SURVEY OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY

This survey is offered 'as a compar-' inp: the current y^r varies^ from “a

these intermittent pindles were beinjr

average annual domestic market for
woven cotton goods* was 7,554,060,600,
square yards. In each of three years,
1923, 1927 and 1929 it exceeded eight
billion fquare yards. During this en
tire period only one year fell below
7% ^billion square yardk", which is
slightly under the ten year average
of 7,29.3,164,000 square yards. Tn per
centage , .relationship, ,1930 consump
tion was 84.7 per cent of this average
and 1931 reached 86.64 per cent.
The number of our customers nat
urally increases with the^jite in popu
lation. Excej)ting radical changes in
custom, which have not been of Spec
ial significance during this period,
gain in consumption depends on pur
chasing power as well as on the num
ber of consumer.®. Since 1929, disturb
ed economic conditions have brought
about a severe contraction in general
income which has been reflected in a
reduction of the per capita consump
tion of woven cotton cloth from an
average of 6511 yards in 1922-1929 to
less than 51 yards for each of the
years 1930 and 1931. The ten year av
erage is 62.19 square yards.
Surely the textile wants of 125 mil
lion peoj)le are greater than those of
110 million were ten years ago. Any
rea.sonahle economic improvement
should bring our per capita consump
tion up to the ten-year average. This
would mean an annual domestic mar
ket of 7,773,750,000 square yards and,
with average export.s added, about
8,181,903.000 square yards. The mak
ing of such a yardage would require
95,61;3,653,(t00 i-pindle hours or 3,015
hours per year for each of the 31,737,-
171 spindles n<»w in place.
