!, in the company. If they hold its
capital stock they of course, can con
troll it's policy. If this company can
raise it's capital stock it will then
have no difficulty in financing any
amount of cotton which may be turned
over TO it TO be held for higher prices.
The effect of such company, with a
capital stock of this size. operating in
the cotton market in the interest Oh
the cotton planter alone, must and
will have a powerful effect in steady
ing the market and preventing disas
trous slumps in price, which the South
ern cotton planter has been accus
! toned to witness whenever ii was ap
parent that the cotton crop was larger
! than the immediate demand for cot
| ton This company can carry over fOr
the planter the surplus cotton from
year to year, and thereby steady the
cotton market and bring about almos'
uniformity Of price.
The object Of the company is mol
to Cypress the spinners by holding
back cotton, and forcing the market
too high. but to keep cotton above The
cost of production. with a fair profit
! to the planter. and to keep prices
steady, which is result desired al
much by the spinners of cotton as 81
the producers.
The board of directors confidently
appeal. not only to the producer, bu
to the interested cotton planters o
the South, and not only to cotton
planners, but To the bankers, mer
chants, business aud professional mel
of the South generally. to subscribe
to the capital stock of this compan.
in order that it may begin its bene
! fetal operations at the earliest pos
i sible moment.
Where there is union there il
! strength. So let us stand togethe
and carry out what we have under
taken.

state that we have won the first great
fight into which we entered three
months ago. There will be a heavy
curtailment in the cotton acreage and
the use OF commercial fertilizers

connection with the present enormous

position. and I am satisfied that prices
will rapidly advance as soon as the
facts become known to the cotton con.

the service which he had rendered the

The densely crowded streets, the

police nor the troops were able to
move it and the president, foreseeing
possible catastrophe in the event of
a panic, finally gave up the attempt to
speak and left the platform.
