A renent amendment to the t'nited States Cotton Futures Act provided authority and funds to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to inaugurate a quotation service which would furnish producers and others the needed information, par ticularly in view of the fact that, as a resujt of the amendment, an important outlet for ten of the lower grades of 'Totfon -wliic.ti. .had previously been de liverable on future contracts had been closed.

The bulletin is ued from each of the five district head quarters will show cotton prices in a number of markets in the territory im mediately surrounding or adjacent to the district headquarters, and its dis tribution will be largely confined to per sons in the district for -which it is issued. No one bulletin will cover quotations for the entire cotton belt, and it is intended that the bulletins shall be prepared in a concise, readily understandable form and given such distribution that they will be of local value to jiersons in the communities which receive them.
