Hulls sl6 per ton, 7 per cent GERMAN COTTON MILLS TO TAKE MILLION BALES IF DEAL IS FINANCED. Ten Million Spindles in Germany Ready to Begin Operation as Soon as Labor Troubles Cease and Cotton Is Received. % Washington, July 28.—German cotton mills with 10,000,000 spind les estimated as still suitable for operation, can consume about 1,- 000,000 bales of cotton during the next year, if means arc found to finance the movement of the com modity from the United States, said a report by Erwin W. Thomp son, commercial attache of the bu reau of foreign and domestic com merce, made public tonight. Mr. Thompson outlined a plan by which Danish and Dutch trad ers may be furnished e.tinn for re sale to Germany and allowed to assume a part of the credit risk. Out of 4,067,018 bales of cotton in storage in the United States on June 30, he estimated a very large proportion was classified in the lower grades, which are especially suuitable for German mills. “At this time the German mills eager buyers for the lowest grades,” Mr. Thompson’s report said, pointing out that dur ing the war they have L:an operat ing on w- ;tes, shoddy, nettle fiber and paper, owing to the pressure of the blockade. “Cotton experts are agreed that the cotton in public store in the United States is nearly all of gra des below those most desired by domestic mills.” Declaring that the problem for the American producers and hold ers of cotton was to find a way to offer large assorted stocks of cot ton to the German spinners, and at the same time he secured for the value of their property, Mr. Thompson said that warehouses and exchange facilities in Rotter dam, Holland, now were available for handling such a trade. “Several strong trading com panies in Rotterdam are in a posi tion to handle and finance cotton into Germany as fast as they can consume it,” he said. “Matters can be so arranged with them that American bankers can finance the cotton in any amount into safe warehouses in Holland and the Hollanders can arrange their own credits for delivery to German spinners in lots to suit their week ly or monthly requirements. “Owing to great labor troubles at the moment it would he hard to start up spinning at full capacity, even if the cotton were on the spot. But it is estimated that with in a few months after cotton be gins to arrive the mills could use 40.000 hales a month.” Danish traders are also willing, Mr. Thompson reported, to resume handling cotton into Russia, and would also stand willing to join in supplying Germany.
