of the Southern Cotton Association
held at Hot Sprlrgs; Ark., fixing the
minimum price on cotton, basis midillDg,
at interior points at~10 cents Is
a low prloe as any firmer could be
isked or advised to bold his cotton
Ten cents per pjund is practically
the bread and miat line and cottoD
sold below that figure, however slight,
barely represent tbe cost of production.
There Is no neoesslty and no kind ol
sensible re?sonlng why the South
should sacrifice at tbe present ma
taring: crop at any prica unasr iu
ceots per pound. There is pc prood reason
why this crop aho ;ld tell for leas
