the war capital ana labor went shares in
the product OF the plantation. Hence the
cotton crop made money active only when
1t started leave the plantation for the river and
seaport towns. But within year or SO the rela-
tons between the cotton growers and the colOred
laborers have changed, and now practically the

his ''hands.n To set this great labor machine in
operation generally the first time great deal Of
money Is required; and inquiry at the banks shows
that the Southern banks are drawing heavily on
their New York deposits. The loss in deposits for
the week Is over three and quarter Millions and
