New York, Nov. 5.--The stock market

are from one to four points lower than
they were last night. That this course of

Decrease the Acreage.

Col. Jerome Hill, of St. Louis,
delegate at large to the Cotton
Growers Convention, held in Mem
phis last week, delivered the follow
ing remarks before that body:
81 have given my life to work
ing in cotton, and it has not all been
spent in handling cotton as mer-
chant. / was raised within TWEEN
ty-seven miles of where l now stand,
and came to Memphis a l5-year-old
boy, from Logwood, Tenn, to buy
supplies for my mothers plantation.
| have worked on the farm and
moved hay for g one and twenty"
/ now run a gin within fifty miles
of Memphis, raise cotton on farm;
have studied the question on the
farm, in the mills and abroad, and
assert that cotton cannot be raised
for less than eight cents, and still
leave a profit for the farmer. l
know this to be a fact, for l have
tried it and paid cash for all sup
plies. ] have decreased the acre
age on my Hardeman county farm,
putting the remainder of my places
in pasture and food products. | re-
Gently sold some cattle in St. Louis
for $50 per head, net, and made two
dollars for every one dollar invested.
| also raise the necessary food pro-
ducts on the place, and | believe
that if the whole South would do
we would have prosper
ity."
Mr.. Hill is a gentleman of intel
ligence. He is well-known to our
people. He speaks words of wis
dom. If his example is followed,
the cotton raisers of Hardeman will
be more prosperous.

EDITOR DEMONSTRATION me
for intruding upon your space, but
/ desire to say a few words to my
brother farmers in Hardeman coun-
ty; and / know of no better method
by which to reach them than through
the columns of The BULLETIN.
/ have read with much interest
the proceedings of the Cotton Grow
ers' Convention, recently held in
Memphis. The concensus of opin-
ion of the delegates to that conven-
ton, composed of men of intelli-
gence and experience. was, that in
order to advance the price of cotton
it is necessary to decrease the acre
age. / cheerfully subscribe to that
doctrine. / have raised cotton, al
most exclusively, in Hardeman coun-
ty for many years past, and my ex-
perience is, that we cannot compete
with the cotton producers of the
rich low lands of Mississippi and
TO say nothing of Texas,
which State alone raises cotton
enough to supply the United States.
OF late years, have changed my
tactics. | now raise less cotton and
more food products, and / find that
my lands are in better condition,
and that / am better off, financially.
All this talk about cotton being
the only crop that commands ready
money, is misleading and untrue. /
speak from experience. l know the
of my brother farmers
so well, that | am inclined to be-
lieve that some of them will continue
in the same old ruts Cotton exclu-
sively), thinking that somebody else
will decrease the acreage, and that
they will profit thereby. This is a
matter of great importance, and de-
serves serious consideration. Com
mence the reduction yourself.
