When ho began these efforts the south had sonethink like thrce mliu lion bales of coton which it had car ried over from last season, and lie thought it important to restore rela tions with the different countries of the world which usC our cotton and get it Out of this country as fast as possible. Senator Dial said in part: The peo IPl0 of this country bought all the bonds they could carry and they ex Pected help) from tho banks. They had the cotton on hand and expected the War Iinan-e Co poratlon to fi et ion until they coil I tulrnl tieJir cot(mi in to cash and pay tlei r debts.

Dear Sir: We are continually receiving x ces.-; tare claims oin cotton shipped out of Lattrelis and they, aiount to an aver age of 6i pounds a bale. You (in read ily see that this will necessitate our rednled g otr limits sharply ill your miarket. We suggest that you take this matter IlIp with thle couity grader who is supposed to be a disinterested party. You can also bring it to the attention of your Chamber of Com Imerce and Convince them 'that the method of using the kind of bagging that Is being used at your gins will eventually in11111 your market. I know several buyers who have quit buying there solely on this account, and It looks like we will have to do likewise.
