The wide-awake, e1terprisins merchants
Of st. Louis have raised purse Of one thous-
and collars which they propose to distribute
in premiums for cotton at the coming fair in
st. Louis. These premiums will be awarded
as follows: For the best bale Of upland or short
staple cotton, $500; for the best bale OF New
Orleans or long staple cotton, $500. The ST.
Louis Fair Association have added to this q
third premium Of $3.50 for the best bale of cot
ton raised in Missouri. The cotton entered
must be of the growth OF 1869, and the bales
must MT weigh less than $50 pounds each.
Sea island an Peeler cotton are excluded from
competition. These premiums are, we believe,
by far the largest ever offsred anywhere for
the great staple, beng not less than 81 per
pound.
