War Reduced
Demand for Cotton

In view of the dominating position
of the United States, both as a pro-
ducer and consumer of raw cotton, it
seems worth while to review its in
dustry rs affected by recent events.
Before the war the supply Of spinable
cotton (not including linters) averaged
about 13,620,000 bales of 500 pounds
net weight. The average the first two
years of the war was 10,123,000 bales,
3,497,000 bales, or 25.7 per cent less
than the anti-war average.
The decrease in the supply was due
to number of causes. First, to the
utter decentralization of the industry
Immediately following the declaration
of war. All of the cotton exchanges
closed. During the three months they
were out of business spot cotton sold
as low as 81 cents in New Orleans,
and many Texas farmers disposed of
their crops at less than cents a
pound. Low prices continued through
out the marketing season of 1914-15,
and at its close the average realized by
the producer was little in excess of
IN cents, much below the cost of pro-
duction, and more than cents pound
less than was realized for the crop the

mated at 100000. The increase
IN the past ten months has been
S174,500000; in the past three years
S1,236,50 900, while in the past five
years it has been $1,161 ,333, 900. In
tve years the portion of the worlds
gold monetary stock held by the
United States has increased from
approximately one-ffth to more than
one third.
Accepting $4,000, 100000 as the
proper gold reserve of the world, it
may be calculated that at the begin
ming of the war the gold reserve was
80 per cent of the total debts of the
principal belligerents, while at pres
ent it is only about per cent.
When prices of labor and commodi-
ties are so advanced that it is not
possible for the majority of the gold
mines of the world to work at any
profit, then labor and supply prices
must become lower, or gold becomes
automatically demonetized Gold coins

man energy, as to obtain them labor

prosperity, but they are certificates

plishment.
"The electromotive force of the stor-
age battery cells depends not only on
the amount of the electricity poured
into them, but also upon its pressure
OF intensity. In electrical parlance,
the rate of flow is expressed in am
peres, the pressure in volts, and the
power in watts. In the gold cells filed
with human energy, the amperes can
be considered as the number of work
ers and the volts the forces and tools
placed at the disposal of the workers
by discovery, science and organization.
The watts may be considered the labor
force stored in the cell or coin. In
the mention of labor elements poured
into the cells, it must be understood
that labor should include the work of
managers, engineers, metallurgists,
chemists, overseers, mechanics and
other skilled workers, as we'll as the
more unskilled work Of drillers, tram
mers, shovellsrs, etc.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-02
The following table shows the pro-
ducton of gold by states in 1917:

AS to mining profits, Mr.. Jennings
states:
"All of the gold mining corporations
Of the United States do not make pub
lie their yields, costs or profits, as is
the case in the Transvaal. Our govern
ment does not make demand for such
information. Some Of the largest and
best managed, however, give most COM
plete and generous information, which
can be found in the transactions OF min,
ing societies, in mining journals and
handbooks. There would appear to be
no reason for secrecy in gold mining
world that does not face competition in
marketing its product.
"The richest and most easily acces-
sibe placer deposits in the United
States, as elsewhere, have long since
been worked out. Alaska is an excep-
ton, in that the discovery Of placer
gold there is Of comparatively recent
date and guarded by great climatic
difficulties. Placer mining on large
scale started in this country with the
discovery of gold in California, in 1848.
The appliances and methods used were.
first, the gold pan, followed by the
rocker, long tom and short sluice box
and subsequently by diverting water,
sHoVeHlHs anu "aoHA's SAosoi INV AVne
sluces and working on a large scale;
then drift mining, hydraulicking and
gold dredging.
ut has been estimated that an ordi-
nary pan holds about twenty pounds,
and that from forty-fve to one hun
dred pans a day is good days work.
With rocker, two cubic yards, or,
say, three tons, is q good days work.
The cost Of sluicc mining depends on
the charcter Of the material, amount
of water, grade Of the surface and eli
mate, but it may be said to vary from
20 cents to 81 yard in temperate
climates. In Alaska gravel is subject to
a preparative cost for thawing, amount
ing to 20 cents or more a cubic yard.
Drifting. or underground mining of a
thin stratum Of gravel and the adjacent
bedrock, varies in cost from 81 to So a
New-York tribune., 1918-06-02
cubic yard, and in Alaska as high as

