Special Foreign Financial co-rcspoHdcnce
ROME, June i0.-In the report on the
commercial, industrial and economic
situation Of Italy recently published by
the commercial secretary TO the British
Embassy, at Rome. IL is said tina, Eng
lands principal competitors at present
in the Italian market are Germany and
America. and OF these the former is By
far the more formidable on account Of
the advantage which she possesses in
deprecated currency.
America is in the same position as
Great Britain in respect OF the handi-
cap imposed by the appreciation OF her
currency, and her trade with Italy can
not but be affected by the falling on in
Italian exports which will take place il
and when the new American tariff
comes into force. There have been ru-
mors Of various activities. including =
plan for sending semi-manufactured
articles from America TO be made up in
Italy, but no scheme OF this nature has
so far been made public. The danger
that America would replace Great
Britain as the principal source OF ltaly's
coal supplies appears less than it did a
year ago. The quality OF English coal
is preferred and the extra freight
makes IL difficult for the American
product TO compete on an economic
basis"

UnfenderabIe Cotton

From whichever angle the raw cotton
position Is examined il were dificult
10 arrive At a conclusion other than
that serious shortage is impending.
Growers have long complained that the
amount Of untendcrable stock on hand
being counted into the record of re-
serve was a constantly working force
TO depress prices. Extravagant state
ments we're made 20 the effect that
most OF the millions Of bales OF sup
ply on hand. or "carry-over," was Of
these grades. However. ignoring the
fantastic figures Of the past as largely
attributable 20 price hysteria and
taking the last estimate Of the Ameri.
can Cotton Association Of i,250, 900
bales "untenderable" grades ss possibly
near the mark, the question of the
use OF this more or less dead stock in
market short OF actual tenderable
and spinnable staple becomes both in
teresting and important.
The Bureau Of Standards, looking
ahead. has made a preliminary inquiry
into the utilization OF low grade cot.
tops in the manufacture Of cloth a.a
expects 20 have a preliminary report
ready within a month. The govern
ment spent about $4,000 some years
ago in testing the spinning value Of
such cottons and established their
spinning value when properly sepa-
rated from the impurities or trash"
with which they were unduly loaded. II
is the presence Of an excess OF such
foreign substances which places the
cotton in the untendersble classes and
not the inferiority Of the fiber itself.

81 is based on the general index price
OF commodities.
The principal reason why the unit
cost Of production this year will be
higher Is that the yield per crop is
considerably smaller. because OF un-
favorable weather conditions. A crop
IS the product Of 10000 pine tree sur
faces that are bled. Last years crop
averaged 43-i5 barrels Of turpentine;
this years is averaging 81.
This years production OF turpentine
Is estimated AT $4,000 TO $4,000 bar
rcls, and OF rosin 100000 casks. IL,
value will be about s3s 900 900. or
S2.000000 less than the average.
In normal times the foreign markets
took 30 per cent Of the South's naval
stores. Last year they took only ~
per cent. With foreign exchange con
tinuing as IL is. the trade expect.
foreign markets 20 take 4s per cent
this year, and more next year.
The United States formerly produced
SIS per cent Of the naval stores. The
remaining 10 per cent being produced

country did drop 10 production Of
