The Importance Of Americas Cotton Produ

volume of such speculative transact
items at times is probably double or
triple the entire American cotton crop.
It is not surprising when these facts
are considered that the recent advance
in cotton has occurred, and when a
change of sentiment takes place it is
not impossible that a reverse market
movement will develop that will be
equally extreme in the effect it creates.
AS regards the relationship between
supply and demand this year, it is to
be said that experience shows that
there is hardly any article of commerce
the demand for which is as elastic as
is the demand for cotton. A piece of
cotton goods, whether used as a sheet
or a shirt or a sail or a frock, lasts
upon an average fer about year. but
when cetton is high and goods are ex-
pensive experience shows that it can
be made to last a year and half, and
when high prices for cotton goods CO.
incide with hard times and a dinlinu-
ten. of the purchasing power of the
masses the effect of economy upon the
durability of cotton fabrics is aston
ishing. In the past it has always been
that any shortage in the cotton crop
has been offset by this disposition to
ecenomize in the use of cotton fabrics,
and this fact has upset the calculations
of many spectators who have figured
that the demand was compulsory ana
that the world must buy cotton at any
price. Whether this will be the case

As prfncely a talent as ever came from
his hand to mortal stewardship"
Expressed in colder statistical for
n1ula. Mr.. Grady's apostrephe- may be
reduced to the following facts:
Thirteen southern states of the Unit
ed States produce about 50 per esnt
of the worlds cotton consumption. the
annual value of the crop thus produced
being about $780, eco. 1t is the third
most valuable crop produced in the
United States. From it there is spun
and woven so per cent of the cotton
fabrics worn by the civilized world,
and. next to food, cotton has become
the most essential requirement of So
ciety.
The cotton exports from the United
States for the past ten years have fur
nished two-thirds of the balance of
trade in favor of the United States,
and without this crop America would
doubtless have been a debtor instead of
a creditor nation at the worlds clear
ing house.

rary organization was effected, and It
was decided to Issue g call for con-
vention in Chicago to which should be
invited several hundred employers. rep
resenting a total capital in the billions.
AS usual. Mr.. Parry was outspoken in
his denunciation of the unions He is
quoted as having declared that "it is
the intention of this association to
choke off the inclination of organized
labor to conduct the business of this
country on an unlawful basis. It Is
our intention to throw a safeguard
about the nonunion workman and the
man who desires to work for his own
interests and for whom he plsases."
A month later the convention was
held, those present organizing with the
name of the Citizens Industrial Asso-
citation of America, Mr.. Parry being
chosen president. Delegates from dfty-
seven cities, including several of Can
ada, attended the convention, and res
olutions were adopted calling attention
to the strained relations between en-
ployers and employed ana their bad ef-
feet on business conditions and de
manding protection for all seeking to
earn a livelihood"
This in brief is the story Of the pre-

| clares that his efforts will be crowned
with success and that the ultimate re-
suit will be the effecting of a better I'M

That this opinion is not shared by the
leaders of organized labor is patent
| from their unsparing condemnation OF
Mr.. Parry's views and methods.

The population of the thirteen south
ern states producing cotton is approx
imately 2o,eeD 900 souls. This entire
population is interested in and more or
less directly affected by the price of it's
principal preduct.
According to the last census of the
United States, the number of wage
earners engaged in the industry of cot
ton spinning and weaving in America
was 71c,6o4, and the class similarly
employed in Europe and Great Britain
Is censervatively estimated at 1900, 900.
We have thus a total of probably not
less than 26.eonoOo people interested in
and dependent upon the American cot
ton crop. The volume of commerce
and speculation thus generated is i'm
mense. For the most part it is con-
Quoted upon the great exchanges 81
New York, New Orleans and Li1terr< DOL,
but other cotton exchanges OF Ininor
Importance, such as those at Iko1e, ia
pan; Bremen, Germany; Havr E, France.
and Bombay, India, do a lfenke bust
ness. The aggregate Hennbe bsAaip of all
the cotton exchanges in TIE world is
probably net less than 1o,tAe, and the
aggregate quantity of cs kton bought
and sold daily upon thes cotton ex-
changes will average at feast 1000 eco
bales, or zoe. 0e0, Gee baleF, for the entire
year. For handling thiB business there
is made an average Charge of 8 cents
per bale, so that the ketal commissions
earned upon the vatioUS exchanges is
