FUTURE OF COTTON.
Slow Increase of Acreage and Rapid
Growth of Consumption.

The United States in the crop year of
1908 added more than million spin
dies to its consuming capacity, although
it took nearly half million less bales
OF cotton for consumption than in the
year before. This tendency throughout
the cotton textile world of spindleage to
run ahead of actual consumption has
been feature of the trade for the great
er part of the past two years. Out of
this relation is developing a condition in
the industrial world which is giving no
little concern to interests that had been
counting on a revival of the trade de-
mand long before the beginning of the
cotton planting season in the Southern
States for 1909.
Comparison of the sources of supply
of spinable cotton with the mill takings
by countries shows the two aspects of
the problem from the points of view of
producer and consumer. The produc-
ton figures for raw cotton in percentages
below are for the crop year ended with
Aug. 81, 1908, as are also the consump-
ton figures:

KILLED AT BoGoTA
Difficulty Arose at House Of Mrs.
Graham, Handsome Widow.

Dyersburg, Tenn, March 21. Viii
liam Kirby, aged 60 years, farmer,
living at Bogota, this county, died early
this morning from the effects OF a pistol
shot wound received at o'clock Satur-
day afternoon in a difficulty with Phil
HaIford, foreman of the Mengel box fac
tory at that place.
The difficulty is supposed to have
arisen over the affections of Mrs. Gra-
ham, a handsome widow of 45, at whose
home the men met shortly before the
shooting. Halford, who is 40 and mar-
ried, claims that he thought Che old
man was preparing to shoot him when
he (Halford) fired the fatal shot from a
Al deringer, which he carried in his
vest pocket Halford was arres "a soon
after the shooting by Constable Roberts
and brought to Dyersburg, where he
was released on bond of 81 600, pend
ing a preliminary hearing of the case
before Justice William Carver Tuesday
at Bogota.
Halford is married man and has
wife and three children at Trimble,
Tenn. Mrs. f9iraaaima@ firSahaima the innocent
cause of the slooting, and her daugh-
ter, who is 25 ,oors old, are almost
prostrated over til affair, which they
say they Were poyerless to prevent.
The wound fro>n, whic.. Kirby died was
single shot in the clhas, near the neck,
which pierced the lung Kirby was a
widower, and came from Carroll County
about two years ago to make his home
at Bogota, There is much excitement
in the community over the affair, and
public sentiment is naturally with the
dead man.

=
From the above table it is apparen
that the demand for cotton fiber is mucI
more widely distributed in the world'I
trade, considered geographically, thar
is the supply. Six different countries
make up nearly all of the areas which
have any significance in the production
of raw cotton, while twice as many po-
litical groups are concerned in the regu-
larity and abundance of yield for their
manufacturing industries.
Yet the production and the consump-
ton of cotton occupy very different
position SO far as development goes.
Producing countries enlarge their acre
age much more slowly than consuming
countries add to their spinning capacity.
AS the East and the Mediterranean
countries, and such rapidly developing
powers as Mexico take to manufactur-
ing for their own domestic needs as we'll
as for exports, some succeed in enlarg-
ing their cotton acreage, but not cores
pondingly.
1t is this difference in the tendencies
of agriculture and manufacture that
presents to the cotton world a problem
of much more vital significance than
the ordinary observer is inclined to give
to it. At home, where we consume
about 40 per cent. of the crop we grow,
the future does not weigh upon us with
such concern as the German, the French
or even the British, who put capital into
colonial cotton ventures, give to it.
Last year the worlds consumption of
American cotton was conservatively es-
even on three-fourths of the
maximum capacity of the mills, at ap-
proximately 12,5O0,O00 bales. And
that was in the face of a crop of little
more than 100000 bales of 500
pounds each.
The potential consumption of the
worlds cotton mills, with their increas-
ed spindleage of the past eight or nine
years is not now less than 81, 900, ,000I
bales. The demand has meanwhile ad-
ranced 24.2 per cent. Mill building
goes on steadily; acreage is stationery
Or nearly so. 1t must be evident that
he present dullness in manufacturing
demand, in which American spot cotton
on either side of the Atlantic

Steel Corporation Number Two.

The report of the prospective organi-
zation of second great steel corpora
ton with capitalization of $500, ,000,-
600 will be received with mingled senti-
ments by the American public. In the
feeling which it evokes there will be
much less of fear than was called forth
by the formation of the United States
Steel Corporation in 1901, for the Amer
ican public has learned much since that
time and the corporation men have had
their lessons, too. It's far cry from
Charlie" Schwab to Judge Gary, and
the present policy of the corporation
shows a recognition of the moral rights
of the public of which the earlier years
gave no promise. We have learned that
America need never have another Stand
ard Oil Company and that even large
corporations may be controlled.
The man in the street" will be apt
to rejoice somewhat over the organiza-
ton of corporation large enough to
give the United States Steel people "a
run for their money" 1t is an illus
tration of the irony of circumstances
that to the popular Imagination two big
consultations seem collectively less
evil than one. We feel instinctively
that the appearance of the second in
PRODUCES the hallowed principle of COM
petition, and that they will destroy each
other, like the gods brought face to face
in the Pantheon at Rome. That the
competitive element is likely to enter
largely into the relations of two con-
solicitations dependent on t the same
sources of strength and menaced by
the same dangers has yet to be demon
strated, There is a possibility that in
stead of fighting, they may be found
singing together the old hymn:
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part
It gives us inward pain,
But we shall still be joined in heart
And hope to meet again.
A matter which should be looked to
by investors is the relation between the
capital stock and bonds and the actual
value of the component properties.
When the Steel Corporation was formed,
even man of the bullet-proof corpor-
alton orthodoxy of Charles S. Gleed |
could not forbear to point out, in an
article in The Cosmopolitan, the wide
disparity between the par value of the
whole and the actual values of the prop
critics consolidated. This is thing that
will eventually right itself, but it will
oe at the cost of great loss to innocent
investors, unless there be some con-
science and honesty operative at the
start. We await further details with
interest. st. Louis Republic.

Wait for Attack
With childlike optimism insurgents
of the Nicaragua east coast, excepting
the leaders, still await an attack
against the point where the attackers
stand the least chance of success
namely, the fortitications at Rama.
Rama Is sixty miles west of Bluetields,
at the juncture of the Rama and Es-
condido rivers. The attack has been
predicted daily for fortnight ana
there now seems reason to belleVe
there will be no battle there.
The Zelayan generals displayed a
pretty piece of strategy in front or
Rama. The sick and half sick al
lowed themselves to be seen by out
posts and Estradas spies were guile
fully led to expect an attack at any
hour
This kept the main body of provis-
ionals behind their breastworks, leaY-
ing Zelayan troops to work out their
destiny in another direction unham-
pered. 1t was said by miners who
had tramped the country that they
could cut a road through the bush at
the rate of a mile or two day to-
ward Bluefields.
The first intimation that Estrada
feared such a movement scame early
this week, when the provisional pres
ident refused to allow the Bluehelds
Fruit company's steamer Mareitte di
Giorgio to proceed up the Escondido
river on her regular trip for bananas
at Rama.
He feared a plot whereby Vasquez
would seize the steamer somewhere
along the river and descend on Blue
fields, seizing the all important custom

with funds, cutting Estrada off from
