SHORT COTTON CROP
CAUSE THE sPINNERs TO BUY
UP AND USE LINTERs.
Manufacturers the v orld Over Are
Trying Substitute for the High
Price Longer Staple.

A dispatch from Atlanta to the
Augusta Herald says with the price
of cotton sky-high AMI the cotton
crop throughout the South acknowl-
edged to be very short, the spinners
the world over are in the market for
any substitute for the long staple
for manufacturing purposes.
Z This state of affairs has given
new impetus to the market for lint
ers," as they are commonly called.
which is that fibre which the cotton
oil mills. of the South take from the
cotton seed before crushing the same
to extract the oil and grind the cake
Into meal.
This staple is not very long, but
this year. on account of the splendid
weather during which the cotton has
been picked from the fields, it is un-
usually: free from stains and of adj
mirable spinning quality. -
AS a result, there are scores of
buyers Of linters in the South who
are visiting the various cotton oil
mills and mill headquarters buying
up those bales of linters-Georgia
alone making $4,000 bales of 500
pounds each-which are to be ship
ped abroad for spinning purposes.
Harry R. Solomon, of the firm of
Solomon Bros. & Co., of New York;
Hanover, Germany, Lille, France, one
of the largest export-import houses
in the world, spent Thursday in At
lanta on his last stop Of his two
months trip through the South pur-
chasing the linters offered for sale
in and around this market.
These "linters' are shipped abroad
where the staple is spun into merce-
srized silk and manufactured into va
;rious articles of wear and imported
into this country. Those linters
which are not sold for spinning pug-
poses are manufactured in THE eoun!-
try into cloth, felts, made up into
mattresses and used as padding
for comforts.
|: The sale Of "linters," another most
sby-preduct. of the cotton
seed, now a most important part OF
the. cotton crop. has only been de-
!veloped In the South, few years,
!but isa rapidly taking its place among
THE, by-products which. are now 30
universally used the world over.
