Cotton Meeting.
MARKETING CROP DISCUSSED
l. H,. II In His Power to Stop All Forms
of Gambling on the Staple. Direct
Relation Urged.

Washington, DC. May 3. The
General topic of discussion yes
kerday by the international con-
ference of cotton growers and
manufacturers was the market
ng of the product, which en-
braced the questions Of ware
housing. stability Of price and
relations between growers and
manufacturers. Specializing in
bottom was severely denounced.
A. E. Calvin, president of the
Farmers Educational and Co.
lucrative Union, declared that
h had long been the dream of
he cotton growers to abolish all
Intermediate agents, who levy
(oll unnecessarily on the product
IN its journey from the field to
he factory. The grower, he said,
the constant and persistent
oe of all forms and methods Of
otton gambling. Violent fiuct-
lations of the market, he con-
ended, are quite as disturbing
md unprcftable to the grower
IS to the spinner. He voiced
Fhat he said was the unanimous
ointment of the Southern grow
rs to join in any movement
rhich promises to eliminate the
|ambler from the cotton market,
D reduce the marketing expens-
IS, to expediate the delivery of
otton to the spinner and to give
reasonable stability to the mar
(et price. He declared that the
|outh was so completely able to
upply the world with cotton
hat with a proper understand
hg with the manufacturers there
you'd be no necessity for con-
(uctng experiments in Africa
(nd elsewhere. Direct relations
etWeen the growers and manu-
acturers was strongly aruged
A similar stand was taken by
ampbell Russell Of Indian Ter
htory The Southern growers,
e said, were rapidly arranging
system Of warehouses so as to
e able to maintain not only the
liability Of price, but to furnish
ne spinner cotton whenever he
wants il and in whatever amount.
A proposition which met with
ome favor came from T. w,
PAWS, of Texas, which, in urg-
hg direct relations with the man.
facturers suggested that the
manufacturers deal with an
gent of the grower at the ware
louse.
The discussion then took a gen
raj turn, the English delegates
Spressing their pleasure at the
|ulldlng of warehouses, lin.
tead of warehousing cotton ir

Further opposition came to the
nddleman came from w. H.
llller, of Texas, and E. B.
ninth of Arkansas. The former
eVertlng to the question of Mr.
ordan, as to what amount OF
otton would be needed for 1906
aiu that 1t was not a matter
pr consideration so much as thai
le growers will raise what they
