SEEKS TO AMEND
COTTON MEASURE
Stevenson Introduces Amendmea
Slightly Dissimilar to That
by Dial
The State


Washington, May 1S.-Representa-
tive Stevenson of South Carolina in
troduced to the house today an
amendment to the cotton futures act
under wihc ha buyer on the cotton
exchange would have the right to Sc
| lect one-half his purchase in any of
the legal grades desired by him, and
the exchanges would have the right
to deliver the other half in any of the
grades they might select.
The amendment differs from the
Dial amendment only in that the lat
ter stipulates that the buyer and sell
er must select their halves on the cot
ton from two of the ten grades.
Mr.. Stevenson states that the rep
rcSentatives from Mississippi, Louis
lana and Oklahoma, where low grade
cotton isproduced, have found no
fault with either his or the Dial
amendment. They defeated the Com
er amendment last year because of
their belief that it would eliminate
market for low grade cotton.
