BALTIMORE, January 17.-Approxi-
mately $4,000. 900 for construction work
is involved In initial development OF
water powers in the Savannah River
by consolidation of three companies,
announced in this weeks issue OF the
Manufacturers Record, which on tina
point says:
This construction work will include
the building of dams and power
houses. machinery and equipment and
transmission lines. and the expendi-
lures will be divided as follows:
"Greegs Shoals. $4,000; Cherokee
900, and Hatton's Shoals, 100000.
These four powers will be developed
at present for about 59OGD-horse pow
er, including 85.OOO-horse power at
Calhoun Falls. 1000 at Gregg's Shoals.
10000 at Cherokee Falls. and 10000

FABRICS FOR
CHINA MARKET
Americans Have More Reason to
Fear Japan Than
England.
THE "YELLoW" FABRIC PERIL
Light-Weight Goods Should Be
Made for South China-Ameri-
can sheeting Leads.

NEW YORK, January l9-Special Agent
W. A. Graham Clark reports that the
United States. having secured supremacy
in the demonstrating trade of China,
in order to extend the cotton-cloth mar
kets there, should take up the still larger
field of gray and white shlrtIngs. He
writes.
II have been struck by the fact that
America, while having large market In
cotton piece goods in China. completes
only on coarse. unfinished goods, and
drops out OF the race when the COMPETE
ton Is on fine or finished goods. On
drills and sheetinss we control; on gray
shirtings We compete to small extent;
but when 1t comes to white shirtings,
prints. sateens. Italians, hastings, fancy
woven cottons etc. the returns very
often do not specify the United States
but class us among other countries IN
fact. in general terms 1t may be said
that the United States completes abroad
in no cotton goods in which labor is an,
element.
ION coarse goods, such as heavy drills
and sheetings, 1t Is safe to say that the
raw material will be one-half to two
thirds the cost of manufactura-say, 60
per cent; labor WILL be probably 25 per
cent, and other expenses Is per cent. On
may not take more than 40 to 80 per
cent,-say, As per cent; labor 40 per
cent, and expenses Is per cent. In the
first case, where labor Is say. one-quar-
ter of the total cost OF manufacture, we
compete; In the second case. where the
labor item may be one-half of the total,
we fall behind.
EVEN though at a disadvantage as to
prices paid for labor, this labor has
gradually become more efficient, and with
the rapid multiplication In labor-saving
devices there Is no sound reason why
the American manufacturer should not
be able to compete on finer goods
The greatest single item of cotton
piece goods imported into China to-day
Is American sheetlng, and OF this the
great majority Is the standard 2S5 and
3-yard sheetings, IS by As, Sheetings, of
course. are always 36 inches wide and 40
yards long. The English cannot deliver
light-sized sheetings at price to Sc
rlously compete with the American pro-
duct. There is more reason to fear Jap
anese than English competition on this
line, because of the cheapness of their.
manufacturing costs and their lower
freight rates. But the Japanese cloth,
though sold much cheaper, Is of Inferior
quality and made of shorter stapled cot
ton and cannot equal the American,
brands. There have been some complaints
recently MS to the quality of some Ameri-
can brands deteriorating, but II our manu-
facturers are careful as to maintaining
the present standard they Will continue
| to control the sheeting market"
