The cKy of Baltimore means bullae*

DOTTON proposition to concerned.
In one day's time the subscriptions
for this purpose hare Jumped from
M.1S0 to 97,10* and now the
fidelity and Deposit Company of
hat city proposed to purchase $50,500
worth of cotton. The Baltimore
Clearing House has under consider stioa
a Wan submitted by .a committee
of the Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association to raise a fund
of at toast a million dollars to lend
to merchants having Southern accounts.
The object of this scheme
Is to enable merchants to take cotton
In payment of debts owing by
Southern merchants and this will
mean the financing of a hlg part
t?f the surplus crop. In other words.
It will enable the cotton grower to
use his cotton as cash. New warebouses
are now being constructed all
aver the cotton-growing sections for
the storage of cotton nntll the foreign
demand. Is resumed. This city,
u already stated through these colQmni,
has formed a storage warehouse
association and the work of
constructing a mammoth warehouse.

being done. The farmers and merchants
mast hare money with which *
to meet their obligations. To take
as much as poeelMe of the surplus
cotton off the market for the present,
the BUT-A-BALE COTTON
morement was started and the
scheme has met with a hearty response
all over the Booth and 1s
extending to northern dtlee as well.
This pear's cotton crop will be
approximately 14.SOO.OOO bales. The
domestic consumption Is estimated
at possible 6,000,000 bales. Under
ordinary circumstances Europe takes
the surplus, but because of the war
most all of the European mills are
closed. If cotton Is thrown on the
market It will sell at leas cost than
production, probably making fortunes
for speculators and those who
can afford to hold It. while many
of the farmers and small merchants
and small financial Institutions will
hA miln&ii TK? nrV_?_l?iT ?i
sltlon Is to remedy this condition
of Affairs and the Dally News Is
gratified to learn that everywhere
there Is a movement looking towards
the help of the farmer and merchant.
No farmer should dispose of his ootton
for leas than ten cents. Hold
It f* the ?'o?ean of the hour, and
Washington Is among those towns
that proposes to help the farmer In
holding It no as to realise a living
price.
