 warehousfng Cotton.
 The following Is the report of the special committee of the Texas Farm CTS Congress on the important ques- ton of warehousinE cotton throughout the entire cotton farming States:
 1. That an imperative necessity ex- ists for such warehousing Of cotton to the end that the crop may remain un- der the control of the farmers. mer- chants. bankers and others producing 1t until the demand therefor arises by spinners for actual consumption.
 2. That such control would lessen if not altogether suppress the vice of gambling in futures now conducted un- der the false mask of legitimate trade. a vice destructive of the weil-being alike Of producers and consumers of cotton.
 3. That warehousing all, or even a portion of the crop. not in immediate demand, would cause that portion &C., .tual1y offered to bring a higher price. yet not higher than its fair value, whilst the portion warehoused under the contract of men producing raw material aggregattng over $500. 0.000, 900 annually before and over sl00. 900, 900 powerful influences in the world of in- uustry that the highest fair price could be demanded.
 1. That the increased price savings on fair classification and fair weights and the incidental benefits to the farmers, merchants. bankers and other business interests of the country re- sulting from a warehousing system. will aggrega'e not less than $10 per bale over sl00.000.oo0 to the cotton growing States and this annually flow ing through the arteries of trade will quicken into renewed life and vigor ev- cry effort and enterprise of all our peo- pie.
 5. That the construction and mainte- nance of mills at the field would be encouraged by. their being able to ob- tain adequate supplies of cotton direct ly from the warehouse when actually needed instead of being required to lay up years supply of cotton on bor- rowed capital at high rates of interest as at present.
 6. That the binding together of our people, the better acquaintance with the condition existing among us from time to time and other incidental bene- fits to be derived from uniform sys- tenn of warehousing cotton by our own people would be of untold value to the country at large and would the first season repay many fold the cost of the whole system.
 2. That we most heartily endorse the plan submitted by the Waco Business Mems Club and Farmers Institute of McLennan County and pledge ourselves to its earnest support and recommend that the congress call upon the daily and especially the weekly press of the country to urge every thoughtful man in Texas and in every other cotton growing state and territory to write at once to the said club or institute at Waco. Texas. expressing a willingness to aid in this great work in the re- spective committees, as many corre- spondents must be had fin every county to insure it's success-Texas Statesman and Farmer.
