WEEK IN THE
COTTON MARKET
BY WALTER PARKER


New Orleans, La. jury 29.--In a
day or two the Senate and House are
expected to adapt the bill regulating
cotton future trading as reported by
the Joint Congressional Conference
Committee.
Hard on the heels OF such action
will come the inception OF orderly
development and expansion of the
cotton market, and in the course of a
little while the refinement Of the
scientific marketing OF the south's
chief staple crop will become appar-
ent
During some years past the spec
ulator has labored under the belief
that the future market was created
for his special purpose and particular
benefit. AS matter of fact. the
fundamental purpose of the future
market is to protect the producer,
the merchant and the consumer Of
the actual cotton, and under the uni
form system of Federal Contr
provided by the agreed-on bill which
contemplates the international stand
ard OF cotton types and the correct
ion OF those abuses which. in the
past have adversely affected the le-
gitimate interests OF the hedge trad
er. such protection will be available
to the maximum degree.
Undoubtedly the result will prove
beneficial to all interests since the
speculator, or underwater, as he
should be called, will in the future
earn only legitimate profits predict
dicted upon information, experienc
and Judgment and not profits result
ing from artificial advantages arising
from rules and practices which give
one faction greater technical influ-
ence than some other faction.
The bill as agreed on contains a
7-S inch staple clause and good or
dinary value clause to which object
ion has been raised by the trade.
In this connection. however, 1t
should be remembered that under
the Governments method of measur-
ing staple the longest sample fiber
of the cotton is used as a basis. and
under the trade method, the Shortest
fiber only counts.
In the case of the good ordinary
value clause. it should be remember
ed that the bill gives the Secretary
of Agriculture the authority to
change the government types SO as to
permit of an international standard.
Under the circumstances it would
seem that the trade has nothing to
fear from the Smith-Lever Bill as it
House in final form. It puts an
end to twenty-five years of prejudice
and misinformation and clears the
way for better and bigger market
for cotton.
Weekend Developments cost the
price of cotton several points. Some
rain fell in Texas where general
soaking rain is needed American
spinner began to discover that the
bark Of the tariff dog was worse
than the bite, and the advance in
cases without overreaching competit-
I've limits. Finally scmall spinners'
taking which reduce the total of the
season thus far to about last years
figures and the prevalence of the
belief that the government crop
condition of July 25 will show an
Improvement over that of June 25
caused some selling.
1t is probable the project for the
building of a new cotton exchaug
building at New Orleans will be Civ
en- impetus by the final passage of
the Smith-Lever Bill.
