THE COTTON FIGHT.

A fight as interesting, as it is i'm
portant to the cotton planting inter
est, Is now going on in New Orleans.
Our special correspondent has kept
our readers posted, and IL appears
now that those battling for our best
interests are for the present success
full.
New Orleans is the greatest ex-
porter of raw cotton iE the world,
and tits now fighting to prevent
other cities putting down the price
below production. Before the war
the price of cotton was regulated
by the law of supply and demand.
After the war, when New Orleans
and other Southern cotton cities
were sorely crippled, Liverpool and
New York regulated the price pret-
ty much to suit their own ideas.
Even when the supply was short
aud the crop small, Liverpool al
ways did what it could to put down
the price. Southern necessities
compelled the producers and fac
tors to sell, and they lost millions
annually. New Orleans, and other
Southern cities last year, made a
contest for better prices, and al.
ready good result is observable.
Cotton Is kept up in New Orleans.
in spite ofthe bearIsh Influences in
New York aud Liverpool. Certain
ly all the planting and mercantile
interests of the South should coop.
crate with New Orleans in main
tanning at least fair prices. There
is no reason why cotton should de-
cline, for the supply is lighter than
for many years, and if sellers refuse
to sell for lower prices they will got
Che present price or better ones
The South IS beginning to get fnan
cial backbone, and she should have
a very big say in the price of hel
chief staple. If she wlll.say to the
world in regard to cotton, "you M
likee, no takee," not many days
will pass before the world will fint
''it must havee." -Vicksburg Her
