Probably no other one article In
commerce has varied more In consump-
lion and fiuctuation on the market that
has cotton. whltney's invention Of the
cotton gin gave the staple an impetus
from which It has been steadily grow
ing until 1t has become the chief arti-
Ne OF eommerce in the markets Of the
world.
In l19t, the year the cotton gin was
patented, 1886 bales were produced
In the United States, averaging 225
pounds, and the price was 30 cents per
pound; by 1900 the crop had increased
10 l55,556 bales and tho price was
lowered to 2s cents. The production
gradually increased and In q score Of
years had reached GO6Osl bales, which
Dold at II cents the weight OF bales
had been increased to 264 pounds.
What was probably the greatest bull
movement ever known in tho cotton
market occurred In 1926, when cotton
advanced In Liverpool ITO per cent,
followed by an advance OF IS per cent
an this country but 1t was a speculative
venture and the price soon declined,
and by 1880 had gotten as low as 1000
cents. The crop In that year amounted
90 97S,sa5 bales, with an average weight
OF S3s pounds.
Prices were well sustained during the
next decade but In 1870 tho largest
crop ever produced up to that time
caused the greatest average decline for
ssn years. cotton being sold at S92
cents The crop for the year was 2.177,-
sS5 balea, averaging 9Ss pounds. The
number of spindles in operation at the
close OF the decade was 2.2S5.S37.
In 1916 a good authority said "the
supply of cotton In the United States,
including Texas. is far beyond tho
wants of Europe" and the price for
that year dropped to the lowest known
up TO that time, SOS cents, but ad-
vanced the year following. The crop
for Isi5. was 2.ssi,5Qs bales. In is47 the
crop was greatly Injured by caterpillara
and the price rose 10 li,2l cents. but
dropped back 10 sos in iSis.
BY 1860 the crop had Increased 70
4,sei,e9a bales OF 4si pounds, selling at
Al cents, but during the following de-
NNSE Nnihc tire Nottoh ihnlnes cHNseu
by tha civil war, and In 1864. when the
estimated crop was only 100000 bales
the price went up to ioi.50 by the
close OF the decade. however, the price
went down 10 ga4s cents. and the error
amounted 10 3,ie2,55i bales.
In the succeeding ten years there was
considerable depression in trade and
pylcns ruled lower. Improved methods
o. cultivation We're largely introduced
ia the use Of sulky eultiyators and
cotton planters. by 1880 the produc
ton had reached e,70i.eaa bales, IN,
