of a commission provided by the state,
it will have no taxes to pay, no part
of the profits will be expended in
paying dividends, for there will be no
stockholders, and hence no dividends;
such fees as are charged will be eX-
pended for the maintenance and oyer
alton of the warehouse, for taking care
of the bonds that may be required
for building it, for putting in such Ia
bor-saving appliances as will greatly
reduce the cost of handling the cotton
farmer safe storage and handling OF
his cotton at rates based upon the ac-
tual cost of the undertaking.
One of the advantages of such a
plan, it is pointed out, would be to
concentrate acre in New Orleans a
very large proportion of the entire
cotton supply of the South. This
would naturally attract buyers and
spinnerS from all over the world, for
here they would be able to find at all
times any grade of cotton they might
require and in any quantities ii might
be desired. This, it is claimed, would
take the control of prices out of the
hands of Liverpool and New York, and
make New Orleans the dominating
factor in fixing the price of the sta
pie The plan enables the farmers,
to a very large extent, to control the
situation They could feed the mar
ket gradually and in proportion to
its needs. instead of Cutting it in the
middle of the season and thereby
forcing the sale of their cotton TO
spectators at most improbable
prices.
These spectators make the cotton
producers pay through the nose" for
the risks they run and the chances
they take in carrying the products
until it is needed by the mills, and it
is calculated that the large profits
made by them would go to the farm
er under the holding plan. The farm
err, instead OF the Spectator, would
carry his cotton, he would be able to
do so at much cheaper rates than
the speculator can do it under present
existing conditions, and he would save
the enormous profit the Speculation
charges for carrying the cotton over
from one season to the next.
We have not yet been able to give
that attention to the project which its
Importance should command; it is GER
taialy one of the most ambitious
schemes ever proposed in connection
with cotton handling, and judging from
the nigh endorsements the plan has
received, We must assume that it is
practicable and desirable.

One of the results of the great con-
yention of the National Farmers I'M
ion which held a special session IN
New Orleans during the current week
has been to rivet public attention
upon the plan proposed by Mr.. w b.

pointment of a committee Of sixteen

This Joint committee assembled
yesterday and listened TO an address
by Mr.. I thompson in which he outlin-
ed his plans for the establishment OF
a great holding warehouse in this
city. The plan suggested by MI
Thompson does not interfere with the
warehouse established in the interior
by the Farmers Union, out it pro-
poses a quasi-public institution with
a capacity OF from l SOC, 600 to 5000

The race1meeting will undoubtedly be
the greatest ever held in the South,

bright. Over three hundred horses

the presence of Governor GilchTist and
staff, and the Governor will formally
open the gates to the public. The sec
