GREAT DEMAND -FOR COTTON. 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

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)

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

%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

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-..
