| Washington, November 6.-Estimates by
 American consuls throughout the world of too pound bales required to supply foreign countries except Italy and Eng land for manufacturing purposes before September 1, 1912, place the number at 12,518.112.
 The information was called for by the

 before the conference of governors in Ne" Orleans. In the case of Italy the consul general at Genoa. through a misunder-
 standing, gave estimates of the amount of American cotton demanded. The United States has been furnishing about 70 per cent of the cotton consumed in Italy. This would indicate a total demand for
 that country next year of about 7oo,W1
 bales. The estimates for England, 2,s34,6l. bales, represents the consumption .of American cotton up to September 1 last. America usually supplies about 30 per cent of Englards total demand. The departments information shows the tota1 fore,pn demands as follows:
