i The resolution of Congressman Hef
lin, of Alabama, petitioning the con
gress of the tJnlted States and the par
liament of Great Britain to regulate the
cotton exchanges In this country and In
England sq that speculation in cotton
futures will be absolutely prohibited,
was the subject of a prolonged and In
teresting discussion at the meeting of
the International Conference of Cotton
Growers and Manufacturers Wednes
day morning.
The resolution was favorably recom
mended by the committee on buylhg
and selling, which hod It under consid

vored by members of the conference, it
was deemed of too great importance to
be acted upon hastily, and the live or
ganizations composing the conference
voted; through their representatives, to
refer the resolution to each organiza
tion for any action that may be deemed
advisable.
The motion to let the resolution take
thi* course was made by President Bar
rett, of the Farmers’ Union, and was
made only after the argument for and
against the resolution had been carried
