sent a petition to the imperial chan
cellor, requesting that every means be
used to introduce cotton growing into
the different German colonies where
climate and soil favor. With THE eX-

many is entirely dependent upon the
United States and England for this
commodity, and she consumes more
of it than any nation of the continent.
This accounts for her desire to pro-

Germany, France and England
says the consul, have never forgotten
the days of the civil war, when their
cotton supply was completely cut off
by the blockade of the southern
states"
There is a tendency, he said, on the
part of cotton Industries to gravftate
towards the centerS OF production, that
is, the United States, England and the
East Indies. The shifting of cotton
mills and manufacturers ITO these points
