BRIGHTER FOR 1905 No Lack of Money Among Growers as Present Year Nears End. BY J. C. ROYLE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW ‘YORK. December 19.—The cotton textlle manufacturers are { winding up what they declare has been one of the worst years In the Dbistory of the industry. But If they have no profits in pocket, they have costs better In hand. As a result, the outlook for the coming year is bright- er than seemed possible during the summer slump. At the start of the year the New ingland mills are working at ulmull 2 per cent of normal, and normal means less than capacity. There fol- lowed a steady decline in output un- tll in June less than half the normal activity was In progress and three- quarters of the plants were on a part-time basis. In October produc- tion got back to between 60 and 65 per cent of capacity. As the year closes mill after mill is increasing its operations to full time, and some are beginning to put on night shifts. Improvement Is Noted. improvement is due to many factors, Goods were steadlly worked | off all year, unt!l in October mill| stocks were authoritatively stated to be at the lowest point on record.| Cotton prices were lower and wages | in many plants had been reduced These wage reductions were made with comparatively Iittle disturbance, as workers recognized that stock- holders had had thelr returns cutj through reduction or passing of divi- ! dends. 1 There is a distinct feeling that the| tide has turned in the cotton textile industry, and manufacturers are pre- paring for a decidedly more prosper- ous season in 1925 South Less Depressed. The South s not going to have any skimpy Christmas because of the slackness of cotton manufacture and the drop fn the price of cotton below 1923 leve The textile manufactur- ers in that section have felt the de- pression in the goods trade far less| than thelr Northern rivals, and they | also have been able to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The Government figures show that | the average farm value of cotton this, year has been 22.6 cents a pound, as compared with 31 cents in 1923, but | the Increase in production, which is! estimated at 13,153,000 bales, willl bring the value of lint to the farm ers to $1,686,000,000, as compared with $1,563,000,000 for last year. Seed and | linters will add about $260.000,000 to this sum, o0 there is no lack of money among the cotton growers as the year comes to a close. Plan to Reduce Acreage. Small growers have sold most of thelr cotton to the merchants who | supplied them, and these mearchants | and the larger producers are holding | for higher prices. They figure (hu!{ the next season will see a carryover| to the 1925 crop of only about 3,000,000 bales, or 2,000,000 under normal. Farmers and bankers in some sections of the South are al- ready preparing to cut down acreage In 1935. They say they cannot plant another large acreage for 22-cent cotton, and pay high prices for corn to feed their stock The NEW YORK EGG PRICES.
