Mnrvie Jordan Writes on the
World's Demand and Con
sumption of Cotton.
The pre-ent consumption of
American cotton by the mills of
the world is slightly in excess of
one million bales of raw cotton
*>er month. It is estimated, as a
result of careful investigation,
that if the spinners can secure the
■cotton and no international toubles
intefere with the present enorm
ous demand for cotton goods, ful
ly twelve million live hundred
thousand bales of American cotton
would be consumed between Sept.
1st, 1H05 and Sept. 1st, 1000.
This unprecedented consumption
of American cotton is due princi
pally to two causes; namely:
The isccasing demand for cotton
goods by the jobbing and retail
trade of the civilized nations of the
-world and the abormal increase of
«ew spindles within the past six
months in England. .Japan and j
America. Since .July more than
four million new spindles have
have been added to the milling in
dnstr.v of Manchester, England.
The Fall River Mills which were
shut down for sixteen weeks last
.year on account of strikes are now
ruining night and day. These
vital forces will necessarily de
mand at least one million bales of
cotton for consumption in
which were not required in 1905,
In the South new mills are being
♦milt and the equipment of the old
mills doubled incapacity wherever
labor can be secured.
Consumption is only limited
iio,w to the spindle capacity of the
world operating on full time. Mr.
Ellison, the English statistician,
estimates consumption for the
■next twelve months under 12,000,
000 bales of American cotton.
But Mr. Ellison represents tbe
foreign spinners solely, and it is a
habit with him to under estimate
«t the beginning of each year and
later on be forced to increase his
figures in the face of bare facts
'fbe price of cotton goods is very
high and advancing in most Iine^
monthly. In some cases priees
are higher than they have been in
♦ wenty-tive years. In the spring
of loot when cotton aduanced to
17 cents per pound and every
available bale of cotton for sale at
that time was eagerly taken by the
mills, the maufaeturer, jobbers
and retailers were loaded with
goods which could not be sold that
season. After consumption of tbe
14,000.000 bale crop of 1004. we
find the mills of the world today
with no goods on hand for salt1,
but from six to eight months be
hind with their orders, and the
jobbing trade in equally as bad
condition. With the trade now it
is not a question of price, but the
aterious problem is the delivery of
orders by the mills. The shelves
of the world are largely bare of
cotton goods and in many lines ale
fr.nlute exaustion has taken place.
Tins crop does not exceed ten mil
lion commercial bales, hence there
must he curtailment by the mills
before next September, showing
that consumption has gone beyond
the ability of production. At the
l>rice> of cotton goods spinners
could have easily paid the farmers
\'l cents for every pound of Ameri
can cotton grown this year. If
we should be able to hold back
two million bales for 15 cents the
spinners would still get the crop
ait an average price under TJ cents
l>er pound. Hut little cotton re
mains in the hands of producers and
local holders. If those who have
cotton will hold it firmly they will
l>e well rewarded later on when i
the whole world pealizes the short- j
ness of the crop and the market
resjjonds to the actual conditions j
brought about by the ligitimate
laws of supply and demand. To
the farmers, Southern Press and
the business interests of the South
generally, I extend herewith my
best wishes for a happy and pros
perous year. Yours truly.
