Compressing- and Warehousing Cotton ana Other Improvements by a Strong Company, with Sully as President. [Special dispatoh to Manufacturer's Kocord.) St. Louis, Mo , June 29.?It will be remembered that some six weeks sgo Daniel J. Sully, the temporarily dethroned cotton king, announced that he had quit the "pit" forever and would henceforth devote himself to the work of introducing improvements in cotton raising and handling. In accordance with this determination, all the papers were signed here today in the organization of a gigantic company, whose ohj?-ot is to develop cotton-handling on a vast scale. The Southern Cotton Corporation will be the name of the company, Willi a capitalization of $20,000,000 ? $r>,000.000 preferred stock and $15,000,000 common. Sully will be president.. The company is being financed by men of undoubted strength and uromineuce in the financial world, who will lie actively identified with its management. The fundamental feature will be baling a', the ginhouse, Sullv having some time since secured control of the Whitman square bale cotton press, which it is proposed to manufacture and sell. Othei operations of the company include further radical improvements in cottonhandlin&all'toe way from the field to the factory. 'Improved methods of culture, better .grinning, a process of Qna baling flf'-4|p"gin which obviates tlx necessity for further compressing, aDd ? great^warehousing system extendinj over^the whole country's territory vyjiioh wilj.store cotton and issue receipti on which local as well as outside banks c tn loan with absolute safety, are amonf ' the innovations which the compauy wil \ f introduce. Ji After an examination of the Whilmai Xyilare-bale press and its products Mr 4pbu E^jSearles, the one time sugar kin| and promoter, if not the father of the rcrO^d cotton bale, made aomia sion to.his friends today regarding tbi superiority of the Whitman baler, tha were of utmost importance to the entin cotton world. Mr. Searles, Mill one o the largest stockholders in the Araericai Cotton Co., which owns the patent fo producing the roundlap bale, has recent ly been invited by many leading stock holders of the American Cotton Co. t< return to tbe management of that com pany, and he lias under consideration the acceptance of tbe offer and the prob able reorganiza!*"- "7 ut ctx. vxjrwr uy ~iho cuP'oh4"" flJapi the comnimv Record some weeks ago concerning . tb organization by Daniel J. Sully of a cet ton-handling company, together will ' Mr. Sully's declaratiou that in gettini hold of the Whitman square-bale pres . he had secured the machine for roakini . the only perfect bale, induced Mr. Sear des to personally examine the Wbitmai ? press and bale before going any furtbe with p)ans for again taking an activ \ part in the affairs of-the rouudbale com pany.. f Aceordingly^Mr. Searles came to St j Louis, where the Whitman cotton pres . is ma?a,*&nd wherfrtt is exhibited in th Agricultural Pplaceqf the World's Fair In company^withUmeohanical enginee ? of international reputation Mr. Seailei '-today made a mo^^baustlve examina > lion of the press ar^Q^ bale, and it lia; leaked dMfetypugh a close persona r friend ar^finheiy^SB associate of Mr ^ Seniles that at fhe'coqcli^on of the iu I epection he wiied to William N. Crom well, attorney for the America^ Ck>ttoi Co., New York, to-the.,effect that th< jl Whitman prooess is entirely practicable ' that it is throughly protected, and it strong hands would be so dangerbus f competitor that the American Cotter Co. must control the Whitman press if that company is to continue iu business To bis friends Mr. Searles unhesitat? ingly adns't?ed that iLe Wliitman bah does all l.i had hoped to do with tht round bale, while it antagonizes nob id j and meets every objection which lie had to tight with the round bale'in changing the form of the package. He practically admitted that it would tie folly to t y to push the round bale against this newei and better invention. Another poiht recognized by him as of great value in the proposition as outlined by the Sully company is the determination to attempt, uo monopolistic control of the Whitman press, but to put them on sale to everybody. By the way, as showing the popular favor it is receiveng, Mr. Edward Atkinson, the cotton insurance expert of Boston, has suggested as a lilting name for the Whitman-Sully bale the "Underwriters" bale. It is understood that- the suggestion will be adopted. AppKRT PIIBNIS. Cheaper Flour. The Ballard Flour Mills issued and put in circulation a large number of circular letters to the trade, to the effect that the present crop of wheat is the largest grown in the United States for many years. The new crop flour will sell for less than for some time past, and cheaper flour will be sold and he more than welcome by the consumers. The Russo-Japaneee war Is about concluded, so that no shipment of extra quantities wjU be needed in that country. i County few Committee Meet.
