BERLIN, Oct. 3o.-The prohibition
against the landing of American cattle
and American beef announced by de-
cree of the Hamburg Senate Saturday
last, was extended today to every port Of
Germany. The officiols Of the interior
department say that the Importation
of cattle from America suffering from
Texas fever has been clearly proved
and that the measures taken are purely
of preventive nature. such as each
German state Is entitled to exercise
through its police authority within its
own territory.

"l want to place you on record. Do

It took long time to get the answer
but, at last, the witness said: "Mr.

SpeculRtora Scared.

NEW YORK, Oct. SI.-Nsmbers Of
the cotton exchange here and In other
cities are somewhat excited over the
proposition to form q gigantic trust of
all the cotton raisers Of the South !,
which Is being advocated by John T.
Roddey, a prominent broker OF this
city. The exchanges ara opposed to
the scheme. If such trust II formed
the brokers say that their business
will be ruined, 80 far as exercising any
control of the market Is concerned.
The trust would be able to practically
dictate the price of cotton In the open
market. Mr.. Roddey's plan Is for every
cotton farmer, no matter how small, to
become a shareholder. When the crop
Is gathered each member shall turn
into the trust one bale out Of every
five or six bales raised by him, or II the
crop Is small one, then one bale OUT
of every seven or eight shall 60 to the
trust. Tue amount Of cotton thus
placed In the hands Of the trust shall
be held by the latter as sort Of bal
ancs wheel to the market. The farmer
will market his crop, less the amount
turned over to the trust, as bes suits
him. Toe trust supply will De held
until the market price shall be high
enough to warrant its sals aud the
return of a good profit. Mr.. Roddey
feels sure that Ghe adoption OF his plan
and the formation of trust, as pro-
posed, will at oncs put the price of COT
con up TO about ceAts from the pres.
ent price, which is aoout 5 cents. Fhie
would be- al Immediate and material
benefit to Gne farmer. who would also
benefit by ..io dividends which 1t Is ex-
pected will accrus to him on his trust
shares. Mr.. Roidey suggests a meet
ing in New York at an early date Of
representatives Ut all farmers organi.
cations in the S0u,n. to consider the
matter. He has received Dumber Of
letters from prominent cotton planters
and leading citizens of South Carolina
who heartily endorse the plan. Whom
seen at his Office. 80 Broadway, Mr..
Roddey said he expected active steps
towards organization would be taken
this week.

would not sell cotton 80 freely If they
had to risk buying the actual cotton,
but the exchanges establish price and
they know they need not fear Of your
not selling at exchange prices. One
advantage the bears have is that If any
one have q contract for certain
month, the bear or person who has
sold has the privilege Of offering to
deliver to the purchaser the cotton
about five days previous to the month
traded In, or of not delivering until
the end of the month traded In, as he
chooses. In other words If you want
the cotton he has sold you he has over
thirty days to deliver 1t and If you do
not want it you must sell on the eX-
change Whatever 1t will bring. Anoth-
or advantage, the carrying charges
favor the bears about one cent per
year. With such advantages Is 1t to be
wondered at that spectators depress
your products.
The Farmers Alliance of the South
Is supposed to be an organized body
with Intelligent leaders, but 1t appears
that they have not as yet touched the
kew note to the situation; they are dis
cussing the silver bill; the tariff and
other different measures, but they
should begin at home, see what Is the
cause of the depression and why they
are kept down; find out how you may
financially better your condition and
reap the greatest benefits from your
labor; why your products are kept
down and your condition not improv-
Ing. You can raise absolutely every.
thing, have nothing to buy, whereas
your oppressors raise absolutely moth
Ing and have everything to buy. If
you were 30 organized that you could
simply say, We will not take less than
eight to teu cents for our cotton and

II IS generally beiievcu that the sales agents OF

duce the price Of coal from 10 10 ., cents ton.
This reduction will not bring the circular prices
down to the actual rates made by the smaller com
