The present rate of consumption i >f American cotton by the mills of he world is slightly in excess of one ( million hales of raw cotton per j month. It is estimated, as a result of careful investigation, that if the spinners can secure the cotton mul no International troublee interfere with the present enormous demand for cotton goods, fully twelve million five hundred thousand hales of American cotton would ha consumed between September 1st, lbO">, and September 1st, HK)G. This unprecedented consumption of American cotton is due principally to two causes: namely: ? The increasing demand for cotton goods by the .jobbing and retail trade of the civilized nations of the world, and the abnormal increase of new spindles within the past six i months in Kngland, Japan and I A moi?win Ski iwxt Iiilv f luitt .1 I 1 I \ 1 IV ? V ?J1IIV/V n lllj IIIWI v. VIHUI four trillion new spindles have been ' added to the milling industry of j Manchester, England. The Fall River Mills which were shnt down for sixteen weeks last year on account of strikes -re now running night and day. These vital forces will necessarily demand at least one million hides of cotton for consumption in 1000, which were not r? quired in 190*3. In the South new mills are being built and the equipment of old mills doubled in capacity wherever labor can he secured. Consumption is only limited now to the spindle capacity of the world operating on full time. Mr. Ellison, the English statistician, estimates consumption for the next twelve months under 12,000.000 hales of American cotton. But Mr. Ellison represents the foreign spinners solely, and it is a habit with him to under estimate at the heginning of each year and later on be forced to increase his figures in the face of hare facts. The price of cotton goods is very high and advancing in most lines monthly. In some eases prices are higher than they have been in twenty-five years. In the spring of 1001 when cotton advanced to 17 cents per pound and every available hale of cotton for sale at that time was eagerlv he sold that season. After consumption of the 14,000.000 hale crop of 1004, we find the mills of the world today with no goods on hand for sal**, but from six to right months In-hind with their orders, and the jobbing trade in equally a bad condition. With the trade now it is not a question of price, but the serious problem is the delivery of orders by the mills. The shelves of the world are largely bare of cotton goods and in many lines absolute exhaustion has taken place. This crop will not exceed t**n million commercial bales, hence there must he curtailment- by the mills before next September, showing that consumption has gone beyond the ability of production. At the prices of cotton goods spinners could have easily paid the farmers 12 cents for every pound of Ameri- i can cotton grown this year. If wo should he able to hold back two million bales for lf> cents the spin- | ners would still get the crop at an ] average price under 12 cents per] 1 ?> ? !*' puuiiu. i>ui iiiiio cotton remains1 in the hands of the producers anil ; local holders. If those who have j cotton will hold it firmly they will he well rewarded later on when the i whole world realizes the shortness i of the crop and the market responds to the actual conditions brought alK>ut hy the legitimate laws of. supply and demand.
