years mas given .4UU, ,U00 DaleS as the
normal annual increase in the demand.
Considering the figures just deduced
as applicable to this seasons growth
they indicate that one year with an
other the several manufacturing
counties, together with mills built in
lands previously without cotton manu-
featuring plants, add to the number Of
their actual spindles no less than
100000 yearly.
Accounting for this steady and con-
siderable enlargement Of the use Of cot
ton one would naturally infer that it
was altogether attributable to the con-
stantly growing number Of the inhab-
itants Of the earth and to the gradual
bringing under the influences Of civ
ilization Of previously barbarous and
| unclad peoples. While this Is to some
extent true there are other causes not
less important. The chief Of these be-
ing a recognition by the mass Of con-
sumers Of the intrinsic value Of the
staple, together with new uses which
are being discovered almost daily to
! which cotton can be proftably applied.
The Worlds Cotton Crop.
| Americans are more than prone to
neglect the probable yield Of other
countries when collecting, data on which
to found the future value Of our own
staple. This Is not altogether a wise
course to pursue when we remember
that altogether we are by far the larg-
est growers Of the staple though other
countries produce no inconsiderable
quantities.
To illustrate last season Qs04 '05)
when the American crop was a record
breaking one, the four leading cotton
growing areas produced in round fig
ures:
| United States. >. .. :. IL, ,557 900 bales
India. :. .. .. .. .. 3,917 900 bales
| Egypt. :. ;. :. .. -. $4,000 bales
Brazil, Asiatic Russia. 2,S66000 bales
Total. :. :. :. :. :. :. 21,16s,000 bales
These figures Of the commercial
crops Of the world show our prepon-
fdering influence as growers. They
falso correct an all too common error.
Many writer's and public speakers are
not altogether exact when dealing with
this subject. It has grown to be an
almost settled belief, difficult to change
with most people, that the South pro-
duces from 70 to 80 per cent. Of the
!! total commercial crop. From table ~,
it is plain that even during our record
year we only raised 64 per cent. OF the
commercial cotton supply Of last sea-
son.
New Source Of Cotton Supply.
Cotton is grown in relatively small
quantities in many countries seldom
heard of as producers Of the staple.
Table V gives a compilation of these
and their estimated output for the last
three seasons The slow but steady
increase in yield from year to year is
significant What the ultimate out
come Of the, large sums now being
spent by European cotton growing as
sociations will be it would be wild in
deed to predict. 1t is none the less true
that the high prices now ruling have
added to the zeal Of the managers Of
these several movements.

Free Cuba's Triumph.

New YOrk 0uI.
Cuba has justified our prediction
that she would rise to the situation and
grapple successfully with the epidemic
with which she was threatened. While
there remains a possibility of its
sporadic temperance, all danger OF
the spread of yellow fever now seems
to have disappeared. Dispatches from
Habana report that the sanity authort-
ties regard the disease as extinct IN
that city.
The health officers of the island acted
with comnaendable pronptness and
efficiency. During the years that have
passed since the last epidemic there
has been large increase in the nom
immune population. A record of only
SO cases and % deaths since the first
appearance Of the disease three months
ago is most creditable to those charg-
ed with the control and suppression Of
the disorder. In a comparison with the
New Orleans experience Cuba comes
out long way ahead.
The Importance of Cuba's record this
year stands out more clearly when
comparison Is made with the situa-
ton of ten years ago. During the
period 1S90-1S99 the recorded nuI,.ieer or
deaths from yellow fever was All, or
an annual average Of 4S3. in 1856 the
deaths numbered 1882. Only five years
ago, during the second year ofi the
American occupation, the number Awas
80. Cuba has done we'll.

annum.

period operated 27,S50, 600 splndles Wnlcl
