"The Lancashire Boom."
The f< Mowing is from ihe News and
Cour'er, at 1 to ho read in connection
wit it and explanation of the article in
another column of Tin: Tjmks, about
the uonv cotton mills in Knglund.
Head carefully and see if you are not
encouraged about the price of cotton
and there being no danger of over
production of our staple:
There is much food f^r reflection
for the cotton planters of the South
in the article of the Manufacturers'
Record, extracts from which were
printed in The News and Courier
yesterday morning. The statement
that 1,77">,000 spindles have been put
in place in Lancashire alone within
the last twelve months should give
heart to those persons who have contended
that the demands for our raw
material cannot possibly keep in sight
of the increased production indicated
by the crop of I tst year. It is significant,
too. that not only has the
number of spindles been multiplied
in this truly startling way. hut we
are tol l that there appears to be an
abundance of Imsinesj in
keep them all humming for months
to come. "Supply cannot, in fact,
overtake demand," wrote the correspondent
of the Manufacturers' Record,
"notwithstanding the high pressure
at which the mills are working.
I hear of mills a year. months nr d
even two years ahead in orders The
'boom,' therefore, is nc t of the type
which, ( xplodii g hladder-like, speedily
reaches its limits and bursts."
These facts are suggestive of an
ex pi an lit o i of why cotton hps continued
to bring over 1<? cents the
pound, despite the fact that the crop
n f 1 O U f ? troo hA - 11
v. jx,?4? ifuo me iai^r.^1 lutr wurni
has ever known. It in possible, too,
that the farmers who are holding
their staple for still higher prices
may find in them n logical basis for
the hope that is in them With such
a boom in the cotton manufacturing
business in Lancashire as that described
it is not unreasonable to expect
that the building of cotton mills
there will be continued for some time
to come. If there is foundation for
the hopes entertained concerning the
developments of trade in the Orient,
construction during the next two
years may outstrip the remarkablo
record it has made in the last twelvemonth.
And if thoso tilings are true in
Lancashire they may be given a wider

straightforward dealing is of the first
importance. It is a carious fact that
whilst the official Japanese seems to
bo the soul of honor, the commercial
Japanese is not credited with being
scrupulous overmuch ; in China, indeed,
he has the opposite reputation.
This is no doubt a result of the traditional
social prejudice against trade
in Japan, which, until quite recently,
made it Impossible for the better
class of the people to engage in commerce
without losing cast."
Last Hope Vanished.

' lie no reuson why we should not exj

to ih> 8-? which are now turning in the i

would be provided for the raw ma,
terihl would keep step closely,enough

Baltimore, October 12?Special:
I Special correspondence in this wei ks
, Manufacturer's Record, from Manchester,
England, notes that durirg
the year 5f? new cotton mills have
been built in Lancashire, rcpresent.
ing spindles, or nearly onehalf
the whole epir.dle equipment of
i the South, tlint mills idle for many
%
years havo been re-rquipped, that
others have been remodelled, and
, thut other mills still in course of con
. btruction will soon come into operation
The correspondent says:
j "Supply cannot, in fact, overtake
d innnd, notwithstanding the high
pressure at which the mills are working.
I hear of mill a yenr.^ls months
and even two years ahead in orders
The "boom." therefore, is not of lite
type, which expanding bladder-like,
speedily reaches its limit and bursts.
The < nd of the war, besides reopeni
g muikets which wore practically
closed, will give a long impetus to
r< pair waste, us well us to build up
depleted i<>reign stocks
"Now that peace lias been dej
clared, there is u general expectation
j that Japan will emphasize her proj
irressive tendencies by making prompt
headway us a commercial and
miritime nation. Korea she will
i certuiuly take in hand, and it is
j thought that China also will receive
: very special attention. Thrre are
some Wes-tir.i observers who loo?k
j forward lo the economic developingnt
, with a certain anxiety, fearing that
tlie increasirg activity of Japun in
jtlie markets of the far East may
pre judicially ntTect the trade of CJreut
Britain, the United States and other
1 countries. The suggestion appears
to be that .Japan will not only make
serious inroads into our trade with
j neutral markets, but will supply hers-?lf
with those things which she has
! hitherto imported, and want nothing
i from us.
' Of course, such fears are quite
illusory. We may rest assured the
more Japan develops her export trade
ai.d her sea carrying trude ; the more
j must she import in order to recoup
herself That which she does not
import from us she will import from
our actual or potential customers,
thereby promoting the exchange of
commodities throughout the world,
:
from which the profits of trade are derived.
No country has traveled so far !
aloi g that roud of economic development
upon which Japan is,now setting
us bus England, and the er.d of
it is tJint England to-day buys far
more from the rest of the world than
ever before, and not merely of raw
materials but also of manufactures.
Even those markets which England
h is opened up for herself have become
markets for other countries also.
In proof of all which our own
\ rmtxiiiuusis nave itmassed abundant 1
j statistics If, then, England's industrial
and commercial development ,
has benefitted the world and enriched
the traders of other nations, whv
1 should the development of Japun do
1 otherwise?
"If Japan should succeed in proj
ducing an economic renaissainco in
China similar to that which she her;
self has already experienced, she will
perform an inestimable service to all
, the trading and industrial people of
the Western world. The Western
i nations have not been very successful
j in stimulating the hundreds of mil'
lions of Chinamen to desire tnings
j which they cannot produce themselves,
and until such a demand is
created, and tlie people of China are
educated to want what they havo
