Cotton Merchant Calls Attention
To Guaranteed Weight of Cotton Bales
on Contracts Sold Ahead By Farmers
The Herald is in receipt of inter
esting letter from the local manager of
one of Augusta's biggest cotton concerns
in regard to the weight of bales guar
anteed by farmers who have sold cotton
ahead for future delivery.
The Herald has recently been publish
ing a good many crop estimates from
farmers and merchants in th«* section
of Georgia and South Carolina. One of
the Herald correspondents in comment
ing on farmers selling part of their
crop ahead fm~ future delivery made the
point that early ginning reports would
be heavier and the weight of bales av
erage lighter this season in order for
farmers to meet these contracts, in case
the price was higher, etc.
In comemnting on this in a recent is
sue the Herald said:
“The average price for which these fu
ture delivery sales were made seems to
be twelve cents, and as showing how al
ready this new departure will affect the
cotton business is the prediction of one
observant farmer that cotton bales this
season will average lighter Weight than
ordinarily. This conclusion is drawn
from the belief that the price of cotton

hasn’t anything to do with it. It
is the biggest hoodoo day in the cal

due to oijcur this year.
There are some people who went
on the job Friday morning in igno
rance of the fact that today every
body's luck is bad, but they very early
in the day discovered that, something
had gone wrong. Later they discov

will be above the contract price, an#
that naturally the farmer will make the
bales he has contracted to deliver at a
fixed price as small as possible, in or
der to hiTVe as much left as possible to
sell for the expecteu higher spo’ price.
“While this would seem hardly fair
to the buyers it would be quite natural,
and if future selling for actual delivery
by the farmers becomes the established
rule this could easily be prevented by
adopting a standard weight for bales. "
In commenting on this, the manager
of one of the cotton firms of the city,
says:
“If a buyer buys from a farmer now
for forward delivery the contract always
reads “the seller must deliver an av
erage bale of 500 pounds w’.Vi an allow
ance of 1 per cent variation.
“This means, if he sells fifty of
cotton the total weight of the fifty bales
must be within I per cent of 25,000 lbs.
If the bales are light and it takes more
than fifty bales to make this weight fie
w-.. have to deliver the number of bales
necessary to make the above average
weight good.’’

ANNUAL REGATTA OF
THE LAKESIDE CLUB.
One of the most interesting so
cial events of the season will be the
annual regatta of the Lakeside club,
which will be held Friday, August
20th.
This will be the first event of that
kind since the reorganization of the
club. There are about 100 boats
owned by the club members and al
most every member has signified his
intention of entering the regatta.
Great rivalry exists as to who shall
win the prizes offered, which are
three beautiful silver cups.
Mr. Roy Goodwin offers a cup for
the prettiest boat in line.
Mr. E. S. Johnson one for the most
unique decoration.
The club one for the best decorated
launch.
After the regatta the members and
their friends will participate in a
dance, music to be furnished by a
full brass band.
The committees in charge are work
ing hard to make this event a grand
success.
