BALING OF COTTON.
Liverpool's Recommendation for Dis-
crimination Causing Consider-
able Comment.
MOVEMENT FOR REFORM.
It Originated in Liverpool and That Center Is
Still Exerting; Its Influence—All
Must Come to it.
The following letter, received in Galves-
ton and published in The News, is causing
considerable comment:
Liverpool Cotton Association, Limited.—
Cotton Protective Department.—41) Brown's
Buildings, Liverpool, May 24, 1895.—The
Maritime Association, Galveston, Tex.—
Dear Sirs: I am requested to acknowledge
receipt of your letter of 23d instant and to
say that my committee strongly approves
and upholds the action taken by the Gal-
veston maritime association and kindred
bodies as to bagging, and they will issue
a circular to our members recommending
them to discriminate against cotton not
packed in accordance with the circular of
April 15 issued by the maritime associa-
tion. Referring you to* copy of cablegram
at foot, I am, dear sirs, yours faithfully,
H. LLOYD JONES,
Assistant Secretary Cotton Association.
All cotton men with whom it was possi-
ble to secure an interview yesterday gave
it as their opinion that the action of Liver-
pool was the thing that would bring about
the desired results. One gentleman called
attention to the fact that the Liverpool
exchange simply recommends, thus leaving
the matter at the discretion of the Liver-
pool cotton dealer. The weight of a rec-
ommendation by the Liverpool exchange
is not known, but it will probably be suffi-
cient to make cotton raisers, factors, buy-
ers and shippers very cautious this season.
The circular of April 15, referred to in
the letter, is as follows:
The Galveston Maritime Association.—
To Farmers, Ginners, Cotton Shippers,
Carriers, Manufacturers of Bagging and
the General Public Interested in the Better
Handling of Cotton: Galveston, Tex., April
15, 189;").— Considering the numerous and un-
doubtedly well merited complaints being
made at the mill points regarding the enor-
mous loss in weight sustained on Texas
cotton, and the wretched condition gener-
ally in which it is received, it is impera-
tive that all parties interested in the chief
product of our state should take concerted
action to rectify the causes attributable
thereto, which are as follows:
The non-uniform size of the bales; the
insufficient quantity and strength of the
bagging used to adequately protect the cot-
ton and retain distinguishable marks; and
the want of the proper number of strong
ties to prevent the bales from bursting.
Therefore, in order to bring about much
needed reforms'in the handling of cotton
ficm the time it is ginned until delivered
at the mills, so it may bring the highest
price to which it is, with due care, entitled,
we beg to call your attention to the fol-
lowing rules adopted by the New Orleans
maritime convention, now promulgated by
this association, composed of the various
fillip agents at the port of Galveston, which
will take effect August 1. 1895, viz:
1. All ocean freight quotations will be
based upon a compressed density of twen-
ty-live pounds of cotton per cubic foot,
when delivered alongside the vessel.
2. The tize of a standard bale of cotton
as put up at the gins shall be as follows:
Twenty-eight inches boxed width and
fifty-eight inches boxed length.
3. All cotton shall be covered entirely
with bagging weighing not less than 2%
pounds per running yard, and bound with
eight good iron or steel ties.
4. All bales of larger dimensions and cov-
ered with bagging of less weight or bound
with less number of ties will be charged
with additional ocean freight, or rejected
as being in unmerchantable condition for
ocean carrying. Yours very truly, \
IJAN'L RIPLEY, PresMent.
The agitation was started In Galveston
on January 30, and based upon complaints
from Liverpool that American cotton was
badly baled. Photographs of American
cotton and Indian cotton were shown about
the cotton exchange, the comparison being
odious so far as American cotton was con-
cerned. The result was that the cotton ex-
change passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, the insufficient covering of
American cotton by material of inferior
quality is notorious, and the ragged condi-
tion of the bales, when landed at ports of
discharge and at mill points, has become a
constant source of loss and inconvenience
to shippers and consignees, be it
Resolved, that from and after September
1, 1895, all bales of the new crop covered
with less than six yards of 44-inch bag-
ging, of a lighter weight than 2% pounds
minimum per yard, shall be declared un-
merchantable unless re-covered properly
at the expense of seller.
Resolved further, that this rule be
brought to the attention of all bagging
manufacturers of the country with the
request and recommendation that for the
ensuing year they manufacture cotton bag-
ging of above standard weight of liber
only, woven sufficiently close, and calen-
dered to such a degree as to permit of the
clear and distinct marking of the bales.
