Roundap Bales Made Cotton Higher.

Wherever the American Cotton Com
pany's Roundlap presses were operated
last season higher prices prevailed for
cotton, whether balcd round or square,
In order to get cotton, square bale buyers
were obliged to pay moro than tho mar
kct price, and more than cotton was sell-
ing for in ncighboring towns whore thcro
was not a roundlap plant. In some cases
the premium paid by square box ginnors
in competition with roundlap gins dur
ing the greater part of the season was rs
much as half a cent per pound above the
price ruling at other old style gins in tho
same county. The inevitable result fol-
lowed. Cotton land tho owners trade
with iD was drawn for long distances to
roundlap points to tho profit Of the
entire community, and at The expense Of
towns that did not enjoy tho advantages
of round bale competition.
The effect of such object lessons has
been demand for roundlap presses for
next season which will tax tho full
capacity of The American Cotton Com
pany's works running day and night
