SV Other Countries Think Not and Many Wi1 Are Bending Their Energies To ward Raising Supply of Their Own. i Washiigton, March 21.--4in June, V 1005, there was held in laondon an Sn, exposition of cotton produced in the colonies of Great Britian, and other continental countries, together with A the pr-oductii tnqnufactured fromn such 8 cotton. All the leading manufactur- S ing nations of Hurope participated in 8 this exposition,, which attractWd gen- T eral attention. The movement for ,inereasing the cultivation o' cotton ii in the various colonies was greatly r encouiaged and gtimulated by the ex- t hibit made at London. Minlister Ilryanl, of Lisbon, has fur- an lished this government with a cop)y. of the ofilcial report of the Portu- " guese representative at the London 9 conference together with the oilcial 'Iic report of tihe second inteinational zer, cotton congress held last.lune at Man- ! che,-ter a nd Liverpool. -cn Ii the last thirteen years Portugal has expended annually f9r raw cot- tAt ton an average ot about $3,0,0000 at tle' present rate of exchange, and is now consuming about 75,000 bales I"'. per annum. The annual ave,0ra ero.1CO in this country from 1898 to 1905 lish was 10. 250. 00 )RIes, which, it is tra declarefl. is not sItlicient for the re needs of the trade, and ntiless the Q('' United States can keel) up the sup- tee ply wit'h crops as large or larger than I that of 1904-05 which iW p laced at.

As to Ametica's ability to produce. day in additofi to 1t- own inereasin needs Lor kuiuio raxnufactUre, enolm"Ph T to supply the constantly growing foir. noo. oign dem6nd,'it i" pointed out that 2 , T 2 the area suitable for cotton coltur 2 in the United Statcs is about 150,000.- co 000 acres, about one-third of which Chi is considered good, and of this onn 3 third, 32,000,000 adfes are not underr Wo) aultivation. It is showu that in thir- 'lay Ly years it is likely that the United ren States will not raise more than 4 anough for her own needs. In other 5 words, American manufacturers will by take the product of all cotton grown Phi in the United States at that time. No. Elven in five years it is calculated that F L8.000,000 hales annually will be nec- in 31ssa.ry for the world's. consumption: 7 %rnd as the annual production is 16,- 8 )00,000 bales, at present, there must )av )e 2,000,000 bales more produced an- Rep anally, and this is made the basis for the argument for cotton culture elsewhere C. than in the United States. Not tak- 9 ing into consideration the laud in the Tor United States capable of, but as yet II. iot devoted to.cotton raising, inquiry F is made as to. the . ot er aoshtries: 94 where .cotton may'be grown. -The ex-- the positions at Liverpool and Manche.s- 9 ter Were intended to show the efforts ds in these several fields to obtain a sup- Vai ply o,f cot ton which. in the. futurie #j11 beg equal 'the demand.

At these expositions it was shown Siun that the United States had in the Illi twenty years from 1879 to 1899, in- .It Lreased 1her production from 2,404,- 1t 300,000 pounds to 5,795,000,000 Si poutnds, and at the same time site in- 2 areased her consumption from 770," narn )00,000 pounds to 1,854,000,000 3 pounds. The consumption of Great 1ay B~ritain from 1809 to 1005 increased M. from 1,626,000,000 pounds to 2,697,- rUni )00,000 pounds, and during the same 4 period America's consumption in- men reased from 1,854,000,000 pounds to 3,333,000,000 pounds, so that' the in-.. arease in consumption during the lasv 'err six years was the ssame in both coun-' T Lries, namely, 177,000,000 pounds.
