1,270,287,000 pounds of cotton, averaging 32.57 pounds per spindle, and 
we find for the whole of Europe 58,440,000 spindles and 2,235,397,000 
pounds, averaging 38.25 pounds per spindle. The United States, with 
9,600,000 spindles, consuming the past season 1,356,598 bales, which, at 
450 pounds per bale, (rather an understatement,) gives an aggregate 
consumption of 610,468,100 pounds, averaging 63.59 pounds per spindle: 
adding these aggregates to the preceding, we obtain as the approxi- 
mate aggregate of the whole civilized world, 68,040,000 spindles and 
2,845,865,100 pounds of annual consumption, averaging 41.81 pounds 
per spindle.
