IN FM YEARS
WASHINGTON. Dec. 30. (/*»>—
World cotton production for the
1932-33 season was estimated today
by the department of agriculture
at 24.000.000 bales, the smallest in
five years.
This is 200.000 below the Decem
ber 8 estimate and 3.500 000 under
i last year's crop.
Mills Maintain Activity

at 11,300.000 bales, which Is 900.000
above last season and 600.000 be
low 1930-31.
Cotton textile mill activity tn
the United States and most of the
important foreign countries was
«ald to have been apparently main
tained during November at the
improved levels reached a few
months earlier.
Many companies, however, have
had some difficulty, in disposing
of their output or tn maintaining
iheir unfilled orders.
Cotton textile mills, in the
United States, the department said
continued to operate at high levels
during November with total cotton
consumption the largest for any
month since April, 1931. although
sales of the manufactured products
were less than output.
Large Order* Received •
The high rate of activity was said
to have been maintained on the
basis of Urge orders received early
in the fall.
The consumption of domestic
mills during November was 504.000
bales compared with 502 000 in Oc
tober and 425.000 a year ago.
Total consumption for the four
months ending November 30 was
t.900.000 bales, an increase of 124.
000 over the same period last sea
