\ B\CHSET Brr NOT 4 D&fENr.-Thc alb an
lonmcnt by the New Orleans Exchange of n
demand of lipounds tare on cotton packed in
cotton cloth, is by no means significant that
rate will not finally be agreed upon. The
claim of the New Orleans Exchange, that its
action was forced by that of other cxchan-
gcs. is no doubt true. Memphis never ac-
ccpted the proposed rate and the Charleston
exchange rcconsidcrcd its action accepting it..
What other exchanges may have done we
cannot state positively, but no doubt some
of them acted as Memphis and Charleston
dill.
\ complete triumph of the movement for
the substitution of cotton for ute bagging
could hardly have been expected this year.
The change was too great for that, with the
Scant means possessed for the manufacture
of the cotton hagging and the custom fears
and riyalricS of the exchanges to he over
come. But sufficient progress has been and
will he made this season to give assurance oi
success if the policy of the Alliances and the
planters is rcSolutcly adhered to, and We
are gratiticl that there are no indications of
| weak Cniuw ;S vet.

cation supercedes the Grand Forks one.
Its plan is similar to that of the
one now in existence in Washington
territory. The question of finances to
conduct campaign work is settled by
stock scheme that is engrafted in the
new organization by which s25O,O0O is
expected to be raised. Stock will be
sold for $40 per share, and in return for
money the purchaser receives a certi-
ticate of life membership in the alliance.
The plan worked we'll in Washington,
and is expected to raise all the money
needed here for campaign purposes for
ten years. Mrs. Barker, president of
