Raw Cotton: Total Purchases By Empire Spinners Much Larger Than In 1930 Jajpan was the best foreign custom er of America raw cotton in 1931, an(* purchased $1,740,711 bales valued at $'<fc>,u8/,Uu0, according to a report from Consul Howard Donovan, Kobe, made public by the Commerce Depart ment. This is an increase of 97 per cent in quanity and 21 per cent in va lue over 1930 figures. Shipments to Joipun in 1931 were the highest ever recorded. The beat f.revious year wat 1927. | Germany was in second position as a raw cotton buyer and purcnased 1,330,208 bales valued at $63,152,000. Exports from the United States to * Great Britian totaled 797,7.>3 bales and were valued at, $30, 516., 000. Japan retained the position of lead ership in the first two months of 1932, the report ii atc.l. In J-.%nuaiy and Feo ruary, 300,253 and 390,000 bales were sihipped to J'* pan from the United States. In the same months of 1931, 158,007 and 5W>,014 bales> were taken resipectively. The bulk of Japan's imports of raw cotton and its exports of picce goods move through the ports, of Kobe and Osaka. These two cities are so close ly allied and so interdependent in foreifft trade that they may be regard ed as a single industrial and commer cial diisitrict. Cotton spinning and weaving comprise the most important factory industry in Japan. The United SUites supplied 48 per cent of Jaipan's importation of raw Cotton in 1931 ami India supplied about 42 per cent. In bhe previous year, India sold more cotton to Japan | than did the United States Apple Queen ?9" .
