Charlotte, y. G., Dec THE indi-
cations are that the meeting Of cotton
men to consider the advlsabiliy Of cur
falling production viii be largely att
tended, the rise in the price Of cotton
during the past few days probably
causing the attendance to be larger
than 1t would have been otherwise.
ia addition TO min men from all over
the south it is expected that manufae-
turers and commission men from the
north and east win be present and that
any agreement for curtailment that
may be entered into at the meeting
here will include quite a number Of
northern mills.
It is expected that the cloth mills
will be more largely represented than
the yarn mills, since the latter as a
rule, 1t Is said, are in better condition
than the former
Etlis estimated that about 20 per cent
OF the southern mills have a sufficient
amount Of cotton bought to run them
until next summer, and it IS not ex-
pected that any Of these mills viii
agree TO curtail their production. Mel
Their are the mills which have contracts
