JAPAN WANTS OUR COTTON.
Texas Grown Staple Considered the
Best by Manufacturers.

Houston. Texas. Sept. IA promi-
nent Japanese visitor to Houston is
Yoshuhi Sakurai, representing the cot
ton department Of Morimura, Aral 4
Co, of New York, who is touring Texas
and who spent a part Of Il week in the
city.
Mr.. Sakhurai says the firm he repre-
sents buys much cotton in the United
States, although the India product is
cheaper. The latter is not Of sufficient
quality to use exclusively in the Japa-
nese mills. Texas cotton Is the best
that grows, measured by the japanese
standard of excellence.
Japan has taken 100000 bales of
American cotton since last September"
said Mr. Sakurai, "and I believe the
prospect is good for d greater move
rlcnt than that during the coming year.
The trade Of Japan with the United
States is constantly increasing. In cot
ton. particularly. the American product
is superior to that Of any other, ana
Japan is becoming more and more
market for this staple from the South
ern States"
