The Cotton Market.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE cot
ton market was less active today.
The first call developed weak
feeling, with pricee 3 points high
er to 5 points lower. Later the
general market showed a general
decline of 3@5 points, liquidation
being the cause, following unsat-
isfactory cables and a lack of out
side speculative support. The
market rallied partially later, on
uns,. .iisfoctory weather conditions
in the cotton belt, it being feared
that insufficient rain had fallen.
The fact that the weather in
Texas continues very hot as we'll
as in other parts of the southwest,
added to the apprehension of the
bear contingent in connection
with the fact that no rains are
indicated by the government fore
casts.
During the afternoon the mar
ket was comparatively tame, but
generally quite steady. There
was one selling during the latter
part of the session for short
account, on the theory that the
higher prices ruling for cotton
would stimulate an early move
ment of the new crop and that
the influence of receipts would be
to keep spot buyers from antici-
pating their wants to any great
extent, thus leading to stock &C
cumulations. An element in the
confidence of the bulls is the
favorable condition of the cotton
goods market, and the outlook for
an exceptional consumption of
cotton.
The market was finally steady
at a net gain of to 3 points.

Something About Roller Mills
James A. Hoyt Jr.. in Columbia State.

| james A. Hoyt, Jr., In Columbia State.
Greenwood, Aug. 17.-The af
termath of the wheat growers
convention is perhaps an interest
ing as the sessions themselves
and the deep, widespread interest
now felt in the subject of wheat
growing is excuse enough for more
on the same line.
1t is the purpose of those in
charge to have a more profitable
meeting here next year. In the
next IL months many farmers
will experiment with this grain
and in that time it can be ascer-
tained just who can give the best
advice based upon practical and
successful experience. The com.
mittee to prepare a programme
will have ample opportunity to
do their work and an instructive
symposium be the result.
1t is reasonably certain that the
acreage of wheat in South Caro-
lima next year will be much lar
ger than e\ er before. The agita-
ton for this means ola diversifi,
cation of crops is TO bear results,
but all true reforms must be grad
ual to be lasting in their effects,
and each year will see an i'm
provement, as success proves the
advisability of extending the var
iety of crops. Heretofore there
has been no market for wheat
grown in South Carolina, while
we have furnished a fne, a most
profitable, market or rather
dumping ground for adulterated
western flour. If a South Carroll
ma citizen who has been buying
his flour from the west were to
go to one of those big concerns
which make flour in the west, he
would be denied the privilege of
seeing the process employed. The
adulteration is kept secret, so far
as possible.
AT present, so far as l can
learn. there are about 35 roller
mills in South Carolina, and l
lake it that anybody can examine
their operation at any convenient
time. These mills are owned and
controlled by cir liens Of This State.
They are in the business for the
money to be had out of it, but yet
their interests are identical with
those of their fellow citizens, the
farmers, to whom they offer a con-
venient and profitable market.
1t is claimed that the roller
mills take out more "tolP than
the old fashioned concerns. There
is an admitted difference in the
percentage retained, but there is
satisfactory explanation. The
burr mills take out about one
eighth; the roller mills one. sixth.
But the burr mills calculate the
per cent. on the amount Of wheat
after it has been cleaned while
the roller mills base their toll on
the total amount of wheat as it is
brought to the mill. In the end
there is little or no difference. A
farmer stated that he had tested
the matter by experiment and
found that he got one pound less
from the roller mill, but he was
entirely satisfied since it was bet
ter flour than the other. AS
rule the roller mills IN this State
return SO pounds of flour and IA

VI WHedI "uiCu constitute one
bushel. Out of one bushel of
wheat about 41 or AZ pounds of
flour are made. The ruling price
of wheat at the roller mills is now
about so cents per bushel, but
the most of the wheat obtained
on the local markets is by ex.
change on the terms just stated.
1t is estimated that the aver
age capacity of the roller mills in
this State is about 45 barrels of
flour per day. The largest mill is
one of those at Greenville, the
capacity of which is $50 barrels
per day. There are several with
capacities of Is barrels, and from
that they grade on down. A mill
of 65 barrels capacity will use
hardly less than 325 bushels of
wheat day.
One miller told me that from
June to September he is able to
run his mil. entirely with home
raised wheat. From September
to January, about rs per cent of
his "raw material" is ATTAINED on
the local market, the other por
ton being bought in Tennessee
and further west. Then from
January to June all of the wheat
has to be brought fl I'M the west.
So it will be seen that during six
months in the year, the South
Carolina mills send money out
west to buy a product which can
just as easily be raised at the
mill doors and raised there at a
profit.
Josh Ashley says he "ain't agin
the roller mills, tho they does
take leetle too much toll. What
l wants is more of 'em SOS there'll
be competition, boys" And Josh
is rig 1t. The farmers will profit
by multiplication of roller mills
and this is coming. Then the far
mers will raise NOR, wheat.
The roller mills now have no
trouble in placing their product
on the market. Nearly all of them
make two or three grades of
white flour besides the nutritious
Graham flour and some of them
grind corn also. 1t is only natr-
raj that this home made flour
should be popular. There is no
doubt about the adulteration of
the western flour while the home
product is pure.
1t seems that there is a great
future for the flour industry in
this State in connection with the
more extended sowing of wheat.
The majority of the roller mills
at present are in what has become
the manufacturing section Of
South Carolina, the upper por-
ton, where the cotton mills and
oil mills are also clustered, but
they are good things to have scat
tered around generally.
In the not too distant future,
we may hope for big CONNER
cial roller mill in the capital and
business centre of the State, Co
lumbia.
