acres devoted to cotton, with an aver
age production Of 10,0O0,o00, none of
which is exported. The latter has not
over 5000 acres in cotton, with an av-
erage crop of but little over 1000, 900
pounds.
Turkey and Persia, in Asia Minor, are
producing about 4s,0OO,0oO pounds of
cotton annually.
Asiatic Russia promises to become
one of the strongest competitors of the
United States in the cotton trade. In
Russian Central Asia, trans-Caucasia
and Turkestan the increase in the cot
ton crop has been phenomenal since
1887. Between that year and 1893 the
increase in acreage devoted to cotton

area devoted to cultivation, however,

tion of Egypt WIN be very much re-

capable of being planted in cotton. The
difference in varieties, moreover, and
the fact that Egyptian cotton is only
used for special kinds of goods, prevent
any very active competition between
the cotton of these two countries.

100000 acres in 1s0so9, as compaxed
with 22,5OO,OO0 acres in the UnFed
States; or, in other words, to less than
two-thir6s of the area devoted to the
culture of cotton in the United States.
The production per acre, moreover, is
considerably less in India than in the
United States, the crop of 1S96-97
amounting to only 2,S00,O00 bales, or
1,1OO,0OO,O00 pounds, which was only
oEe-fourth the production of the Unit
ed States, on an area less than so per
cent. greater. The Indian cotton Is, as
Is we'll known, shorter stapled and gen
orally less valuable than that of the
United States.
The limit Of cotton production in In
dia has been practically reached, be-
cause of the division of land into such
small holdings. Under such conditions
the country cannot keep pace with the
increase in production that is being

was from 10000 acres to 100000 acres.
In 1898 the production amounted to
:, 800 900 pools, and in 1896 to 1000, 900
pools, or 145,O0O,OOO pounds. But lit
tie of this product is being exported as
the increase in the Russian textile in
dustry is consuming all of it. At the
present time lack of transportation
facilities greatly retards the production
of cotton throughout this territory, but
the production will grow rapidly, and
may in time become a menace to the
American cotton markets abroad, espe-
cially as not only the short-fibered In
dian cotton, but also the better Amer
lean variety thrives well in this great
district.
Both Japan and China figure promi-
nently in the cot ton production of the
world. The former is producing some
thing like 52,sOO,oOo pounds annually,
though the production is gradually de-
clining, and the latter is producing
something like 100000 pounds annu-
ally, with that production practically

and has never met the export demand.
In Cochin-China the production of
cotton is rapidly increasing, having
jumped from 1000, 900 pounds in 1890 to
1O,50O,0 900 pounds in 1897.
Africa, aside from Egypt, is produc-
ing annually about 15OOOO,OOo pounds
of cotton. Mexico has an annual crop
of between 7O,OOO,OOO and 10000 900
pounds; the West Indies about 2,OOO,-
900 pounds; Australia about 100000
pounds, and the South American states
of Colombia, Venezuela, Dutch Guiana,
Peru, Brazil and Paraguay together in
the neighborhood of 6O,OOO,O 900 pounds
annually of which Brazil produces
nearly two-thirds. In both Brazil and
Paraguay the production of cotton is
on the increase, and in Brazil may in
time again reach the aggregate of what
1t was in the early seventies, when the
annual average was about 100000 900
pounds. DANIEL, CI,EvERToN.

ONCE the early part of the century

ONCE the early part Of the century,
and with the single exception of
the period of the civil war, the
United States have been by far the
greatest cotton producers of the globe,
producing since 1884 considerably more
than half of the cotton of the world.
There are great many countries, how
ever, especially between the thirty-fifth
and fortieth degrees of latitude, both
north and south, which are adapted to
the culture of cotton. OF the total pro-
duction of the cotton of the world the
United States has produced during
the present decade five-eighths, or 62.5
per cent. The crop of the United States,
however, has increased with remark
able rapidity since the beginning of the
decade, and now forms over two'thirds
of the production of the world.
OF the total crop during the decade
20.5 per cent. was raised in India, China
and Egypt, the production of India be-
ing 1873 per cent, that of China 10 per
cent, and that of Egypt 10 per cent.
of the world; the production of the
United States, India, China, and Egypt
being SO per cent. of the total crop of
the world.
The crop of India is thus greater than
that of any other two countries ex-
cept the United States, and two-thirds
as great as the production of the rest
of the world except the United States.
The history of this cotton is intimately
connected with our own, and the COM
petition between the American and In
dian cotton has been fought out under
different conditions and in varying cir
cumstances. Shortly after the war of
1912, and during the continuance of the
civil war, the Indian cotton found Sc
cure lodgment in the British mills, and,
although since driven from there, it has
obtained foothold in some of the con-
tinental mills, the greater portion of
the importations of several continental
countries coming from India The area
devoted to the culture of cotton in
India is less than that devoted to Amer
lean cotton, this area amounting. to 49,
800, 900 acres in 1S96-97, as compared
with 23,500,O0O in the United States, and

shown In America. In India only AZ per
cent. OF the cultivated area is devoted
to cotton; In the United States but six
per cent, while in Egypt IS per cent. of
the cultivated area Is devoted to this
crop.
In many ways Egypt offers excep-
tional advantages for the production of
cotton, and while the country will
never become strong competitor OF
the United States in the worlds cotton
markets, yet the increase in both acre
age and production has been quite re-
markable during the past ten or twelve
years.
Between the years 1886 and 1890 the
area increased from an average of 919,-
900 acres to 100000 acres. Irrigation
made this increase in area possible, and
II has also increased the productiveness
OF the soil to such an extent that the
crop on these acres has grown from an
average of 29s 100000 pounds in 1890 to
523,oOO,0 900 during the years from 1891
TO 1897. The productivity of the soil is
considerably greater than in either the
United States or India. the production

compared 10 200 pounds In the United

the Probate Court of Pennsylvania,
who died in Scranton in 1895 His es-
tate was appraised at 81, 400 900. but its
future value, - being in coal and lum-

Handley was an ardent lover of the

as the John Handley Library. and after
making other requests, left the residue
of his estate to the city of Winchester

the education of the poor Cousins Of
the testator attacked the latter clause
of the will, contending that Judge
Handley died interstate as to all except
the specific requests and that they
should inherit the residue. They urged
that the residuary clause was invalid
because the city of Winchester. being
