COTTON BADLY BAlLED
Americana Planters Wnste In Packing
Many Thousand Every Year.


Washington, April 2.--Ehorts TO save
more than s25.0oo.ooo a year. now be-
ing lost by Southern cotton growers
through lare charges. is being made
by the Department OF Agriculture.
Secretary wilson has written 10 the
Liverpool and other foreign cotton eN-
changes for suggestions as TO how
these tare charges might be reduced
and has received replies from all of
them.
III cotton could DE oaied in better
shape" says the Liverpool exchange
In It's reply, there is no doubt that the
European exchanges would be willing
10 pass by FLAWS for such cotton TO be
sold actual tarc." provided uniform
length and weight Of canvas be adopt
cd for every bale
This exchange lays the whole hlame
for the loas on the American export
er and planter.
There is no article Of similar value
which ia so wastefully packed, and oil
which so little care Is taken in tran
sit as American cotton continues the
letter. IF the cotton were balcd ir
the same manner as the growth of the
India and Egypt freishts and insnr'
ance premiums would be lover.
Dr. b. T. Galloway, chief of the Bu
reau OF Plant Industry, said that II
his opinion, the problem would be
practically solved after the communi
~ system OF cotton growing had once
been established.

Private mes sages said that Liverpool rose on re- por.s of hot winds in the south. This was mystifying to the local trade, as no such reports were re- ceived here. The western belt reports beneficial showers which balanced to some extent the more unfavorable conditions in the Atlan,ics At the end of the first half hour prices were 10@11 points up.

 The forecast of more rain for the eastern half of the belt increased buying orders. While profit taking by the long side was much in evil dence throughout the morning, Of- ferings were net at any time equal to the demand Shorts were tilnld sellers ard on the whole more in clined to reduce than to increase the commitments. The encouragement from Wash ngton that the acreage report and second report on condi- tion this season would be issued July 3 brought out fears of bullish figures again. At noon prices were 14@15 points up.
 The afternoon session was featured by continued buying of longs. July especially displayed marked strength. At ? o'clock prices were 17@2O points over yesterdays final quotations.
