HIGH PRICES AND SCARCITY.

The announcement made through
the Associated press dispatches dur
ing the week to the effect that many
of the mills in the English spinning
districts are resuming only tends to
confirm the view expressed editorially
in the Scimitar at the time the plants
were closed down.
1t will be recalled that story was
sent out from London detailing the
awful horrors which the operatives
and tradespeople were undergoing in
the !. 5extie districts, and attributing
all of their suffering to the high
prices of cotton brought about by
American gambling.
At that time the Scimitar pointed
out that the shut donwns were not
due in any sense to the high prices,
but to the actual scarcity Of cotton.
Furthermore, it gave the figures for
the past ten years showing that hold
ings of American cotton at Liverpool
were the lightest during that period,
and it also made the assertion that
the foreign mills would not be able
to replenish their holdings OF Ameri-
can cotton to any appreciable extent
before the latter part of October.
Last week for the first time this
season the weekly statement showed
gain in stock of American cotton,
and ,oncurrently with the appearance
of this increase, due to the more
liberal arrivals of American cotton,
comes the announcement that the

are able to supply themselves WIN
cotton.
The idea that high prices causeu
the mills to close down WAS my'h
from start to finish, and all the reports
Of this kind were put out Tor the
effect they would have in the price Oh
cotton in the South.
OF piece with this is the ehor'
nov being made by Buston, the En-
glish authority, and others to ridicule
the idea that the mills are making
any money with cotton at the present
level and the frequent assertions
that, at current values, the consump-
ton of cotton this season will be pc

that the yield promises to be rather

THE LEvEE CONVENTION.

The Mississippi River Improvement
and Levee Convention is now matter
of history. Its proceedings have
zone, by the aid of the press, into
every home where they are read and
endorsed. The great benefits to be
derived from it, not only to the resi-
Tents along the waterways, but to the
entire citizenship and business of the
country, will in short while be
seen. As body it was one of the
strongest and most intelligent that
has assembled in the United States in
many years, and we are proud to see
that the representatives of our own
noble State measured abreast with
the foremost in the convention.
From the opening of the convention
till the close, the proceedings were
harmonious and every speaker spoke
earnestly for the government control
of the levees, which was unqualified

should be shown the planters so that
their cotton will be shipped here and
sold and part of the money distribu-
ted among the business houses OF tie
city. The Business League should
take up this matter at once and look
into it. Let thorough investigation
be made as to prices paid, cotton pur-
chased, time of payments made, and
expenses of handling, as compared
with other cities, and in conclusion
the full report should be published
that the people may see and know
the truth. Such an investigation can
not do any harm and will result in
great good to the business interests OF
our city.

REMEDY THE EVIL.

There is no denying the fact that
Greenville is losing trade. 1t is re-
marked daily by the merchants and
business men of the city. Planters
who formerly sold their cotton and
did their trading in Greenville, we
are told by them, are e 9
their cotton in Leland, Clarksdale,
Yazoo City, Memphis and New Or
leans, at which places the bulk Of
their trading is done.
When we asked for the cause of
this change we were told that it was
because the planters received more
for their cotton in the above named
places than they do in Greenvi'le.
4 Why" said one of the planters to
n. "if Greenville don't soon do
away with that cotton exchange, it

mother sold us that his cotton sold
in Leland Melted him from three to
i've dollars a balc more than in
G eenville, and that he did not have
g wait day for his money, and
stated that last year he had to wait
f,r over two weeks before he got his
money.
Now, The Times has no fight to
make on the cotton exchange, unless
It can be shown thft it is the means
of helping a few to the detriment OF
the many. Such we do not believe
Is true, but if it is,the business men
hould suppress .. :
There is no reason why the cotton
buyers of Greenville should not be in
4 position to give as much for cotton,
with the aid Of the daily markets. as
those Of any other city, and this fact

ly endorsed before its close. Resolu-
tions by the delegates representing
twenty tour States, and 1863 cities,
without a dissenting vote endorsed
this movement which is also the en-
dorsement of the millions Of people
tley represented.
The words of endorsement coming
from the President of the United
STATES during the meeting Of tie con-
vention as to the aim and work, in
creased the hope of all and showed
to them that the heart the nation is
with our cause and that it must win.
All that is now left for us to do to
cquire a speedy victory, lie for the
1ress and people who endorse the
proceedings of this great convention,
nd we believe the majority of our
people do endorse this movement, is
urge upon our representatives in
ongress the passage of the below
Measure endorsed by their ooustitu-
nts:
"The governme control of the
,ntire Mississippi levee system, to a
lavigable canal connecting with the
great lakes, and to the plans and pur-
loses of the Ohio River Improvement
