Mace several yean ago, the prone

4* per cant of all the growers signed
noth an agreement. The cecewary

Otrr own conviction It that the Cal'

toward which we ought to work, and
that we ought to have each an Meal
bat that a vast number of. neighbor

In tha South cotton farmers are suf
fering from gross evils which can ha
corrected by the farmers them selvas
through the simple process of erect,
lag • bonded warehouse aad having
their cotton officially graded aad co
operatively sold. The great work of
the Cotton Association, as wo see It,
should be the active promotion of
•neb local marketing units, bolding

ready the capstone but also to ro
mrmbsr we must lint lay a broad
and dead foundation. In every neigh

should right sow workout plans for

If only this Is largely done, then all

New O,leant, La., April 25.—The
Censial trend In the cotton market
last week wa* strongly lower under
liquidation of the long interest and
freth selling for short account, bat
cd mainly on the idea that a prolong
ed reaction from the advance war
due, although heavy selling appealed
at timer, particularly at the raiddls
of the week in sympathy with unfair
orwbla davalopmsnts in the monel
market but bulged on uniavoiabli
crop new*.
At the highsst the trading month,
were 19 to 32 points over the clou
of the preceding week. Prom thii
there was a steady decline until th<
lowest IcvcUwere rmehed on the clo*
mg session. Hero the markut stood a
net declines of 235 to 267 points
July traded at its highest at 40.16, ,
new high levs! for that position sni
fall off to 37.02, closing at 37.77
Last prices showed net losses for th
week of 220 to 256 points. In th'
spot department middling closed a
41.00, showing a net loss of 7
points
This week the market prohabl
will b* a weather market more thai
anything else, although financial cor
dltlons arc claiming a good deal o
silrmtion from most traders. Ruin
in Texas would be regarded as ahon
the most favorable crop doveiopmei,
that could arise at this time, althougl
warm and dry weather in the easten
bell would be a development almof
as important.
While at opening of this Inst wed
the market acted technically weak
the heavy selling of the sacceedini
