This uncertainty" adds the report,

sequences Of such a condition. 1t thus

with a corresponding disadvantage to
the less expert. 1t is not sufficient to
say that the competition among these

seriously contended that this is always

Pending the adoption of a thorough
remedy the commissioner believes
substantial benefits will accrue by
modifying the six per cent contract so
as to provide for deduction Of five per

WASHINGTON. Sept "a false
standard of weights which inject I'M
certainty into practically every Ameri-
can cotton sale in the important mar
kets of Europe resulting in serious
abuses. indefensibIe practices and even
fraud on the part of cotton merchants

rules of foreign cotton exported from
the United States. according to Luther
Conant, Jr commissioner of corpora 70
tons in a report to President Taft.
The report is based upon an extern