cubic yard, and in Alaska as high as
from S4 to SIS.
"Hydraulic mining or the concentar
tion of water under great pressure on
banks Of gravel, with provision for the
removal of the washed material and
the removal of gold varies from 211
to IL cents per cubic yard, costs in
Alaska up to 25 cents. Gold dredging
was instituted to work gravel deposits
that could not be economically worked
by other methods. 1t can be successful
ly employed only when great number
of favorable conditions exist, in which
case remarkably low costs rule, rang
ing from to cents in California and
up to 33 cents or over in Alaska. Lode
or quartz mining in the United States
and Alaska produces rs per cent of the
output. For the world the percentage
is much larger. In South Africa prac
tically all the output is from this
source, and shafts as deep as 5000 feet
have been sunk on the Rand to de.
velop the conglomerate deposits.
In the United States lode mining has
been conducted in a great variety of
formations and the deposits vary from
narrow veins of banded quartz with
high per tor yield to great irregular
masses of low grade ore. The gold is
often associated with tellurium and
other minerals. When pay has given
out at shallow or moderate depths, ex-
plorations to depths of 400 feet or
over have very often been justified"
Mr.. Jennings, though an engineer,
does not limit himself to an examina-
gold. The economic facts interest him
equally. Regarding the gold standard,
he writes: "Almost all the countries
Of the world have as their financial
basis the gold standard. Only a few
retain the double standard of gold and
silver-Italy alone among the combat
ants. Prior to the war, while there
was freedom in trade and intercommu-
nication among the different countries,
the prices of various commodities were
regulated, both from within and with
supply, demand and competition, and
stabilized by intrinsic value of gold.
"The debts of the principal belliger-
ents at the time of their entering the
war, and those contracted since their
entrance, as also an estimation of
further debts a year, illustrate the
danger Of the worlds financial situa-
ton.
Taking into consideration the num-
Der of combatants and the necessary
munitions and supplies used by them,
it is evident that the Central Powers
are getting far more value for their
debts contracted than the Allies.
"ln respect to the stock of gold on
hand in the world and the amount held
by the United States, used as money
and security, the following quotation

tary of the Treasury. 1917, page "a:

States on November l, 1917, Is es.i-
New-York tribune., 1918-06-02
Mexico the Most
Importanat Source

"Russa's gold statistics are open to
doubt. 1t would appear that gold has
been worked in the Ural district since
1920 and that in the last twelve or
thirteen years outputs have varied
from $35, 100000 to s22,00O,o0o a year.
Some engineers express the belief that
Siberia has greater possibilities for
future discovery and exploitation of
gold, as also of other metals, than any
in view of war and industrial condi-
tions, the prospect of large outputs of
gold in the immediate future is uncer-
tain.
"Of these fields, Mexico is the most
important. The revival of gold mining
commenced with very small output
in 1890, and the maximum production
was reached in 1911, with an output
Of $29 100000. Owing to revolution in
that country, the output in 1916
dropped to S7,690,707, which was
million dollars increase over 1915;
When the country is in better political
and economic condition there is good
ground for hoping for increased re-
turns. In other sections of Central
and South America the outputs have
not been large, but there yet remain
large stretches of unexploited terri
tory and abandoned properties which
may be found profitable to work.
"The total output in the Transvaal
from 1887 to 1916 was about $780,
100000. The yearly return for 1916
was about s1S5,oO0,Ooo which was 40
per cent of the worlds output for that
year. The dividends amounted to "a
per cent for the whole period, but
only 1876 per cent for the years 1915
and 1915. 1t would seem that the
Transvaal fields have reached their
maximum output and are on the down
grade"
Mr. Jennings then points out that the
total production in the United States
from 1892 to 1915 was valued at
s3,s2s,957,2O0 "The YIELD" he con-
tinues, cup to 1s47 was from the East
ern coast; from 1S4S up to 1872, large
ly from placer mining in the West,
and from 1873 to date, by combination
Of placer and lode mining and the re-
covery of gold from rohneries Gold
dredging in the United States dates
only from 1896, and since that date
the production of gold has been esti-
mated at s12o,1Os,117. In 1916 the
greatest amount Of placer mining, in
Guiding dredging. was done in Alaska,
where over 60 per cent OF the gold
was thus recovered, and in California,
where 50 per cent was recovered"

cent. This decrease was due mainly
to the shortage in the supply from
three countries, the United States,
East India, and Egypt, that for the
United States being 2,7s7,ooo bales,
East India 7610Oo, and Egypt 431, 900.
The decrease in Brazil, Mexico, Peru
and China aggregated $4,000 bales,
while in all other countries except
Russia the average production for
each period was about the same.
Asiatic Russia showed an increase Of
425,000 bales, which was due to the
fact that several of the crops i'm
mediately preceding the war were
much below the average, that of 1912
'13 being extremely light.
The worlds consumption of cotton
prior to the war averaged about 21,-
$4,000 bales, as compared with an av-
erage of 20,595, 900 bales consumed the
first two years of the war, a falling
off on account of the war of 1885, 900
bales. The countries Of Continental
Europe showed a decrease of ,634 900
bales, Great Britain 500 and East
India $4,000. The United States in
creased it's consumption by $4,000
bales, Japan by 264,000, Canada $4,000
and all other countries $1,000 The
worlds production for the two years
following the declaration of war av-
eragcd 18,0S0,00O bales, and the aver
age consumption for the same years
was 20,595,000 bales, the quantity con-
sumed exceeding the supply by 2,515,-
600 bales. This deficit was made up
from the enormous crops of 1914. Dur
ing the two periods under consdera-
ton the worlds spindles increased
from 143, 3,98s,Ooo to 1888, 900, frac-
tion more than 100000, or about
per cent.
