Mr. Parker. v T' ,i . The Southern mills do not wish to see a decline In the price of cotton 1 and the stand of the government Is unfair. . Apparently this movement was originated in Wall street by the bears, who have' Teen Belling to keep the price of cotton down, and who, by . this reason, wish to force Messrs. Hayne, Brown ' and others to show their hands. That part of the press dispatches which alludes to a contract v of February;26th, referred to an agree-. ment by the SoutheTh mills to take care of cotton tendered in New, York, , so as to keep the price of cotton up. The Southern mills do not wish to see a decline in the price of cotton for . 1 two reasons. In the first place to a considerable . extent they have pur- : chased cotton in the belief that the high prices prevailing during the Fall and -Winter were more 01 less Justi fied by the crop outlook.. In the sec ond-place they regard 'it exceedingly problematical what will te th,e utte of the crop this yea and what should - be a legitimate price ior cotton-next Fall. On the exchange the prevail- irig prices for Fall cotton are how ap proximately 12 1-2 cents and so far as we can see those prices should prevail, in the Fall. If through tne selling. movement on the part of the bears the prices for Fall deliveries are material ly, reduced, buyers of goods will fix their estimate of the value of goods on the basis of those reduced prices of futures; whereas there is every rea-. son to believe that an abnormal de mand for cotton in tbe Fall will keep prices sustained for the spot -cotton, in all probability above 12 1-2 cents even though the crop, be very large."
