FOREIGN MARKETS FOR Cotton
LINTERS, BATTING, AND WASTE

survey of the foreign markets for
cotton liltrrs. batting. and waste has
been completed bv American consuls
and the results made public in re-
port issued hv the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Comcrcc. Department of
Com"rrc. This is a subject concerning
which very little information has been
available in thcpaSt, but the opinion
IS EXPRESSED that if a careful study of
the field is made now the after war
trade will greatly exceed the total of
81 ,0oo,0ho achieved before hostilitics
comcuccA
The sales of lintcrs to foreign coun
tires have increased rapidly since the
war started, as has the price, but the
total exports of waste have decreased
somewhat, owing TO he fact that the
later material is not So important Ia
war industries, and also to the fact
that Germany, the second best customer
before ten war, is no longer in the mar
