"The natural result of this order Is
that those mills which have on band
all the supplies they are allowed to
carry, are temporarily out of the mar

accordingly.
It should be clearly and distinctly

simply as a statement of facts con

that the railroads will take this mat

"It is impossible, of course, for any
one to tell what manipulators, taking
advantage of the last opportunity
that may be offered them, will be able
lo do with the market; but it is and
always has been the opinion of this
bureau that tho price of cotton seed
should be maintained on practically
the same parity with hog lard. Be
fore the war began and since cotton
seed oil ha a sold at 2 cents a pound
talned that position; now It Is selling
at 8 cents a pound less than hog lard,
and the difference is too great. It Is
that sooner or later It will take it,

"My opinion has not not changed
ono iota with regard to the value of
this crop, I believe It worth 30 cents

you will see It at that figure. Every
statement we have made about this
situation, has been borne out bo de
velopments, and those who hold their
cotton now, 1 am confident will cer
tainly congratulate themselves that
they did so.”
As the result of a recent conference
with railroad officials In Savannah,
the Georgia State Bureau of Markets
now feels confident that "milling in

ceiver, car number. Initials and rout
ing, contents and the particular con
dition concerning which inspection Is
requested.

service. An Inspection certificate will

or mailed to the shipper or his reprs-
si ntatives. Upon request of the ship
per or his representative all or part
of the contents of the inspection cer
tificate will ,be telegraphed to him at
his expense.

10, 1917, authorises the secretary of
agriculture to Investigate and certify
to shippers the condition as to sounl-
ness of fruits and vegetables and oth
er food products, when received at
