Exports of Cotton Manufactures

Exports of cotton manufactures
from japan to China in 1898 we're
valued at $751; and in 19 3, sl6,-
1875. O54. Meantime the quantity of raw
cotton exported from the United
States to Japan has grown from 1885,
242 pounds in 1893 to l6l, 6o1,2l9
pounds in 1900, the value of he same
being in 1898 s68, 42S. and in 1902, s12,
712, 619. The quantity and value lr
1903 were somewhat reduced by rea-
son of the very high price OF Amerl-
can cottons and. the fact that JAPAN
in years of high prices in America
turns for a part of her cotton supply
to India. The general fact, however.
that Japan increased her purchase or
our raw cotton from Se8, coo in 1888
to 81. 800, 600 in 1903, and in the same
period increased her sales of manufac-
tured cotton to China from S25l, GOO lp
1898 to- SIG, 600, 600 in 1903, suggests
the possibilities which await the cot
ton !. manufactures of the Unlteo
States. Yarns form a much larger
proportion Of Japan's exports OF COZ
ton manufactures than is the case
with those of European countries
This is apparently due to the fact tha6
her manufacturing establishments
have not yet reached the same stage
of perfection. and in part, also, to
the fact that the people of ber lar
gest customer, China utilize yarns
largely in the household manufac-
tures of cotton cloths fox domestic
use. Figures recently compiled show
that the worlds expectation OF cotton
