PK AK DIKK'S PLAN MAY RAISE WITTO* PRICE Rosten Mill Treasurer Thinks lt Plan Resigned to Help Cotton Grower. . o - o ' New Bedford, May 19.-The fear ls I expressed in New England cotton mill [Circles that tho so-called Duke ware house plan for storing cotton will tend to raise the price of the staple without bringing any compensating I advantages to the manufacturers. In quiry among mill men in New UedforcV Fall River and Boston brings out tho fact that those, who have given tho Duke plan any consideration are in clined to 'ix* Hkepiicai about Its ef fect on the Northern mills and as yet at least are not enthusing over it to any great extent . ' * "It ls all very well for the Southern manufacturera to be enthusiastic over the proposition" said a Boston mill treasurer this week, "but I, as a New, Englander am not quito so entl uslas tic about it-not as I R-V it toduy. Trie Idea seems to be to help the growers, merchants and southern manufactur ers keep thc cot i oii iii the ?Sou in. This ls to h.) accomplished by a large sys tem of wsrehouses^hder eofborass control, whose warehouse receipts wit) guarantee by well known banking es tablishments and will eemmand a vary .low rate of interest. The tendencv of that sort of thing would certainly be to enhance the price of cotton, in my opinion." "At present" the Bosio:i mill trt ap urer continued, "the Southern planter aa a rule either tinda it desirable or necessary to dispose of a large part of the cotton crop within the first few mon Mia after lt is picked. Southern manufacturers whose mills are loesAso in the midst of the Cotton growing onction And thc planters ali around them sro sending -their-cotton to the large concentrating points, thru the South, northward to New England, or to Atlantic or gulf p>i?liv for es.-, .port. Unless the Southern saes cf ac I tm. r h uv : carly in Ute season and I pay? a high rate of interest to carry the cotton he loses c otton luter in the I season lie ha? to pick up ills ^ippiiea hire and there and ship them hack to thu milla, paying the freight rate?. The Duke plan would enable thc farmers and the merchants and tho Southern manufacturers to carry cotton at a very low rate of int'Teat and so help them to bold the cotton hi tile terri tory in Whit h u, grows and might he consumed." New England cotton manufacturer.-, have been forced to realize the grow ing ind -peudence of the South during the paar few years. As the Southern pluntrrs 1iuve raised large crops and marketed'them nt high prices, ono ufier another, the Southerners hov.? .become more and more able to hold out firmly for their rights and Ideas ' ol cotton values. Hrokers In the Now ! England mill centers have not found ? lt ;;o -UHV to Dring the shipper and I manufacturer together hy concessions I us lt wu? yearn ago. Then- have been J less Offerings of distress cotton for ced onto the markt?! ho.* .i::< - Southern banker.-, refused to carry ? lunger or because the plantera had to linaine tiie < new crop ut planting time. New En- < gland manufacturers are inclined to tho opinion that, the Duke plan of 11 Htoring codon in the South will tend ? to make the Southern planters and i merchants more independent. < Now England manufacturara recog- I nico the need or greater warehouse 1 facilities iii the So:ith to prevent the < damage or cotton by exposure to the ? weather; but many are Inclined to, 1 think that the advantage of an elton-1 ' Hive Southern warehouse ayHtem from 1 tills standpoint would be offset by the ability which it would give the South < to hold for prices. Those New E.ig- ' land manufacturers who are accus- " terned to huy a large part of the KOU- . wm's needs early In the season aro not ? In any degree handicapped either hy 1 credit or considerations or warehouse * fa -Hilles in this part of the courtly. ? New England mills carry cotton either ' on their gene's! credit or thryugu the * hrokers.

( .ich ts that he will not .remove the 1 cotton rrom the warehouse while tho J certificate is outstanding, the broker ! then takes the certificate and the 1 warehouse receipt to thc bank and j the bank lends money up to a certain ' percentage of the valu.- of the cotton.
