Houston Thursday. December 20.
The proposal OF France to place precticaiiy
urubibitory tariff on cotton seed oil is at
tracing considerable attention throughout
Tcxaa This State manufactures more oil
.ban any other Of the cotton States and tho
interests involved are large.
some Of the mills have determined to make
/. fleht against tho inhibitive tarif which Is 10
bs raised. IL the law passes. from . to 70
francs per 100 Kilograms.
correspondence has been opened between
Texas oil mill men and Mr. Kasson. the COM
missioner plenipotentiary of the state depart
,nent at Washington. In the hope that the law
may at least be modified.
A large concern in France Is backing up the
movement claiming 1t can secure its SEED
from Egypt This. however Is deemed 'u-
practicable. England controls the output OF
EGYPT and viii hardly allow the French man
ufucturcrs to secure seed to crush. IA & +
An idea Of the Importance of the trade may
be Steamed from the fact that durinG the cur
rent wear France has Imported from the
United States something like 10000 tons OF
cotton seed oil. ID
"A Mir. Justus T.. Ralph. secretary OF the Amer
lean Cotton OIL company. says:
.Our company represents the largest cot
ton seed oil interests in this country. and
the United States government viii undoubt-
eddy take care of this matter for us. not be-
cause we arc the largest company. but be-
cause our Industry is an American industry.
A copy OF the French measure has been SUD
mittcd to the state department. with re-
quest that the government protest against the
iupost Of higher duty. 1t IL quite certain
that the secretary OF state VIII notify tho
French authorities Oh this so'ef n'iien' 49,
