LOSSES ON COTTON.
Congressman Brantley Says This
Counry's Share Of Money Is Cut |
Six Per Cent.


Washington. Dec. 24.--Having made
careful study Of the cotton situa-
tion and the profits and losses there
from. Representative Brantley of
Georgia. today gave 1t as his opinion
that Of the total production. so per
cent Is American cotton. and that a.
to this proportion there Is a deduc-
tion Of six per cent for poor wrap
ping-'tare." This Is not the case
with the other 40 per cent grown
In foreign countries. The average
American bale Of cotton weighing 500
pounds has deducted from It 80
pounds. whereas the actual wrapping
on that bale amounts to only 20 or
81 pounds Of cotton.
NOW" said Mr.. Brantley, today,
this discrimination has been going
on for years. During last August
the secretary Of State directed con-
sular oflcers OF this government In
various countries Of the world to
ascertain and report the facts oout
this. and II a discrimination existed
against American cotton to give the
reasons for It. together with any sug-
gestlons they might have for a rem
edy. These facts will soon he ready
for distribution in the shape Of docu-
mems to be printed by congress. They
will disclose the fact. first, that dis
elimination exists everywhere, and
then they win give the reasons for
II. And the reasons. In the main. are
the wrapping that we use on our cot
ton. the irregular manner Of baling
Il. and the ragged condition Of the
bale when It goes abroad. Besides
this. the reports contain practically
the assurance from the business men
OF the world buying our cotton. that
II we will standardize the bales and
have them Of uniform ixe. this dis
win be removed.
One Of these reports. In particular.
makes a calculation as to what our
method of baIirzg cotton. or our want
OF method, costs the cotton producer
on the 100000 bales that go $50
Europe alone: and he puts II at above
100000.
Those reports establish the fact
that the loss n really much greater
than that on tho total cotton crop.
They point out where the difficulty
first starts In our method Of market
Ing cotton. The cotton farmer. when
he sells bale Of cotton. sells It at a
gross weight. and he has an idea that
the more baggfng and the more ties
he puts on a bale the more profitable
II Is TO him. For instance. II he
puts on two yards Of two-pound bag
ging and six ties weighing a pound
and a. half each, he has weight Of
about 21 pounds that costs him per-
haps a dollar to purchase. and II he
sells his cotton at ten cents a pound.
he has sold that weight for s2ro.
Now. wher the exporter buys the cot
ton at gross weight he knows he must
sell II ut ne. weight. because he has
to do 81.
This subject means millions Of DOL
'ars to our people II they will profit
by the Information contained in these
reports. The matter Is Of Importance.
not alone to the cotton grower, but
to the exporter and the man who
buys and handles ft In 'oreigr, coun-
tries also.
