Whnt Cotton Exchange Costs.

"A well known agricultural editor is authority for the estimate that the New York cotton exchange costs the farmers of the South $15O,OO0 900 an nually, and this sum represents what the producer. the spinner and consum- CT should get instead of the specula- tor.
 An English authority recently in an article on cotton says: The pros- perity of the gFeat industry is depen- dent upon a supply of the raw mate rial at natural price. If the spin- ners on this side could be sure that what they purchase would not fall be- low 1-2 pence nor rise above , 1-2d per pound the main difficulties that harrass them would be removed and a stable system would be established But gamblers in the United States sac rifice the interests of millions to their own pockets The Federation of Mas ter Cotton Spinners declared that the recent unsatisfactory condition of the cotton trade is caused undoubtedly bv the gamblers having used the futures market. This Federation which repre- sents the South's best customer re- solved to discontinue the practice of buying futures and to lay in stocks of actual cotton purchasing direct from the grower or Hs agent.
 Forty years of experience in rais- ing and marketing cotton since the civil war has shown the farmer that he has not received a fair average price for his product, and now the speculative combines, the fakir crop estimator ,and all the machinery Of exchanges admonish him that he will not do as well in the future as in -tha past.
 What shall he do? On his action depends largely the happiness and prosperity of millions not only at home but in every civilized land
 Shall he continue to bow his neck to the speculative yoke or will he make one supreme voluntary sacrifice and place his business on a higher, safer and more conservative basis and fully emancipate it from the thralldom that threatens to destroy it7
 The voluntary cooperation of all farmers is impracticable but all can be required to contribute toward an

The psspIssd Left Hsad.

The despised left hand makes good
its claims in many cases to be the
DETER OF the two. The fingers that
tolch and adjust with such nicely the
strings of the violin are surely as
cunning as those that move the bow.
The hand that guides the reins and

the crowded streets is quite assuming

the hand that yields the whip. But
great is fashion; unanswerable Is
theory.
