90 CENTS A BALE
saved on Cotton Compressed
I'm Bryan.

A merchant Of Madison county hav.,
ing desired TO ship l40 bales OF cotton
rom Bryan to Houston, was 10 doubt
whether il would be best to have the
cotton compressed here or ship IL fiat,
and the question being one Of general
interest the Eagle Submits the follow
ing:
The rate on cotton, compressed or
dat, from Bryan b Houston, "a 40
cents per 100 pounds. This rate Is Tx
ed by the railroad commissions but the
railaoad company pays 10 cents hun
bred Of the compress charges here,
amounting TO 81 cents on 900 pound
Oale, which is a clear rebate or saving
VI that much to the shipper. In otner
words, a compressed Dale Of cotton
shipped from bryan Is worth 90 cents
more in Houston, than an uncompTess'
cd bale shipped from here, and this
profit Ultimately rUyerts 10 the producer
tor the reason that the cotton buyers
here are aole to pay 30 cents bale
more for cotton because we have a
compress here and in this enjoy =
marked advantage over suffoun ling
towns a. a cotton market.

COULD BE CARRIED OUT.

A method could be easily devised by
which all the unfairness in the allotment
of stalls would be prevented. The reve-
nus to the city, even II the fec charge,
was, as IL should be, a small one, would
amount to considerable. No one can say
that the city would he acting in mig
gnrdly manner In requiring foe as in
other cities the revenue derived from tho
letting of public market spaces or stalls
Is very large
OF course, in those cities there has been
some expenditure on the part of the pub
lie for buildings, still the advantage of
the Crawford bridge locality for bringing
together: the producer and the purchaser
should be worth something. Though
farmers are early risers, even they think
there Is happy medium and would be
willing to pay a reasonable fee for a spaco
at the market. II by so doing they could
secure permanent spot for their teams
nnd were not forced to get up until an
hour or two later.
The granting of license would give
the police better control over the streets
and the men might be made TO clean up
the refuse dropped by them in tho gutter
just rs they are forced TO do in New York
city and other places.
But license or no license, IL there is
any one who has not seen this market of
q morning the sight Is well worth get
ting up to see. The view will convince
one that there are yet good gardens near
Providence and some rich producing
farms.
