Factors That Determine

WASHINOTOX. 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

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

I Yellow tinged cotton of the grade of

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.

about one-fifth of the American cotton
crop falls within these standards for
color. 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.

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.
