that the producer receives NOR
money for his cotton in this form
than in other package. He will
continue to use the roundlap bal
so long as he finds it profitable
and no longer.
The interests of the farmer, th,
ginner and the American Cottor
Company are identical.
The farmer has his cotton put ir
roundlap bales because the savings
which accrue in their marketing
enable the buyer to pay him q
premium sufficient to pay the
baling charge and leave him sub
stantial profit besides.
Much as compressmen would
like to have farmers believe other
wise, the American Cotton Com
pany has no purpose further than
to secure for itself fair share of
these savings. Its interest lies in
enabling the presses which it
builds to bale as much of the
southern cotton crop as possible.
In order to insure this result it is
essential that cotton growers find
profit in the use of these presses,
or they would not patronize them.
To this end, and in order that the
full savings OF which roundlap
bales are capable might be realized,
the American Cotton Company be-
came a buyer of roundlap bales,
paying for them premium above
the market value Of square bales.
paying for them premium above
the market value of square bales.
Thus the rental which the COM
pany charges for the use of its
presses by ginners who prefer lease
to purchase, is paid by neither the
farmer nor the ginner, but by the
cotton buyer (whether the Ameri-
can cotton company or some other)
and it is paid out of the savings.
Beyond insuring that cotton in
roundlap bales shall in all cases
sell for the premium to which it is
entitled and which is paid for at
The mills, the company does not
90. Its cotton agreement does not
'equire that single bale of cotton
% sold to the American Cotton
Company. Ginners are free to
,uy or lease presses, and every
oundlap bale, with all of its ad-
'antages, can be bought in open
ompetition by any responsible
uyer and handled through the
lills, with all of the resultant
avings, but wherever the ordinary !

AMERICAN COAL FOR EUROPE.
HEADS OF GREAT CORPORATIONS ABROAD
LOOKING FOR BUSINESS.


London. Sept 1.-American coal kings" and
their agents are apparently swarming to Eng
land. and rumors of many important deals filled
the air during the last week. W. P. Rend Of
Chicago, is here on his way to Paris. He is
hopeful of supplying both the French and Rus
sian navies with steam coal from West Vir-
ginia. Mr. Rend had long interview with the
Russian Consul yesterday and was in con-
sultation with the Russian Naval Attache to-
day, before proceeding to Paris
F. NJ Hopkins. OF Philadelphia. this morning
closed contract for one hundred thousand tons
of PENNSYLVANIA run of mine coal for immediate
delivery at Mediterranean ports. Mr.. Hopkins
said:
English consumers are not familiar with
American unscreened COAL but Continental deal
are. L therefore. am selling to them. 1 do
not anticipate trouble in securing charters.
President Cassatt Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road has gone to Paris on the same business,
while the presence of Robert Pitcairn, super
intendent of the Pittsburg division of the Penn
syvania Railroad, at the Carlton Hotel is oc-
casionlng considerable gossip. Mr.. Pitcairn goes
to Scotland on visit to Andrew Carnegie early
next week, and thus it connects his visit with
scheme to provide the Pennsylvania coal syndi-
cate with transatlantic transportation
Mr.. Pitcairn said to a representative OF The
Associated Press
My visit to Mr.. Carnegie is not exactly upon
the errand suggested. I not quite sure how
long the present coal famine the existing
conditions in England will continue My per-
sonal idea is that American mine owners are
apt to find better market in Mediterranean or
Black Sea ports than in countries where Eng
land herself will be competitor Under fair
conditions 1 believe the United States can sup
ply England's former customers on the Cont
nent with profit.
