During the past two or ihre .HUffltnff our alert consuls in Great -3ritain have been sending home ac .csvnts ot various pessimistic reports, . speeches and editorials, the general -trend of which-has been that Great Britain is in a fair wyy to lose her -aaighty trade in cotton goods. Not -unnaturally, these reports have gain? -cd considerable authority from ha> - ' -4cg been published with a sort of qua? si government sanction through the 'bulletins of the department of com coerce and labor, and an impressiou ; -seems to have gained ground in many I ?isarters that the British cotton man* I .afaeturing industries are really in a ted way. So far is this from being the case that the past season is justly 'regarded by all who are at all famil? iar with real conditions as one of the ^nost satisfactory in the recent his -*ary of the British cotton industry. The misleading reports arose from -tte efforts of Mr. Chamberlain and his followers to convince the British elec? torate that foreign .tariffs are gradual- j ly destroying the outlet for English j cottons. In the report of the tariff commission instituted by Mr. Cham "berlam which was published July 10 and which was naturally widely dis? cussed by the British newspapers, it -was asserted that the British cotton industry 'is suffering in every direc? tion? from foreign tariffs, and from tte competition which they stimulate, and that profits are steadily diminish? ing in it, while employment is becom- I lng more uncertain." According to the London Times this report showed that Mr. Chamber Jain was right in his warning "cotton is going." As a matter of fact the re? port, while it undoubtedly presented many facts regarding the development of cotton manufacturture abroad, and af foreign competition in this line ia neutral markets that may have seem? ed disconcering to those who liad not TH>ted them before, failed entirely to Indicate that British manufactures are losing business except in a limited number of markets, or that their po? sition was in any vital respect un? sound. Fifty years ago Great Britain en? joyed an almost complete -monopoly of the manufacture of cotton goods tor all the world. It was not to be ex? pected that other nations would rest content to permit such a state of things longer than was necessary, and Jhe more progressive have, one after another, found means of establishing their own cotton manufactories and have come to supply, first their own local markets, and then to a limited extent the markets adjacent to them or in which their products for any reason have proved specially popular. One of Mr. Chamberlain's support? ers complains that "Fifteen years ago ?reat Britain consumed 2,000,000 Irandred weight more cotton annually than did the continent, whereas ' it consumes 8,000,000 hundredweight less. Fifteen years ago it consumed $.600,000 hundredweight more than did the United States; today it con somes 3,000,000 hundredweight less." This is true, but it states a chango that was in a sense inevitable and that in no way implies any discredit to the energy and ability of the British man -afacturers. On the contrary, with asnazing skill and entire success, they teve steadily increased their produc? tion, and as fast as one outlet was closed to them they have opened or enlarged others, with the result that in practically every one of the so-call- | ed "neutral" markets British cottons j ?are virtually supreme, being uniform- ! Ty so far in the lead as to render tho, position of competing nations a mat? ter for humiliation rather than boast- ? lng. Exports of British cotton yarns and i twists for the calendar year 190! amounting to 16.S94.500 pounds, Valued at $43,525,674. Compare this with our own exports of yarns for the same period, which were valued at $233,671, and a better idea can be ob' tained as to just how decadent the British industry is. In quantity the British yarn exports for 1904 fell be? low those for 1902, but in value they considerably exceeded the totals for the former year owing to advanced prices. The number of spindles running in Great Britain last year was 4$.400, 000, against 47,500,000 the preceding year, while 3,500,000 additional are projected or in course of construction. In point of fact the great danger to British prosperity in the cotton trades is not so much foreign competition, however much bolstered and support? ed it may be by hostile traiffs, as un? scrupulous speculation in the raw ma? terials by reckless but pecuniarily powerful gamblers, and short supplies The fact that her foreign markets are so vast and so widely distributed, and her hold in each so firmly entrenched, renders Great Britain's position as rt - gards competition exceptionally strong, if not. for the present ai least wholly impregnable.
