D. C.. Oct. 11.—Cot ton cannot be sold on Its merits until growers and buyers learn to know its market value. Guesswork now centers largelv into the sale of this crop. Often the buyer judges the farmer's product all too casually and offers a safe price, which the grower often is obliged to accept because he needs money. This method of selling, which is responsible for heavy losses every year, will yield to a more businesslike handling of the crop when the producer studies and grades his product. What he needs to know about his cotton to be a judge of its value has recently been stated in MOTHEfI!

Mass. frf- I terms readily understandable to the cot ton grower by two specialists in the office of markets of the United States department of agriculture, in Farmers’ Bulletin 802. "The Classification of American Upland Cotton." The bulletin tells how classing is done, how samples are taken, and explains the use of the J ■ official standards. When selling most short-stapie cot- ; ' tor.—S-4 to 1 inch in length—the grade is usually the only quality considered. I ■ Very little regard is paid to the length I of staple, although cotton having staple , of one inch is of unquestionably higher! value than that only 3-4 of an inch long. Many times discrimination is so care less that even the grade counts for lit tle with the buyer. More attention is I paid to the staple in long-staple or premium cotton—l 1-8 inches and long er—which usually Is sold, on type or samples. Cotton must be classified in order to determine the comparative values of the different qualities and to make buying and selling more satisfac tory by providing descriptions when samples are not available. Price quotations from various markets throughout the United States where the official cotton standards were used dur ing the 1918-16 season showed much I more uniformity than existed before I their general adoption. Low middling cotton of 7-8 of an inch staple sold for approximately 7-8 of a cent below mid dling. and good middling sold for ap proximately half a cent above middling. . To learn to classify all the grades and qualities of cotton requires years of ex perience. but the grower need not know them all. If he learns to recognize three ’ grades—low middling, middling, and good middling—he will be able to deal with most of the white cotton grown in the average season. By practicing with a full set of types or official' stan dards for compariapn. ccoples of which t‘-«b furnished at .-Ksmall charge by the 4_’nited , States department of agricul ture. a knowledge of the other grades maj- be obtained gradually. Four qualities should determine the value of cotton fiber: (1) Grade. ((2) color, (3) length, and (4) character. CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO GRADE] With the re-enactment of the United States cotton futures act. August 11, ; 1916, the following grades for cotton i were repromulgated : (1) Middling fair, <2> strict good middling. (3) good mid dling. <4» strict middling, (5) middling, •; (6) strict low middling, (7) low mid dling. (8» strict good ordinary. (9) goofl ordinary. This range of grades covers practically all white cotton grown in an average season. Middling, as the name indicates, is the middle or basic grade, I and is the grade upon which the market quotations are based. All grades above middling should bring a higher price and I all below should bring a lower price than that quoted for middling. the amount above or below varying accord- I ir.g to the commercial difference in use I where the cotton is marketed. When | cotton is not white its nature or class I | is customarily indicated by modifying | terms. At some markets there may be I I several classes of the same grade of cot- I ton. that is. middling off color, middling | spotted, middling yellow tinged or mid- ’ | dling yellow, or middle blue stained. The grade of cotton is determined by ! I three factors: (1) Foreign matter or' I impurities; such as leaf, dust’, sand, i motes and cut seed; (2) color, and (3> ’ quality of the ginning. CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO j COLOR. * The color standards re-established ’ and promulgated immediately after the j enactment of the cotton futures act. August. 1916, are as follows: Yellow tinged cotton of the grade of low middling. Yellow tinged cotton of the grade of t strict low middling. I! Yellow tinged cotton of the grade of 1 middling. Yellow tinged cotton of the grade of strict middling. I Yellow tinged cotton of the grade of good middling. Yellow stained cotton of the grade of middling. Yellow stained cotton of the grade of strict middling. Yellow stained cotton of the grade of good middling. I Blue stained cotton of the grade of middling.

