price of cloths manufactured from COT

statistics show that cotton "printing
cloths" were quoted at 1888 cents per
yard in 1872, while reports just pub

cents per yard in the cotton year 1898

1t is proper to add that the price

upon the currency values of that peri

be slightly less. Cotton "printing

COTTON STATISTICS.
Government Reports Showing How Pro-
duction Goes Up and Prices Go Down.

Government Reports Showing How Pro-
duction Goes Up and Prices Go Down.
A special to the New York Times
from Washington says: The pheno-
manally low price of cotton recently
reached, said to be the lowest point
reached in many years, lends special
interest to a series Of tables just COM
piled by the treasury bureau of statis-
tics showing the remarkable increase
in cotton production and the coincl-
dental fall in prices. These tables
show that the United States, the chief
cotton producer of the world, has
uuadrupled her cotton production since
1872 and that the price of cotton in
the same period has fallen TO about
one-fourth that which prevailed in
that year.
In 1872 the cotton crop of the Uni
ted States is shown to have been 1884,
0S4 ,949 pounds with al average price
of 22.19 cents per pound in 1898 the
crop is reported at 1861, ,372,O5l
pounds, with an average price of 6.29
cents per pound. Thus the produc.
ton of 1898 is more than four times
the amount of 1872, and the average
price but little over one-fourth that
of that year.
When it is considered that the other
portions of the world that grow cotton
have not at all reduced their produc-
ton meantime it is apparent that the
increased cotton supply of the world
in the quarter of a century under con-
sideration has been very great and far
in advance of the increase of popula-
ton of consuming power.
Twenty five years ago the United
States produced 70 per cent. of the
cotton of the world today she pro-
duces s. per cent. of the worlds
cotton.
This increase in the percentage has
been not because of a reduction of the
cotton produced in other parts of the
world, but simply on account of the
increase of our own. The cotton sup
ply of the other cotton producing Sec
tions of the world in 1928 was
1867 900 bales, and in 1S97-9S 1861
600 bales. The average cotton pro-
duction of other countries from 1872
to 1878 was 1,61s,O bales per annum
and from 1890 to 1897 was 1924, 900
bales per annum showing that there
has also been a slight growth in cotton
production in other parts of the world,
while our own production has been in
creasing enormously.
Not only. has the price of cotton fall
len at about the same rate that the
production has increased but there has
also been a corresponding fall in the
