International Fedoration of Master Cotten "Spinners' and Manufacturors' Associations, 15, Crosa stront, Manchester, Nov. 10, 1906. Sir,I am instructed by the Chairman of the International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers Associations to send you for publication enclosed copy of a letter received to-day by hire from the United to suggest the names of cotton experts to attend Statos Department of Agriculture, asking him s conference which will be called early next your for the purpose of establishing nine grades of American cotton.

This conference, in the opinion of Mr. C. W Macara, is a development which, if carried out sucessfully, will prove to be of enormous advantage to the cotton industry. lt ia, no doubt, a direct outcome of the International Conference of the Spinners of the World and the Cotton Planters of America, held in the autumn of Inat year at Atlanta, Ga., at which 118 European delegates attended under the suspices of the International Federation.

The question of nominating the cotton experts will be dealt with amongst other import. aut matters at the next meeting of the Interna tional Committee, which will be held on December 1st and 2nd in Geneva.

Yours faithfully,

Macars, chairman, International Federation of Cotton Spinners, Manchester Dear Sir.
