 WAREHOUSE Committee at Work in

 Higher Prices, The Prepos.a warehouse is Designed to store Cotton Up to Three san- : ilon Baies--Unasr state
 Control. $ q

New Orleans, La, Nov. i3.--With q stirring appeal to every interest in the South, agricultural financial and conl- InerctaI, to hold cotton and co-operate for higher prices. the Joint conferences committee Of the National Farmers Un- ion and Citizens Committee of New Orleans. adjourned tonight after long session. The appeal Is addressed to the people of the cotton belt, and is as follows:
 we. the Joint committee of the Ma tiona1 Farmers Union and of the finan- cial and commercial Interests of New Orleans. realizing that confidence in cotton market conditions has been in1- paired. and the esapprehension thereby engendered has caused more rapid marketing of cotton than has ever been known, and believing that the holding Of cotton ct the present time will permit the healthy assimilation of temporary ,superabundance and re- store normal conditions under which raFnuneFative prices may be obtained, hereby eaKnestly appeal to every farm CT, merchant and banker and other holders and owners of cotton. to hold back. 90 far as they can. their present holdings asa not sell unless absolutely compelled to do 60 until the price of cotton shall have reached a substan- tiaIIy increased figure.
 I've especially request all merchants and bankers of the cotton belt to ex- tend the obligations of the cotton grower. when called upon to do SO. for q reasonable period. and to do all other things in their power to aid and encourage such growers and hold CTS of cotton. believing as We do. that all the business conditions of the world and especialIyy Of the cotton world steadily point toward better prices than now obtain.
 We believe that such concerted and determined action will logically and In all prababfiityg increase the present ii- ateasatA nriee aala fer e0tsen. ''s
 Not only were the foFsHoing inime- date relief measures urged but joint .eona1nitt6es vera named to investigate m pubItc worsh0uss plan.
 Tl1fs plan calls for a quasi public commission. appointed by the state of Louisiana. to control the operation of the warehouse, which will be built on the river front at New Orleans, so that cotton may be delivered by raiI or water Into storage. and by me- chanical. deylcess shot Into the ships holds alongside the wharvea. Such d warehouse is deeigned to store from 1,500.000 to 5000, 900 bales of cotton at a net saving Of s2 a bale on the cost of handling. storage and insurance alone, irrespective of the market price.
 The warehouse, being quasi-pubEc would have no dividends to pay and all earnings would go into the cost of operation, maintenance, Improvement and retirement of bonds.
