Looks For Big Yield. ?TX Some Facts About Cotton and ^ Condition of the Mills. The following intorviow with Arnold B. San ford, of Boston, a well known cotton manufacturer, of New England, and selling 7 agent for some mille, was published in the Charlotte Observer 1 yesterday: x "What do you assign as the cuuso of the general depression in the cotton industry?'1 he was f8 1 1 1D* nobo/i jiiiuro aro iwo main causes which have been instrumental in bringing this about,'' said Mr. ov Sanford. a * n 'First, wo hare been producing too many goods and yarns wt during the last twelvemonths. ^ri Secondly, values huvo been too 8CC high for free consumption. High ^ 1( prices h a v e checked buying When cotton wont beyond 13 rut cents tli6ro was a very distinct an< falling off in tho consumption of ert cotton goods and yarns and when 8ei it reached 17 conts tho t*-ado was 1#'1 demoralized and business became stagnant." *re "Has there boon too rapid increase in mill building?" "Yes, we have arrived atone of those periods of our industrial P01 progress?in cotton mills?when j?* in my opinion wo are producing more than we can consume to (Dg good advantage. Twelve years anr ago the Southern States had about lri< 3,000,000 spindles and today 0,- acr 000,000 ? a marvelous and very ^ rapid growth." ple "llavo mills in Now England jUi done much curtailing!" ne^ "Yes, a large number of spindies have been stopped during the last four months.1' "Doyen see any good reason for the reduction of wages?12? per cent.?by New England mills?" "Yes. Manufacturers feel that . ' igt j in order to secure trade the cost ^ of manufacturing must be reducme ed, not only in wages, but also in cotton and supplies, so as to give ^e< 11 4 cor consumers goods and yarns at figures that will be safe to do business on. There is no denying ^ the fact that buyers have been afraid to purchase fr*?lv on the ? ' / i high costs of raw materials and , 1..U/M. ~u:,u i ? a88 iuuui nuiuu iiuvo prevailed ior ( several months, and they are now waiting for these factors to settle joq to their proper level." , "When do you think improve- plc ment in the trade will 6tart in?" njy "Well, we are feeling there bee will bo a decided change for the be better this fall. Indications show < very plainly from buyers that they fuj are ready to do nusiness as soon as the status of this crop can be settled?a9 to what value?and we expect a good demand for goods and yarns to last for several y months, to start in about September 1st. and we are also oxpecting coj( to seo cotton selling at cents." "What did you learn about the toQ crop in yeur travels?" aef "I found tho concensus of opinion to bo towards a large < yield?some putting it as high as goj| 12,000,00C bales." we( 4'What de you think of the Southern development in cotton N manufacturing?" ? "This 1 will answer frankly by Ion saying that wonderful progress has boon made during the last ton 0011 ? , b cob yoars and I find many mills pro- e(j ducing high grade goods and yarns fu] that are equoal to mauy of our all host New England mills. They 'flare certainly dangerous competitors. Ton years ago no such goods wore raado in the South as are (;0| now being made by some of your an< progressive mill mon.
