These are so ar anged as to present a brief historical it ketch of cotton production and con- r umIptior in the United States during it he past century. The tables show that iN rices of cotton have not been so low S uring the past season as they were ' uring the decade from 1840 to 1850. e The object of the department has v eon to make this bulletin a valuable h 'ork of reference as to the produc- g Ion, consumption and iricos of cotton V nd other numerous facts relating to G otton, for all who are interested either o 11 cotton planting or in, the cotton a z'ade. C Jieferring to the conditions of the b :aarket and prices in the decade from 810 to 1850, the bulletin says: t " In 1840 the largest crop over made b p to that time, and the largest accu- it i.ulation of stocks ever witnessed in a Averpool, caused a decline to the low- d st averago for ten years. This was he beginning of the heavy accumula ion of stockw in Europe during the ext five , ears, which led to an 'sJtra rdinary lecline in prices." ,The highest prico per pound in New 0ok that decade was 13 7-8 cents, in 850, and the lowest 5 cents in 1842 and 8-. Shepperson quoted middi ing in hat yea' as low as 4 cents. .in .1842," continues the bulletin, middling to fair cotton reached as low .s 4 1-2 cents in New Orleans and there1r a on file in the Department of Agricul ure, a letter showing that a Mi'enro onnty, Alabama, lanter sold this a 'ca'r sevente-n baieu.' o c tton in Mobile V t 1-4 L'lat.

' ); .With respect to the lustrunm ende(d n .h 1895, it is shown that the highest n rice per pound in New York was 10 5-8 n ents in 1891, and the lowest 5 9- iri ents the present year.
