The trade journals, on the other
hand, show that the price of 68 per-
cent Florida pebble phosphate rock
was quoted from $G85 per ton in
June and $11.50 per ton in Septem-
Der and that the basis has been
changed from f. o. b. Tampa to
f. O. b. mines, making an additional
difference Of about $120 per ton
They also show that the quoted price
of bulk acid phosphate increased
from $3.50 to $4,000 per ton. The
Federal Trade Commissions, in it's re-
port on the fertilizer industry, ind-
Gates that the large fertilizer manu-
facturers have practical control of
the phosphate situation through the
ownership of acid phosphate plants
and of mines and factories and
through the existence of long time
contracts of low prices with other
than their own mines.
The department has urged the
mine owners, the larger fertilizer
manufacturers and the producers of
acid phosphate to make some con-
ccssion to the smaller manufacturer
by lowering the price at which they
can purchase rock and acid phos-
phate. They reply that, on account
of the strike in the Florida pebble
district in 1919 and the car short
age the stocks Of rock and acid
phosphate are so low that they have
difficulty in obtaining sufficient guam
titles of these materials for theil
own use. Apparently the greater
part Of the rock that is mined above
the contract requirements of the
larger concerns is held for export
and domestic buyer without q
longtime contract is compelled tC

ter of the yarn and the grade and
description of the cloth.
No farmer would fail to have his
cotton graded were he to hear half
the reports which daily come to the
attention of the government cotton
graders to the effect that farmers
have been offered from SIS to $25
per bale more after having their cot
ton graded by government grader.
1t certainly appears to be both a
foloish and an unbusinesslke policy
for the farmer to sell or store his
cotton without having it graded by a
United States government grader
and ascertaining the value. If he
wishes to sell he is not dependent
upon one buyer or one market but
can offer intelligently to any buyer
anywhere; and should he wish to
store, in case of fire ne has list
of the government graders class and
would encounter no difficulty so far
a sthe grade was concerned in col
lecting from the insurance COM
panies. Then again, if he wishes
to borrow money on his cotton re-
ceipts he will find it much easier to
obtain when the bank realizes that
the cotton has been graded by a
government cotton grader. In some
localities banks have refused loans
except where cotton has been so gra-
ded, as they realize that the grader
is thoroughly experienced and abso-

COAL COMPANIES
FACE INDICTMENT

New York, Dec. 31.-The federal
grand jury today returned indict-
ments charging the lIaddock Mining
company of Luccrnc, Pa, and the Won
Storch Collieries company of Scran-
ton, Pa, and their exclusive sales
agent in this city with profiteering in
the sale of domestic sizes OF antinra-
cite Goa lin violation of the Lever
act.
Henry Mecker of Mccker & Co.,
wholesale dealers, exclusive sale
agents for two companies, was named
in both indictments.
The indictments charged the Had
dock company with selling at "unfair
and unreasonable" prices 13,500 tons
of coal during September and Octo
Der. The Indictment alleges that the
company sold coal to f. 0. b. mines at
from $13 to SIS a ton when "a reason
able price would have been about
$685. ton"
The Won Storch company is alleged
to have sold 19,500 tons of coal dur
ing the same period at prices ranging
from $13 to SIS ton which a "proper
and reasonable" charge would have
been "from 1886 to $8.65 a ton"

ufacturers stated that their price to
contract purchasers was materially
lower than the quotations in the
trade journals for non-contract or
cash purchases. They stated that
practically their entire production
was sold under longtime contracts,
and that the quotations in the trade
Journals were based en- resale lots
where money was needed or storage
capacities had been exceeded. 1t is
evident, therefore, that the needs
OF the larger manufacturers are pro-
vidcd for, whereas the source of sup
ply of the smaller manufacturers is
seriously curtailed, and the prices
which the smaller manufacturers
have to pay are greatly in excess Of
contract prices. Within the past
two weeks, however, the acid phos-
phatc price has declined from $4,000
q ton to $17.00 ton on the basis
OF Baltimore quotations, and the
price will probably continue to de-
cline as the stocks on hand are, in
reality large. Information has
reached the department that not only
is the cost of material falling but
that the cost of manufacture is also
decreasing.
The Lever Food Control Act does
not authorize the fixing Of prices of
fertilizers, but manufacturers who
exact an unjust or unreasonable
profit will be subject to prosecution.
