and the others Of his kind seem
likely TO leave a bigger mark ON
the worlds history than ora
would naturally suppose For at last,
os o direct result Of American specula-
ton In cotton, the British manufacture
ems dependent oh the American product
have gone seriously 10 work to raise
cotton enough to supply their own mills.
There has been much talk about Brit
sh cotton for years past, aud hints
have been sent out In this correspond
euce from time TO time that the move
ment was possibly a bigger affair than
had been realized In the United States.
And now there is no longer any doubt
about o. Before many years It Is pre-
dicted, the British colonies viii be turn
ing out almost as much cotton as the
United states, and much Of 1t OF equal
quality The demand is increasing so
much faster than the supply, however.
thatit is thought the only result In the
United States OF the new British move-
mcnt WIN be TO prevent corners.
In normal years the English manu-
facturers import S2OOooOOoO worth OF
raw staple, the bulk Of which comes
from the United states. They believe
that N the new scheme continues as
well as il has started 1t win not be-

.ts.
Some OF the Lancashire cotton manu-
facturers probably VIII accept the hos
pitable Invitation Of the southern manu-
facturers TO visit them and talk things
over They and their hosts will ind
themselves In accord on a good many
things and especially as 10 the desir-
ability Of hanging the stock gamblers
who get up corners In cotton But
the bulk Of the cotton men on this side
scout the suggestion that they can best
find a way out OF their troubles by lend
ing a hand 10 increase the area OF cot.
ton culture IN the south.
Lancashlres great industry has been
worse hit by the short supply and high
price OF cotton than Is generally real
lied In America, According to the
latest estimates the various interests
concerned In Il have lost more than
S5O,0O0OOO In the last twelve months.
Experts have done q lot Of figuring on
the outlook for the future, and they
have an reached the same conclusion. il
Is that II England continues dependent
on the United States for the bulk Of her
cotton, her colossal cotton manufactur-
ing industry, which directly or Indirect
BY gives employment TO 100000 people,
VIII be ruined. and that at no distant
date, Ii would be a national disaster
almost as appalling as the loss Of her
colonial empire
The worlds present production Of
cotton has been estimated by LanCn-
shire expert at 10000 900 bales, OF which
the United states produces 1000 600
bales, India 100000. Egypt 100000,
and the rest Of the world another LOCO
00O bales. In ten years from now, fig
urIng on the normal increase Of con-
sumption II Is predicted that 1900 QUO
bales will be required 10 keep the
worlds spindlcs busy, aud IN fifteen
years $4,000 600 bales That the Unit
cl states can come anywhere near sat.
