Washington, May 19.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture will shortly issue
a comprehensive report on the con-
sumption of cotton in the cotton states,
compiled by j. L. Watkins, the cotton
expert of the bureau of statistics.
1t traces cotton manufacture in this
country from it's inception to the pres
ent time, and reviewing the industry
in the past twenty years, says that
notwithstanding the great increase in
the worlds consumption of cotton, the
overshadowing feature of the period is
the phenomenal increase in consump-
ton in the cotton states. This con-
sumption in the South increased 1907
900 bales, or 500 per cent. The con-
sumption in the North has increased
762, 900 bales, or SO per cent, and in
the whole country 2,369,O0O bales, or
nearly las per cent.
This, the report says, is of immense
significance to the countries consum-
ing American cotton because every
additional 10000 bales consumed in
this country means shorter time for
some foreign mill, perhaps its shut
ting down, assuming, of course, that
no further expansion of the American
crop will take place. During the past
twenty years the. United States have
increased their cotton crop nearly 81
500, 900 bales, or about SO per cent. In
dia's crop has increased 100000 bales
of 400 pounds each, or 70 per cent;

TALMAGE REPORTS RICE
HAS MOVED STEADILY,

New York. May 19.-The mar
ket for the week has moved along
steadily. There is more en-
quiry both on local and nearby ac-
count-the latter asking for prompt
shipment. While there are, no signs
of speculation, when particularly de-
sirable parcels are under consideration,
buyers have taken hold literally, some
what in advance of immediate require
ments. Prices are in the main, steady.
During quiet periods. soft spots are
not unusual, but primary points are
exacting full value and on some grades,
an item above parity of this mar
ket.
Advices from the South note fair
movement on the Atlantic Coast. At
New Orleans, there is increased de-
INDEPENDENTLY on the higher
grades, which are being taken prompt
ly at marked advance. In the interior
Southwest Louisiana and Texas, a
better feeling is reported. Quite a
number of the mills have closed down
for the season. The growing crop is
being subject to the various vicis-
situdes of growth, which in some local
tiles have necessitated replanting. and
may result in a reduced acreage at
harvest.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note no new features on con-

J. II. PARKER a CO.'S
Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick q
Company.

New York, May 19.-Liquidation Of
the long interest in July continued this
morning, and was not checked until
that month touched the 10 cent mark,
a loss of q points from yesterdays
close. Other months sympathized in
varying degrees, but there were so
many buying orders sent in at once
at IL cents for December that that
figure proved a rallying point, and
practically prevented further decline.
The market at the low level was plain
ly sold out and oversold, and it did
not take very much demand to turn
the current and send prices upward
again.
The covering by room shorts, which
represented practically the only de-
mand was sufficient to recover all the
early loss. Liverpool did not give any
encouragement to those who had hoped
that a lower level would attract spin
ners. 1t would seem rather that for
eign markets are more impressed by
the improvement in weather conditions
and the possibilities thus held out of
a good. 1t is true some demand de-
veloped in the South on the break,
but 1t is more likely that the rally in
futures was caused by the squeeze in
May wheat shorts in Chicago, sug-
costing that a like fate might be In
store for the July shorts in cotton.
Foreign as these two elements are
to one another, the cases are some

Futures opened barely steady and
from points higher to lower. Liver
pool and New York were both weak.
Bears promptly hammered in New
York, and this sent prices off with
Liverpool showing a quick response.
In the local market the opening
brought out a great mass of selling
orders that had evidently accumulated
over night. Short sellers were in the
majority and the market was sent
down solely under the weight of SELL
ing orders. For some time after the
opening it was distinctly weak and but
for profit-taking by shorts, July would
undoubtedly have been sent down to
13 cents.
The ring was noisy, especially when
any short rally occurred. In the trad

COTTON STATES CONSUMING
THE COTTON THEY RAISE
Great Increase in the Quantity Consumed in the
United States.

Egypt's crop has increased $4,000
bales of 500 pounds each, or 70 per
cent; Russia, which used to draw so
largely upon this country for her raw
cotton, is now supplying her own mills
with 100000 or 100000 bales grown in
her trans Caspian provinces; Brazil has
almost ceased exporting cotton on ac-
count of home demand for her crops,
and the continent of Europe has in
creased it's consumption of cotton q
492, 900 bales, or about IS per cent.
The consumption of cotton in East
India, the report points out, has in
creased 100000 bales, or about 200 per
cent. in the last twenty years, and
the mills now use about half of the
crop produced there; Japan has erect
ed mills equipped with 1,333,000 spin
dies and is consuming from 100000 to
700, 900 bales of cotton annually, nearly
25 per cent. of which is American;
the worlds consumption of cotton has
increased nearly 100000 bales, or
about "a per cent, and the United
States, the largest producer, also have
become the largest consumer of cot
ton; hence the price of their staple is
now regulated in the home market in
stead of Liverpool.
Every year since 1890 there has been
an increase in the number of mills and
spindles in operation, and with the sim
gle exception of 1S9S-1S94 an increase
in the number of bales consumed.

ton Overheard.
New York, May 19.-Another break
to-day on New Orleans selling. No
change in the market, simply l.quida-
ton, New Orleans appears to have
grown tired of the strain and thrown
cotton overheard.
1t would have been better for the
market to have the New Orleans stock
distributed rather than concentrated.
But the trade there has it's own way
of doing things. The absence of d
good demand for cotton has turned
the situation into one of such dullness
that when New Orleans tried to hedge
the market here and in New Orleans
gave way. AS long as the crop news
is better, we look for no change.
There was nothing to buy on as long
as spot cotton is heavy and crop news
good. 1t may be the June condition
will not be up to the standard but
there Will be nothing to buy on for
d time without actual damage.
This may be a bear year, but it is
too early to take a stand either way.
It's scalping market with a down

The same apathy existed on the Local

The receipts show a decided falling
off, and there Is an absence of demand
from soinners that tends to keep both
spots and futures down.
The weather map is favorable and
this inclines to give a bearish aspect to
the market.

To-day's cotton market shows plain
ly that statistics have very little to
do with price of staple. Where the
demand is small 1t is hardly in the
memory of present active cotton man
that he has seen the interior receipts
assume such insignificant. figures so
early in the season and yet prices of
cotton must go to a level to where
consumers will buy more freely before
there will be any great Improvement
in values.
The manner in which the mills are
holding off is disheartening to spot
holders of the South. The general
rally tonight is on belief that the de-
cline has shaken out any weak longs,
and rather cleaned up the situation,
but the trade conditions which prevailed
in early part of the week are prac-
tically the same. On New York's close
tonight Liverpool is due to come 3
