YANKEES WANT CHEAP COTTON.
President Walmsley, of New Eng
land Manufacturers Associa-
ton, Thinks Supply of Cotton
Should be Increased.

Boston, April 27.-In his annual ad-
dress to the members of the New Eng
land Cotton Manufacturers association
which begs its yearly convention
here today President Herbert f..
Walmsley said that one of the most
pressing questions engaging the atten-
tion of the cotton world today was
that of the Development of the south
ern cotton belt. He held that it was
essential to the interests of the Unit
ed States as producer, manufacturer
and exporter of cotton, that the supply
from our fields be increased and its
cost reduced so as to retain an enor-
nous source of wealth to the country.
He expressed the belief that the trade
would never be free from unlawful
high prices, speculation and unsatis-
factory and harmful fluctuations, until
there is an ample supply of the raw
material.'
Mr.. Walmsley thought that the re-
salts of the disasters Of the IL months
just passed with it's shortage of cotton
and its speculative manipulation
would ultimately prove blessing in
disguise for the entire manufacturing
world. It was not unreasonable. he
said, to anticipate revival Of trade
at remunerative prices and return to
long period of prosperity. Speak
ing of the labor problem the president
said it might be long time before
uniform working day or week was
established by the United States, but
when the necessity for it was recogniz-
ed, he said, it would inevitably come.
He pointed out that the margin of
profit in cotton manufacturing was
now so small that such a difference as
exhists IN the working hours in differ
ent States, particularly between the
north and south, was enough to compel
removal to the south where there are
longer labor Jays or else suspension
of business altogether. Mr.. Walmsley
said that it would appear that relief
may come through immigration from
southern Europe for the development
of the cotton fields. He suggested
that the economic necessity might be-
come so pressing as to justify and even
demand the importation Of some form
of Asiatic labor; or instance. the Japa-
nese. Tho operatives, he said, were
the chief sufferers from the lack of
raw material and the situation had
become intolerable.
Theodore II. Price of New York read
paper upon "The Cotton Situation. :"
in connection with which be referred
to an alleged breach between the pro-
ducers of cotton and the purchasers.
He said that he did not believe any
such antagonism existed but thought
there was bitter feeling towards the
speculator. Mr.. Price held that the
American spinner is in position to
exert tremendous power in restrain
ing immoderate speculation and in
establishing stability of values.
