Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton Yarn: Import and Export Trade in Relation to the Tariff The purpose of this report is to set forth the conditions affecting the import of cotton yarns into the United States and to bring to gether, in a form available for ready reference, such data as are needed in a consideration. Of the tariff. Cotton sewing thread and yarn put up for retail sale are treated only incidentally to the main subject of cotton yarn for further use in manufacturing. An important feature of the report is a study of the cotton yarn imports (lining the fiscal year 1918 as compared with 1914, the last normal prewar year. In view of the lack of precise knowledge in the past as to the character of our cotton yarn imports and the needs which they supply, it was found necessary to make a special investiga tion of all cotton yarn Shipments entered at the various ports of the United States during the two periods mentioned. Much of the information thus obtained has hitherto not been generally known and it affords data directly pertinent for tariff purposes. These cross sections of the import trade, taken in typical years, are set forth in Chapters III and IV. They supplement and furnish a new basis for interpreting the published statistics, presented in Chapter II, in which are discussed the general character and the trend of the import trade over a period of years. The American export trade in cotton yarn and its rapid expansion during the war, are made the subject of a close analysis, in Chapter V, in order to ascertain the nature of the domestic yarns that are able to meet competition abroad, and the relation of the export to the im port trade.
