Full information of the forward requirements of the whole cotton industry would be available to the new commission and could be available only to a centralised or
ganisation.
Lack of warehouse space was A
hampering factor. Seventy-three per cent of Britain's cotton stocks were stored in open-air sites which precluded carmarking but by the time the commission came into being that diffealty would be well on the way to bring over come and then there would be rea- sonable facilities for forward buying.
On the question of fixing prices, Mr. Marquand said the cotton commission would continue i the cover scheme which affords a}
of high degree protection to the rpinner against price changes.
The
system of cover applied to every growth of cotton which Britain imported. In the old days spinners had to spend too much time watching their markets and too the watching production of their yarn.
The replacement cost may be £90,000,000, though these estim- ates may be wide of the mark
