Cotton Industry Studying Recent Changes

once, when. in year or two millions
of spindles have been added. The capa-
city of our cotton machinery making
shops stands in the way of any such
rapid expansion.
Transitory forays in foreign mar
kets to relieve passing distress in
we'll protected domestic market do
us more harm than good AS general
rule customer abandoned is Gus
toner lost for keeps.
So far the American overseas trade
in cotton manufactures has not Jared
badly, for the volume of outgo of cot
ton piece goods during the month of
June this year was 1902, compared with
100 for January of the same year.
The rate of wages is the factor which
will rule output prices in keen mar
,ket. From this point of view we are
not returning to the pre-war level as
rapidly as our English competitors.
The index for earnings and employ
ment in American cotton manufacture
ing stood at 1o4 in June last, as COM
pared with 100 as the average for the
year 1919, and while the English scale
of cotton mill wages had advanced
more than ours since 1914, being in
rate at the time the war broke out, a
reduction of so per cent was taken off
in that month and further reduction
Of 10 per cent. in July.
future event may be certain and
the time of it's occurrence matter
of conjecture This remark applies
with particular force to the in
transitional cotton industry. There
will come day in the not distant fu-
ture when the pressure for supplies
of cotton manufactures of all kinds
will be so great that recrudescence
of the Indian, Chinese and Lancashire
company promoter will be in evidence
when the demand for machinery and
the worlds makers Of them.
And, if America is to keep in the
near front of the international pro-
cession Of cotton goods producers she
must keep constant eye on the great
markets of to-day and the future.
These lie in the East. China has W.
limited potentialities and is building
mills to take care of small part
of her present requirements. The cot
ton trade is of paramount Importance
to that country, as may be gathered
from a recent remark by George e..
Sokolsky, chief of the Chinese Bureau
Of Information--a government insti-
tution-who, when speaking of the
present disturbed conoitioh OF Woriu
commerce, said:
'sThe situation has made itself felt
most strongly in the piece goods trade.

of the production of the mills of the
country is the last one available, hav-
ing been made public but few weeks
ago, that year is necessarily used in
the. comparison which follows.
The total production of woven cotton
cloth by the mills of the United States
during the twelve months of 1919 was
5,879, 191 900 square yards.
The exports of cloth IN the same
year were 6s3,o45,32s yards equal to
lis per cent of the production.
During the same period the imports
of cotton cloth were 49.753,451 yards,
which was eight-tenths OF per cent OF
the production.
The production of yarn for sale for
the year amounted to 625,071, 900
pounds
The yarn exported during the twelve
months was 20,699 900 pounds, or 1-3
per cent of the total output.
Yarn imports amounted to 1851 1868
pounds, being six-tenths of l per cent
of the weight of yarn spun for sale.
In other words there was sufficient
cloth exported during the year to keep
100000 spindles at work all the year
round, a number rather greater than
the total in the state of Rhode Island,
On the other hand, as the weight of

assume that some of these were SO
much finer than those exported that
the incoming fabrics would require
twice the number of spindles to pro-
duce given quantity as would be
needed to produce like yardage of
American exports, and that they would
weigh but half as much to the yard.
On this basis, if the imports had been
manufactured in domestic mills, they
would have kept 100000 spindles in
work during the year, about four
seventies of per cent of the total num-
Der of spindles in the country.
1t may be pointed out here that plain
goods form the bulk of the cotton
cloths exported by all manufacturing
countries and that SO per cent of the
total production of this country was
this class of fabric.

Po,cer of Expansion

The power of expansion implied in
these reserve requirements should be
considered in connection with the re-
serve requirements within the Federal
Reserve banks, themselves. A Federal
Reserve bank is required to keep min
imum of 40 per cent of gold as reserve
against Federal Reserve notes, and q
minimum of IS per cent of gold or law
ful money against deposits.
Gold, as far as the member banks are
concerned, has no power of expansion
until 1t is on deposit with Federal Re-
serve bank. Thus a deposit of 100000
OF gold in member bank merely counts
as a deposit and is not susceptible of
expansion until it is deposited in Fed
cral Reserve bank, when, on the aver
age, it will permit an increase of about
sl,l50,000 in the loans and deposits of
member bank. The expansion would
De very much greater than that, if it
were not for the fact that large part
q the deposits created at Federal
Reserve bank are drawn out again in
the form of Federal Reserve notes.

Federal Reserve banks show consider

Reserve notes outstanding as compared

light on the competitive efficiency, as
far as prices are concerned, during the
year 1918. They were calculated in
each instance at the current rate of
exchange and upon the average prices
of eight standard cotton gray cloths,
i. e., unblesched. And as these are for
all practical purposes Identical in con-
struction, no better means is avail
able of measuring ourselves against
competitors. Nor could fairer meth cd
be devised.
An analysis l have made of those
records for the year shows that Eng
in New York during the fifteen weeks
from January 2 to April 10. The
greatest difference of the period was
on January 16, when the English aver
age price was % per cent above the
American; the least spread was on
March 81 when the English price was
only per cent above New York. The
average for the sixteen weeks was 1911
per cent above. During the remaining
thirty-seven weeks of the year Eng
lish prices were below American; the
90, when New York was % per cent
above Manchester. On April "a the
American price showed the least vari-
alton from the English, or per cent.
The average that the American quota
tons were above those of England dur
ing the thirty-seven weeks was 1873
per cent
Similarly, and strangely, unless the
price of silver was the cause, Chinese

during the entire period by an average
of 45 per cent
Likewise the Indian market Cal

six "a per cent above; thereafter ir

difference, then eleven averaging 12.1
above, followed by one of no difference
and the last for the year at l per cent
below From all of which, viewed in
the light of American trade with these
markets during the year, many useful
lessons may be learned.
There is always this to be said when
the matter of our exports of cotton
goods is being considered, and it is
point seldom mentioned: the domestic
demand in ordinary circumstances so
nearly takes the total output of the
mills that only under pressure of Euro
pean makers being unable to supply
their customary quota, as was the case
during the war, is the export volume
likely to jump to abnormal figures
under the urge of particularly tempting
prices such as the home market re-
fuses to pay Trade stagnation at
home with prosperity prevailing in cot
ton goods. buying countries would pro-
duce like result temporarily This
country has never gone through boom

witnessed in Lancashire more than
