BRITISH COTTON MAN
SEES WORLD DEMAND

NEW YORK, April IA. w Nc
Connell, chairman of the British Fine
Spinners' Association, declares that
before many months are past the
world will again be calling for cotton
and that year by year for many
years yet to come increasing quanti-
ties will be Required.
Mr.. Mcconnell says that despite the
four years of war, he doubts IL tho
capacity of any of the countries to
buy cotton has been materially lesS-
ened by hostilities.
The proper basis of price for cotton
has yet to be found he writes in the
Manchester Guardian, and this is go-
ing to take some time to solve. He
points out, however, when prices
dence to buyers. thai the power to
purchase will exist.
The British cotton interest believes
that the need of the world for cotton
goods will in the near future grow
much more rapidly that ii will be
possible to increase the growing Of
cotton.
Restoration OF confidence. harvest
ing of all crops, mining enterprises.
new developments of every kind, he
says, all unite to increase the dems nj
for cotton. Increase in the supply OF
cotton depends solely and entirely on
finding fresh Gotten fields and i'm
proving its output. 1t is really
match. he explains. between progress
OF all kinds and one single vegetable.
