A $20,000,000 COTTONHANDLING
COMPANY.
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 ?

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.

A Business Proposition.
In modern business, integrity is just
as essential an element of success
as skill, industry, persistence or
any other commercial virtue.
A reputation for honesty, Jobtained
by long and continuous square dealing,
.is a necessary asset, upon
which permanent business prosperity
depen^lfc. For instance a merchant
advertises a big cut price
sdfband .people find on investigatlon
that he o^tljey are not "selling
as they advertise^ 'right there is
where they make a mistake, their
7T. reputaj^pn for integrity and honesty
^ "'f is it is a true saying, I
~ if 1 that^ou can foot some people for a 1
I while but., y.^ can't fool ail the I
1 people all tteWbe- ^ I
I Yfe advertise what we sell,
LvWe sell what we advertise.
