cotton in Americain regulated to a "great extent by quotations from Liverpool where much of America's cotton finds a market. At this time trading in cotton is at fever heat for the winter is the time when the farmer settles his obligations of the spring, summer and autumn if he has been fortunate enough to realize a profit from the year's labour. If he has not been fortunate in this respect he is likely to curse cotton as his worst enomy and take a solemn oath nover to plant more than fifty per cent of his acreage in cotton again but, despite the axiom which claims experience, to be the best teacher, he is very likely to repent the old performance the following year in the hope that cotton prices will again be high.
Bales of 750 lbs, Weight. So far we have considered cotton which was consumed in the United States but what of that staggering amount which is exported annual ly To one who has seen the bales of cotton as they come from the gin it is plain that it would be impractical to export such bulky articles. The size of an ordinary balo weighing from 500 to 750 pounds is about 0x4×2 feet and, to the uninitiated, the pressure under which it is packed seems to be so great that it has been re- duced to a solid. As a matter of fact the pressure under which it WHA packed Was enormous in comparison to its natural state but the pressure to which it is sub jected when destined for export is se great that the bales are reduced to about 1/6 of their size. This operation is carried out in another establishment known as a "com- press" and when the bales omerge from the press. one is tempted by its size to believe that one might be taken under each arm and car ried by an ordinary man:-This despite the fact that the weight has not been reduced from the original 500 or 750 pounds.
