426,663 BALES OF
COTTON CONSUMED
DURING NOVEMBER.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 14.-Of
more than usual interest in the census
bureau report on cotton consumed dur
ing November, isued today. Domestic
consumption of the South's staple ap-
parently has decreased but little as
compared with the corresponding
month last year, but exports have de-
creased noticeably. More than mill
lion bales were exported during No
vember of last year, while bales sent
abroad this year total on little more
than seventy-six thousand
The bureau reports shows that, ex-
elusive of linters 426,663 bales of cot
ton were consumed during the month
ending November 30th, and this COM
pares most favorably with consump-
tion during November, 1918, Of 456,356
bales.
Manufacturing establishments with
in the United States had stocks on
hand November 30th, amounting to l.
1,060,765 bales, comparing with stocks
of 1,426,63S on November Both, 1918. In
independent warehouses 5,00S,374 bales
were stored on November 30th, com
pared to 3,262,719 last year.
Exports during November reached a
total of 1929 bales, compared with
1901, ,259 during the corresponding pc
riod.
Analysed by the cotton trade, the
census bureaus report indicates in
creasing prosperity in the export cot
ton trade and lack of interest by
American mills. The small stocks
carried by domestic consumers at this
season indicates small preparation for
heavy export business, now generally
believed to be awaiting American man
ufacturers who grasp the opportunity
of enlarging their business by selling
South American and other countries
formerly customers of Continental and
English spinners.
Stocks carried in independent ware
houses reflect the holding movement
prevalent in the South, as we'll as the
effect of the .s195, 900 900 cotton loan
pool and should have the effect of
stiffening prices for spot cotton. These
stocks show an increase of nearly two
million bales, compared with the cor
responding period last year.

DEPARTMENTS WARNING.
Officials Deny knowledge of Adver
tised Remedy for Hog Cholera.

Warning to the farmers and the hog
raisers of the United States has just been
issued by the Department of Agriculture
on account of new patent medicine which
is being largely advertised as a cure for
hog cholera. There is being a widespread
campaign made in behalf of this medicine,
and the point which particularly interest
ed the Department of Agriculture is the
fact that the advertisements and letters
are so worded as to convey the impression
that the medicine has been Investigated
and recommended by the federal govern
ment. The department states in it's cir
culars just issued that it has had nothing
to do with the cholera medicine in ques-
ton. and has made no investigation of
its properties. and has heard nothing
about it except one letter evidently writ
ten. unsolicited. by the proprietors from
some point in the north.
The department says that in certain
cases it recommends the protection of
hog herds from cholera by use of the
anti-cholera serum that the experts of the
department have developed. Further than
this it has no recommendations to make.
and warns farmers against accepting the
claim of any patent medicine proprietor
claiming to have a cure for hog cholera
