In addition to tho pledge to e asked of the farmer, I would Suggeet that a pledge be Thva aUo from the 'merchants and cotton factors that they will not ad vance money and supplies to those ' who do not alga such a pledge.

This letter la oo very full of good common sense that I should ilka to comment on It. but time and space this connection.

"Vflale I am eecretary of the State ' , yarmers' Alliance, these meetings are , . not called under the auspices of the jUllaaoe or any other farmers' organ -Isatlon; but are called to meet the ; urgent demands of the times. I want them free from everything that would cause a alngle farmer to hesitate to at tend and participate in them. There fore, I auggest that a progressive, , level-headed farmer, one in whom the - people have full confidence and one vWho has executive ability, be made ; chairman of the meeting. The chair man can state the object of the meet- - Ing, which la to formulate a plan to advance and maintain the price of cot- ton at a, point where it will be re munerative to the growers. He can , have the eecretary read any plans that 1 , may be aubmitted in writing.

Letoh ifor Texaa ' Noted An Alleged Error In the Bureau Crop t Estimate Tlie ; Manchester Cloth Market. Correapondence of The Observer. Liverpool, Dec. I. During the laat few days, quite an extensive spot business has resulted, but not a little of It will be it evidence In the pub llshed figures for many a day yet Apart from the general trade takings, a lot of good graded Texaa has chang ed hands from tired holders to mer chants, who had previously contracted ahead for deferred delivery for defi nite lengths of staple. Owing to the mixture of staple In many Texaa ship ments to hand this season, these lat ter have thought It wise to make their own selections here, and thus cover their forward commitments, freeing themselves from further anxiety on this score. This is an object lesson for some of our Texas friends, who have been rather lax in selecting out 28,000 to 30,000 staples, and who forget the cost entailed here when once the bales are stowed In the warehouses. A re mtnHftr nn thin noint mn v not omft amiss, seeing that' on Thursday alone J4,ooo bales cnangea nanas ror tnis cause. The week's sales total 62,060 males; spinners have taken 101,648 boles.

American afloat for Great Ilrituin, 401,000 bales, against 391,000 bales. In the future market, an extensive business has been done.
