Mr., Ladd in speaking for Galveston
Itated that the Galveston cotton men

ng so cents bale more than
through shippers can get their
cotton laid down there for, and
.laimpd that there was no good rea-
on why shippers to Houston and Gal.
yeston from interior points should b.

or uncompressed cotton than they {
Jay for compressed, and even that
When the railroads are willing to
larry il at about the same rate. In :

you'd, since the insurance rates have 4
