THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



HPllE question of placing cotton on the contraband list is being 

 *■ \ igorously agitated by the British press. The British gov- 

 ernment is urged to declare cotton absolute contraband and to 

 purchase Southern cotton exchanges to the amount of cotton that 

 would normally have gone to Germany and Austria-Hungary, and 

 also to the amount of cotton exports to Holland, Denmark. Nor- 

 way, Sweden and Switzerland. The State Department at Wash- 

 ington, however, intimates that American rights in the matter 

 will lie insisted upon under the principles of international law. 

 SEA ISLAND COTTON. 

 The month of July has been extremely quiet ; though the un- 

 certainty occasioned by the rumors of contraband cotton has had 

 a disquieting effect on the market. Shipments from Savannah 

 from June 5 to July 3 were 176 Bs. to Northern mills and 273 Bs.
