Ameeting of portion of the cotton
lplantersSof Bullock county, Alabama,
held on5tl,e 18th inst, and action saken
in regard TO the present condition Of
the. cotton market and the future pros.
pect. We give below the preamble and
resolntio. sadopted by the meeting, and,
in doing SO, We take, occasion to state
that we believe the policy they advise to
be eminently wise and proper. =
Some time since we advised our plant.
ing friends not TO rush their crop to
market. We told them that the effect OF
rust and the army worm in forcing a
premature opening Of the cotton was not
or would not be understood by specula-
tors at the North and IN Europe These
spectators look to the monthly and
weekly receipts and if these show an
increase on last years receipts for the
same period, or even Indicate tolerably
fair approximation to those receipts, they
will seize upon them to force the price
down. 1t does not much malterwheth
er the cotton arriving in market is
promptly, sold = it is the actual receipts
which is looked to in estimating for the
to extent Of tl,e,crop.
Planters, then, should determine to
devote their5wlole time, energies and
labor to picking out and preparing the
crop neatly lor market. The present
weather is highly favorable for pic king,
and no time should be lost from the
work ofthe field in sending the crop to
market. Every bale which reaches The
market before the middle OF October will
only aid the Spectators in their efforts
beai c@H the price. #
81 'hoae planters who are compelled to
have n little,mohey, will be obliged 20
send a few bales to market, but they
are not compelled to sell it. Small I ai.
vances can be had upon it for thirty or
sixty days ;Butno cotton should be sent
5or,Od,W except Just SO much as aOtU meet
present allegations. IF every planter
will adopt this plan and then stick to At,
they can control the price, and force it
up TO a point that will make planting
rcmunerative.
The Bullock planters say:
We, portion ofthe planters of Bul.
lock county, Alabama, earnestly call
upon the planters Of the South to Join
with us in the effort to keep ont of mar
kct all cotton.not necessary 10 meet all
debts now due, and to explain to the
laborer tbs advantage Of this course and
secure his cooperation in the matter.
Therefore, be it resolved:
lst. That, the cotton planters of Ala.
bama and OF the other cotton producing
States be and are hereby respectfully re-.
Tiesttd to at once hold beat and county
meetings, for consultation and advice as
to the best means for securing fair
price for the present crop of cotton.
I'd. That we commend the planters to
avoid forcing cotton upon n declining
market, as much as may be consistent
with their obligations to meet pressing
debts. .i @ .., ~
.3d. That we commend the planters 10
store their own surplus cotton and that
of their lahorers at their own gin.
