TABLE 15.-ANNUAL PRODUCTION, CONSUMPTION, EXPORTS, AND NET IMPORTS OF RAW COTTON, FOR THE UNITED S'l'ATES: 1790 TO 1910.

Production.-The produot1on statistics relate, when possible, to the year of growth, but when figures for the growth year are wanting, those for a commercial cro]J whkh represents the trade movement have been taken. 'l'he statistics of production for the years 1790to1898, lnolusl~e, have been compiled from publications of the United Slates Department o! Agriculture; for the years 1899 to 19101 inclusive and for other dates, when available, census figures are used. Value of lint.-From 1902 to 1910, inclusive, the value of lint per pound relates to upland cotton of tho average grade markctctl prior to April 1 of the following yenr; from 1800 to 1901., Inclusive, it Is the average prleo of middling cotton on the New Orleans Cotton Exchange; and from 1790 to 1889, Inclusive, it is taken from reports ol the lJnltocl States Department of Agriculture. Con.mmption.-The staUstics of consumption for the years 1790to1894, inclusive, have been compiled from publlcatlons of tho Unltod States Depnrtmont of Agriculture, rmd those for tho years 1895 to 1903, inclusive, from the reports ol Latham, Alexander & Co. Census figures are used for tho years 1904 to 1010, inclusive, and for other dates when available. The statistics relate to the 12 months during which the crop of tho specified y@r wns ohiolly marketed, and not to the calendar year spec11ied. Domestic exports and net lmports.-For the years 1790 to 1819, inclusive, these statistics have been compiled from American state papers, and for tho years 1820to1910, from Commerce and Navigation ol the United States, published by tho Bnreau ol Statistics, Department of Commerce and 1,abor.