Miss Blanche Rose, a well-known actress, who darkened her gray hair with a simple preparation which she mixed at home, in a recent interview at Chicago, 111., made the following statement: "Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray hair and make it soft and glossy with this simple recipe, which they can mix at borne. To a half pint of water add 1 oz. of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound, and 1-4 oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very lit tle cost.

Cotton NEW YORK, Oct. 11. —-The cotton market vr.B very irregular during today’s early trad ing. Business appeared to be largely in the way of evening up commitments for over the three day adjournment. Some of the local traders thought tney saw a possibility of frost for northern sections of the belt between the close today and the reopening on Monday, and this idea probably accounted for rebuying by some of yesterday's sellers or covering. On the other hand there was further realizing by old longs and some southern seling. The open ing was firm at a decline of 4 points on Octo ber, but generally 20 to 28 points higher, with December selling up to 26.19 and January to 2S.V» during the first few minutes, or about 24 to 39 points net higher. Reactions of several points followed with the market unsettled and fluctuations erratic. After selling off to 25.95 for December and 25.62 for January the market steadied on the western t.vlt forecast for cooler weather with frost In Oklahoma. Itecember selling up to 26.20 and January to 25.85, or 27 to 40 points net higher. Spot house buying accounted for the relative firmness of December and there were reports that northern spinners were fixing prices. The volume of business tapered off on the advance, however, with the market later quiet, but fairly steady at reactions of 10 or 12 points.

The economic advantage of uni form standards of handling these class es of cotton is therefore obvious. Fac tors that influence the color of cotton are weather, insects, and soil. CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO LENGTH OF STAPLE. Long staple cotton, with the exception of Sea Island and Egyptian, is classed according to grade in practically the same way as shbrt-staple cotton. There is a greater difference of opinion con cerning the length of staple than there is concerning grade. Experts very con siderably in their estimates of the length of the same sample of cotton, sometimes from 1-8 to 3-10 of an inch in the longer lengths. This is often due. no doubt, to the fact that they do not “pull” the staple in the same way. A rule used for measuring the drawn sample, there fore, is not always a sure index of the length, for one classer may discard more long or short fibers than another. If, however, all branches of the trade had the same type or standard sample of cotton for 1 inch, 1 1-8 inches, 1 1-4 inches, and so on, cotton could be com pared with the standard, both being pulled in the same way. and doubtless a greater uniformity could he estab lished. CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO CHARACTER. Ift addition to grade, color, and length of staple, the value of any cotton for spinning purposes is influenced very largely by its character which means the strength, body, drag, and uniform ity of staple, all of which may be noted when the cotton Is "stapled.” These characteristic vary in cotton from yetlf to year, owing to the season, soil, fer tilizer used, and variety of seed planted It has not been found advisable, there fore, to attempt to maintain uniform standards covering these variable quali ties In the staple of cotton.

AMERICA !\TmARKETS TO CLOSE ON FRIDAY New York eptton, fjtock. coffee nncl cotton seed oil markets and New Orleans cotton ex change will be closed Friday and Saturday on account of Columbus day. Chicago board of trade will be closed Friday but will reopen on Saturday as usual. Grain CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Wild fluctuations thia morning* disturbed the grain and provisions markets even more than during yesterday's session. Materially lower levels were reached, especially by provision*. Corn at first showed a tendency to rally from previous declines but the fact speedily became apparent that the buying demand was of a transient sort, chiefly from shorts who were collecting profits. The bearish causes that operated yesterday became again forceful —notably peace prospects, big crops and govern ment pressure for cheaper food. Opening quo tations. which ranged from %c oft to %c up, at $1,13 % to $1.13% December and to $1.09% May, were followed by a sharp general rally and then a setback of more than 2c from top figures. Oats held relatively steady on account of recent large export sales. Demoralization ruled from the start in pro visions. Buying support was slender, and the pressure to liquidate more and more urgent. Pork dropped $2.10 a barrel to $41.20 January delivery, and ribs and lard suffered falls that were almost as steep.
