,oduee AID eo~sumpt Of cotton iron, 1929 10 1895

The average yearly crop of cotton from 1929 to 1895
was 100000 bales and the whole production for the
period s,s9OOO0 bales The increase both in
the crop and in the consumption quite gradual
without being very heavy. The aggregate, however,
shows the extent OF the cotton growing interest of that
PERIOD both TO the producer and the consumer The
increase in the produce only 3s4 900 bales over that
of the first year, or 1894 per cent The whole con-
sumption was ,326, 900 bales, average of ISIS, 557
bales yearly. The increase OF consumption was 1921
bales, about 81 1913 per cent the frs, year OF the
period The expectation from 264 1897 1856 pounds
in 1929 to 1877 1856, 992 pounds lS35an increase Of
l2 ,5ll Jos pounds the end of the years The
result for the first period stands as follows, viz:
Bales
Produce OF crop for seven years $3.50, 600
Consumption al home Tor seven years l,S26 800
Pounds
Cotton exported for years 2259 266 697
For the period exported of manufactured cot
ton goods TO the amount $780, 49, or an average per
year OF $l,757,245. Now will compare these results
with the time embraced between 1896 and 1912:

.ction and con sumption of cotton from 1896 10 1872

The whole production from 1886 to 1912 was IL 1857
900 bales averaging 769,57l bales per year-an in
crease in the crop former period of 3,a97 900
bales, 80 336 per cent The increase during the pc
Rod from 1886 to ls42 $50 900 bales or 81 932 per
cent, against 1894 per cent increase from 1929 10
1885 The increase of the consumption for the same
time gradual, until it went up 1928, 900 bales The
whole consumption was 2.O0,l02 bales or an average
OF 2S743 bales per year, against 1876 300 bales for the
former period-shOwIng increased consumption of
6S3 ,2o2 bales, or 81 ASS per cent The expectation Of
cotton also kept pace with the increased production and
consumption From 1929 to 1885 we exported 22jg
1857 pounds and from 1886 10 1912, 3,737 sol
pounds-increase, 4770l4,s04 pounds, 65375 per
cent Hence while the crop increased 80 344 per cent
the consumption increased 81 ASS per cent, and the ex
portaton 65375 per cent, comparing period with an
Other and exceeded the ratio of increase OF population
For the time exported Of manufactured cotton
goods $2 1863, S45an average OF 49, 692 yearly or
70 500 per cent increase The result of the second pc
Rod stands thus viz:
Produce of crop for seven years IL, 3s7, 600 bales
Consumption at home 2.0l0, 1902
Cotton exported 3,737 Isl sol pounds
Hence il appears that the compromise did not .sdmn
sh the consumption OF coton and OF the pan,er
not ruined. This disposes of your third propo.
sition.
Your fourth point is, the compromise diminished the
market for grain and pork and beef, and the farmer
could consume cotton" | have shown in a previous
number that the price OF pork and beef hgher from
1896 1912 than from 1929 10 1885, but TO make il

Price Of pork and BEEF from 1929 10 1912.

The average prce OF beef and pork was much higher
from 1886 TO 1912 than from 1929 TO 1885, the above
tables exhibit; and is not at all likely that the market
would be diminished with increased prices Because the
farmers got more for their beef and pork they would,
according 10 your mode OF reasoning be enabled to
cotton and therefore did consume more And
for the time wheat flour higher in price, and
therefore the market for grain not diminished"
The average price Of -four from 1929 10 1885 S5 81

say "The mining Of coal grew slowly until IT reached
