Tho Cotton Market.

The prices Of cotton have continued
to decline, and the level is now below
that reached for forty years. save in
the year 1894
The decline has followed conditions
which BY every argument point to
higher prices.
Abroad in tho Lanca.hire district
there have been serious disturbances
which may account in part for the un-
settled condition of the markets.
The manufacturers have insisted on
n reduction in wages which the men
insist they cannot and will not sub
init to.
For weefs it appeared that q strike
or vast proportions was inevitable. in
yolving the whole cotton interests Of
Great Britain.
Ihis situation undoubtedly depress-
ed the market for the raw material.
Mill owners preferred to keep out OF
lhe market until they knew what was
10 happen, and with this English de-
fhand checked prices sagged.
AL the last moment men and mill
owners agreed to bitration, and it
seems now that the threatened strike
mas been aYertrd.
If this be true there should bn bet =
ter demand for raw cotton and a rcac-
ton in prices in the near future.

The New York Broker viii
Not Abandon 1t.
HIS TALK TO FARMERS
Made in York County Since Ad-
jOurnment of Cotton Growers
Conventional Company.


broker and former South Caro-
linian, does not intend TO abandon
his plan for regulating the price
of cotton. IN the Iorkville En-
quirer Of yesterday appeared the
following as to his views since the
recent convention of cotton grow
ers in this city:
Mr.. John I. Roddey has not lost
a particle of faith in his famous
plan for the control of the price
of cotton. He believes as firmly
in i now rs he did three years
ago, when he first gave it to the
public. In fact, has faith is, if
anything, stronger than ever.
Then the scheme was a compara-
lively new thing; but since that
time he has continued to study it
in all its details, and now he feels
absolutely certain that if it ever
has the opportunity # test 1t
can't possibly fail.
Mr.. Roddey was in Rock Hill
last Saturday, on his way back to
New York from the cotton con-
vention that was held in Colum-
bia last week. Learning from
The Herald that he would make
an address to the farmers during
the day, a reporter for The En-
quirer went over to hear what
was said and done. The meeting
had not yet been called when the
reporter arrived, and Mr.. Roddey
being at leisure, talked interest
lngly about his plans.
"They did not vote down my
plan At Colu N bia," he said, "hut
they did not exactly endorse it.
You see, mean business rather
than politics, and the political
element was more largely repre-
ssntsd In the convention than the
business element. This is not a
political problem with which We
are dealing; but rather business
problem, and unless IL ls dealt

can. He Will keep the cotton on
his farm, OF course, and ali we
Will ask OF him is that he hold it
until we instruct him to sell it.
Now let us see how it works.
At present, supply and demand
have nothing whatever to do with
the price of cotton. Liverpool
spinners combine with profession
al operators and sell futures un-
til they get the price of cotton
down as low as they want it.
Then, on this basis, they buy all
the spot cotton they need. WHY.
