now a seller of cotton upon that ex-
change must deliver the real stuff and
he must keep the prices at which he
sells cotton on the exchange sufficient
ly above the price at which the farmers
are selling spot cotton to be sure that
he can get the cotton and deliver it if
the buyer demands 1t. The more they
sell on the New York cotton exchange,
the more careful must they be to keep
the price high so that they may be sure
if the buyer calls for the cotton they
can get it without a loss, and the New
York cotton exchange has been changed
from an organization which prior to last
year was constantly depressing the price
Of cotton, into one which must keep up
the price to protect the man selling cot

the farmers of the south last fall to
sell their cotton crop for $4,000, 900
