DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Jan, 23-The census
gives 13,O9l.264 bales ginned to January
16, which compares with 15.515, 799 last
year and 11,253,147 in 1911. Period gin
nings this year were 172,0O0, against 1879
600 last year and $4,000 in 1911. This
was considered quite full and favoring
the contention that the crop is considera-
bly, in excess of $4,000 900 bales as gin
nings are only 100000 less than last
season. with final total of l6,05l, 600
given by the government on March 20,
and a total growth. according to Mr.. Hes
ter. Of l6, 500, 900 bales
The fun text Of the census report says
that corrected ginnings to January | are
2,9O7405, and, on this basis, the amount
ginned for d the period this year is $4,000
First trades here were at unchanged
prices and the prevailing opinion in re
gard to the census bearish, but strong
support in New York, according to wires
by McFadden. Hayne and Hicks. pre-
vented a decline, and even turned the
market upward. May selling to 12.40
The gain was all lost as soon as support
ceased.

NEW YORK. Jan. 24.--Liverpool more
than NETT he decline due this morning
This, coupled with the sudden change in
the Turkish situation, caused the cotton
market here to open barely steady, with
first prices a net decline of to II points
from last nights close. Sentiment among
the local crowd was very bearish The
ring crowd and commission houses were
good sellers. There seems to be a lot
of cotton for sale The market, how
the call. some very good buying pre-
vailed. The larger spot interests were
the leading buyers.
The average trader expresses the belief
that the long interest has been very
much rduced and a large short interest
exists, which indicates that a rally is in
order. At the end of the first half hour,
March had regained 10 points of the early
decline. while other active months were
to ( points higher than the opening.

Alfalfa seed receives especial atten-
ton because Of the importance and
widespread popularity of this 1A%-yn.
The extensive importation OF Asiatio

these distinctions for themselves.
In addition TO the photographs, dif-

in carrying qualities in favor Of the
southwestern" corn as compared with
the central" corn, this difference be-
ing due mainly to the excessive mois-
ture in the latter. The average mois-
ure content Of the Southwestern
corn was l4.7 per cent. at the time of
loading as compared with 1876 per
cent. IN the corn from the central part
Of the corn belt. The Central corn
showed marked deterioration during
shipment. The percentage Of sound
kernels in hold No. decreased from
GAL per cent to 499 per cent while
the percentage in the total central
corn decreased from 94.4 per cent to
47.9 per cent. The southwestern"
corn, on the other hand showed 96.9
per cent. OF sound kernels at the time
of discharge, or only i of one per cent
less than that shown by the ANALYSIS
OF the samples taken at the time Of
loading. Hold No. / also shows
sprouted cor. on the surface. In all
cases the degree OF shading shows the
degree of deterioration. This Is only
one Of the many results brought about
tions showing enormous losses as a re-
suit from the production, marketing,
and transportatlng of corn containing
excessive percentages Of moisture.
The moisture tester is used for rap
idly determining the moisture content
Of all kinds Of grain and other similar
substances. This apparatus was de-
vcloped in the Department and is now
used exclusively In the grain standard
ization Investigations Of the Depart
ment, and is very extensively used by
grain exchanges and agricultural eX-
pertinent stations, both in the United
states and I'm foreign countries. The
general plan consists in the heating Of
the material in a good grade Of com
mercial engine oil free from water 50
that every kernel comes in contact
with the heated oil The moisture is
driven or In the form Of steam aud
afterwards condensed and measured.
The entire operation requires from 20
to 80 minutes for a single test, but In
running a large number OF tests the
average time is very greatly reduced,
one man with a helper being able TO
handle as many as 200 samples per
day
This method has been worked out
for satisfactory use with corn. wheat,
oats. kafr. rye. barley, barley malt.
fla1seed. cottonseed. rice soy-beans.
corn cobs, and distillers' grains. The
method is also being slightly modified
80 that It Is applicable to flour and
meal. The apparatus was developed
in the department and patented by the
inventors and the same donated to the
people OF the United States, so that 1t
can be manufactured. sold, or used by
any one in the United States without
the payment Of royalty. This appar1-
tus is fully described in circular ".

Prof Herman, who heads the depart
