Manufacturers Object to Publication o.
Reports on Estimates.
Fall River Mass. f Dec. 0.—The lo
cotton manufacturers express
selves as greatly dlssatls-fied with thj
government’s system of Issuing cotton
reports, and some of them are asking
that action be taken by the manufac
turers of New England looking toward
its abolishment.
It was pointed out here today that
one of the largest firms of cotton brok
ers in the country, with headquarters
at Philadelph^, has been asking its
customers to sugn petitions to the gov
ernment, looking toward the same end.
One of the mill officials said today:
"The immediae effect of the report
in this manufacturing center has been
to reduce the wage margin 6 per cent,
to stifle the demand for cloth, and to
upset the calculations of mill men who
have been trying to buy cotton from
southern planters at some fixed price.
"Telegrams received from the south
show that planters are relying on the
accuracy of the government report to
such an extent that they will not offer
their product below the speculative
figures fixed on the New York ex
change, and in most instances they
say that they do not care to accept or
ders at the top prices, for the present
at least.”
It is understood that the manufac
turers object to the publication of in
complete reports based upon estimates.
