WORLDS COTTON TRADE

saturday Evening Postl: For two
years American cotton has ruled above
IA cents pound. In the last crop year,
ending August 81, the average was 1412
cents, compared with 91a cents three
years ago. The high price curtailed con-
sumption somewhat except in England.
Last year British mills, working on IA
cent cotton, used within 10000 bales as
much as two years before, when the price
was about cents; but american mills
used 100000 bales less. The year be-
fore-the first 14-cent year-English con-
sumption decreased quite as much as our
own; but last year English mills regained
nearly all of this lost ground, while oul
own mills lost little more.
When we seek an explanation the most
obvious fact is that our exports of cotton
goods, meager even in 1909. dwndled still
further when the price of the raw mate
rial advanced; while English exports of
cotton goods in the crop year ending

August 81 last were greater than in 1908
by nearly a billion yards. We read:
Great Britain's cotton goods trade with
foreign countries has increased to a quite
Satisfactory extent during the year Ship
ments in almost all directions have been
larger than in 1909-1910.'
AS to why England can sell the world
goods made from 14-cent cotton while
we cannot, the following from a British
review of the year may be suggestive:
Though high prices for the raw mate
rial proved prohibitive to the trade in
the Coarser counts of yarns, the effect
upon the finer trade was much less
marked. Statistics compiled by the Man
chester Guardian prove that year by year
there has been distinct movement in
favor of the higher grade piece goods.
1t shows that the increasing attention
paid by Great Britain to scientific pro-
cesses is making her competitive ability
in foreign markets more formidable than
ever"

In the New Dixie Land that is be-

the development of cotton growing, El
Centre is destined to take a prominent
part. This city now has the only cotton
seed oil mill in the entire West and the
prospects are that it will soon have a
cotton seed oil refinery, so that the val
ley Oil may be put in condition right
at home for placing on any market.
j. B. Dale, president of the Imperial
Valley Oil and Cotton Company, has
come from Dallas, Texas, to make a
general inspection of the situation and
to plan for further improvements in the
local plant He is also president of the
Ell Paso Oil Refining Company, and read
lily sees the advantage that would accrue
to Imperial valleys cotton industry were
it in a position to have the oil refined
right here instead of sen.lng it out in
the crude form.
Within a few days an oil refining eX
pert will come from the Texas refineries
to confer with Mr.. Dale and the other
directors in regard to the location of a
refinery at Ell Centre in connection with
the local plant This addition would
give employment to several more heads
of families and would be a welcome addi-
ton to one of the valleys most impor-
