Cotton Mill Consumption
Expected TO Rise Sharply
By the Associated Press.

-s'eA$e N1ocSNAcSCA COS.
The Agriculture Department said
today domestic cotton mill con-
sumption was expected to continue
exceptionally large during the next
few months.
Even with record consumption,
however. the department. added, re-
stricted exports may reduce domes-
tic disappearance of cotton to a
level much below average.
Exports Of raw cotton, the de-
partment said, are likely to be the
smallest since the Civil War if Great
Britain is able to maintain its
blockade of Continental Europe.
Present prospects for domestic
consumption and exports indicate an
increase in the domestic carry-over
at the end of the current season,
but the department said it should
remain materially below the record
carry-over of August l, 1899.
Last season the carry-over was re-
duced nearly 100000 bales.
Discussing the domestic outlook,
the department said sales of cotton
textiles by American manufacturers
have been below production during
the last several weeks.
unless developments in the Euro
pean war adversely affect domestic
business sentiment, manufacturers
sales are expected to improve with
in the next few weeks" the depart
ment said.
Factors expected to strengthen the
demand for domestically produced
cotton goods were said to include
large Government purchases for de-
tense and relief, expansion of the
export subsidy program for cotton
textiles and increased incomes of
domestic consumers.
