Chinese Experiment In Cotton, Growing.

Mr. Mo Oa-cho, a graduate in agriculture from an U. 8 an iversity who returned to China recently, is a younger brother of Mr. Mo Heiang-vao,formerly Chief of the Woosung and Shanghai Constabulary, Sicca be returned home, Mr. Mo has already soc cessfully floated, with the mesial- ance of his brother, a cotton spinning company called Teh Ta, which will, it is expected, be able to start operations come time in April. Mr. Mo has also decided to experiment with the cultivation of cotton

Chinese soil, using U. S. seeds. Hero poser to begin this task two plote of land only at first, and if the result should turn out to bo encouraging, other plots may be taken in band. Meantime, he has secured lands at Yingheiangkang for the first plot for cotton plants- tion experiment, and at Yang szeobino in Pootang for the Zad plot.-National Review.

Shanghai Cotton Market, Mr. A. B. Rosenfeld's Cotton Market Report for the week end- ing 11th March 1915 is as follows: -Chias Cotion-The Cotton 'market during the past week has shown but little animation aside. of occasional spurts of activity, with the general tendency "Steady" "by reason of short commitmente from the interiör . marts. Local Mills are for the present abiding their time in view of the uncertainty prevail- ing in consequence of which they have adopted the hand to month policy, whilst the Farmere on the other hand find it preferable 10. market their Cotton gradually in crder to meet their incidental ex- penses. This is likely to prevent the any serious decline, as Farmers are undoubtedly finar- cially able to hold, but I think it will also prevent any advance of consequence considering the st titade assumed by the Mills. Under the circumstances, there- fore, the outlook hinges on the fature probabilities of the politic al situation, and it would be hazardous on my part to try and predict the trend of the market before the actual outcome, fully warranta me to do so.
