ENGLAND WANTS LONG STAPLE
CABLES FOR QUOTATIONS. ON
WEBER TYPE OF COTTON.
Message to McLaurin Asks Terms
On Thousand Bales Delivered i'm At
lantic Ports Against Documents.

Columbia, Nov. 1S.-John L. Nc
Laurin, State warehouse commission
er, received a cablegram from Man
chester, England, yesterday, asking
quotations on 1000 bales of good mid
ding cotton, the staple to be an inch
and an eighth in length. Shipments
may be made from any Atlantic port
within four weeks, and are to be
against cash documents.
Cotton Of the quality is raised large
ly in Marlboro, Darlington and Dillon
counties and in small quantities in
other portions of the State. 1t is
known as the Webber variety, and was
propagated by David r. Coker of
Huntsville. E. w. Evans Of Marlboro
is said to raise more than 1000 bales
annually. Mr.. McLaurin said last
night that this cablegram would be
forwarded at once to c. E. Exum, a
cotton buyer Of Bennettsville. The
cablegram read:
Gable lowest price f. o. b., any At
lantic port 1000 bales good middling,
inch one eighth. Specify growth.
Shipments within four weeks against
cash documents" 1t is signed Mars
den."
Immediately upon the adjournment
Of the recent extraordinary session Of
the legislature, Mr.. McLaurin wrote a
we'll known mill man in England, at
the same time sending him a copy Of
the recently passed warehouse act.
The object in writing was to suggest
an exchange of State warehouse GER
tificates and foreign-held American
securities, that Manchester mills
might make direct purchases Of cot
ton. This cable, he believes, is in re-
sponse to this proposal.
In the warehouse bill as drawn by
Senator McLaurin there was a pro-
vision empowering the commissioner
to negotiate loans and sell cotton.
This part was stricken out, but Mr..
McLaurin says that if he can aid per-
sonally in placing cotton there is no
reason why he should not do SO. The
commissioner is firm in his conviction
that if he had official power he could
sell direct to the Manchester mills
and get credit in the New York
banks, which are largely indebted to
London. ~ ,"8
Our cotton crop is the key to the
situation" he concluded last night in
discussing the situation, "and it is
time we were using it ourselevs, in
stead of allowing New York to do so
to its advantage"
