A heated discussion between Colonel Wm. H. Young of Eagle and Phenix mills and South Carolina spinner Converse centers on cotton bale costs. Young contends southern mills save roughly $7.46 per bale versus New England mills, based on lighter bales and public gin. Converse argues the New York market and freight distortions reduce southern margins, but even under his figures the southern mill shows profit, with potential dividends on two bales daily.
