ANOTHER BIG ENDORSEMENT OF
OUR DEEP WAFER MOVEMENT.

The New Orleans Cotton Exchange
Urges Upon the Louisiana Legisla-
ture and All Of the Southwest the
Importance of Deep Water at Ssvsn-
nah-An Endorsement That Insures a
Good Deal Before Congress-
There h no falling of in the Endorsements
of the deep water movement. Since the
matter has been brought before congress
there is . probability that the effort will be
further Endorsed by sections Of the country
that have not yet taken any action.
The Endorsements of nearly all the south
ern states, through their governors, have
been received already. Nearly all OF the
principal commercial bodies Of the south
and west have given the movement
their Endorsement, and many Of
the smaller bodies. The indorse>
lents. from Whatever source they
have come, have been hearty and have been
given in a manner that leaves no room for
doubt that they were meant and that they
will be followed by an active support on
the part Of those who have given them.
Capt Purse received yesterday, through
President J. Florence Minis Of the Savan-
nah Cotton Exchange, the official indorse-
ment Of the New Orleans exchange, which
is one Of the most important the movement
has yet received, urging, as it does, not only
the favorable support Of the state Of Louisi-
ana, but that Of the adjoining states The
resolution is as follows:
WHEREAS. The general assembly Of Georgia
old, on Oct. TO- 1891, unanimously adopt the

her sister states for their cooperation In seour
Ing an adequate appropriation by congress for

river from the city Of Savannah TO the ocean,
upon the plan adopted by congress, at its last
session for this purpose; and
WHEREAS. The New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change, through its board of directors, fully
recognizes and appreciates the Importance for
