The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was 49,
6S4,146 bales annually, and the aver

If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next five year
period the average will be nearly 49,

will be much higher than in the pre-
vious period. This indicates a pros
porous future for the cotton producer
