The active demand from continental spin

previous seasons is likely TO have been fully

never been more promising for a favorable

Eyp0Rr PRICES LOwER,

1t became apparent In the early part Of
the year that the value OF cotton exports
could not he expected 10 reach the phenom-
enally high figure of the preceding year.
The export prices OF 19Oo-1901 were the
highest that had been reanzed for many
years and as result the total value Of cot
ton exported in the fiscal year 1901 was
greater than in any previous year in the
history Of our commerce, amounting TO over
S3OOCCO,000 and forming more than one
fifth of the total value OF the exports OF
that greatest year In the country's export
trade. The average price or cotton export
ed in the fisca year 1901 was nearly Jl5
cents per pound. while the average export
price in the fiscal year 1HC2 was SA cents
per pound. II Is not surprising then that
the value OF cotton exported IN 1901-lH02
fell about S23.O0o,0O0 below that OF 1900
1901, athough the quantity exported vas
year past than in the former one.
INCREASE OF SOUTHERN coNsUAiP-
TIoN.
The year has been remarkable in the
Increase OF Southern consumption. In
spite OF an unsatisfactory year in me cot
ton milling industry the heavy increase OF
taklngs led Mr. Hester to comment az
length upon the subject at the end Of tho
preceding season. But the result Ia tho
past year must be surprising III this re
spect While Mr.. Hesters figures for the
season hove not been completed the est
mate OF the New York cotton exchange has
brought this enlarged consumption into
prominent tight placing the taklngs for the
year az 10000 against ,62O98l last year
