New Law Recently Passed jl ,'IEWS OF MR. LEVER I Mil Introduced in Senate byjl Senator Smith and Amend- jS ed by Congressman Lever B The United States cotton futures P ct, passed by congress last August J J! vent into ciFcct Feb. 18. The Score- j 8 ary of t he treasury and the secretaryj8 f agriculture have promulgated rules'H nd regulations for the administration , ft f the new law. The feature cf theB ct is the imposition of a prohibitive ! t| xcise tax of two cents per pound up jg ?n the execution of contracts for tho j fj uture delivt ry of cotton in the event hat the forms of contract decs not ^ onform in every detail to the specifi- i ? ations and eruditions enumerated in K lie act and the regulations. Tito law Ff a applicable to orders for the r do of {/?' American cotton I'm* future end very !" vhich is re-transmitted to exchanges ocated in foreign countries. Sales of ^ ;pot cotton are exempt from taxation. Under the now law all of the cx-j |l hanger of the country will be obliged Fj o usa a uniform classification of j^ grades of cotton in accordance with | ho set of official standard types so- | ecled and fixed by the secretary of ' igvieulture. Heretofore the various a exchanges have had their individual ? lassifications, a particular grade hav- , ? ng different designations upon differ-, 2 mt exchanges. It is the expectation | >f the Washington authorities and the i; lope ot tile JNew York excnange oi-'ffl icials that eventually the United |B states government standards will be J | uiopted by ail the exchanges of thelgj vorld, thus becoming an international standard. The law also uniformly lE ixes tlie character of cotton that may Cj| md may not be delivered upon con- E .ract, special provision being made to A he ofTcct that staple less than seven- H lights of an inch in ength shall not U ic delivered in settlement of any con- | K :ract. Cotton of the grade known as "mid- ' H iling" has always been the basis for'w luotations for future delivery of cot- ? .011 made on the exchange and, inas- $ nuch as it is permissible to deliver $ - otton of grades other than middling' gj i system for adjusting the differences ; 0 n value of the various grades has to ! ?j Ye provided for. In the past the New IB fork cotton exchange used the so- R aled 'fixed difference system;" that s, a committee of the exchange met! - it suited intervals and arbitrarily de-! t. xrmii.ed upon a scale of differences j* availing ilsell' of all possible infcrmalecmed necessary for arriving at the ^ lesired results. The New Orleans n exchange has had in force the "com- f licrcial difference system" which con templates the ascertainment of the re v lative values of the various grades f from actual prices paid for the re spec j( live grades in spot cotton transact- ? ions. Under the cotton futures act c ill exchanges will determine the diff- r ferences in grade on the commercial iiasiS) the law providing that the rela- ^ Live values sliould be calculated from p actual spot market quotations recciv- q sd from particular spot markets de- r sig-nated by ti.o secretary of agricul- 0 Lure. These differences arc to be ad- p justed daily. p The law provides that in case of j a i dispute arising between a person s making a tender of cotton and a per-' i 5011 receiving the same, as to the qual- j, ity, grade or length of the staple, cith rr party may refer the question to the f secretary of agriculture for deter- (j nination. (j Mr. Lever's Views. n The Bill was? introduced in the senate by Senator E. D. Smith, and ,vas amended in the house by Mr. Lev^r. The latter in discussing the new a aw says: h "Of course 1 am greatly interested ? ? 1 .o see how the cotton futures act will p vork out practically. The act is the 2 Elimination of long years of agitation B 'or the complete abolition of futures ;rading in cotton. During my service ?] n the house that body has twice k 1 U.'ll.. 1- i? /-r- . r jusstu uins wnicn in tneir eiicci ^ vould have closed up the cotton ex- 9 changes of this country. The senate j. icted like wise once when the Under- y vood tariff bill passed that body. This ,t< ict represents what I believe to be a air and reasonable compromise beween those who desire the destruc- S ion of the exchanges and those- Who tl vislies no interference whatever with j heir operations. I p "The bill Was passed only after it i o Kid undergone the scrutiny of . the c? >cst experts available to the commit- ( ^ ,ee handling the bill, and while i< < nay have its imperfectio s and v.iil o irobably need to be amended in some ' egard 1 sun confident' that its effect vill be wholesome for the entire cot ' on trade and will rt the same time mnsrrably satisfy all elements of ho trade. 1 b the pmctiw'l eS oct of t; :'.c e:;tlv to t ulr.nco C . diT'; poi Ct' vo.t, .\*.:nd ! y. nso c! <s i ) n the ihiic.eac j ? a alue e ' v ; ' style contract dj '? he now styu .. %v l oio.g* c./c\\ upo .' ^ il_j !! ii 1 ? ?-w?? itmnixaiiMiwwrww Via j | |i i | ? j PRINTERS, PU1 I When you r Envelopes, E the printing We have a! | Faces and a . | ! i bpi & Ho 'Phone No. 21 CONWAY, i I nwn??iwnMinmw ? * s0mm mwmtm ertain exchanges. a difference rf rom $1 to $2 per bale. "I have been extremely gratified at he spirit of co-operation shown by ficmbers of the exchanges and by , he trade generally in preparing to ;ive the law a full and fair trial. No k'ord of complaint has ccmc to me as o the hardships of any of its provisos except Section 11, and the com- \ ilaint as to this section, in my presnt opinion, is not founded upon good j eason. "The whole purpose of this law is o compel the use of such a contract y the cotton future markets, the, uotations of the value of which wilii eflect accurately and truly the vaiu j f spot cotton, of spinnable and us a le quality. If it accomplishes thai' iurpose, it will satisfy the pro.it" rind consumers of cotton and at tin ; ame time put an end to the agiia-J ion for the abolition of future d ui igs in cotton.
