Cotton Is
Used By Mills

The Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond, in its December report,
laid the consumption of cotton by
textile mills in the Carolinas and
Virginia showed a marked increase
during the last four months of
1892.
Although cotton consumption
for the year was Al per cent be-
low 1881, and 20.9 per cent below
