The P.u a lbi!e plan appears I hi- must practicable and feasi hie method of helping to remedy the cotton situation so far brought forward. Through this plan together with the strong holding movement all over the cotton belt the market has al ready been strengthened greatly ami the staple.opening uncertain ly a I a I seven cents, has a beady Ihhmi bought in ihe opej- market at nine cents a poifrvl piato. The banking hous' of Henry Clews at New Yk pre diets that the exchange will re open there with cotton at a 1 tout a nine cent level. Put the ltuy-a-Halc plan has something more in view than the strengthening of the cotton mar ket. Its neeondary aim is to help the farmer in distress, the man who has got collon and hound to turn it inn liately in lo cash. Properly earned out it retires from the market only the 'diHtreHH' cotton and gives most help to the Mian who most needs it.
