Pleasant Valley Letter -Com* Fatht ^ ment on Bucket Shops and the Price of Col Cotton. Mayjk I - / It is said that death and taxes ser are the two most certain thiols in the world. I thiuk that the l)urni next most certain thing is that ^or in the course of human even's *ias ^ oil fiAiiflinrrt f irmnro of rlivrnam ftUtJ t OlA MVUVUVi u &ni lUOlO * V Ui T U* O times and places theorize on and **cu8s" and discuss the price of w?r^ cotton. On seeing quite a num- lvnow ber of bales of the fleecy staple n Pro< being hauled to town a few days l)0r,e ago, your correspondent fell a Ca into a contemplative mood and PaR8e began to soliloquize somewhat 8rouc as follows : Did not ' he South- w^'1 ern States make a mistake when ^' they passed laws destroying the ^ew bucket shops? The Southern ^le ai people are all bulls aud the 18 ***' members ot the New York cotton ^und exchange who are financially begat able to do auything are nearly ai'^ all bearB, and it seems that the ^rouj South in pursuing a suicidal po- ra!,r^ licy when she takes away from ,,f>' her owu people the privilege of rendering aggressive bull sup Hn<^ * port to the cotton market. Daniel * v a'" J. Sully, the erstwhile cotton '*le ( king, who raised the price of cot- ^ ton a lew years ago to 17 ceuls, ,nau> did so with the solid support of the Southern speculators, and ,0 did it in spite oi the combined r,!iKe opposition of therestof the New H0,s c York Cotton Exchange Since re8,|l' the abolition of the bucket shops ' *ie . in the South the price of cotton ''le 1 has gradually gone down, and ln^ 11 who is thereto help bring it bark Th to a good price since the South- 11 ern speculators have been depriv- norm ed of their only medium of a ^ "boosting" the market? The a bucket shops doubtless had their ot',or bad features, but it seems some- wont what absurd to kill the Southern ren" bulls on account of a so-called moral issue and then let the ln& 11 New York bears llourisli like the nec,i green bay tree. Before destroying her bucket shops the South *iai* shou'd have restricted and re PaPe gulated them and then proceeded ve^' ' to rout the gambling element of wom; the New York cotton exchange. manJ This laet we must yet do if we Prcm would insure a better price lor Inagl cotton; and if the South will utler make as great an effort to do HU,C" . . ...... .. with ini8 as sue uia 10 destroy me ? bucket shops, we may yet have 41 peace within our borders and prosperity within our palaces".
