Cotton Markets Strengthen When
 Egyptian Growers Hold Products

Information of great interest to the cotton growers of the valley has just been sent out by the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association.
 This information is of such great importance to the cotton growers, whether association members or not, that we feel it should be published D said Charles M. Morgan, publicity di- rector for the association. Tt gives us heart to hope for better things. With the fact in mind that Egyptians are being held, and the further fact that Delta cotton and Sea Islands are strongly held, it seems reasonable to believe, after a careful analysis of this information, that by proper co-opera- tion in the final sale of this crop this valley can come cut further to the good than for time seemed possible" The letter follows:
 We have just received from our correspondent at Alexandria, Egypt, the following information in regard to the growers holding movement in Egypt.
 As mentioned in our previous re- ports, great efforts are being made by native cultivators and holders to stop the decline of cotton. After various meetings, it has been decided to form an association under the name of Syn dicate for the Defense of the Cotton Growers interest The aim of this syndicate shall be to undertake every possible measure to aid the Egyptian farmer.
 Tn a meeting held January IT, the following decisions were taken:
 l. Each member of the syndicate shall obligate himself not to sell his cotton at a price below 60 cents per pound for fully good fair Sakellaridis or at proportionate price for other qualities, unless authorized to do so by such syndicate. (F'ul1y good fair equals our No. 4)
 2. "A member selling his cotton without the authority of the syndicate
Arizona republican., 1921-02-25

shall have to pay a fine of one Egyptian ID. per cantar sold, and the case shall be given publicity in the newspapers
 3. The syndicate undertakes to ad- vance a certain amount of money to the members against their cotton The largest cotton growers being at the head of the said syndicate there is possibility of their being able to con trol almost 100000 cantars (400, GOO bales.)'
 1t is very probable that the effects of this will not be immediately felt as the mills will continue to use the cotton on hand which is sufficient to last for some months yet, but eventually this will cause the prices to advance very materially. At the same time we are advised by English experts that the Egyptian cotton has declined approxi- mately 25 per cent in it's superior quaIi- fications and one of these experts frankly states that Arizona produces a superior cotton.
 Tt is reported that there is only a little more than 100000 bales of Egyp- Itian cotton of good grade this year. We have rumors Tram several sources that the Egyptian cotton is being financed to the extent of 50 cents a pound by their government, but we are unable to confirm this to date.
 There is an effort being made to get all of the Pima cotton in a series of pools. If this should be successful it will strengthen the market very ma terially.
 There is not much Sea Island. but such sales as are made are at prices from 42 cents to 55 cents per pound, and we should certainly get as much for Pima.
 '"The imports of Egyptian cotton to the United States from August l to January 29 were only 1S,103 bales as compared to 19S, 16S bales for the same period last year.

 A short time later the police re- ceived a second call. A woman had been held up at Seventh and Monroe streets. After taking her money, he had attempted to force her into a va cant lot nearby. She fought desper- ately, she told officers, and finally got free from the assailants clutches Her description of the man, furnished of ficers al that time, tallied with the one received earlier in the evening.

Second Set Start Today, Bringing Total Up to

 The Semet- -Solvay resumed partial operations last Thursday by firing a batch of 30 ovens In order to provide the Alabama company with sufficient coke to start operations. From now on the Alabama company will re- quire the full coke quota of one ac- tive furnace.
 The Semet- Solvay company plant was shut down several months ow- ing to the low ebb of the iron pro- ducing business. It has 240 ovens and the present production is one or 25 per cent. The increase in the de- mand for coke will probably call for greater production in the near future.
