NEXT COTTON CONGRESS
ITALY WAS SELECTED AS THE
PLACE OF MEETING.
Seems to Think America VIII Hold
Monopoly. European Governments
Asked to Exploit Cultivation of
Cotton in Their Provinces.

Cotton in Their Provinces.
The International Cotton Con-
gress, which was in session in Paris
last week, adjourned to meet in It.
ally in 1909, either in Milan or
Rome, the exact place and date to
be determined later.
One of the most important reso-
lutions adopted by the congress was
That inviting all confederated asso-
Citations in the various countries in
terested in cotton to join in a har-
monlous curtailment during periods
of distress arising from over or I'M
der production; another invites the
European governments to study and
advance the extension of colonial
production of cotton; a third in
structs the cotton contract commits
sion to place before the exchanges of
Europe a recommendation for the
substitution of the net weight basis
of purchase for the present franchise
basis, which allows a shrinkage of
80 pounds in bale of 500 pounds,
and fourth looks to the introduce
ton into Europe of the mutual mill
insurance system now in vogue in
America.
VIII Prove Helpful.
The American delegates think that
the congress will be generally help
full, and the foreign delegates recog-
ni2e that there is little hope of
breaking the American monopoly.
Nevertheless they say the congress
marks the systematic advent of for
eign competition, and Americans be-
1eve the best method to meet this
foreign antagonism is for America
to exercise greater care in the pre-
paration of its cotton, and to ship
1t in better condition. The PROPOSE
ton to change the purchasing sys-
tenn of cotton to the net weight basis
is regarded as the most important
action of the congress, and the Amer
lean delegates think it will probably
be adopted in America if it is sue
cessfully adopted in Europe.
To Curb Speculation.
The question of adopting measures
in an effort to prevent unwholesome
speculation in cotton was thoroughly
canvassed, but the only action taken
was the adoption of a resolution in
structing the permanent committee
to study a method of creating re-
serves of cotton in Europe sufficient
to insure the European industry
against inordinate prices due to
American speculation.
The congress adopted also in prin-
ciple a resolution instructing the
permanent committee to prepare an
nual cotton statistics with the object
of warning the industry when ma
chinery was being augmented be-
yond the means of consumption. The
congress further agreed to authorize
the committee to study the American
proposition for the establishment in
the southern states of a cotton ex-
pertinent station founded and man
aged under the auspices of the for
eiign industry for the purpose of as
certaining the real cost of overpro-
duction and suggesting methods of
lowering this cost.
