COTTON.

New York, March 1.-The volume
OF business today was moderate. Up
to final hour changes were unim-
portant. Some of the German con-
tingent who have been operating on
the short side availed themselves Of
declines by covering. Liverpool,
however, was the main factor. Or
ders from there were numerous and
the selling of new crop months was
anything but encouraging to bulls.
AT the same time, according to all
reports, manufacturers are doing
exceedingly well and under contract
far ahead. So long as this situation
keeps up there is not much prospect
of any yielding in prices. Purchas-
ers are expected to appear on every
reaction sufficient to check any seri-
GUS decline and probably cause much
higher prices. The advices from the
South show that the demand for ex-
port is by no means at an end as ex-
pected would be the case by March
u. Less warlike news from Washing
ton helped to impart a firmer tone at
the close, when prices were up 2 TO
8 points for near months. Port re-
ceipts were s0460.

UNIFORM COTTON BALE.
COTTON MEN ANXIOUS COR IT'S
ADOPTION.
Believe That Tt Would Result in Much
Saving to the Producer. Approved

in Foreign Markets.
The proposed adoption of uniform
cotton bale is being discussed with much
interest and enthusiasm by the cotton
men and the press of the south.
The Atlanta Journal of yesterday, IN
regard to the uniform bale, says:
eve are glad to see southern news
papers and cotton planters as we'll as
cotton merchants giving their hearty
endorsement to the uniform cotton bale
movement.
"a large convention of cotton compress
men held in this city two months ago
adopted strong resolutions in favor of
press box 24x54 inches. The cotton
exchange of New York and the New Or
leans cotton exchange have given their
influence to this effort to establish a
uniform standard for cotton bales.
'Recently the New York exchange re-
ceved a letter from the Liverpool Cot
ton Association setting forth the rea-
sons why the adoption of a uniform bale
and the better packing of cotton would
make the cotton crop of this country
more valuable, and expressing the hope
that this reform would be soon &C.
complshed. The prospects for it are
bright
Hon. Dan Hughes of Macon, who has
had large experience as a cotton planter,
said in a recent interview
Il was a cotton planter from 1849 to
1889. l gathered a great deal of expe-
rience during all those years. Some of
it cost great deal. think l under
stand all of the present conditions sur
rounding the cotton planter, and | am
influenced by this knowledge to declare
myself unequivocally in favor of the
proposed standard bale, and the 24x54
press box. 1t is an improvement in the
right line, and it's general adoption will
prove a great advantage to southern
farmers.
Cotton growing must be governed
by the same rule that applies to any
other business in these days if the
planter expects to make it pay. The ex-
pense OF handling it from field to market
must be reduced.
1T seems to me that with ocean
freights reduced and the tare taken off.
which am assured will be The result if
a standard bale is adopted, the farmer
should not hesitate to demand it. Cot
ton growing, like other business, must
be done on narrow margins, and the
profit will be governed largely in the
future by the amount saved in handling
it from gin to spinner
The cotton crop now maturing in the
south will, we believe, be sent to market
in better shape than any preceding coop,
and the result will be a saving of mill
ions of dollars which would be lost by
continuing the careless methods of the
past. lbany Herald.
