To persons not familiar with the technical sido of cotton gradins-and this means Incidentally many men who make thoir livings producing the staple -such terms as "strict good ordinary,'" "low middling" and "middling fair," often encountered in print, aro a mean ingless jumble of words. Less than three year* ago-as u matter o? fnr% until Uncle 8am came to' the rescue the terms meant little enough in the most technical phases of tho cotton trade. Nearly every ono of tho largo "spot" cotton markets of the country-, where actual bales of cotton are bought and sold-had n different acuerno of grading, aud a ?till different system w?s employed In Liverpool, long the j chief cotton market of tho world. The variations g%ve risc to endless disput?e acd the loss of much time and money. Attempt:* had been made from time to time hy various associations to reach an agreemeut as tu standards, but bad never proved succeasf ut, Many experienced cotton dealer? believed that j variations among cotton grown in vari OU8 sect lom; of the south was so great that the formulation of a satisfactory system of grades uf universal applica tion would bc impossible. Under authority of congress, how? ever, the then newly created o?ieo or mu rho ta or the department ot. agricul ture took up thc problem in 1014 and established stn nd a n\u that ' hnvo not only met with practically universal ac ccptnnce lb' the linked States, but j that have been accepted to a certain estent irv tho chief foreign cotton mnr keb*.
