SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Proposes Trust.

John T. Roddey. a member of the firm of John T. Roddey X Co, brokers, New York. in letter to the Columbia tS. e State, proposes to the farmers of the south the formation of gigantic trust to control the price of cotton. He claims that the low price of cot ton is due to the combinations against the farmer and the lack of combination among them. He sug- gests q capital stock of from S50, 00o,- 010 to St00, Ooo GOO, and points out the fact that if cotton can be raised in price from five cents to sixteen cents pound on an 5000, ,000-bale crop, more than the capital stock of the trust would be saved the farmers in one year. The shares are to be low enough in value to allow every farmer to take one or more. He suggests a meeting of representative of the alliance and other farmers associations to be held at an early date in New York or some southern city. He urges immediate action.

Cotton.


 The Nicltsburg Miss Post, referring to the movement on foot in Georgia by which co tton planters propose to bor- row money and hold their cotton until prices advance, says: This plan might work very nicely if Texas, Mississippi and all the other cotton states would refrain from planting and gathering another big crop of cotton the coming season. But it is probable that all of the cotton states, including Georgia, will go ahead in the same old line producing big crop, and then wonder why prices are low. We take occasion to again reaffirm the opinion, however, that there is no danger from too large cotton crop, provided the cotton states are self-supporting in the matter of food crops, and also develop a few manufacturing interests 5
