COTTON ADVANCES.
At STEADY PACE.
Price Increase Accompanied
by Reduced Supply and
Carryover.

BY the Associated Press.
Cotton prices advanced with few
interruptions during the first eleven
months of the current marketing
season.
On June 80 they were about 3
cents per pound higher than in
August, 1898, the beginning of the
marketing season, and about cents
higher than a year ago in June.
The price advance has been ac-
companied by a decrease in the ap-
parent supply and carryover, an
increase in domestic consumption for
the first 10 months, and recent re-
ports of unfavorable crop conditions,
but with decreased exports and con-
sumption abroad
Total Supply Given.
The total supply of cotton in the
United States for the season
amounted to about 20,90O,00O bales,
composed of an August carryover
of 100000 bales and a crop of about
12,70O,O 900 bales.
From this supply to June l Ameri-
can mills consumed about 4,978,000
bales in the first 10 months, and eX-
porters took about 6,769, 900 bales,
leaving on hand an apparent supply
in the United States on, June of
about 100000 bales.
This apparent supply is about l.
100000 bales less than on the same
date year ago, and about 100000
bales less than on June l, 1882.
when there were 100000 bales in
the country.
Domestic consumption for the first
10 months compares with 4,839, 900
bales in the first 10 months last sea-
son. However, the disappearance of
cotton in the United States during
June and July is hardly expected to
equal the unusually large quantity
consumed in those two months last
year.
Exports Are Larger.
So far this season exports to Japan
and China, the largest customers,
have been about 250,000 bales larger
than a year ago, but total exports to
all countries are about 100000 bales
smaller. Total world consumption
August / to June l, amounted to
about IL SOC, 900 bales, compared with
II, 100000 last season.
AS result of anticipated slower
consumption here and abroad for the
rest of the season, present private re-
ports estimate the United States
carryover, August l, at only slightly
less than last seasons figure of $780,
coo bales. This carryover compares
with 100000 bales in 1882 and
6400,000 bales in 1881.
The official Government estimate of
acreage for 1884 will not be issued
until July 9, but private estimates
range from 2S,5OO,OOO to 3O,5OO,O
acres.
Crop prospects have been affected
by severe drought in Texas and too
much rain until recently in the
Southeast, where boil weevn inroadS

so principal exports failed to show
an increase in value as compared with
1888, when banking troubles and other
difficulties had forced business in the
United States to an extremely low
level.
In actual quantity shipments IL
out of SO principal exports, or 80 per
cent, showed gains that ranged up to
752 per cent for the quarter.
The greatest percentage increases
in quantity shipments were made by
steel rails-752 per cent-automo-
biles, tires, wheat, cotton, tobacco,
electrical machinery, typewriters, agrl-
cultural machinery, refrigerators,
crude petroleum products, wire, re-
fined copper, textile machinery, radio
sets. apples, metal working machinery,
heavy iron and steel and other
products.
Some of the gains, notably steel
rails, iron and steel scrap, wire, radio
sets and refrigerators, put exports at
above the five-year 1929-1933 average.
World Sales Rise.

show trade increased to all parts OF
the world. Europe, the United
States best customer, took 81 per
cent more American goods in the
first quarter than in the same period
in 1888. Africa took SO per cent more
and Oceania 81 per cent more. EX-
ports to South America increased Al
per cent.
War debts, tariffs, exchange re-
strictions, quotas and protective trade
agreements continued to interpose
barriers in the way of world trade
during the six months, however.
But Department of Commerce for
eign finance authorities noted one
encouraging sign, a growing tendency,
particularly in South America, to re-
lax exchange restrictions.

THE United States, worlds largest

in the first part of 1884, COM
L pared with the same period
of 1888, although confronted
by many difficulties in international
commerce not yet solved.
From January to April, inclusive,
the Department of Commerce reports,
total United States exports were

600 in 1888. Imports for the period
amounted to $5b7 100000, also gain
over the figure of $363,10o,000 for
1893.
DevaluatiOn a Factor.
Higher prices per unit of goods
sold contributed to the larger trade
figures rs measured in value. But
dollar devaluation, which made dol
lars cheaper in terms of foreign cur
rencies, is also considered a factor.
The Department of Commerce in
deX, adjusted for seasonal variations,
shows the actual quantities of goods
exported were 48 per cent of the 1928
25 average, compared with 20 per cent
last year Imports were 43 per cent
of the 1923-25 average, compared
with 81 per cent a year ago.
While total exports in April were
about 6 per cent less than March,
the change was seasonal, largely due
to tapering off of raw cotton ship

tinued to decline in May.

FARM AID ENTERS
PERMANENT PHASE
Loan Agency Provides Funds
at Rate of About Five
Millions a Day.
BY STEPHEN McDONOUGH,
Associated Press Writer.

After a year of experimentation, the
administrations farm program is
headed toward the permanent phase
of its drive to improve farm income,
retire poor land and bring production
into line with domestic consumption.
During the first half of the year
the Department Of Agriculture put
into operation the Jones-Costigan act
for curtailment of sugar production
in the United States and its island
possessions, instituted preliminary
work on the Bankhead act for limit
ing cotton production to 100000
bales and began taking options on
Submarginal farm land which it will
buy within a year.
Loans to Farmers.
Meanwhile, the Farm Credit Ad
ministration was at work lending
funds at the rate of about $5,000000
a day to refinance farm mortgage in
debtedness 1t had lent up to May 81
about $28,116,538 to production credit
associations, $143,092,796 to regional
agricultural credit corporations and
$9O,147,42 in emergency crop ad-
vances.
The drought was one of the gravest
problems the administration faced
during the first half of 1884. The
Nations output of wheat had been cut
by about 100000, 900 bushels and
other crops in proportion. The ad-
verse weather conditions caused Off
cials to reconsider their plans for
1885.
They announced the definition Of
crop control" under the adjustment
act might mean acreage expansion as
we'll as curtailment and that next
years plans might call for an increase
in production to provide necessary
surpluSes.
Ever Normal Granaries."
Secretary wallace, in this connec-
ton, mentioned the prospect of in
augurating a program of "ever-nor-
NAL granaries,' with commodities
stored on farms or nearby under Fed
eral loans which would protect farm
ers against loss of income and con-
sumers against food shortage.
Falm prices we're on the upgrade,
partly on the wings Of the drought,
and cash farm income in May showed
an approximate 80 per cent increase
over May, 1888. With benefit pay
mentS received by farmers for curtail-
