In order, therefore, to keep wheat at its
present moderate level, we shall require a large importation of foreign
produce during the present year. It may, indeed, be maintained that
the improvement which has taken place in the value of wheat this week
will have a beneficial effect, inasmuch as the firmer tone of cur market
will tend to attract foreign wheat to cur ports in larger quantities before
the winter sets in. From September 1 to the close of last week our
imports of wheat into the United Kingdom were 7.923,809 cwt. greater
than in the corresponding period 1866-7.
Of flour the receipts show a
decrease of 451,401 cw7t. The exports of wheat show an increase of
276,836. and of flour, 3,556 cwt. The following are the leading par¬
ticulars of our imports and exports of wheat into and from the United
Kingdom from September 1 to August 8 :

might have been expected, the obstinacy of the Atlantic Tele¬
graph Company in charging such high rates for the transmission of mes¬
sages to New York has led to a rival company, which, if successful, will
compel the present joint undertaking to further reduce its tariff. The
blame of retaining so high a tariff must rest, however, ou the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, and not on the Anglo-American; for while the
latter were u ing all their exertions to bring the minimum charge down
to about £5 os., the latter were employing all their influence in keeping

Sir Curtis Sampson met with many

supporters, and several prophesied a sad end to so noble an under¬
taking, so far as the shareholders interest were concerned. No divi¬
dend, they s id, could be paid with a five guinea tariff, and therefore the
money they bad invested in the concern would prove unremunerative.
However, after much discussion, the Atlantic Telegraph Company, with
fear and trembling, no doubt, consented to give the new tariff a three
months’ trial.
But only one day’s trial seemed necessary, for the num¬
ber of messages received on the first day was so large that the success
of the amended tariff was indisputable.
The Atlantic Board of Direct¬
ors doubtless theu perceived that they bed for many months been under
the clou! ; but the instantaneous success of the changed tariff eased
their minds, while they were probably not displeased that they had

proved false prophets. Under the external pressure of anew company,
which proposes to send messages to New York for £2, a reduction to
£3 7s. 6d. will come iuto operation on the 1st of September, and if the
new company should prove to be successful, a further reduction maybe

they have in their present stock a supply of but
eight weeks. Our receipts show but little increase as yet,

By special telegrams received by us to-night from each of
the Southern ports we are in
possession of the returns show¬
ing the receipts, exports, &c., of cotton for the week ending
this evening, Aug. 28. From the
figures thus obtained it
appears that the total receipts for the last seven days have
reached 1,699 bales
(against 937 bales last week, 1.038
bales the previous
week, and CGG bales three weeks since,)
making the aggregate receipts since September 1, 1867}
up to this date, including the returns by telegraph to¬
night, 2,192,069 bales, against 1,902,431 bales for the same
period in 1866 7, being an excess this season over last the
week foot up 10,341 bales, of which 6,560 bales were taken

289,638 bales. The details of these receipts for this
week, (as per telegraph) and the corresponding week of 1867 by spinners, 1,997 babs for export, and 1,784 bales on spec¬

The market is quite unsettled, and in Prints especially, the
decline has been of a marked character. There is, however,
disposition among jobbers to make a stand at present prices,

who have undertaken the

building of this road—or at
for that purpose
—are not only
iu earnest and able to pay, but are able to get the
be t. banks in the United St .tes to assure to pay for them.
My opinion is that they each gave their cheeks to the banks for
t* e money, or deposited United States bonds as collateral security,
in which the banks agree to become liable, and advance the money
for them as rapidly as it is wanted in building the road.
Your people will get the railroad as soon as it can be built. The
o ey secured will build out beyond Lebanon, and then everybody
knows there is no trouble beyond there.”
