Though not so large as in either of the previous three years, were over S.100,000,000 more valuable than ever before. The visible supply of American cotton at the close-of the season was the smallest for many years; The season (1903 - 4) demonstrated the fact that the world's consumption of cotton had overtaken the supply, the close of the season showing an actual deficit in supply amounting to approximately bales. It was also demonstrated that to meet the world's requirements a crop of no less than 11 000 000 bales per annu-m must be produced in the United States. Another notable event of the year, brought about bv the short American crop and the ever increasing demand for cotton, was the incorporation in England of the British Cot-ton Growing Association, with a capital stock of 000, for the purpose of extending the growth and cultivation of cotton in the British colonies, dependen cies, and protectorates. The prospectus of the association makes the following statement: It is an admitted fact that the world's consumption of cotton has overtaken the supply, and the danger of the situation is intensified by the fact that American requirements have enormously increased in recent years, namely, from bales in 1891 to bales in 1902, and will no doubt go on increasing. 'it is estimated that the normal increase in the world's consumption of cotton is bales per annum. It is therefore evident that unless new cotton fields are Opened up in other parts of the world, most of the mills in this country will have permanently to work short time, and may be closed entirely. Even should the present American crop (1904 - 5) prove to be a favorable one, the efforts of the association must in no wav be relaxed, for future years are most doubtful, and with the increase in con sumption it is almost certain that within a comparatively short period there will be another shortage. In 1901 and 1902 many cotton mills in this country were unable to run full time, owing to shortage of cotton. In 1903 most of the Lancashire mills ran short time for a period of four months, and it has been estimated that the spinners, manufacturers, and operatives suffered in that year a direct loss of apart from'the losses consequently entailed upon merchants and others indirectly interested in the welfare Of the cotton trade. In the present year (1904) the majority of the mills have been compelled to run short time for eight months, and it is impossible to estimate the loss to the whole Empire of the serious diminution in the productive and earning power of the most important manufacturing industry of the world.

Download or read book The American Cotton Industry written by Thomas Young and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Cotton Industry: A Study of Work and Workers, Contributed, to the Manchester Guardian The publication in volume form of this imperfect study of the American Cotton Industry affords the Author a welcome opportunity publicly to thank those friends in England and in the United States who assisted him in his investigations. Nothing could exceed the liberality and; courtesy with which American manufacturers and others admitted him to their mills and talked to him of their tr business, knowing, as they did, that everything they said I and disclosed might be 'used against them.' This debt of gratitude he cannot himself hope to repay; but if any information in this book should prove to be of value to English manufacturers, he hopes that they will consider it a gift from America, and return it in kind when American manufacturers come to England upon a similar errand. The Author can say without affectation that any merits which his book may have are due to these American and English friends, and that its many shortcomings are due to himself.

Download or read book Getting the message through A Branch History of the U S Army Signal Corps written by Rebecca Robbins Raines and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 1996 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.

Download or read book Cotton Tenants written by James Agee and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A re-discovered masterpiece of reporting by a literary icon and a celebrated photographer In 1941, James Agee and Walker Evans published Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, a 400-page prose symphony about three tenant farming families in Hale County, Alabama, at the height of the Great Depression. The book shattered journalistic and literary conventions. Critic Lionel Trilling called it the “most realistic and most important moral effort of our American generation.” The origins of Agee and Evans’s famous collaboration date back to an assignment for Fortune magazine, which sent them to Alabama in the summer of 1936 to report a story that was never published. Some have assumed that Fortune’s editors shelved the story because of the unconventional style that marked Famous Men, and for years the original report was presumed lost. But fifty years after Agee’s death, a trove of his manuscripts turned out to include a typescript labeled “Cotton Tenants.” Once examined, the pages made it clear that Agee had in fact written a masterly, 30,000-word report for Fortune. Published here for the first time, and accompanied by thirty of Walker Evans’s historic photos, Cotton Tenants is an eloquent report of three families struggling through desperate times. Indeed, Agee’s dispatch remains relevant as one of the most honest explorations of poverty in America ever attempted and as a foundational document of long-form reporting. As the novelist Adam Haslett writes in an introduction, it is “a poet’s brief for the prosecution of economic and social injustice.”

Download or read book Oxford Classics written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford, the home of lost causes, the epitome of the world of medieval and renaissance learning in Britain, has always fascinated at a variety of levels: social, institutional, cultural. Its rival, Cambridge, was long dominated by mathematics, while Oxford's leading study was Classics. In this pioneering book, 16 leading authorities explore a variety of aspects of Oxford Classics in the last two hundred years: curriculum, teaching and learning, scholarly style, publishing, gender and social exclusion and the impact of German scholarship. Greats (Literae Humaniores) is the most celebrated classical course in the world: here its early days in the mid-19th century and its reform in the late 20th are discussed, in the latter case by those intimately involved with the reforms. An opening chapter sets the scene by comparing Oxford with Cambridge Classics, and several old favourites are revisited, including such familiar Oxford products as Liddell and Scott's "Greek-English Lexicon", the "Oxford Classical Texts", and Zimmern's "Greek Commonwealth". The book as a whole offers a pioneering, wide-ranging survey of Classics in Oxford.
