The Cotton Trade from 1926 to 1850

Instead of our annual review of the Cotton
trade for single year, we propose to extend
our examinations back to a longer period. For
this purpose we have collected in our statistical
tables, the production, consumption stocks. and
prices of Cotton for each year from 1910 to
1850. and for the more important particulars of
the trade. we have gone back as far as 1925.
This period Of twenty-five years we have divided
into intervals Of FIVE years, and given the aver
age. for each, noting the rate of increase or de-
crease for each country separately. By taking
average results we get clear OF the fluctuations
arising from short crops and other disturbing
causes and are able TO observe the general pro-
Iuress free from those temporary variations
which prevent US Judging accurately the real
changes that are taking place. In this review
we shall see very prominent place assigned 10
our country The United States is not only the
largest producer, but the largest consumer of
Cotton; our production has advanced with such
rapid strides that we have dstanced all compe-
tiors; the cotton goods worn by our people ex-
ceeG now the amount used by Great Britain
and all her dependencies in the four quarters Of
the globe, and the demands Of our manufactures
have increased with much greater rapidly Than
those OF any country in the world.
In the table of supplies Gable /, at the end

countries have been nearly stationary our pro-
duction has advanced with great rapdty. In
