COTTON INDUSTRY
IN JAPAN SHOWS
Great INCREASE


Kobe, Sept. 27.-Although strenu-
Gus efforts have been made to figure
what the total Japan ese consumption
of cotton will be for the coming year,
no responsible business man will ven.
ture any authoritive prediction. The
most reliable authorities. however,
are of the opinion that should the
present conditions persist the total
consumption for the year beginning
August 1, 1890, will be about 1920
600 bales of 500 pounds each. The
consumption of American cotton
probably will be about 525. 900 bales.
Recent arrivals of machinery have
made the mills capable of producing
from 10 to Is per cent more than in
the past, and it is quite possible. it
is SAID that should conditions i'm
prove in the near future the consunp-
ton of American cotton may reach
should be borne in mind, however,
that there are now about 100000
bales of American cotton stored in
Japan and that in any case not more
during the coming year. 1t will
readily be understood, however, that
a division of estimated needs into two
periods of six months each would
amount to little more than conjec-
ture.
In recent years about three-fourths
of the annual importation of Ameri-
can cotton has been made during
and one-fourth during the second
half.
The inability to give any definite
figures is due to the fact that during
the early part of the present year.
after four years of Unprecedented
prosperity cotton prices have reach
ed incredible high levels and specu
lative ventures of all kinds were
daily being launched. The Govern
ment, fearing the consequences of
any further extension of credit, in
st. ructed the banks throughout the
country to restrict credits and call
in their loans as quickly as possible.
The effect of this policy upon the cot
standard yarn, which had been fluc-
tuating between 1912 and $3.50 per
bale, fell within a few days to S143
per bale.
Yarn merchants who had contract
ed with the mills for future deliver
les at the high prices prevailing ear
lier in the year, found themselves IN
able to meet their obligations and
consequently some of the smaller
Understandable to stand the losses

contracts for deliveries extending to
we'll into 1921. Negotiations which
have been under way for some
months between the Japan Cotton

HOTTEST WEATHER

With the thermometer registering
the highest since 1881 for September,
Bridgeport is today experiencing the
sixth day of the unprecedented heat

be followed by a storm. One of the
remarkab BILE features of the hot spell
have been the extremely heavy fogs

hampered at New York.
Locally, it was like the return of
summer, soda fountains and saloons
