and stapling of cotton nnder gov
ernment supervision is recom
mended by Director of the Census
Steurt in his report, made public
Tuesday. ( «•
“There Ss considerable demand
for statistical information as to
,the quantities of the several
grades of cotton held in stock in
the .United States,” says Mr.
Steurt, "Obviously under ptesenj
condition it is impassible to secure
reliable information of this char
acter, 1 since much of the cotton is
not accurately graded until it
reaches the more important cotton
markets or concentration points
Since practically all the cotton
produced.in the United States en-
■ tered' into either interstate or
foreign commerce it is within the
Local cotton advanced again
Tuesday, middling grade going
from 25 cents,a pound, the price
offered Monday, to 25 3-8 cents a
pound. .
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK — The cotton 'mar
ket was comparatively quiet ear
ly Tuesday with traders evidently
inclined to wait tor the govern
ment crop estimate. The opening
wps steady at a decline of one to
six poins in rspcmse to rather
easier Liverpool cables and there
was a little liquidation of Decem
ber owing to the' circulation of
. - . , . , ■ , ntices representing about 2,000
power of congress to enact legis-1 bales. This gave the early market
t.h™ —k rather m UMettled appearance
but. there was scattered coevring
andl ocal buying: and prices ma£c?
a fairly steady shoTving with Janu
ary .selling up from 24.80 to 24.85
or within four points of yester
day’s cosing'
Tie early bulge- met scattering
with January selling to 24.55 or
liquidation and prices eased off
about 14 to 20 points' net lower
on the more,active positions. Trad
ing around noon was comparatively
particular change of sentiment as
quiet and there seemed to be no
to the probable showing, of the
government crop report It was
reported that private returns indi
lation requiring such cotton to be
graded and stapled under govern
mental regulations at ^central
grading stations. The government
could provide the necessary per
sonnel and facilities! but the cost
of- grading, which probably would
not amount to more than 30 or 40
cents a hale, should be paid by the
owner of the cotton.
“With uniform grading thus
provided for throughout the cotton
growing region, it would be pos
sible £o obtain from the grading
stations the numbers of bales of
the several classes graded, and
frbm consumers and exporters the
numbers of bales of the several
grades consumed and exported.”
Director Steurt recommends re
peal of the provision in an act of
1916 which required quarterly re-
.ports by the census bureau on the
amount of cotton used in the man
ufacture of explosives since such
information is no longer of value.
When the law was passed use of
cotton in explosives was so great
f that it had ?an effect on the price.

speakers at a joint meeting of the
faculties of the University, of
Georgia, State Normal School and
College of Agriculture.
Kepeal of the tax equalization
law under any circumstances was
vigorousjy opposed.
Dr. J. H. T.‘ McPherson, member
of the state trfx commission and
Dr. R. P. Brooks, dean of $he
school of-commerce of the Uniyer-
siyt attacked the general property
tax, declaring it is antiquated dnd
should be abolished.
FULLBRIGHT
SPEAKS
H. J. Fullbright, state tax com
missioner spoke in opposition to
repeal of the tax equalization lew
declaring that its repeal would fall
ipost\ heavily upon the comm® 11

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS — With the
government’* crop .estimate due in
the early afternoon, the cotton
market In the early session Tues
day was a waiting affair. Poor
cables caused recessions of 2 to 7
points around the opening after
which a small raly carried the
most active months 1 to 2 points
over the dose of yesterday, but
at the end of the first half hour of
business enough .liquidation was
coming on the market to depress
It again, and prices fell off to net
declines of 7 to 11 points. Janu
ary traded at high as 24.61 and as
low as 24.55 cents a pound.
A small volume of' liquidation
continued from the long Bide and
kept the market at qntferate de
pressions. Toward noon. prices
were 17 to 19 points dotyn on the
most active months, with January
at 24.43.
Just before the government’s
estimate at one o’clock the market
stood at 24.40 for January. The
period of depression was short and
during dt,- when active months
broke 20 points to 24.20 for Janu
ary, the market stood 38 to 44'
points under the close of yester
day, its lowest level for 'the day.
Heavy buying appeared, carrying
everything before it and strength
ening prices to the extent of more
than $3 a hale.' In the trading up
to 1:30 o’clock January ijas sent
to 24.84, where the list showed
net gains over yesterday’s elo*e
of 19 to 27 points.
