Cotton Demand
Continues High

NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-During
194l, production of cotton mills
was estimated at 1850, 100000
square yards of goods, which fig
Iure represented an increase OF
more than POO over 1910 output,
and compared with an annual
average in recent years Of around
5000, 100000 square yards, says
Fitch Investors Service.
AS cotton is practically the only
yarn in tins country of which sup
plies are ample. il is expected that
this betterment in output will be
continued during the current year.
With demand, both from civilian
and the armed forces. continuing
at a high level. total domestic con-
sumption Of cotton in December,
1871, expanded 10 SS7 600 bales
from 777,000 bales in the CORE
spending period the year before.
and brought total consumption
for the first five months OF the
current season up 10 4,440 900 run
ming bales. a gain Of about "a,
over the 3,579 600 bales consumed
in the like five months of 1910
This increased rate is expected
TO continue for the remainder OF
the 194l-42 season, ending July
81, 1912, and bring the total
domestic consumption up 10 APP
proximately 1000 1000 bales, which
will compare with a consumption
Of 900 900 bales in the 1904
season. the previous record year.

In Course of Business

Under existing law, American
checking banks, like individuals,
may not legally possess gold, so
the bank presents the metal TO
the Federal Reserve Bank and
gets corresponding deposit
credit at the Federal Reserve
for tho gold. The Federal Re-
serve Bank in turn gives the
United States treasury physical
possession of the yellow metal
and receives from the treasury
a receipt called a gold certifi-
cate. which IS an offSetting La
blllty for the asset of treasury
gold and which IN turn supports
the deposit liability which the
Federal serve Bank has
created for the benefit Of the
member checking bank.
From that time on, the de-
post / a b ility is not eXtin-.
guished but is transferred from
person TO person in the course
Of business. Such deposits are
not self-liQuIdatinC or eXtIn-
CuiShed until the asset fgoldl.
which created the liability, IS
Withdrawn from the system
Most Of the gold thus acquired
has not added 10 the official
published debt Of the United
States. For a time, however, in
the thought that such action
would sterilize the inflationary
effect Of gold. the treasury paid
out notes, instead Of gold certifi-
Gates. After a short time how
ever. the treasury reverted 10
