Resolutions were adopted at a meeting of

declaring:
That 1t is the sense Of the members Of the
cotton exchange that Congress should with
out further delay. Internationally repeal the
purchasing clause OF the act OF July IA
1890. known as the Sherman silver law We
believe that the repeal Of this law Will re-
new confidence. create a better and more
satisfactory feeling In the minds OF the
mercant tile community and instill life into
financial affairs. Every days delay in this
matter by Congress intensihes the strained
condition Of affairs now prevailing, and will
retard recovery when the law II finally re-
pealed."
