We have sef n cotton decline regularly from

The average price which the cotton crops of
the South have brought in New York since the

farmer, has been about 21£ cents, and yet
what have we recived for them ?
Let the farmers bring forward their cotton
and pay their debts, and then*bold on to tbe
balance until the world needs it. We feel
confident the price will continue to decline
until it tails below 15 cents in New York. To
sell at lower prices than are now prevailing
will bankrupt the whole farming community.
We say therefore, got out of debt and hold the
