DAILY COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, Oct. 24.-Liverpool
made strong showing, with an ad-
vance Of 26 to 80 advance in futures
and 81 points on spots; sales 10000
bales. Our market opened 16 to 30
points higher on buying based on the
strong Liverpool, bad weather indica-
tions, and expectation Of further ef-
forts by bull leaders. As New York
showed no strong support in the first
half. hour, the suspicioun that some
leaders wanted to realize, led to SELL
ing and the market experienced
quick drop Of 20 points. Liverpool
broke sharply in the last twenty min
utes. The weather may shows indica-
tions for unsettled weather in the
western half, possibly some snow
flurries in northwest Texas, western
Oklahoma, generally fair in the east
ern half; no danger Of the Atlantic
storm coming in. With December at
1880 and Oct. 1880 this morning,
some spots were bought at an advance
against the premium on futures, but
this demand stopped when futures
broke. In the afternoon, general buy
ing came in from all quarters and the
market crossed 10 cents for January,
closing only few points from the top
and 80 points higher than last nights

s ~ Nt +,
----~.s~A ~Aseseiation. II, BE 3 /.
(By Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, Oct. 24.-Bacteriologic-
al analysis was defended as the only
satisfactory basis for the grading Of
milk, in an address before the Labor
atory Section of the American Public
Health Association today by H. W.
Conn, Director of the Laboratories Of
the Connecticut State Board Of Health.
Mr.. Conn took up the various objec-
tions made by laboratory men, pur-
chasers and dealers and gave an an
swer to each one by quoting the re-
suits of an extensive investigation of
the subject which he had made in
Connecticut.
"For long time the dairy industry
has strongly insisted upon the retain
ing of one price Of milk by every pos
sible MEANS" said Mr.. Conn, summar-
izing the points he had made. "This
they have done, doubtless, to protect
the better dealers from the cutthroat
prices of those who are willing to pro-
duce milk cheaply and carelessly. Un-
fortunately the result has been to
bring all of the higher grades Of milk
down almost to the level of the lower.
In no other industry can it be said
that the poorer grades bring the same
price in market as the higher grades.
Under these conditions there is not
any stimulus to produce a higher
grade of milk. The better class Of
dairymen receive no stimulus to pro-
duce a better grade, since they can get
no better price than their slovenly
competitor.
"The oily remedy will come when
milk can be sold upon its value. The
difficulty, however, has been in devils
ing any method by which milk con
be graded in such a way that the pub
lie can rely upon getting what it pays
for. The experience of the past two
years has shown emphatically that
even in q large city like New York
the public is not only willing to pay
extra for good supply Of milk, but
that it can be produced and properly
guaranteed. The dealer is willing to
pay the. producer 9 little extra, for
furnishing such milk and the pro-
ducer is willing to take the extra care
II he can get the proper pay for it.
The grading system Of milk offers a |
way out Of the present cutthroat sys-
tenn by which the idustry has been or
ganized.
when the time comes that can |
90 into q market and buy a bottle Of |
milk with q certain label on It that |
guarantees that the milk has been
PRODUCED under conditions that 9re |
sleanly and safe and that the milk

extra price for such milk. Expert. |

ENDORSE JACKSON
DISQUALIFICATION
Business League Adopts Resolutions
Concerning Farm Loan Bank in
This District.

The Greenwood Business League
has endorsed Jackson, the capital city
of the state, as the logical place for
the location of one of the twelve Fed
eral Farm Loan Banks, authorized by
recent legislation passed by Congress.
Jackson is making a big fight for one
of these banks which will mean much
to the state and the entire section of
which Mississippi is the center.
There are several other points, many
of which are much larger than Jack
son, that are after the Farm Loan
Bank in this district. The location Of
the bank will be decided by the Farm
Loan Board, of which William G. Nc
Adoo, Secretary Of the Treasury, and
the Presidents most trusted councillor,
is chairman.
Mr.. McAdoo and the other members
Of the board will be in Memphis,
Tenn, on November the first and will
conduct hearing for the purpose of
getting information as to the Farm
Loan needs Of the farmers in the
states of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Alabama, and
incidently to look into the question
as to the most desirable place to To-
cate the bank.
A letter from the Business Mems
Club Of Memphis has been received by
the Greenwood Businesss> league, ask
ing that representatives be sent to the
hearing. It is the desire of the board
to hear representative farmers, mer-
chants, and others, concerning inter-
est rates, commissions, lenght of
loans, and other things that will show
the farm loan needs.
Following is copy Of the resolution
adopted by the Greenwood Business
League indorsing Jackson as the log
ical location for the bank in this dis
trict:
"Be it resolved that it is the opin-
ion Of the Greenwood Business League
that the city Of jackson, Miss, being
located in the center of the great ag-
,ricultural state of Mississippi and sur.
rounded in every direction by locali-
ties in which agriculture predomin-
ates, and because of its accessibility,
should be the location Of one Of the
new Federal Farm Loan Banks to be
established by the United States gov
ernment.
."Be it further resolved that q copy |
Of this resolution be sent to the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board"
Copies Of the resolution were sent |
to the Federal Farm Loan Board and
to the Jackson Board Of Trade. Every
effort possible will be made to help !
land the bank in jackson.
