SHAKING UP NEEDED.
From Atlanta Journal.

Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of
the Interstate Cotton Growers Pro
tective association. charges that the
government agricultural department.
instead of being operated in the
interests of the farmers, is being
used az basis for the rankest kind
of speculation, to their serious IN
jury
He further AYERS that the sources
from which the government secures
its information is no longer reliable,
and declares tina. the fact that this
seasons crop is short is too well
known for attempts at deception on
the part of spectators
MIR Jordan made these charges in
statement 70 the Journal, which is
as follows
s.The recent report on the estimat
ed yield Of the cotton crop for this
season by the agricultural depart
ment at Washington only succeeded
in temporarily depre ling the price
of the staple 1t has been openly
charged that advance information of
the bureau report was furnished
certain partiee last Saturday, two
days before the publication of the
report. and that such parties were
able to take advantage of the specu
lation market, by creating the i'm
preston that a 'bn'lisb report would
be given out, when they knew the
contrary to be the case The New
; Orleans and New York cotton ex
changes have demanded a rigid in
vestigation of the statistical depart
ment of the Washington bureau, and
it is TO be hoped that the matter will
be probed to the bottom
"Twice this season the market has
been ,hunderetruck by these monthly
bureau reports and the prices forced
down 50 to 60 points within few
hours after the news wac flashed over
the wires This could not have
happened in either instance had not
the public been misled
1t has been presumed that the
agricultural department at Washing
ton was operated in the interest OF
the farmers, when, as matter OF
j fact, these monthly reports ore being
used as the basis of the rankess kind
of speculation and agalnst the inter

say, the market has rallied immedi
ately after these sudden drops caused
by 'bearish' bureau reports, which
proves conclusiyely that the public
places bu, livle reliance on The cor
rectness Of such information The
producers are not to be caught sc
