that when the farmers get ready to
sqll 'their cotton they wlil sell Itlilrect
to thd spinners. Next in point of In-
terest Is his statement that the com-
press and. the old form of wrapping the
cotton lfl doomed. The second proposi
tion Is a condition of the first. t
In n conference on' the last day of
the convention between the national
executive committee of tho Farmers'
unibn and H W. McAllister bnb of
the greatest of Manchester's cdttbn
manufacturers Mr. McAllister guaran
teed that all cotton held by the farm
ers would be bought direct on the
condition however that the baling
and compressing of tho cotton conform
to the agreement reached.
The form of the bale will not nec-
essarily b.e changed but it will be
wrapped all around instead of only
on the sides and will have more .ties.
The density of the bale wiji approxi-
mate twenty-three pounds to the cu-
bic foot. In brief it will approach yery
nearly the Indian bale.
This will all bo done at the gin
cutting out the. compress entirely. The
condition imposed by the foreign man-
ufacturers id regarded hy President
Nelll as reasonable and calculated to
hrlnf nlinnfr n ttiiioTi nnprfarl tnfrtprrt In
lithe business qf pressing and wrapping
cotton. It has been stated many times
that America in most Industrial affairs
so 'progressive -is in the matter of cot-
tbri baling behind the Egyptians of
th'ree. centuries ago.- As a result when
American ''cotton reaches the foreign
markets it is In a most unpresentable
plight anil has greatly deteriorated in
grade; as vell as materially' less in
weight v
To offset the higher cost of the bur-
lap complete covering the spinners
will dodway with the tare' paying on
the weight of tgo bale without deduc
tion for bagging and ties. Because it
isjmposslble to prepare the cotton in
this manner this season the shippers'
will not demand it
Texas' cotton will be' sold through
tho Farmers' Union Cotton company:
nt Houston while cotton cast of the
Mississippi will go through a similar
institutionjn Memphis. Another mat-
ter brought out Was that the spinners
would consider both the grade and the
quality of the cotton. Heretofore buy-
ers have paid little attention to the
quality of the cotton tho average buy?
er knowing little of what any special
quality Is best adapted for. The re-
forms which the agreement .between
the growers and spinners contemplates
will revolutionize the marketing of
cotton In this country or rather fur-
nish a climax for all that has been
done since the union adopted tho ware-
house system.
As to the form of the new bale 'Mr.
Nelll says English spinners favor th'e
square bale while those of Germany
and the other countries of (Europe are"
Inclined toward tho round bale. It
Is not likely that tho union will takq
any action in the matter as the spin-
ners have agreed not to discriminate
in the matter of shape
Mr. Nelll says the foreign spinner
wero very much interested In the
South and in conditions and wanted
to know all about everything. Many
of them made excursions into the
c untry to see the' cotton growinT in
tho field's. Mr. Nelll believes that the
spinners v.llhtnect in America frxt
time also nnJ suggests that Fort W?rh
should work for tho honor of enter-
taining them as the now coliseum will
be finished by that time.
"Tho splnnors uro straightforward
In" tholr methods" said President Nolll.
"Thoy used plain talk and wo talked
plainly to thorn" In nil 120 foreign
representatives wero ''present -at the
great convention and the American
delegates numbered over 500 Sovera!
rnembers of the New York Cotton Ex-
change wero present in an effort' to
nvpiu-any rauicui ncuon. Among uiem
was the president of the system. How-
ever their affords were unavailing. Fif-
teen delegates wero present from
Texas."
President Nelll states that a com-
plete report of tho convention will
b prepared and sent to all the county
eecrrtaries for distribution. In can-
plclioii with tho niarkot conditions he
stated that he expected a spurt In
prices within a few days. He. is con-
fident that the farmers -Will win out.
