dies come into operation in the mills
in Central Europe, England and the
Orient.
England is taking approximately
81 per cent or the largest share of
American cotton going abroad. Ger
many is buying approximately II per
cent and France Is per cent Early
in the year Germany bought at nearly
the same rate as England and far
more than France.
Japan is gradually becoming a
larger purchaser of American raw
cotton and is now using about 10 per
cent of all exports from the United
States. Italian mills take about 8
FER cent. The Chinese demand for
American cotton is not equal to that
of Japan and is now declining. The
decline, however. is regarded as tenn
porary and due to internal dis
turbances.
Foreign buyers also are making
work for American cotton textile
mills at an increasing rate. Nearly
400, 900 900 yards of cotton cloth have
moved abroad thus far this year, or
nearly 20 per cent more than in the
same period of 1921.

Electric Companies Growth

Chicago, Oct. 10-The addition of
nearly one and quarter million new
customers by electric light and pow
Ell companies during last year despite
the industrial depression indicates
the rapid strides of that industry, ac-
ccrding to the National Commission
on Public Utilities.
A survey completed by the commits
sion showed that five states, Illinois,
Indiana. Michigan, Wisconsin and
Ohio-have 2,S50,000 light and power
customers, 26 per cent of the total
number in the country. Illinois pos
sesses more electric lighted homes
than any other state in the country.
California is far ahead in the num-
Der OF industrial power customers
with $4,000, about one-sixth Of the
total for the nation, the survey shows.
That state also showed the largest
gain in power users, 6,400 being ad-
ded during last year. Illinois ranks
second in this list, Pennsylvania third
and Ohio fourth. New York, the
leading manufacturing state, is fifth.

during the siX-year period from 1916.
The largest yearly growth was in
1919, when 44,557 new industrial
customers were added. While power
customers are only about five per
cent of the number of residential
customers. the power customers use
much more electrical energy. accord

the nearest previously known Giobular

II exports of the staple continue at

More than 100000 bales of raw
cotton. including linters, were shipped
from the United States from January
to September. inclusive. the official
reports show.
The average export price Of raw
cotton thus far this year has ranged
from 800 to $110 bale. This is a
big advance over 1921 when the price
range was from s55 to 500 At the
1922 range, foreign buyers will pay
the United States approximately
$500, 900, 900 this year. The total may
run much higher since cotton prices
are gradually increasing.

Clothing Distribution
Merits Investigation
Say Wool Growers

1.-THE extraordinary spread between
price the producer of raw material
receives and the price the consumer
is forced to pay the final distributor
and the method and capacity for
pyramidng profits, clothing dis
tributors have disclosed, place a ire
mendous burden on the consuming
public and it so restricts or wipes out
the profits of the producers of raw
material as to seriously threaten the
very foundation of our economic
structure" said j. B Wilson, Vice
President and Secretary of the Ma
tional Sheep & Wool Bureau of
America, in commenting on the op-
position of clothiers to the wool
schedule in the McCumber- Fordney
tariff. Continuing. Mr.. Wilson said:
without regard to whether or not
there is a protective tariff, there must
be relief from this pyramiding of
profits disclosed by the clothing dis
tributors' threat to raise clothing
prices several dollars per suit.
"a dollar for labor will pyramid as
high and as fast as dollar for tariff
duty and if, because Of the pyramid
ing of profits disclosed by clothing
distributors, the sheep industry of
the United States is to be deprived
of protection, and is to be forced to
accept the low prices and wages of
the sheep industry outside of the
United States, there is nothing to
prevent the same pyramiding of
profits by clothing distributors being
made the excuse for forcing textile
workers to accept the low wages of
the textile workers of Europe"
Mr.. Wilson also emphasized the
statement that the sheep industry is
one Of the few essential industries of
the United States. He said: There
are many industries that are impor-
tant, there are a few that are absO-
lutely essential. One of these few
essential industries is the sheep in
Gustry of the United States"
natural facilities for wool growing.
All kinds of wool, even the finest, can
be produced here, and in great
quantities. When the United States
has protective tariff on wool that
really protects against foreign COM
petition, and when it is made COM
pulgory to identify shoddy, the sheep
industry of the United States will at
once develop and in a short time the
sheep population and the wool pro-
Guction of the United States will be
several times what it is today and an
abundance of virgin wool will be
grown in the United States to supply
all the needs of the people, and
prices will be equalized and stabil-
lied"
