Buston says $4,000. 600 maximum
and CoWan says u, 000, 900 minimum,
so it seems to be only a difference be-
tween maximum and minimum.

Farmers seen in Raleigh this week
are generally resolved to hold their
cotton. believing that prices will inn
prove.
r.. I. Miner, State Commissioner of
Agriculture of Texas, has issued an ad-
dress to rme of that State, advis-
ing them to stand firm; that spinners
will soon have to enter market and
prices are bound to rally.

There is no doubt but what there is
a big demand for every pound If this
years cotton crop, and that at n good
price. Knowing this, does il not seem
the part of folly TO sell at the alb
normally low rate prevailing just now.
which rate was fixed by a few gamb-
lers who don't know a cotton stalk

should hold If he must make a sacri-
flee TO do so. This is the hardest test
that is likely to come. and the action
of the grower now means everything.

The first two editorials in the last
edition of Harvie Jordan's paper are
quoted below:
Here is editorial No. /:
The biggest and most dangerous
bear IN the cotton market is the sale
of a bale of cotton by a farmer when
it is not needed Tor immediate CON
sumption. The ~spinners can't spin
paper contracts and chalk marks into
m~erchantable goods. Market the crop
slowly and stop the ruch. 1t is the only
plan that Will produce results that give
good prices to the growers
Here is editorial No. .:
w want to call the attention or
our readers to the cut of the accident
insurance policy on another page of
this issue. and especially to hat sec
ton of it which is understood as per-
tanning to the accident caused by a
runaway. etc. After a good deal of
effort we have arranged TO furnish this
policy TO our readers at the same price
at which we give them the former one
tho this clause. and we would like
TO have every one of you take advan-
tage of his excellent offer and get the
Cotton Journal for one year and his
accident insurance policy for the small
amount of S1.50. We want agents for
this policy in every town in the
south.

From all over the land come re-
ports Of pressure brought to bear by
banks, to induce the selling of agricul-
tural products, SO that gold nay be
drawn from abroad to fill the void left
by the tremendous withdrawal of cash
from the channels of trade during the
past two weeks. This nation is rich
beyond the dreams Of avarice, but its
wealth is in wheat and corn and cot
ton, which must be turned into cash
by selling to the foreigner. The liqul-
dation now under way will continue
for a long time and rallies will be only
temporary. Cotton is tending down
