an advantage.

FOR BETTER PRICES OF COTTON
Banks and Merchants of Natchex,
Miss. VIII Aid the Farmers.

Miss. VIII Aid the Farmers.
Natchez. Miss. August AT a called
meeting today the Natchez cotton and
merchants exchange unanimously adopt
ed a series of resolutions indorsing the
plans set forth by the Natchez Daily DEM
ocrat for the farmers to extend the time of
marketing the cotton crop in order that
they may secure better prices for their
product.
The resolutions pledge the united sup
port of the local banks, merchants and
planters, and are as follows:
Whereas, the Natchez Democrat is max
ing a strong appeal through its editorial
columns to the bankers, the merchants and
the planters of the South to unite in sucn
action as will make possible the marketing
of the coming cotton crop in such man
ner as will extend the time of delivery of
the bulk of the crop and thus avoid the
depression of prices consequent upon an
oversuppy during the early months.
Resolved, That the Natchez cotton ex-
change fully indorses the above appeal and
compliments the Democrat upon the unset
fish and patriotic course it is pursuing.
Resolved That we consider the plan as
eminently practicable and only needing tie
cooperation of the three elements most
interested to insure its success.
Resolved, That, knowing the broad and
liberal policy of the Natchez banks, the
high financial standing of our merchants
and the intelligence OF a large portion of
our planting community, we have no hest
tation in pedging the hearty cooperation
of this city in all that will promote the
success OF the Democrats plan.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolu-
tons be published in the Natchez Demo-
crat and sent to all the cotton exchanges
of the South and their cooperation in This
matter invited.
