Vac cotton Spcculators are playing a
deep game in order to get tho farmers
to plant moe cotton. They arc pre-
tending to contract for next falls crop
at y to cents. Their object is to in
ducc the farmers to plant more heavily,
as they make their profit on the number
of BALES handled. We hope the farmers
into their hands.
We told our farmers early last spring
that if they could and would hold their
cotton that they would get eight cents
for i. Now sec if the above prediction

what we advise you to do.