Resolved further, that the attention of
tie manufacturers be directed to the/ im-
portance of making steel ties and buckles
out of the best material only and not light-
er than 45 pounds per bundle of 30 ties of
11 to 11 Vi feet in length.
Resolved further, that a copy of these
resolutions and memorial be mailed to
every ginner in Texas, and the press be
requested to give them the widest possible
publicity among farmers.
It is also recommended to all ginners to
adopt a .uniform box for baling cotton of
60 inches in length, and 28 inches in width,
which dimensioptf experience has proved to
be the most suitable for compressing of the
bales, as well as for their transportation
in railroad cars and stowage by vessels.
The present irregularity of the gin boxes
is the cause of much of the poor compress-
ing and loss of space to the carrier, result-
ing in higher freights to the detriment of
the farmer, and serves as an excuse, al-
though totally unwarranted, for the pluck-
ing and cutting of bales by stevedores of
vessels.
Twenty-five hundred copies of these reso-
lutions were printed and sent to all ex-
changes throughout this country and Eu-
rope, to the leading dallies of the country,
each railroad In Texas was supplied with
seventy-five copies to be distributed among
their agents, the cotton factors were sup-
plied with copies which were sent to their
customers in the interior with the request
that the farmers be notified, and a thou-
sand were sent out to the bagging fac-
tories. The resolutions and the circular
letter which accompanied them gained a
wide circulation and the evidence is that
the result has been toward good. The ac-
tion of the maritime association shortly
afterward tended to assist very materially
in the good work. That good has been
done is evidenced by the statement yes-
terday of Mr. W. S. Davis, secretary of the
bagging factory.
"We are working full time, night and
day, and are making 2%-pound bagging.
We have a large stock on hand at present
ready for shipment. The difference in cost
to the consumer between 1%-pound and 2*4-
pound bagging is 1 cent a yard, or 6 cents
a bale. To the mill it makes no difference
which bagging it sells, although at present
we are making only 2l4-pound bagging. We
will change the weight if the change Is de-
manded by the trade, but so far nearly 95
per cent of the orders are for 2^4-pound
Sagging, indicating that the consumers
are complying with the circular."
Mr. C. Rodewaid Byrne, the cotton buyer,
in speaking of the additional cost to the
farmer, said that he would make money
bv putting on better bagging. "The bag-
ging is cheaper than the cotton and yet he
gets paid for it. He will make something
like 12 or 15 cents on a bale. If Liverpool
declines to receive cotton baled contrary to
the rule it will work to a reform in baling.
Havre. Milan and all other ports are de-
pendent upon Liverpool, so that if Liver-
pool rejects poorly baled cotton there will
be no market for it. Should Liverpool
make a deduction for non-conformance to
the rule the American shipper will be
called upon to make good the loss, and he
in turn will look out in future that he does
not get caught again. It all eventually
oomes back on the farmer. We are de-
pendent upon Liverpool, and If she insists
on strict compliance to the rule we shall
have to comply to protect ourselves."
Mr. J. C. S. Spencer spoke more particu-
larly of the necessity for unanimity in ac-
tion. "We can not bring about a reform in
the 'baling of cotton unless we all pull to-
gether. Galveston can not reject cotton*
improperly baled When New Orleans takes
it in any shape." He, however, conceded
that Liverpool's action would force the Is-
sue here.
Mr. I. H. Kempner, cotton factor, said:
"The trouble is that there has been no
positive action. As you notidK the letter
says that they will recommend their mem-
bers to discriminate against cotton improp-
erly baled. We have had a great deal of
correspondence on the subject and have
advised our correspondents that it is safer
to comply with the rule than to have to
pay for reballng. The compresses charge
80 cents a bale for putting on new bagging
entirely. The trouble is that there are
buyers in the interior who are thoroughly
unreliable. The farmer takes his cotton to
the gin. where it is often ginned for the
seed. The ginner puts on the cheapest bag-
ging and ties that he may get the most
for his seed. The farmer takes the bale to
the merchant, who probably on the same
day sells it to the buyer. The buyer may
have a foreign order and ships the cotton
direct to the seashore. If the bagging
holds until it is put aboard the ship that
is all he cares about. But with a responsi-
ble dealer it is different. Cotton shipped
in bad condition from the interior can be
rebaled here at the cost of the man in the
interior."
