| tethers length.
Look at the benefit conferred on Indian Cotton
even by partial steam, which enabled merchants
TO transmit their orders to Bombay in one month
instead OF four on the homeward trip the Cotton
still occupies some four to FIVE months that is
about now to be remeded by railroads on the over
land route and also in India.
In the fall Of price from 1920 to 80 compared as
above with 1910 to 1920 imports of Indian Cot
ton fell Off lSl per cent.
In the fall of prices from 1910 to 1850 compared
as above 1850 to 1910, imports Of Indian Cotton,
through the partial aid OF steam to carry orders
TO InGla, increased 81 per cent.
Well 1t is SET n that the Iiindoo has had as yet no
capltal-thst he pays75 per cent per annum for any
that he bcrT0ws-that he has had no gins no
presses no interior roads-that he has, ne verthe-

land in the face Of the lowest prices to which the
Cotton has been vet reduced. Heis now about TO
get these roads. and he will get English capital for
some 30 per cent. at highest per annum. he will
have gins and presses established in his villages
and he will be able to lay do gn his Cotton at Ii.
yerpool for 3 to Sd per h., and have an ample
margin for profit.
The reason that he can do 80 is very perceot-
