Europe has been decreasing. The United

Increasing quantities Of their own crops,
while the discovery Of tho process OF mer-
l;cerlzation has taxed the supply Of Egyp-
Il tian cotton for this industry and has
Withdrawn It to this extent from the
ordinary cotton-manufacturing industry.
The gap had to be filled, as far as pos

would appear that unless Europe can
open UP a new source of supply she
must ever become moro dependent upon
tho American cotton crop. In view Of
the fact that the United States Is con-
Stunning rapidly increasing share OF her

rather peculiar situation in case the at.

From all accounts and the appearance
Of the American apples displayed here IN

arrived in excellent condition, showing
not oily that they are from a sound

fruit growers and dealers have greatly
improved their methods Of picking and
packing for export The point is proven
that. given good. sound apple crop In
the United States, the standard varieties
can be exported with entire safety In
ordinary ventilated barrels without any
of the elaborate and more or less costly
paper wrappings that are used In putting
up apples of choice quality from France.
