Washington, Sept 4.-Rules Of for
eigu cotton exchanges, governing tare
on cotton exported from the United
States have created a false. standard
OF weights which inject uncertainty
into practically every American cot
ton sale IA the important markets
of Europe. resulting in serious abuses,
indefeusible practices, and even fraud
on the part of cotton merchants in
this country, according TO Luther
Conant, Jr., commissioner of corpora
lions in a report TO President Taft,
made public today.
The report is based upon an ex-
gensIve investigation OF cotton tare

Of competition and it's remedial eff,

possible to escape the conclusion thai
the producer may be injured and

waste does not injure the producer

the consumer OF cotton goods, says
the report. Commissioner Conant de
clares that immediate action should
be taken 20 remedy the evils and
offers suggestions for temporary and
ultimate permanent relief.
The American producer sells his
cotton gross weight and as a rule. &C
Cording TO the report, believes that he
makes big profit on tare by receiv
ing the same price for bagging that
he obtains for cotton. This Is un
true, the report says. as the evidence
demonstrates that the buyer OF cot

in fixing the price he offers.
