. The Maritime Associations have
wdopted rules effective the coming sea
son, and state that they will be abso
lutely ard stridtly enforced. General
~meetings have been held in the south
in Atlanta, Savannah, Memphis Birm
ingham and other points by the bank
ers, railroads, compresees, and ship
pers to discuss these rules or have
them modified or postponed at least
one season., The Martime Association
after hearing from the different inter
ests at a joint meeting in Birmingham,
declined to either modify or postpone
the enforcement of these rules as
promnlgated by theém. In self protec
tion the railroads are forced to adopt
the same rules, and exceptions will be
made on bills of lading where cotton
does not crme up to the present speci
fications and rules:
Rule 1. Not thoroughly covered.
Rule 2. Covering not sufficient to
retain mark. 4
Rule 3. More or less wet.
Rule 4. More or less stained.
Rule 5. More or less soiled.
In explaining rule cne, it must be
understocd that this refers to a com
pressed bale and does not mean that
the bale must have what is known as
side strips on it. When the bale is
compressed the size is so reduced that
the bagging then meets and covers the
biule, Tocomply with this and other
ruies in reference to condition of eot
ton, it will be necessary to put put six
yards on'the bazle at the gin, of good
strong baguing, free from sample
holes and that the ends be well sewed
up. All ocean freight engagements
will be based upon a standard bale gin
box 27x54 inches and any bale larger
than this will not be bought except at
8 reduction of $1 per bale, te cover
extra freight ussessed the buyer by
the steamship company. Further, any
bale that cannot be compressed to a
density of 221 and 2 tenth pounds per
cubie foot, even if 27x51 inches in size
will not be bought except at a reduction
of 50 cents per bale to cover exrra
freight assessed the buyer by the
steamship company.
Because of the Martime Association,
the buyers will be forced not to buy
bales above standard size, except at
said reduction of 'sl per bale. Bales
under 400 pounds cannot be compressed
to the required density, and bales
weighing between three and four hun
dred pounds will not be bought exeept
at a reduction of 50 cents per bale,
Bales under 300 pounds are not mer
chantable. To avoid these reductions
and serious trouble on account of the
foregoing rules and regulations, we
urge the farmers and ginners to press
their colton to the standard size and
take special care of the bale, to see
that the condition of cotton 13 proper
when marketed.
The Georgia State Bankers Associ
ation has issned a cireular calling at
tention to these matters, and circulars
similar to the aboye are being issued
everywhere in the cotton belt,
