The American Cotton Associa tion. 1 hrough its finance commit tee, Tuesday issued a statement urging the farmers to hold their col ton for the minimum price re ocnMv decided upon at t lie cotton conference at New Orleans, and not to place it upon the market as soon as i inncd. thus adding to the lircs< lit depression. I lie statement follows : “The American Cotton Associa tion urges the larmers ol all the cotton states to continue to stand hv the prices named at the New Orleans eo'\ention on September <). The juice lixed was thirty six cents for Sept, with a sliding scale of half a cent increase each month until the |>riee of *•() cents is reach, ed in May. This pi-ice was agreed upon a Dor much discussion an*! is recognized all over the country as a conservative price, in fact, a low price. At t 1 i price, the spinners ea i operate their mills and make a 1 ifciuchdniis profit. No spinner 'ms yet complained that the price we. too high The farmers, how ever, are asking t spinners to take af firmative action and declare that the price a fair one and that llk \ wiii holy, maintain it. “The mi e of cotton today at f.,riy icrts itr pound is a. low iui< c coma it ring the cost o'' pro- duct ion.

There is no denial of the fact that cotton at forty cents per pound is the cheapest commodity thut is being sold today in the world’s markets. I jet the farmers not he deceived by the tremendous amount of propaganda that is be ing circulated in reference to the lack of credit in Europe. They can rest assured that there will he no idle spindles in Kurope. The American spinners are prospering almost beyond calculation. The Kuropean spinners will not stay out of the game. “The industrial agent of the Coiled States government sta tioned in London has just wired his department at Washington that he has made a full investiga tion and that the British mills have not enough cotton on hand to hist them two weeks.

Germany is ready to buy cotton. Her mills are intact. She is ready to buy several mil lion bales. “In the meantime, the Ameri can mills are not idle. Manufac turers are unable to supply the trade with cotton goods. Cotton goods are advancing steadily ev ery day. There is no reason why cotton should have declined SSO a bale. It could not have declined on account of the cotton goods market. It could not have declin ed on account of the prospect of a bumper crop, for this is not so. A great surprise is in store for th<' cotton world. The deteriora tion of the crop has been very ra pid. It is doubtful if ten million bales are produced. This will not supply the needs of the world. “Cotton farmers should not. be deceived about the carry-over crop from last year. The amount ofspinnablo cotton carried over is very small. “If the cotton farmer will only hold his cotton, stand by the or ganization and refuse to sell, he will get the minimum price named at New Orleans; not only this, but a much larger price. The watchwords are ‘organize,’ ‘stand steady,’ refuse to sell unless the minimum price is offered.” NEGROES INDORSE LYNCH ING OF COX.
