Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Cotton System Historically Treated, Showing Operations of the Cotton Exchanges, Also Cotton Classification: With Numerous Practical Domestic and Foreign Commercial Calculations It is evident that beyond the limits of his own environments the average cotton grower is unacquainted with the manner in which his cotton finds a market; that text books enlightening him are wanting; that experience alone can not teach him the exact character and quality of the cotton produced on his farm, the process of marketing, the practical definition and application of future contracts to spot markets, how to ascertain the value of relative grades, and to make the calculations requisite to the transaction, whether sold at home or in foreign markets, and to render clear the meaning of all the technical expressions common to the cotton trade are some of the manifold purposes of this volume. Realizing that a work of this kind, setting forth as clearly as possible the way in which cotton is bought and sold, how the banking interests of the country are instrumental in handling and assisting in the movement of cotton as a co-related force, is not only desirable but absolutely necessary and will enable any student of cotton to be educated along the lines demanded by the peculiar cotton conditions in the South today.
