Reasons Given.

Reasons Given.
 q. Because, if rates on compressed cotton uniformly Sk cents per 100 pounds lower than the present rates on uncom pressed cotton, with the privilege to the carrier of compression, are ordered, the carrier would be forced to pay the cost of compression on cotton which they do not now compress at their own expense, and which they would not be called upon to compress.
 "2. Because, the carriers will be forced to pay the same compress fee on cotton destined to southern mill points, which is tied with only seven bands, as they pay on export cotton which is tied with eight bands.
 "3. Because, the orders prayed for if allowed, would restrict the purchase of cotton at a compress point to buyers op- eratng at that point, and will prevent buyers operating at other points for com peting for said cotton and maintaining the full market price.
 A. Because, the orders prayed for, if allowed will restrict competition between the carriers for the movement of cot ton.
 "5. Because, the orders prayed for, if allowed, will increase the number of com presses and reduce the work which they will have to perform, resulting in the building of many unnecessary congresses, and rendering those now in use unprofit- able investments, and complicatng and increasing the cost of handling cotton on account of the many additional points at which cotton will have to be stopped for unloading at congresses for compression. and for reloadng when compressed.'
 It is further averred that the methods of handling cotton are best for all con- cerned, cheapest and most expeditions and ought not to be disturbed.
 It is admitted that the Central of Georgia leased cotton congresses at many points to the Atlantic Compress com pany but denies that such companies own or lease practically all of the Alabama congresses, there being F in the state not so controlled It is admitted that to meet competition cotton is at times concentrated at points where there are no congresses, holding this to be a com mercial necessity as well as the out growth of competition. It is denied, how ever that such concentration is an econ omizer of rolling stock.
 It is denied that the roads have re- fused in all instances to patronize inde- pendent congresses, but they have given the business where it is to their best fn- terests It is also not the intention of the roads to put the independent presses out of business. Those presses are patronized that give the best and the quickest ser vice.

 It is contended by the state that the congresses at work are in a trust, the stock being owned by the railroads, and that they plan to crush out all the com presses not owned by the said trust.
