OUR EXPORT TRADE IN COTTON GOODS

OUR EXPORT TRADE IN COTTON GOODS
From time to time for two years past we
have called attention to the increased exports
of cotton goods from the United States to for
eign countries. We have expressed the opin-
ion that before many years cotton manulac-
lures will be exported from New-lork and
Boston to as great an extent as pre-
viously to 1850. In that year our ex-
ports of cotton manufactures OF all sorts
reached total value of $10,934,796. The
trade was destroyed by the war and only par
tally recovered In the year 1872 the exports
were 81, $3.50; i'll 1878, $2,947,52S; in
1874, $3,O95, $40; and in 1875, $4,071,7S
For the current year they will, perhaps, be
three or four millions greater. This Is the So
Der truth about our exports of cotton goods and
we cannot see that the prospect is to any
considerable extent changed by the circum-
stance that last week we shipped to Liverpool
some S141.42O worth of "domestics," as our
cotton goods are called. If, as some people
hastily infer, we can undersell the Manchester
manufacturers under the shadow of their own
mills. we can also undersell them in every
foreign market. The truth is we can do neither
the one nor the other. The utmost we can
expect is to supply some special kinds of goods
to certain markets and gradually to extend
our trade within those limits To overthrow
the British export trade in cotton goods is al
most as impossible as it would be to sink the
British Islands.
The growth Of the cotton manufacture in
England is the greatest wonder in the history
of commerce. In century of nexampled
IL Il
example of that progress. The average annual
value of the British exports of cotton goods
and warn is now 1919, 100000 in coin, and
the annual imports of raw cotton exceed $780,
100000. AS the degenerate Romans quarried
material for their lime-kilnS for centuries from
the walls of the Coliseum without destroying
that mighty structure, so we may rest assured
that it will be the labor of more than one
generation to build up an export trade i'll cot
ton manufactures to rival that of England.
Nevertheless, while few persons who have OBJ
served the movements of commerce will eX-
pect to see great or sudden changes in a
branch of trade so well established and fully
developed as that in cotton goods, there are
countries in respect to which 1T may be con-
iectured that the United States will gain upon
Great Britain in the contest for their custom.
