AS3-CORNERED
WAR ON GRADES
Classification Committee Of New
York Exchange Is Thrown
Between Two Fires.

NEW YORK. March 2S.--Cotton iu-
terests are watching intently The
three corneredN fight now IN progress
between the classification COMMITTEES
of the New York Cotton Exchange,
the large spot interests of New York
and Southern shippers,
In Its efforts to please everybody,
including the Government, the classi-
fication committee Is being made the
target for abuse from every side.
The quarrel has grown out of the
sincere efforts being made by the
committee to bring the basis for the
exchanges cotton contracts as near
the Government standard types rs
possible.
1t, seems that the largest spot in
terests in this city, knowing the po-
sition Of the committee, planned 10
pull off coup in the May option, and
sold a large amount of contracts
short, the idea being to club the COM
mittee into permitting q very low
grade of cotton to be delivered which
the spot interests believed could be
obtained in the South.
Bought Up Low Grades.
The Southerners saw what was
being done and promptly bought UP
all this low grade cotton. This left
the spot interests In very weak po-
sition.
Owing to the strict rulings by the
classification committee, there are
about $4,000 bales of low grade cot
ton in this city which the exchange
won't accept deliveries.
AS last resort, the spot interests
began heckling the committee, and u
is said even went so far as to write
a strong letter urging that the com
mittee be less strict. The committee
also received some very pungent COM
munications from associates of the
spot people, practically demanding
that large part of the rejected stock
of low grade cotton in New York be
certificated and made available for
delivery, and that 1t be accomplished
before the end of April, when May
deliveries are necessary.
Price Began to Rise.
In the meantime the price of May
began rising, rejecting the purchases
Of New York operators who were Ia
niliar with the weak position Of the
large spot interests These purchases
have caused a rise in May of about %
points, or nearly "a a bale, within the
last ten days.
Having been caught in their own
trap, 1t is only natural that the spot
people are trying to take II. out of the
classification committee.
Southern interests. who purcha sed
the low grade cotton with the idea Of
selling it at a high price to the New
York spot interests, are growing with
the New York Cotton Exchange be-
cause it won't let down the bars 10
the inferior grade of cotton so that
they mayainload
A majority Of the members of the
New York Cotton Exchange are sym
pathizing with th classification conf
mittee, realizing that its members are
between the devil and the deep blue
sea"

DUKE To FORM
MILLION BALE
COTTON UNION
Tobacco Man Plans $4,000, 1000
Warehouse Corporation for
Better Financing.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Cotton
men and bankers generally have APP
proved the plan OF James p. Duke,
the tobacco man. to form a $5,000,0 600
cotton warehouse corporation capa-
Bile of financing 1 100000 bales of cot
ton per annum. The plan Ii carried
out win do much to facilitate the
financing operations of spinners and
manufacturers through the standard
iZation of warehouse receipts. The
National City Bank has given its in
dorsement to the plan, it was learned.
and may assist in its organization.
The plan calls for the leasing OF
mills and warehouses wherever pos
sible and the erection Of others where
necessary. Mr.. Duke VIII take
$250.000 of the stock. it is said.
Farmers. merchants and manufac-
turers. especially in the piedmont
section, have given hearty support.
In the past 1t has been difficult for
spinners and manufacturers to obtain
ready financing on their warehouse
receipts owing to the lack of stand
HFdization of grades. About the only
warehouse organizations which have
existed have been those among farm
ers' unions and small cotton mills in
ehE OOutbs
Cotton warehouses have been very
susceptible to fires, and whenever in
surance adjusters questioned the
value of cotton stored in them speci-
mems OF the best cotton slightly
charred could always be found. On
this evidence the insurance compa-
MES usually had to pay the claims.
Among the cotton interests Mr..
Duke is rated as very shreWd deal
er in that product and he is said to
have put great deal Of the money
he has made ont-of tobacco into the
cotton Industry
With adequate facilities for storing
cotton under MIR. Dukes plan it Will
be possible for the manufacturer TO
buy some time ahead and be assured
of the proper place. to store. AS a
result he win be able to issue ware
house receipts on which he win be
able to borrow easily owing to the
fact that his product will be given a
standard grading by the corporation.

For a number of years the country

has been the occasional catastrophe
that one great heavy snow has fallen
late in the season to be followed by a
quick thaw and consequent floods.
Now the soil sharps. seeing that con-
6itions are more nearly ideal this
season than for a number of springs,
are encouraged to believe that 1914 is
destined to be a year of bumper

Good Start for Crops.
DR. Jay A. .Bonesteel, Of the Blu
reau Of Soils, said:
IF this snow blanket will only take
its time In departing we will have a
better crop start this year than for
several years To- date conditions
could be hardly more ideal. We have
had snow after snow-not too heavy,
but persistent enough to keep the
ground covered well and the tender
shoots of the wheat in perfect con-
6ition.
This is particularly true of New
York State and Eastern States gener-
ally, but at the same time conditions
are far better in the middle West
than is the general average.
