The Consumption of Cotion The
. Co in in ft Factor.
, We "have been furnished by Mr.
George Keubne, the . following very
interesting and valuable article by
Mr. Henry Binna in "Cotton," tbe
official Journal of ths Manchester,
England, Cotton Association :
- "Trade revival Is s miracle worker.
It alter the conditions. It Is the
difference between uphill snd down
hill, between a head wind and s rear
wind. Every sailor ami every cyclist
know the difference. It is high time
cotton men knew It; but very few cot
ton men realize this diametrical dif
ference.
Supply snd demand are very much
more than a mere definition In politi
cal economy. They are very real
concrete fact and factors, each of the
two is a enaunnai noi aaa now. eonH

"Predominant Partner," then tbe
other,
During periods of trade revival, on
tbe other hand, demand take the
supremacy and the lead; demand be
comes the aotive monied man; impaita
the main initiative, rapidly reduces
supply, and so raises price.
For fully four years past depression
has darkened the commercial world.
The sun of revival has now risen. It
is not noon-day, bat it is the early
morning. Tbe conncioue warmth of
prospsrity will come later. Mean
while we enjoy the hope and the
promise of it. We have something to
look forward to
Instigated by enoooraging profits,

crop sad unfortunately grown to
enormous dimensions luring tbe first
two years of the reoent depression
Hence, while demand contracted.
supply became immensely overloaded.
The visible supply became absolutely
portentous. Prices collapsed misera
bly: utterly. It Is, in fast, almost in
the nature of an economic law that
supply, during the trade depression,
crushes prices down to, or even below,
the barest agricultural cost. This is
no new discovery.
It is no less in the-nature of an
eeonomie law, that during periods of
tr -de revival and of eontinned aetivity.
consumption decidedly takes the
lead. The recorded experience dur
ing previous term of trade revival,
justifies the forecast, that all who are
now interested in cotton, will during
snd from the year 1695, snd probably
for fonr years on, have to modify,
perhaps entirely to change, the pea-
imeetio views which the consequences
f the breakdown of finauciil credit
have laterly indneed. Pessimism, In
fact, is not much longer to be the
commercial order of the day. Optim
