merchant-farmer returned homo he
exhibited to his follow merchants and
farmers a contract, whereby he was
to purchase cotton on his local mar.

manufacturer. 1t WAS tho first time
in the history Of tho cotton industry
that European manufacturer and q

the European manufacturers and tho
American producer had been brought
closer together than ever before in
tho history Of the cotton industry.
Able lawyers who passed upon the
provisions of tho contract said that 1t

divide the commission with the farm
