The foregoing statement indicates that
the mills north and south have taken
from this crop 1901, 1877 bales. If we
now apply to these figures, and also to
the figures of the previous three years,
the statement of increase and decrease
of stock believed TO be held by the
mills, we have the following as the act
ual consumption Of the mills for the
four years:

northern spinners are smaller than in
dictated above, their consumption has
been somewhat larger.
