RISE IN BAGG|NG COST.
REDETELD MAKES REPORT TO
SENATE ON CAUSE OF IN.
CREASED PRICE.
Monopoly of Trade by Two Big Com
panics Is Given as Reason for Mar
kct Price Being Affected.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Higher
prices for raw jute and the repute I
absolute control of the price cotton
bagging in the United States by the
American Manufacturing company
and the Ludlow Manufacturing asso-
citation are the leading causes assign
ed by Secretary Redfield to the SEN
ate today for the big increase in the
price of cotton bagging in late years,
particularly the last year.
The secretary said that the two
companies opened the market at
about the same day each year at
about the same figure and any ad-
vance or decline in prices comes at
about the same time. Each year, the
secretary reported, these two COM
panies have been opening the market
later. AS a result dealers stated they
were afraid to import because the
opening prices of the two American
manufacturers might occasion them
great loss.
Security of cotton ties, large cot
ton crops, tagging held in ware
houses and smaller importations Of
bagging were moving as contributing
causes of high prices.
Competition between the Ameri-
can Manufacturing company and the
Ludlow associates does not seem to
be very keen," says the secretary. I'm
some local cities one company does
practically all the business, while the
other seems to' make no especial eff.
fort to push it's trade"
One independent manufacturer
gave the department investigators the
view that the price Of the steel bands
with which the cotton is baled-com-
monty called cotton ties-was affected
by the Carnegie Steel company open
ing it's market late in the season
when the bagging manufacturers did.
The report was made in response
to a resolution introduced by Senator
Smith Of South Carolina.

1t is stated that extension of the
South Carolina Western Railway to
Charleston is largely dependent upon
the patronage that road receives from
the merchants and other people of
this city. Thus far the :. G. w. has
not received as liberal patronage as
was anticipated and the officials Of
the road are naturally somewhat dis
appointed. They had expected to re-
CciVc a fair share of the incoming
freight. but thus far the freight bust
ness has continued largely to move
over the old lines. Perhaps if the
merchants would make n point to
rou.c more of their freight over the
ScabOard they would contribute ma
tcrially toward the opening af now
and shorter route to Charleston.
