This large increase in the 1910 im.
portations from India occurred chiefly
in raw cotton, due largely TO the
high prices of cotton from the United
states. Japan draws largely upon the
United States for raw cotton though
in those years in which prices or
American cotton are exceptionally
high, the shorter s'apled and lower
priced cotton of India is drawn upon.
The quantity of raw cotton imported
into Japan from India in the s months
of 1910 was $50 million pounds. valued
al "A million dollars, against l67 mil
