 PROPOSED COTTON GROWING IN THE SUDAN AND THE EMIGRATION OF THE NEGRO THERETO

would be even a partial failure of the crop in the United States, and they arc l impressed as never before thair their de. pendence upon one country affords an op. portunity for cornering the supply and manipulating the price. The significant growth of the new Jim. rerial sentiment among the British peo. De has fostered the desire to produce | Wlthln the Empire. as much as possible
 tne things the Empire consumes There IS now widespread and profound belief among the British cotton spinners that the only salvation of their trade is orltlsh-grown cotton. By this is not meant that British grown cotton will. at least within anything like the near future altogether take the place of Arneri- ean-groWn cotton. The hope and eApectat1on is that the British pi,' piou9cl @ VIII be supplemental to the sup dIsued that this supplemental British supply will not only meet the exnectnd shortage in American cotton. but will pre
 vent the cornering and manipulation of American cotton. ' t''i oA

 Good Results Hoped For.
 The most important results ave. bo,,a5 for in Africa, by an increase of +bo Ire,,,,, tian crop and the development of tbe it,. dustry in the Sudan. The wonderf,;l -
 tenn of water storage and irrigation 70 gently established on the Nile under pri+- ish auspices has greatly increased inc acreage of cotton cultivation, .Tanrs Boyle, United States Consul at LivevnooI in recent report to the Department oP Commerce and Labor. notes the claip, that when the projected railways are com pleted very large area will at once be put under cultivation. The qualities which can be grown are similar to Eeyo- tian and even of a better fibre, it is claimed. He says that fair quantity of cotton from the Sudan is expected at Liverpool and Manchester this season. The first consignment of Sudanese cotton recently arrived at Cairo from Khartoum and was declared to be superior in mer- ceri2ing qualities and in strength to the best Egyptian
 The Sudan, unlike Egypt. is actually British territory and much of the land { is subject to disposal by the British Coz ernment. so that here the most rapid de- relopment may be expected. The first step to this development is now being taken by the construction of a railway rom Saukim. port on the Red Sea, to Herber, on the Nile. a distance of about | "' miles. The Red Sea is one of the great 1 highways of the world and once on its | shores any staple of commerce is within | the reach of market. The prospects, for the development of ne sudan have a special interest in the | ;, t hlted states aside from the importance.i nat country may assume as a compet- tor Of ours. because the most extensive lhG systematic plans for exploiting that, esion have been originated and are d. sgteu ny an American capitalist.
