Concession by cotton exchanges upholds jute bagging raise pact
A New Orleans meeting of cotton exchange and Alliance representatives agreed to new tare rules effective Oct 1. Cotton covered with jute will carry 24 pounds tare per bale and cotton bagging 16 pounds per bale, boosting net gains for farmers. The action, led by Alliance members, claims substantial profits across an 1889 crop of about 7.5 million bales, with gains estimated at millions depending on bagging.
