COTTON WILL BE MARKETED
IN CYLLNDRIAL Bales.

We are indebted to Mr.. Russell
A. Richardson, now a prosperous
real estate agent in ST. Louis, for
q copy of the st. Louis Republic
giving most interesting account
of the new process for baling cot
ton, which is of so much interest
to this section that we give it be-
low:
IA decided reform in the mark
citing of raw cotton is contemplate
ed by the American Cotton Com
pany,. a new concern which has
been chartered under the laws of
New Jersey.
"The organization of the COM
pany dates back to March, 1896,
when John E. Searles, of the
American Sugar Refinery Com
pany, and other prominent men,
launched the American Cotton
Company, with q capital stock of
$6,000,000. The capitalization is
divided equally into common and
preferred stock, and it is under
stood that the entire amount has
been subscribed at par.
Association with Mr.. Searles
are Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
Jerome Hill and d. G. Ball, of ST.
Louis, Stuyvestant Fish and D. G,
Ball of st. Louis, Stuyvesant Fish,
President of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company; D. R. Francis
former Secretary of the Interior;
b. P. Mcdonald, Director of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail-
road, and Bart Moore, of Waco,
Texas.
"The company is in possession
of the patent rights of the latest
cylindrical bale, and this promises
not only to revolutionize the
handling of cotton, but so to dis
count the foreign methods of pack
ing as to place the American pro-
duct on solid footing. Mr.. d. G.
Ball, in explaining the new pro-
cess of packing cotton, said:
att does away with the jute bagging
and cotton ties. The new covering
weighs three and one-halfpounds, which
constitutes all the 'tare.' It ia protec-
ton againss waste, pilfering, water and
damage Of all sorts and is worth to the
mills for re-wrapping almost the cost
per pound. The round bale is practi-
cally fireproof, as it does not contain
enough oxygen to support combustion.
In consequence it effects great saving
reinsurance, a cnt of 30 per cent having
been generally allowed on the new bale,
and since the recent successful fire tests
II IL expected that it VIII take preferred
merchandise rates. 1t has no loose or ex-
posed cotton, thus causing almost per
feet security. 1t is the most easily
handled of any cotton ever put mp. 1t
/. occupies, comparatively, only go per
eeHt Of the warehouse space Of the
sgnare bale. The clearly-stamped weight
on each bale Is guaranteed and main
tanned, as the thorough airing and dry
ing before ginning prevent the losing Of
weight in stock 1t easily loads 100
bales to the Ordinary car. From $50 TO
$50 bales can be put in big ears The
