Vr The High Commissioner confirms the news of the downward tendency of butter. The rapid advance;in prices has had the effect of •checking consumption, or rather diverting consumption'to butter substitutes, which are being ' pushed for sale..

The position- imi'st rather . be studied from the standpointof' probable • supplies for the day or the' Week.-: Supplies .V for the week ending February: 15were fairly , large, and it is obvious that in the following week there was no shortage, for values began to recede. Buyers of butter are holding back expecting prices.to go. lower, while tho holders of butter think otherwise:, It depends now on € whether supplies are ample or otherwise to affect prices. The shortage - of: tho -ipast" has nothing to do with the. situation.■ ; ;'-The hemp market, instead of improving, is 'tending- downwards. The spot, quotation-of .

AMERICAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY. During 1907 there was a further considerable addition: to. thertextile mills of tho United States, nearly 260 being put up as compared with 300 in' 1906. The growth was mainly ill silk factories, cotton, woollen and knitting mills : showing less rapid expansion. ' This, however,-. was not due to any- slackening of prosperity in the industry, but to the shortage of, skilled help required. There was not only difficulty- 'experienced in getting ■ sufficient hands to factories coming : into \work, but also in. getting the requisite labour to erect the mill plant. The.number of spindles added to the cotton millsTwas 418,000, as against 493,000 in • 1906. "-Thi'-average annual addition, during tho.last seven years has .been 414,000. The tendency of various branches of the trade to concentrate- in 'certain localities was'once more illustrated by ' experience, of ■ the past year. The Southern and New England States took all but.lo,ooo of the 418,000 cotton spindles, the New "Erigland'-and, Middle States captured 21 out of 25 new-woollen mills,-,tho Middle States secured 49 out of 83 now knitting mills, and Now-Jersey, Pennsylvania, 'and New York account for 47 out of 51 new silk mills.
NOTES, AND COMMENTS. The Indian gold production shows a tendency to': diminish. The yield last year totalled 549,235-ounces, as compared with 577,260 ounces in 1006, and 628,415 ounces in 1905. : The 'nitrate'industry of Chili uses something like •'twenty, r :million jute ■ sacks every year.
