I Textile Indnstxy' Axe Topping HQ New^York, Dec. 8.?The rising tid< of textile mill expenditures, whicj started with the last war year, top $400,000,000 in 1947 asserts TEX TILE ORWLD. The '47 figure is $414 589,000 compared to $298*600,000 to 1946 and $212,000,000 for 1945. The magazine bases it? repprt oi news rom individual mills as colldc ted each month. The outlay reflect ed in these sums covers the Indus tdy's commitments for renovation modernization and expansion, and of course, involves cost of building* machinery, service and englneerinj cHiuiiiiiciii, civ;, i uc injures lnciuu all branches of the Industry. Modi fication Is made of synthetic-fiber plant expenditures; and, since s< much of this equipment and proces is c.iemical, only 20 percent of thei total expenditures are included. The $414,089,000 expended in 194 includes a proportionate ex,tensioi to the end of this year of the figure already available for nine months The projects include not ony constri ctlon of new mills, additions to pre ent plants, remodeling and renova tion of existing mills and purchas of new equipment whether for fn creased capacity or for replacement but also items for air-conditioning . humidification, materials handling lighting, power plants, employe welfare and improvements and ex tensions of mill villages. Annual Estimates' TEXTILE WORLD'S annual esti mates for 1945, 1946 and 1947 tots more than the five-year estimate o $640,972,000 made in 1944 and base on mill men's reports of what the I ......I J - i 1 ? ?I SI V- mt I - wuuiu sptrtiu in 11 me urei live pos war years. There are two importan considerations which to a high de gree reconcile the somewhat divei gent figures. 1. The fact that in 1944 1 texril men did not envision the opportunl ties and necessities of thp postwa period and consequently underesti mated their postwar .plant expend! lures;' and, v 2. "Hie great increase in cost c buildings anil machinery from 194 through the Intervening years t . date. A mill man thinking of adde units in 1944' of ; course reporte them at 1944 prices. Today, constru tion costs are'nearly 40 percent-ove 1944 and general machinery cost are up 30 percent. S Looking at the 1947 expenditure by branches of industry,' the cottoi branch is fouhd to have outrun a! others both in absolute total, (ova one third Of the textile industry' aggregate) and in percentage e Increase from last year tyi'eraly doi ble.) This is primarily title to ma chine improvements which #hav spurred modernization and to ( th fact that work with new fibers, syi i thetlcs, wooi-on the cotton-systen etc., has brought extensive develop menta among cotton mills.

"* ! r There is still much old machinery to be found in the textile industry, I which condition means continuance . of a good replacement market. There L is still good demand for textile pro- I [? ducts. Export volume alone seems i, likely to recede in the near future 1, only because of lack of dollar eret, dlts v/lth which to pay. ? I The turn In the tide of expendie tliresby the textile industry Is not yet in sight. There Is lielihood that - the 1948 figures will top those for o 1947.
