Remarkable Discrepancy.

A prominent planter and business
man has furnished us with an &C.
count of sales of five hundred and
fifty bags of cotton seed, dellnted
by the new process and shipped
from this place to Hull, England,
where they were sold. These seed
brought s24.sO per ton. Cotton
seed are selling on the plantations
of Washington county, at S.. per
ton. The rate of freight from New
Orleans to Hull is $4.5o per ton.
The English mills offer to take de-
Tinted seed at $4,000 per ton, and,
as proved by the above account OF
sales, have actually given more for
them. Why the American mills
cannot do as well for the producers
as the foreign is question which is
simply asked, and the reason and
remedy is left to the planters and
mills themselves. The cost of de-
limiting is about $1.oo per ton which
is more than compensated by the
value of the lint. Although the
delinting of the seed is an immense
advantage it is not possible thai
their value should thereby be en-
HANGED to the amount of eighteer
tdollars. 1t does not take a yer!
shrewd thinker to perceive that thu
discrepancy is too glarlng to be dis
/ regarded. Cotton seed is, or shoul(
be, one of the most valuable ant
remunerative products of the planta
ton. At the present price it is
wonderful encouragement to tn
growth, multiplication and pros
perity of the mills, which IN thei
turn, are an advantage TO bushes
, life and the prosperity Of the con
! munlty in which they are located
but it is very curious that produe
which enables the manufacturers I
wax fat and flourish should be s
little remuneratlve to producers
to cause them seriously to console
, the advisability of using it as
manure. An answer to this quer
might be obtained from the Cotto
| Oil Trusts, which, next to the pla
tiers themselves, are most deeply J.
terested. -Greenville Times.
