They and their hosts will find themselves In accord on a good manr things, and especially as to the desirability of hanging the stock gamblers who pet up corners in cotton. But the bulk of the cotton men on this side scout the suggestion that they can best find a way out of their troubles by lending a hand to Increase the area of rollon culture in the south. "We have got to fix things so that get cotton from other parts of the world or bust. is one Lancashire manufacturer's terse summary of the situation. LANCASHIRE'S AWAKENiNG. Thus it has come about that the Lancashire folk have waked up," and from tbe amount of Jubilation that has accompanied that Announcement in the press it rcsonably might lie inferred that a state of somnolency is the normal condition of big British industries.

Many samples of cotton have been received from agents of the association that Lancashire manufacturers have pronounced good, some of it quite equal to the American produrt. Aa a result of all that has been done thus far It is confidently asserted that in England's possessions all the cotton needed by her mills eau he raised, and as murh more as the rest of Europe may need.

Lancashire's great industry has been worse hit by the short supply and high price of cuttua than is generally realized in America. According to the latest estimates th. various interests concerned in it have lost more than $5U.UUU,(Hi0 In the last twelve months. Experts have done a lot of figuring on the outlook fur the future, and tney have all reached the same conclusion, it Is that, If England continued dependent on tin-- Tailed States lor the bulk of her cotton, her colossal cotton manufacturing industry, which directly or indirectly glvea employ nieut to S.nuO.uOO people, will be ruined, and that at no distant dare. It would tie a national disaster almost aa appalling as the Iobs of her colonial empire. The world's present production of cotton has been estimated by a 1 .encash Irr expert at le.fmu.OoO hales, of which the United States produces India S.tMiii.WiO, Egypt l.Oim,-Oiand the rest of the world another 1.000,000 hales. In ten years from now, figuring on the normal increase of consumption. It Is predicted that 19,000.000 bales will be required to keep the world's spindles busy, and in fifteen years 29.fiiKi.000 bales. That the United States ran come anywhere near satisfying this demand is considered impossible, in fact, ft Is asserted that with her own population rapidly growing and her own mills increasing, her surplus product left over for export must inevitably 23.
