COTTON is STILL IN.
Though the value Of the grain now
raised in that section exceeds on the
farm the value of the cotton crop, cot
ton is still the dominant power in the
business life of the South. No other
country has such a monopoly of any
agricultural staple of such worldwide
influence as the South has Of cotton.
Cotton and cotton-seed bring to South
ern farmers an average of $500, DOC, 600
a year. The comparatively new indus
try of c~ottonseed-oil making now EN-
ploys over $40 900 of capital and
yields an annual product of upwards of
$50, 0OO. From Galveston alone the
foreign exports Of cotton Oil and cotton
seed meal are averaging nearly 1000
tons a day. OF this industry the South
has almost as much of q monopoly as it
has of cotton-growing, but in the manu-
facture Of cotton goods this section,
though making marvellous progress, is
still only getting we'll started. There
are about 100000, 900 cotton spindles in
the world. The South furnishes the
cotton for about th~ree-fourths of these,

tons each for the Pacific trade, the
