Cotton Consumption
Highest on Record
For November
B. A. {. Report Points
To Shorp Reduction
In Export Shipments
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomicS reported today that domestic
cotton consumption in November
was the highest on record for that
month. but pointed out that exports
were four-ifths lower than those a
year earlier.
Domestic consumption of raw cot
ton last month totaled TAO bales,
as against $4,000 bales in Novem-
adjusted index of consumption last
month touched an all-time high
which was 135 per cent of the 1885 80
average.
Total domestic consumption in the
first four months of the season was
2,009 900 bales, against 1850 900 bales
in the corresponding period last sea-.
SON
The backlog of untitled mill Or
ders, the bureau said, "is apparently
still quite large despite the fact that
for six successive weeks manufac-
turers' sales of unfinished textiles
have Jagged behind production
Trade comments" the report
said. indicate that mill activity
contisfued high through the first
three weeks of December, with most
mills planning to resume operations
on December 26 instead of taking
the longer vacation which is Gus
tOmarv in the industry.
If the present level of consump-
ton continues, it appears likely
that a new high record of at least
$500 900 bales will be made this
season"
Exports of United States cotton
totaled 145000 bales last month,
against 1875 900 bales in October and
$4,000 bales in November of last
year. For the first four months of
the current season exports totaled
495 900 bales, or only 81 per cent
of those in the corresponding period
last season and the lowest since
1873.
Exports from Brazil through Octo-
ber were approximately third
below those for the corresponding
period year earlier. Brazil already
has shipped nearly twice as much
cotton to Canada this season as in
all of last season, the bureau said,
but United States cotton exports
to Canada have been only about
40 per cent Of what they were .
year earlier.
