March 34.?The estab? lishment under the terms oi the United State* Cotton Futures Act of offtctal cotton standards for the Unit? ed States has been accompanied by an earnest effort to secure the adop? tion of these standards by the cotton trade in Europe as well as In this country. A brief history of this move? ment Is contained in Service and Reg? ulatory Announcements No. 7 of the Office of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture, which has Just been published. Although the attempt to secure the adoption abroad of the now American official standards was not altogsther successful, this new publication shows that much has been accomplished to? ward .bringing about uniformity of standards. For various reasons the Liverpool Cotton Association did not see fit to adopt the American official standards, by. has revised its stand? ard to a form which is said to accord at least 1ft value with the American standards and which replace by a single set the three sets formerly in use, representing respectively up? land, gulf and Texas cotton. This triple standard seems to have grown up in Liverpool betwoen 1S33 and 1913. It seems also to have been the result of a process of evolution caused by the Increasing necessities of the cotto i trade and was built UP from time to time by the addition of types or boxes of standards. When the United States Cotton Fu? tures Act was passed and exports be gnn the work of preparing the new standards required, the desirability of securing universal adoption for the now standards was recognized. For reasons given In dotall In Ser? vice and Regulatory Announcements No. 7, however, it was fou 1 " ido siraldo to adopt the Liverpoo. stand? ard h for upland cotton. In order, therefore, to explain the proposed American standards and to urge their udoption In England, Germany and France, two members of the Depart? ment of Agriculture visited Europe In the fall of 1914. I A number of conferences with rep? resentatives of the Liverpool Cotton Association were held and It seemed at one time probable that this asso? ciation would adopt the American standards, one or two minor changes having been made at their request. Tho association, however, was Uf - willing to tako definite action until March 1. 191 ft. It was iinposiiible un? der the law for the American govern? ment to defer until thut date the promulgation of the American stand? ards and accordingly no agreement on standards with Liverpool was reach? ed. On December IB, 1914, the official cotton st&ndi nl* of tho United States wore established and promugltaed and ; their use on the future exchanges be? came practically compulsory on Feb? ruary 18, 1915. They have been adopted voluntarily by all of the leading spot cotton exchanges .of the United States. The representatives of the depart? ment also visited Bremen and Havre and conferred with German and French eottoi) merchants in regard to the adoption of the American standards by those exchanges. The Havre exchange has taken no action, but the question is still open with Bremen and that exchange has stated Its expectation of adopting the stand? ards if they prove to be suited to the conditions of the cotton trade at Bremen. It is believed that these conferences did much to promote uniformity in cotton grades for the future, but owing to the disturbed conditions caused by the war no defi? nite agreements were possible. PREPARE FOR PYTHIANS. Plncwood Expects to Have Big Recep? tion for Visitors. Plnewood, March 23.?One of the largest reception given here in Py? thian circles for seasons will be the one given here mid-night March 30th to tho grand lodge officers and dele? gates in attendance here for the occa? sion of the annual meeting of the 6th district convention with this lodge for the first time. All the commit? tees have taken upon themselves to make the banquet a never-to-be-for? gotten success, the universal slogan at this time. Preparedness Is the town/t slogan to receive the visitors. A full representation from each lodge In the district Is looked for and ar? rangements have oeen completed for their entctrainment. On account of the late arrival of the trains at night ?10 o'clock?delegates from George? town, Lugoff, Camden and other dis? tant points had best leave home on 2'Jth, if they intend to come by rail; if they motor across, come either by Surutcr or Manning. HFItKLUA HASN'T DESERTED. American Consul at Cliihnahua Wires That Curranza Commander Is There Washington, -March 24.?Consul IiOtchcr at Chihuahua, wired the State department today that Gen. Herrera is there With his troops and the re? ports that ho had deserted were un? founded. Consul Letchcr's message was tho first direct word from Chihuahua In two days. Its rocelpt caused much relief, officials accepting It as proof that Carrunza still has control of his forces. After the cabinet meeting officials stated that tho situation as a whole is much better. Messages from both the east and west coasts of Mexico report every? thing quiet. Thore L no word from Tamplco, however, and tho possibility that Americans are in danger thore caused somo uneasiness. The cabinet meeting determined to oppose the Sherman resolution author? izing volunteers but an understanding was arrived at whereby a similar res? olution can quickly pass if necessary.
