This table shows that Russia and Prussia still continue to supply Great Brit- 

 ain with large amounts of wheat. Whilst there is a great fjilling off in the 

 amount received from Egypt, in consequence of that country directing its agii- 

 cultural industry chiefly to cotton production, yet France has largely increased 

 its exports of wheat and flour to Great Britain during these eight months of " 

 1864. But recent accounts of the harvest of that nation indicate that it will be 

 unable to maintain these exports in 1865. 



The following tables of English imports of cotton, wool, and flax, will be 

 highly interesting to all, for they exhibit the progress that is making by various 

 nations to supply the loss to the world of American cotton.
