|, Of the commission to honest brokers. who was supposed to protect his client | in every detail. The cotton gambler. often Irresponsible financially, usurped s' h"ld. he would accept gamblers chance that the market would remain seauonary tor decline, preferably to enable him to buy the cotton he had sold. If the market advanced he often would resort to squeezed class" to make good an otherwise loss on his contract.
 In the years 1SSo-1se5 the fraud and rascality in the cotton business in- creased. Some buyers would take chances on .'robbing bales' by sampling, tc earn commissions. some years ago. when a bad season had left a large amount of very low grade cotton in the tennessee valley, cotton buyer from Meridian went to Huntsville, bought all the dog tail'' along the Memphis and Charleston railroad. shipped the stun to New England mills on orders calling for good grades of cotton, and pro ceeded 10 make up samples from high grade cotton samples drawn earlier in the season, and lying in the ware house. and drew against the bills of lading for the better stuff. Of course, there was a big profit to him. When this "stuff' reached the mills, after weeks of delay en route, he set up the claim of substitution by the railroads. l During those days, a rascally sworn weigher, whose business it was to hon 1 estly weigh cotton and properly scale it, offered to mark up lot of wet cot ton he probably dishonestly scaled, 20 pounds per bale on the forwarding Invoice, for a consideration, of course.
 Then there Is the split bale cotton thief the forged bill of lading crook, none of them with felon stripes that I've heard of as yet.
 l Banks have bceen robbed. times in
 numerable. with fraudulent cotton re- ceipts; with substituted cotton; cotton paid for on a fair grade and monde i script" unmerchantab1e cotton substi-
 tuted for the good cotton
 l These facts arc all cited to show the need for safeguarding banks and legiti- mate cotton buyers in the proposed plan of relief to the cotton planter and merchant in advances on cotton re- ceipts. In my next article, I vii take
 up the warrant warehouse question and i matter of making loans on cotton
 secure from fraud; and also the great
 benefits to all parties of the properly
 safeguarded warrant warehouse re-
 ceipt for cotton duly certified as to class and weight.

 Great Economies More Needed
 If it were possible to reduce the present standard bale to say 300 pounds. wrapped with cotton burlap and wire, the net in- crease in value to the farmers on 150oo.- 900 bale crop would be $50 900 annually. It would reduce the tare immensely; it would create a market for millions of pounds of medium and low grade cottons, particularly 'tinges' and stains now at a heavy discount as compared to white cotton. These grades are the result of frosts on open and partly opened bols of cotton.
 Fiom the original packing in great sacks, through holes in the floor, then to the old wooden screw press, to the pres ent standard steam power press, with a box for a 50O-pound bale. and the great congresses to mash these last, we have come. The immense amount of money in vested in congresses will for many years be bar to the innovation sugges ted, but ultimately 1t will come.

 Wide Open Door for Fraud
 In ante and post bcllum days the cot ton business was conducted upon the plane of honesty and fair dealing in every sense up to about 1880. In those days the broker received 21a per cent commission on the value of the invoice for buying for mills and exporters; also certain charges for haulage. chasing and weighing. The bulk of the sam ples" drawn were his, also. The commission merchant. who made advances on crops. often before they were planted. received commissions for the sale of the cotton consigned of 21a per cent together with certain fixed handling charges. He also retained the samples drawn, as rule, san item or profit
