Rotterdam, Netherlands, May 9. The Bremen cotton market is prom- | isca a serious competitor in Rotterdam after the war as a result of the deci- | sion to establish a cotton xchange | | here The enormous extent of Rot- terdam’s transit trade in cotten at tze opening of the war, in consequence of the severance of Bremen's maritime communications, opened the res of the Dutchmen to adtentialities of the position. Last ing the Twente (Eastern Holland) Chambers of Com- merce invited the otterdam cham- ber to take the initiative m the mat- | ter, promising the support of the ij\omo spinners, and the establish- ment of a cotton market is now as- sured by the formation of a cotton corporation and an association for trade in cotton. Several important factors favor the new venture's success. There are some fourteen spinning manufactories | in Hollang itself with ar annual con- sumption of about 150,000 bales of cotton. Moreover, Belginma and a | great part of western Germany can | be reached by railroad-—to say noth- ing of the Dutch port's fine water | communications—at le cost from Rotterdam than from Eremen. A comparison of railroad rates shows that Gladbach, Rheidt, Gronau, Bo- | cholt, Cologne and a number of other { important German centers, using alto- | zether over 400,000 bales vearls thus situated, while ncighboring Bel- gium takes another 250,000 bales. Rotterdam can therefore, it pointed out, compete without difficul- ty for the delivery of about §00.000 bales of cotton per yvear. rmany be reckoned on to do @ r{hing ble, by railway tavifr -to >rve Bremer position, while | Bremen firms have the adva e of l'a direct interest in many German spinning concerns.
