each year than it consumed the year
before.
HThe war tended to curtail not
only the growing Of cotton, but also
the spinning and weaving. The short
age in cotton goods must run into
large figures. During the war count
less people did without cotton cloth
Ing. This does not mean that a
clothing shortage extending over six
years can be compensated by in
creased distribution now that the war
is over. One Of the prime factors in
the present day equation is the inn
poverishment of the world. Trade
with both Russia and Germany has
amounted to little, and while the ca
pacity in general Of Central and

been averaging for the five years,
1ss5-99, 100000 bales, jumped 10
years later, or for the five years,
1904, to an average Of 1866, 900
bales. Production in other countries
also increased. The inference must
be accepted, therefore, that through
the increase in the worlds popuia-
ton and through the extension Of
consumption to new markets as well
as through the inclusion Of cotton
into new utilities, such as auto
mobile tires, the world required an
increase in its supply Of cotton. It
is stated on high authority that the
world in 1914 was in a position to
absorb in manufactured goods at
least 100000 bales Of cotton more
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1921-04-28

The world cotton acreage must
undergo a very marked expansion in
in the years to come if the supply of
raw cotton is to keep pace with the
worlds needs, Alfred P. Dennis.
American commercial attache at Lon
don, reported to the Department of
Commerce, after an exhaustive study
Of the worlds capacity for consume
ing cotton goods.
At the present time, he said, there
is a record carry-over of raw cotton.
Combined with this there is an i'm
mense amount Of under-production
in the chief cotton spinning eenters
of the world. There has been a
marked setback to the purchasing
power of the world in the amount Of
cotton goods and corresponding set
back to the production of cotton
1T is obvious" says Mr.. Dennis,
shat the world has emerged from
the war with a production capacity
of raw cotton considerably below its
requirements Considerably there
has been marked decline in the
output Of manufactured cotton stuffs,
that, in turn, being a reflection Of
reduced buying power in the great
cotton consuming centers Of the
world.
with a return of the world to
the normal state of economy, buying
will be resumed, idle and short-time
looms and spindles will be speeded up
and an insistent demand for raw ma
terial may be anticipated. Far
sighted representatives of the British
cotton trade are already agitating
the question of increasing the pro-
duction Of raw cotton within the EN-
pire.
ut seems established that the need
of the world for cotton goods within
the near future will grow more rap
idly than will the extension of cotton
producing areas. Increase in the
supply Of cotton depends very largely
on the finding of fresh cotton terri
tory and improving the strains of
existing known cottons.
