to prepare these resolu-

a general discussion was then in
dulged in as to whether or not Texas
should have an exhibit at the Omaha
exposition next year and it was de-
cided TO be the sense of the meeting
that every effort should be made to
have Texas and her resources repre-
sented at Omaha.
1t was also developed during the
course of more discussion that it was
the sense of the meeting that each
Commercial club in the state should
assist as far as possible by giving To-
cal prominence to any happening of
interest in any other city of the state
so that greater crowd could thus
be secured. 1t was thought advisable
that as far as possible the dates of
all big events should be so arranged
as not to have any conflicts and that
each club should lend assistance to
other cities working in notices of
events in other towns through the To-
cal press and thus attract big crowd
that might not be procured if one
town had to do all the hustling her.

Upon the conclusion of this discus
sion Mr.. McMasters opened up anoth-
err long one by advising the secretaries
not to, exhibit too much egotism in
pushing their names for prominence
in the various papers as it was calcu-
lated to get them in bad odor with
the home people to see the secretary's
name blazoned forth on all occasions.
All those present expressed themselves
along the same line and it soon de-
yeloped that while the secretaries had
no particular desire nor intention of
altogether hiding their light under a
bushel measure that they were as one
in thinking that meekness and humil-
ity as well as certain amount Of
modesty would play them well in
hand and that their organization
might become more prosperous If the
name of the organization and its
working were placed before the pub
lie a trifie oftener than the name of
the secretary and his daily actions.
From this time on until adjourn
ment the various members talked free
ly as to what they thought would do
most to further the interests of Texas
and it was generally agreed that all
The clubs must work in harmony to
secure immigration and secure the es-
adjustment of home industries.
With this idea thoroughly instilled
in their minds the meeting adjourned
for dinner. During the afternoon the
visitors were taken out to see Hyde
park and also up the lake for sail
returning to the city about dark.

NEW YORK COTTON LETTERS.
Price, Mccormick &Co's. cotton let
ter oAlamo Brokerage company.
New York, Sept. 11.-After weak
opening the cotton market rallied on
good buying for domestic operators
who have confidence that the govern
ment reports is a fair indication of the
actual condition of the growing cotton
crop. The bearish combination COM
posed of leading operators in New Or
leans and Liverpool made determin-
ed opposition to the market this morn
ing and Liverpool, New York and New
Orleans succeeded in checking the up
ward tendency for the time being. Mr..
NELL is said to be out with an esti-
mate of 10,500,0O0 bales. Whether he
has made this estimate or not cannot
be confirmed, but it is probable that
he has, as his following makes state
ments to that effect. Crop reports
for the day continue unfavorable and
the deterioration is most marked where
the crop promised the best.
Fairchild & Hobson's letter to Alamo
Brokerage company.
New Orleans, La, Sept. 1.-THE
action of the Liverpool market today
would indicate that the opinion on
that side was welded to the idea that
the result of this crop would be yield
of large proportions. The market re-
sponded to the report of the depart
ment of agriculture which had been
construed in a bullish manner by the
American markets by a decline of 1164
from the previous day. This was
quite unexpected on this side and did
much to discourage any idea that the
public may have had 70 enter in a
speculative way to a turn on the long
side. 1t must be admitted that if this
feature of the market is to be wanting
throughout the season it is useless to
