Legislation by Congress to reform cotton merchandising practices recommended today by the Federal Trade Commission Answering an investigation asked in a Senate resolution, the commi sion declared abuses had grewn up which bore unfairly on cotton pro- ducers generally. In general, the commission sug- gested, members of cotton exchanges who recelve cotton consignments for sale should be forbidden to sell the cotton to themselves without permis- sion of the shipper; records should be kept by exchanges which would allow the cotton shipper to compare the price received for his shipment with prices current at the time of sale: borrowings on cotton consignment to brokers should be limited, and ex- changes should be required to expel members Who do not make immediate cash return of the money due their shippers. The legislation suggested would make it a criminal offense for cotton Tecelvers to adopt practices which fail to conform with the rules out- lined. It would likewise require that cotton shipped in interstate or for- eign commerce be stored in licensed warehouses. Given Army Commission. Bolon B.
