BUYERS CONDEMN BAD
 PACKING OF COTTON

Following a series of shortages in weights charged to them, Conway cot ton buyers are in receipt of letters from the Little Rock Board of Trade protesting against what they claim to be bad packing of lint cotton. The loss of weight in most cases, they state, is .caused by allowing steam to enter the bale as it is being pressed. The let ter of the Board of Trade follows:
 Though it is yet early in the sea son, the cotton buyers of Little Rock and those in the Little Rock territory are confronted by conditions that re- quire proper, prompt and energetic ac- ton.
 ''In the face of an excessively dry September there are numerous com plaints as to the dampness of cotton and the heavy loss in weight. Many CTS which were water-p packed or steam packed
 "One expert ginner who is using steam press and steam tramper ex- plains that by slight carelessness the steam might escape and thus dampen the cotton in the box. Whether this be so or whether water or steam is allowed to enter into the bale inten- tionlly or unintentionally the fact re- mains that such cotton is improperly

baed and liable to damage, and even when not damaged will shrink in weight. The innocent purchaser is paying for water and should be pro tected The cotton upon arrival in Lit tie Rock is weighed and inspected by expert and trustworthy weighers, and the Little Rock buyers make claim for loss in weight and irregularities on the parties they buy from.
 Tn placing these facts before you we desire to ask your cooperation in assisting us to remedy this evil. To the credit of our state, there has been a gradual dmunition in the matter of false packing of cotton and other ire gularities. Arkansas cotton enjoys a high reputation in the markets of the world, and we ask everyone interested in the cotton trade, from the grower to the exporter, to exert his influence in furnishing straight packages and proper weights to the shippers, there by building up not only the cotton growing industries of the state, but protecting its good name
 We desire to call your attention to rules 6, 13, 14 and Is of the Little Rock Board of Trade, governing the sale and transfer of cotton, which are as follows;
 Rule 6. All seedy, mixed, fraudu- lently packed and damaged cotton may be rejected and cotton sold by samples must be delivered accordingly unless rejected for causes above stated.
 Rule 13 All free-on-board cotton for shipment to Little Rock is to be weighed as soon as practical after it's arrival, and in case of any discrep- ancies between invoice weights and re- weights the shipper is to be furnished promptly with statement of any such discrepancies for which he is liable However, the seller has the right to have the cotton weighed at his own eX- pense within IS hours from the time claim is made.
 Rule II. Country damaged cotton, i. e., cotton damaged by water, mud or in any way unmerchantable or in bad condition, will be put in order at the
