NEW YORK ALIVE TO ITS IMPORTANCE

New York, Aug. 1.-Seyeral gentlemen who represent the Cotton States and In ternational exposition of Atlanta met the executive committee of the chamber of commerce this morning. The delegation was composed of Evan P. Howell, edi- tor of the Atlanta Constitution: Hon. Porter King, mayor of Atlanta; Steward r. Woodson, president of the chamber of commerce; Ex-Governor Bullock. II. H. Cabaniss, manager of the Atlanta Journal; pr. Spaulding, T. B. Neal, J. D. Maddox. W. C. Saunders and James Swart.
 Those of the executive committee of the New York chamber. of commerce present were: Henry Hertz. chairman; Messrs. Woodbury Langdon and J. F. Simmons. The gentlemen from the south were en- thusiastic over the outlook for the com ing exposition, and short talks were made by President Woodson, Ex-Governor Bull lock, Dr. Spalding, Colonel Howell and MT. Cabaniss. MT. Woodson extended a formal invitation to the chamber of com merce to send its executive committee to Atlanta in August, as Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other western cities would have delegations there to look over the scope of the great exposi- ton.
 Colonel Howell said that the cotton ex- position of 1881 had done more good than the Worlds fair. Among other things it brought about a revolution in the handling and marketing of cotton seed. There were only two oil mills in the south. Today the cotton seed product is worth S57. 100000 yearly.
 The meeting was full of interest. and MT. Langdon offered the following reso- lutions, which were seconded by MT. J. E. Simmons:
 Whereas. The citizens of Atlanta, Ga, have organized the Cotton States and International exposition, to be opened On the 18th of September next: and.
 Whereas, The government of the United States has given to this exposi- tion it's recognition by appropriating S200000 to pay the expenses of an exhibit made by the government under the srf pervision of it's officials; and @3
 Whereas. Many of our sister statef have made appropriations of money and appointed commissioners to represent them at the exposition; and,
 Whereas, The New York state cOmmis- sioner. recently returned from Atlanta, reports that the grounds and buildings already indicate the magnitude of the exposition will only be second to thai held recently in Chicago; and,
 Whereas, The commercial interest os the entire country will be promoted through a better mutual knowledge or the resources and industries of each sec tion and of the South American republics, whose exhibits will be feature of the coming exposition in Atlanta; and,
 Whereas, A better understanding of financial conditions will be promoted by personal intercourse between the busi- ness men of our several sections,
 Resolved That the executive commit tee of the New York chamber of com merce (pending the generalm meeting of the chamber. which will be held in Octo- Der nexD approve the action of our state ; in making provision for the representa- tion of our state and of the action of his excellency, the governor. in appoint ing commissioners to the Cotton States and International exposition.
 Resolved further, That we earnestly urge our citizens to visit this exposition, and we hope that the representatives of our commercial and industrial inter- ests will avail themselves of this oppor- tunity to make such exhibits as will be creditable to the resources and activi- ties of the state of New York.
 The gentlemen from Atlanta will be in the city for several days, and are at the Waldorf They all think the exposition will surpass all American expositions except the Worlds fair at Chicago.
