 Il the propretors of the other Presses, signed uniform tariff of charges cotton in order to com- ply with the repeated solicitations of both Factors and Shippers, to relieve them from the perplexity caused by so many different rates, deem il due to ourselves to assign our reasons for so doing.
 The T ariff differs from the one published by in
 the early part al the season, in but two items Of l- portance, to wit: Planters Storage and Drayage
 from wharves to Press. In relation to the first
 item we have adopted the rate universally preferred by the Planters, while were in the country last summer, and with which they expressed thenise,e entirely satisfied. In relation to the second we had only agreed 10 dray from our wharf at 5 cents per hale an inducement To have cotton landed there.
 Had Planters complied rigidly with their promis- | es to we have with promises to them, there
 would have been no necessity for a change n this
 item As, however, with few exceptions, they have
 quietly allowed their cotton landed up town, in con
 sequence of which have been compelled pay 124
 and l5 cents Ter bale to have it drnyed down, and
 cannot get II done at that, we feel justified in consenting to the 10 cents drayage.
 We, however, had another and stronger motive | Tn view. The sp-town whar6ngers for some tune
 past have been in the habit of paying all the extra
 expenses incurred by boats cotton ordered to
 wharves, but landed on theirs, in order to get the
 wharfage of the balance of the cargo, and compel
 10 do all the long drayage. tf. We place ourselves in position tp resist this ar- rangeBent and deprive them of any Inducement to continue it, consented to put up drayage, know ing that the aggregate charge could be made the same to the planter by taking of the wharfage with
 which the other presses had nothing do, aud in days paper willbe iourd notice this effect By this we keep our faith to the coantry, and show to
 the parties up town what they may expect so long as they play the grab game. and seek to deprive down | tswn of its fair share of business. 9qp1'
 We understand that we aye accuses of having gone { into a combination by this arrangement. In regard
 to the other Presses cannot answ erfor curse es
 we have only to say 1t is true. And If any
 doubts he iacI let him give order the other Presses for Cotton, and he will ascertain wheth- CT or not there exists combination. s
 We have no tear that course will be censured by any intelligent liberal minded merchant or planter. GREEN, CASEY & JAMES,
