President of Cotton Ginners Makes se-

Washington, Feb. 3.-President J. A. Taylors of the National Cotton Gln- ners in a signed statement today as serted he had found out that inten- tionally, I believe. the January l6 re- port of the Census Bureau included from one to seven days more ginning than should have been included, and this report will cost the South $lO'- 900, ,oo0.
 The discrepancy he added, was caused by the way the instructions were given to the Government agents asking to get from ginners the amount of cotton ginned to date and the amount expected to be ginned. The ginners believed that the cotton al4 ready ginned and yet to be ginned were to be added for a total report and in many instances gave the agents the number of bales ginned to, say on the 17th or 23rd of the month. There was also loss of $7,oOO,ooo In our trade balance with foreign countries as result of the report"
 He quoted MT. North as saying leak from his office had never been discovered and said he thought MT. North was mistaken"
