THE PLAY LAST EVENING.

1.-The Little PrOspectOr," given at the Vance Auditorium, last evening, was a play of real merit and was full of wholesome comedy, and the appoint ments and scenery were very goOod. "Chic" Perkins, in the leading role was pleasing in his correct impersonation of The Little Prospector and was well supported by a good caste.
 On the whole, the play is a western comedy drama and there was a clever blending of pathos and romance throughout the four acts. The sale of seats was very large and the company was greeted with a good audience.

CONSUMPTION EXCEEDS PRO-
 DUCTION.

SSttSffs
 The worlds production of cotton for mill consumption in 1907 amounted to 16.512,1S5 bales. whereas the con- sumption during the year ending Au- gust 31. 1908, was 1S,S55,519 bales. a fact which indicates that the years growth was inadequate to the re- quirements by about 2.34O,O00 bales. This shortage was made good by drawing from accumulated stocks. The fluctuations in the worlds supply of cotton is measured practically by the variations in the annual produc- tion in the United States, since this country furnishes about two-thirds of the total supply. It is a proper infer ence, and indeed a significant fact, that. notwithstanding the large amount of short time" work in the cotton manufacturing industry during the year, the worlds consumption of American cotton amounted to approx imately 12,500,OOO bales. whereas the production in this country in 1907 was only about 11.000,000 bales of 500 pounds each. net weight. If the con- sumption of cotton during the year ending August 31, 1909, should be equal to that of 1908, the United States must contribute at least 12,50O 900 bales to prevent further decrease in stocks. The consumption of cotton in the warld during 1908. however, be- cause of the large amount of short time.' represents probably not more than three-fourths of the maximum capacity of the mills, and, if this be true, the potential consumption is about 21.000.000 bales. But perfect conditions for the industry will hard ly prevail throughout all the countries in any one year. and under normal conditions it would appear that the consumption might be conservatively estimated at 20,000,000 bales. The share of this amount that the United States would be expected to contrib ute is about 13.000,000 bales.

PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY RE- PORTS CHECK EACH OTHER.

The plan of collecting reports of cotton production through the ginners has proved to be not only reliable but also valuable, for it enables a segregation with regard to the year of growth, and the locality where grown, not possible under other sys- tems; furthermore reports of produc- tion collected in this way, showing the crop of the preceding year. are issued as early as April 1. a saving in time of some five months over the commercial system, through which full reports can not be secured until after August 31, the close of the commercial year. The report on the supply and distribution of cotton is tion. and thus each becomes a check on the accuracy of the other. The segregation of stocks at the end of the year made possible under this system is unique and desirable. as it shows the quantity of cotton in the possession of each general class of holders and affords trustworthy in formation as to the present available supply.

by the decrease in the consumption of raw cotton and the reduced prices for the raw material compared with the activity and highly remunerative i operations of the previous season. The consumption of foreign grown cotton included in these statistics amounts to 111,571 bales, of which 5.4S5 were consumed in the cotton growing states and 106,0S6 in all other states.
 Of the total quantity. of foreign cotton consumed in the United States 92,S15 bales were Egyptian, 12.061 Peruvian, and 6,405 Indian. The quantity of sea-island cotton includ- ed in the consumption statistics amounts to 44,147 bales, 3.155 of which were consumed in the cotton growing states and 40,992 elsewhere. This consumption of sea-island cot ton represented about 30 per cent of the quantity produced in 1907. CONSUMED OUTSIDE OF COTTON
 MILLS.
 It is shown that of the total con- sumption of cotton, amounting to 4,539, 900 bales, 4,339,450 bales were consumed in mills reporting cotton spindles, 23,205 bales in woolen mills having cotton spindles, and 1S.6S2 bales in knitting establishments which reported no cotton spindles. In establishments engaged in the manu- facture of bedding, mattresses, etc, 9S,3S1 bales were consumed. A large percentage of the raw cotton con- stunned in bedding and mattress man. ufacturing establishments is linter cotton, the short fiber saved by the cottonseed oil mills in reginning cot tonseed before extracting the oil This short fiber is also used to some extent in the manufacturer of cheap yarns, rope, twine, felt hats, weather strips. in mixing shoddy, and for up- holstering purposes.
 STOCKS.
 The total quantity of cotton left in the country on August 31, 1908, amounted to 1,236,05S bales, -compar- ed with 1,514,567 in 1907, a reduction of 27S,509 bales. or IS per cent. Stocks held by manufacturers at the close of the year amounted to 594,1S4 bales, compared with 1.016.79s bales for 1907, a decrease of 422,554 bales, or 42 per cent. The manufacturers in the cotton growing states held 112,- All bales, compared with 311,307 last year, while those in all other states held 4S1.713 bales, compared with 705,431 last year.
 EXPORTS.
 The quantity of domestic cotton exported from the United States in 1908 amounted to 7,573,349 running bales. which is a decrease from the quantity exported in 1907 of 929.916 bales. The quantity of sea-island cotton included in the exports for
Arizona republican., 1908-11-10

1908 amounted to 12.793,166 pounds, or 25,5S6 bales of 800 pounds each. About 70 per cent of this export was taken by the United Kingdom and about 2S per cent by France.
 The annual exports of manufac- lures of cotton are subject to wide fluctuations, those for 1908 amount ing to $25.177,75S in value, or less than one-half of the value of those of 1906, which amounted to $52.944.- O33 in value. This reduction is due entirely to the falling off of the ex- ports to China, the value of which dropped from $29,S14,075 in 1906 to s3,413,24S in 1908, and this fact strik- ingly illustrates the necessity for a wider range of markets for Ameri- can manufacturers.
 WORLDS STATUS OF THE. IN
 DUSTRY.
 The second part of the bulletin gives a summary of the present status of cotton manufacturing throughout the world. The number of cotton spindles in 1908 is given as 130.054,40S spindles, compared with 105,661,232 spindles in 1900; the con- sumption of cotton in 1908 as 1S,- S55.519 bales, compared with 15,1S5,- 165 bales in 1900 The number of spindles has increased g per cent in the eight years and the consumption of cotton A per cent.
 SHORT TIME WORKED.
 The financial depression in the fall of 1907 had a far reaching influence upon the cotton manufacturing in dustry, beginning with the manufac- turer, who first felt the tendency to curtail expenditures beyond absolute necessity, and slowly but surely working it's way down to the spinner, thence to those interested in the sale and distribution of the raw material. The market for cotton goods during the last six months of the season was in a condition of over supply, in spite of the considerable amount of short time that had been worked, and producers were consequently at a disadvantage in selling the output of their mills. While these conditions prevailed during the latter part of the season in practically all of the manufacturing coutries, they were es- pecially marked in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. where there was a considerable cur tailment of production. Following upon the financial depression. a crisis of labor trouble occurred in Man. chester in December last. The aver age time during the year that the mills ofthe United States were idle is stated as 66 days. A Il of the mills in the Manchester district, England. worked on short time dur ing the last few months of the sea son. but few shut down. the actual time operated averaging about 45
