normal production again this year
The world entered the present cotton
season last August with a carry-over of
$40, 600 bales Of American cotton. Pro-
duction was only about 100000 bales.
this being the smallest crop in IS years
and about 40 per cent less than last sea-
son. This gives total supply of about
17,170,000 bales. With only two more
months to run, it is estimated that the
world consumption of American this sea-
son will be fully 12,500,e zoe, leaving a
carry-over next 9ugust of only 4,s70,000.
The South believes that this country
will not produce more than 100000
or 1000, 900 bales at the most this year.

supply newt season would be less than
200. 900 bales. Southern cotton inter
ests figure that American mills will re-
quire million bales more cotton next

rest of the world will take million
and a half bales additional. This would
raise the world consumption next season

and the new crop is only about 5000, 900
bales, this would leave only a slim margin

and consumption or closer approach to
cotton famine than the world has seen
