 Arrangements are being made by the association to secure the actual prices paid the mills for the yarns made of local cotton. It is already known what prices are paid for yarns made from Sea Island and Sak. From these it is seen that the prices of yarns have increased 800 per cent, while the price of cotton has been increased only 250 per cent. It is believed that there should be a more eQuable division of the profits in favor of the producer. ,raD.fuT whO runs all the risf attached to the

It is predicted that 150,O00 acres will be planted to cotton in this valley next year, at an outlay of $17 GOO, 900. Con sidering such a huge investment, the letter urges safeguarding against leaks and losses.

COTTON SAFEGUARDS SHOWN IN MARKET LETTER 0F \. 4. E. [. \.

The latest weekly market letter of the Arizona American-Egyptia Cot ton association after noting the re- duced Alexandia quotations on high grade Saks. turns to quotations on the local market: seed cotton, 23A cents; lint. S1f1 cents. It is added that prac- tically all of the available supply of Alexandria has been contracted for at very high levels. and that all of it has not been sold at the mills. but is held by speculators. who will place it on the Boston market on the arrival of the actual cotton.
 It is stated that the mills are very we'll supplied for some time ahead, but when this supply is exhausted it be- comes a cery interesting problem to determine where they will procure the necessary raw cotton to keep their spindles in operation until the next crop comes in.
 Attention is called to the fact that Pima cotton is being discriminated against, and to show this, quotations are given of southern cotton and low and medium grade Saks of shorter fiber. The association is conducting an investigation to show what infiu- ences are behind this discrimination Tho effect of the Edge bill which
