ZANZIBAR. 



REPORT BY CONSUL PRATT, OF ZANZIBAR. 

 Cotton textiles imported. 



In former times America supplied this market with cotton goods. 

 But within the past twelve years, the products of the Bombay mills, 

 while in no sense being an imitation, have by their remarkable cheap- 

 ness taken possession of the markets.
