nearly seven fold. Exports to Japan
are noteworthy because OF the re-
markable variations in the quaint
ties Of the different years. as we'll as
for the growth In these exports since
which they are presented in the re-
port. In 1906 they amounted 10 262-
2s3 bales, while for 1904 they were
336.5T5 bales. The exports to Russia
decreased, a fact which may be par
italy explained by the increased
production OF cotton in Russian ter
ritory by the importation of Persian
cotton and by the recent unsettled
conditions in that country.
Exports Of sea island cotton form
ed about one-third of the $3.50
bales reported by the g%inners as pro-
duced in 1906. In 1905 about SO per
cent of the sea island crop was ex-
ported. The United Kingdom takes
about three-fourths OF the amount ex
ported. while most of the remainder
goes to France.
Warehouses Have 20 Per Cent OF

OF the 1,5l4,567 bales of cotton
remaining in the United States on
August 81 last, 1,016.73S bales, OF
81 per cen were in the actual pos
session of manufacturers; 3SS.919
bales, or &c per cent in Independent
warehouses and congresses; 54.59G
in the possession of transportation
companies; 40,0SS in the possession
OF merchants, buyers, ginners and
cotton seed oil mills; and 14,226
bales in the actual possession of pro-
ducers.
The relatively large quantity of
cotton III warehouses is an indica-
tor of a gratifying tendency toward
greater care in handling this staple.
In the past large quantities of cotton
have been lost through carelessness
and neglect; but the increased value
of cotton. resulting from the fact
that the supply has not kept
pace with the growth in demand has
a tendency to correct this evil.
