MARKET IN SPAIN* | FOR GOOD GRARS * GOOD MIDDLING AND STRICT MIDDLING PREFERRED. Dial Informed of Needs of Catalo* nia Mills?Careful Grading n . j X\cquircu. P. H. McGowan inv The State. Washington, Nov. 25.?Recently, as is well known, Senator Dial of South Carolina has been in communication through the state department to ascertain the needs of foreign spinners for American cotton, and he is in receipt of a number of interesting communications bearing upon the subject. Some of these, for instance, the following, which he has just received from Barcelona, Spain, points out not only the needs for American cotton, but the drawbacks, deficiencies and mistakes which American exports and shippers make frequently. It is also shown where cotton producers in the South Atlan* tic states must grow a better type of cotton in order to compete with the Egyptian long staple and the Texas variey. Thic mnnidation is exceedingly interesting and very important from every viewpoint, especially to the grower, and is as follows: "As you are undoubtedly aware, practically all the cotton imported into. Spain comes through the main port of Barcelona, a goodly number of the 600 cotton mills being located in the section known as Catalonia, of which -Barcelona is the largest city and port. Even such big mills as the Industria Malaguena of Malaga obtain their raw cotton through Barcelona. ??- ? ? ' - . eaocAn ZJUJUIZ uivL laau cuuiuu there were Imported into fepain 237,121 bales of American cotton, .which W3*s 46,888 bales less than in the 1918-1019 season. Of this amount 95,486 bales proceeded from Galveston, 68,673 bales from New Orleans, no A en -CoTToriTiaK 1<9 559 40)400 UeUC3 xivax 'unvanuaii) am)w> from Charleston, 8,684 from. NewYork, and the remaining 3,263 bales reached here through other routes. "Thus, of the 323,172 bales of cotton imported^ altogether during the last season, it will be seen tnat the majority was supplied by the United States. Likewise, of the 3 j 'J,928 bales imported in the 1918-lUiO seaOO^ AAA fv/Wll fll/ llfiltpfl S'.'Il, Ct O'ijVW ccunc xtvui v.-? ~ States. "The cotton most preferred by Barcelona spinners is Texas, New Orleans and Atlantic states, in the order named. Barcelona buys chiefly what is known in the European market as fully good middling-Liverpool class, which corresponds to the American good middling designation. Second in demand in Barcelona is what is known as Liverpool good middling, equivalent to American strict middling. Lastly, a very small portion of the lower grades is imported. "The Texas cotton, so much in demand here, is of the 28 millimeters staple (or 'hebra,' as the staple is termed in Spanish). It is presumed that your state produces mainly the highly valued long staple sea island cotton. In this connection, I have to state that of Spain's importation of American cotton only about 5 per cent, is sea island. When sea island cotton is needed here, it is said that Egyptian cotton is employed in its stead. From inquiries on the subject under consideration, the possible high price of your superior sea island is one of the two sole obstacles with TVhich it would appear that your, project is confronted. Howeve^ if ^ou have in mind the exportation of a grade of cotton which can be sold at a little under the price of Texas cotton and be approximately of a 28 millimeters staple, the question of such a drawback is, of course, at once removed. "The other possible hindrance to your plan of selling: and shipping directly to the merchants here without the intermediation of the NewYork houses, is the possibility that your producers have not realized that + i i- -1.1 it is absolutely necessary max mu cotton offered to Spain be carefully graded into the classifications standard in the cotton market.

Washington, Nov. 27.?Because j cooperative organizations are exempt ' - lo,iro I irom application ui <iuti*iiuob ia*>o | the department of justice has given , no consideration to the campaign for I the withholding of crops from the | markets until prices advance, it was j said tonight by Frank K. Nebeker, j special assistant to the attorney geni eral in charge of anti-trust prosecutions. % Mr. Nebeker's explanation of the department's attitude followed the f ref flhiirlps S>_ Bar !CtCIll> 3iattinv.au va rett, president of the National Farmers' union, that he understood that federal agents were attempting to obtain evidence for prosecutions in Kansas, Iowa and other Middle Western states. The Clayton anti-trust act, Mr. Nebeker said, expressly provides that agricultural organizations not - - * ? -? J having capitar stocK or conaucieu xui profit, can not be construed as conspiracy in restraint of trade. Withholding of crops from market for personal profit, Mr. Nebeker assert ed, probably would not be held as organization profits. f * Mr. Nebeker also explained that j the limitations on the appropriation act for the enforcement of the antitrust laws would seem to preclude onfinn aoninst the farmers, inasmuch Mvv*v" ~e?;? ? | as the act specifies that no part of j the appropriations shall be expended for the prosecution of farmers who 4 cooperate to obtain a fair and rea[ | sonable price for their products. The construction as tP what is a fair price for the various farm products, P Mr. Nebekir declared, would, however, probably govern in any specific j case that might arise as, it would seem that since the present laws for(| bid prosecution where the effort to ' I -u?;? 0 -f0;r nrifp conversely at Iuuvam u r tempts to obtain unfair and unreasonable prices would be contrary to 1 the law. * College New*.
