A 1898 magazine article arguing that the depression in the American cotton manufacturing industry, especially in New England, stems from over-production for the home market. The author, drawing on four years' residence in Colombia, proposes developing export markets in South America, with trade figures for Colombia, Chile, Brazil and Argentina compared with British, French and German exports. He recommends cloth cut in the lengths buyers want, proper packing for mule transport, credit terms, and competent sales agents.
