Quotations for spot cotton are based on Amer¬ 
ica* standard of classification, and on cotton In store 
run nine in quality not more than half a grade 
soon be disclosed; tens of thousands of men 
women and children, necessarily idle, are on the 
brink ol’ starvation; capital, as usual, is greedily 
taking advantage of the public agony and re¬ 
ducing wages to starvation rates; because thou¬ 
sands of famine-pinched wretches are expected 
to be forced by hunger to work for even a pit¬ 
tance ; a strike Of 100,000 colliers Is Imminent on 
account of ft threatened reduction of their pres¬ 
ent small wages. Public and private charities 
of all kinds are taxed to the utmost, and were 
times a little better on this side of the Atlantic, 
there would bo a rush of Immigration to this 
country unexampled since that during the Irish 
famine of ’4S- 
The political prosecutions in Germany are 
fast becoming persecutions, and there Is great 
danger according to some, great hope, according 
to others, that there will be avery large Influx of 
Teutonic revolutionists to this country. Already 
the tide of Immigration from the Fatherland has 
set In at this port and so soon as the weather 
grows milder, many expect It to come with a 
rusU like that of the ocean up the Bay of Fundy.
