ton combine here. which is taking ad-
vantage OF the short northern Brazil
crop to boost prices the people be-
lieye lower tariff would permit
American cotton to come in and bring
prices down Legislation is now
ready for passage looking toward this
lower tariff and United States cotton
growers may find a big market here
to take the place of the European
markets they have lost. Brazil wears
cotton. Not only wears it, but grows
it, There are more than three hun
dred Brazilian mills manufacturing
IT, These mills employ $1,000 opera
tors. Therefore. when a two years
drought in the northern states re,
duces the crop by half and a com
bine of buyers, protected by 1 cents
a pound import duty corners this
half and makes the textile industry
pay an exhorbitant price for il, the
Brazilian sits up ana takes notice Be
cause the grower sold IL at the usu-
al price, the miller paid q twenty per
cent increase on it, the 5000 opera
tors are working halr time and the
other Brazilians are raying more for
their clothes and other cotton goods.
The only happy men in Brazil, So far
as cotton Is concerned, are the mem
bers Of the buyers combine and they
are sitting tight behind their four
cent wall and saying nothing except
that it is stlll terribly dry in the
northern cotton fields. last week
President Braz directed a memorial
to the governments OF all the cotton
states of Brazil, urging them to raise
the export duties on cotton to a pro-
hibitiye figure This is the extent of
his power over export duties. which
are regulated by the states individ-
ually. Recently a government meas

is safe to predict thar the import duty
