One does not need to be interested in textiles or in commerce to feel the 

 fascination of the world-wide sweep of the movements which affect or are 

 affected by the cotton trade. The industry has for some years been passing 

 through a critical period with regard to the supply of its raw material. The 

 volume of the world's crops has been increasing rapidly, but the demand has 

 increased still more rapidly, with the result that prices have risen in a marked 

 degree, and have maintained a very high level. The time is therefore oppor- 

 tune for a broad survey of the whole world's supplies of cotton, and the 

 prospects or possibilities of further increase of supply, either immediate or 

 remote. 



The writer of this volume has endeavoured to provide a comprehensive 

 survey of the production and consumption of the raw material which provides 

 nine-tenths of the world's clothing, as well as furnishing and decorative 

 materials, and of endless other new and varied industries from typewriter 

 ribbons to aeroplane sails. The point of view is that of the economist, not 

 the botanist. The uses of cotton-seed and the various trades into which it 

 enters, from margarine and "olive" oil to soap and cattle cake, are also 

 briefly described.
