GALVESTON, Tex.. Sept. 29. pan will use 1.000.000 bales of Amcrlnn cotton this year and oriental shippers will route as much of this as possible through the port of Galveston, according to K. Fujita, president of the Texas Gosho Co.. who was here recently in company with H. Kita, a director ot the parent company in Japan. Difficulty in making financial arrangements for Indian and Chinese cotton increases the amount of the staple which Japan must secure from America, Mr. Fujlta said. Delay in Booking". Japanese shippers are dissatisfied with the manner In which cotton is handled through the Pacific case ports, according to Mr. Fujita. especially through delays in booking and lack of facilities. Iast year, he said, the Gosho company routed 4.000 bales through Galveston and was well satisfied with the promptness and facility with which the shipments were dispatched. "The United States shipping board," said Mr. Fujita. "is willing to furnish bottoms for cotton to the orient, and probably will do so, but shippers are unable to do business with the board while it asks a rate of $2 on high density cotton from Galveston. I believe some of the shipping to Japan during this season will bo carried in British bottoms. In addition, Japanese shipping companies are planning to put three or four steamers into the Galveston service. Mills Demand Better Grade. "In the past years. Japan normally used about GO 0,0 00 bales of American cotton annually. Last year the quantity was increased to 750,000 bales and this year, I believe, will reach 1,000,000. The Chinese and Indian cotton Is inferior to the American staple and Japanese mills are demanding not only a better, but a longer, grade of cotton."
