Unusually Prosperous
Condition.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES

Two million Of dollars day 10 what
Uncle Sam received In October for the
raw cotton he exported. This 10 an
enormous result from . single aRri.
cultural product, even for . country
OF such enormous results ~ the United
States, says the New York Sun. By
the records Of the Bureau Of Statistics
Of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, the comparison with prior 90
tobers is:
1900 e6,474,437
1901 as, 900, 900
1902 $4,000, 900
1908 60, 2sS,4i2
The quantity exported this October
was 694, $40, $40 pounds at an aver
age price OF 10. ic per pound.
II must not b. assumed that we are
getting $4,000, 900 q day the year
round for our raw cotton exports, but
we are getting more than ti, 1000, 900 a
day. Sundays and holidays included,
for the cotton and it's prodcuts which
we send abroad In the fiscal year
1908 this total export was s376, 759,-
CAS-.
These figures give us $1,000, 900 a
day for the full fiscal year and tll,-
767, 646 over. Even for raw cotton
alone gathered in s3i6. ,429, or
over u, o0c. 900 each business day In
1908 fiscal year. For the twelve
months ended October. 1908, the show.
ing is still better. namely, $500, 400,
siA These results are larger than in
any preceding year in tho history Of
our country.
IL is probable that the Southern
people have this year more money to
spend than they have had Mt any time
since the war.
This increase in purchasing power
will result in msterisl and perma.
nent advance for the Southern states.
IL will lead to an improvement in
southern agricultural methods, 70 the
development OF new sources Of wealth,
and will add materially to the prot I
on future crops. The worlds demand
for cotton has gone beyond the world s
supply. and the South will now pro-
pare TO meet that demand by increas.
ing the production Of cotton. at the
same time increasing the production
of other crops, leaving the cotton crop
more and more NJ money crop in the
South.
