The general trend in cotton consumption in the United States is upward, although depression years temporarily reduce consumption. From 1900 to 1916 there was an increase of over 70 per cent. The depression Of 1920 - 21 carried consumption to the lowest levels for 10 years, but thereafter the upward trend was resumed except for the reductions accompanying the business depressions Of 1924, 1927, and 1930.
