Re Growing Ceylon Cotton :— The future demand 
ia always likely to be heavy. The population (world) 
is 1,500,000,000. 500. millions, they say, always wear 
clothes. 745 millions are clothed (partially) and 
250,000,000 are running about quite naked. So the 
Cotton trade of the world should go on merrily from 
generation to generation. Reports from Manchester 
are better and Germany good, owing to the free use of 
Indian Cotton. American and Bombay mills doing 
badly. The American crop is expected now to be 
lOj to lOi millions. Next acreage h«ge and planting 
very early. All depends now on weather and the 
Boll weevil, which some say consumed oue million 
bales last year ; it is to be hoped it will never 
visit Ceylon. New Zealand Cotton is 9Jd ; West 
Indian 8d to 8|d. Spain is growing Cotton,
