COTTON ESTIMATE READY
World, Except Italy and England,
Needs 12,518,122 Bales.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Estimates by Amer
team consuls throughout the world of the
number Of 40 pound bales of cotton re-
ouired TO supply foreign countries. except
Itsl> and England. for manufacturing pur-
noses before September I. 1912, place the
number at 12,51sll2.
sthe information was called for by the
Governor of Texas. who wanted II TO lay
before the conference Of Governors in New
Orleans. In the case Of Italy, the consul
general az Genoa, through a misunderstand-
ing. gave estimates for the amount OF
american cotton demanded. The United
states has been furnishing about 20 per
cent of the cotton consumed i'm Italy, which
would indicate d total demand for that
country next year Of 10000 bales.
The estimates for England (2,S4.5l2 bales
represents the consumption Of American
oatten up 10 September ] last. America
Usually supplies about 50 per cent Of Eng
lands usual demand.
q With the addition or italy and England
the amount would be approximately 15.-
gry.1Io bales. n the American consumption
were the same as that I'm 1910 the total
amount Of cotton needed during this cotton
year would be about 9p,Oo00OO bales, com
pared with lS3-l,OJ bales consumed by
mills throughout the world in 1910.
1T is pointed out however, that the state
Departments estimate OF the needs OF
Clnna ,o.9o1OOo bales probably includes Il
lslgo quantity OF cotton consumed by hand
looms which is not taken into account in
