ADVICE FROM COM'R PAGE
ON MARKETING COTTON

Little Rock, Nov. S.-The last
two days our cotton classer, Mr..
e. C. Atkinson, classed 800 sam
pies of cotton. OF these Sc were
middling; 1872 strict middling 3
strict good middling; ! middling
fair, and 10 strict low middling.
In staple IS were / 1.16; 60 were
l is; 81 were 3-16; 3 were 1 IA; ;
s were 1 5.16, and 1 was 3.S.
Taking into consideration the
grades above middling, on a ba-
sis of the allowances on the Little
Rock market, this lot of cotton
is worth 1892. 50 above middling.
On a basis of premium allowances
for staple, it is safe to estimate
that this lot of cotton would be
worth at least $1,000 more than
the value if all were short cotton.
This lot of samples came from all
parts of the state, and the owners
of the cotton now have full infor-
nation on which to market their
cotton, and they sell it intelligent
ly and demand its true value. In
the absence of this information
they would no doubt sell it on
their local market as in the past
without regard to grade or sta
pie, and would get the market
price for middling cotton. If so
there would be a loss of from
S2500 to $1,000 on the entire lot.
The usual custom in local mar
kets is to buy cotton on middling
basis, unless the cotton grades
below middling, in which event it
is bought according to grade.
This is the report made by the
government after thorough in.
vestigation over the entire cotton
belt in 1894. If you are selling
cotton that will grade above mid
ding and are not having it graded
before selling. the chances are
that you are losing money. The
grading costs you nothing, All
you have to do is to send your gin
sample, taken by the ginner and
sealed. Send either to me or to
the U. S. Bureau of Markets,
Little Rock.
The following is the difference
in price of the different grades of
cotton according to the Little
Rock quotations, based on a 500
pound bale:
Strict middling, SOC bale above
middling; good middling, Sl.OO a
bale above middling; strict good
middling, $3.50 above middling;
middling fair, S3.10 above mid
ding. Strict low middling sells
for S1,25 below middling strict
good ordinary, S6.25 below mid
ding, good ordinary, S8.75 below
middling.
When you know the price of
cotton on your local market and
know the grade of your cotton,
you can easily determine its sell
ing or market value by taking
tie foregoing scale and adding or
substracting
We are classing cotton every
day and have two government
classers most of the time, and
will gladly serve you.
