Pen sub Alliances were represented and all were enthusiastic over the work of the order. The principal business before the body wa> the fertilizer ?picstion for the ensuing year, and <piite a number ot soc-ehes were made favoriiur ho-.uc mixed fertilizers instead of the ready mixed or commercial preparation. All seemed to favor the phui of I>u\ iiiir the fertilizing ingredients separately and composting t?i* mixing them upon the farm. It was pointed out that there are many advantages to the farmer in this plan, aside from tin; fuet that it is cheaper, and by th ' not meant that the fertilizers so manipulated upon the farms will cost less money simply, but foi the same per centages of tin; fertilizing ingredients, it is cheaper than the rea'dy mixed. While there was a strong senti niotit in favor of pursuing thii plan, there was no vote taker upon the tpiostion, but it was lefi open after interesting discussioi upon it. .1 M Knight, Secy.

"This measure,'' lie said j i "us not proposed :is a panacea or j as a substitute for free silver.? |, Hut its importance as a factor in , bringing about better conditions, i is ti o little appreciated. All fu- j ture dealings are not obnoxious. There is a legitimate future tuisi- j ; ness that should not be interfered ( ' # { j with. My measure seeks to limit' future dealings to actual products | and thus eliminates the speculative trading in wind cotton. In , order to appreciate the injurious effect of speculative dealings in futures it must be understood that j the sellers of futures must make money by a decline of price. The seller of real cotton makes money I by an advance in price. Their interests are diamet licallv opposed. ^ The buyer of cotton for mannfac- j - ture usually inaugurates his buying 1 operations by largo selling orders. ' The effect of large selling orders for future delivery is to depress the price of futures. This enables ' the manufacturer to make a profit, i on his future transaction and then f buy his real cotton at the decline i If a Manchester mill wants 100,-j 000 bales of cotton 1 o unln it inrtiil/1 ' probably cable an order to New s York, but not to buy 100,0001 1 bales. The order would probably be to sell large future contracts 1 for the account ot the mill. The price of futures being forced down by the large sales, the mill would then buv back its own future con. * tracts at a profit. So far no one i but the speculators are hurt or j - helped. But the price of real cot-j r ton has declined with even pace . and the mill buys its real cotton at the decline* Thus the foreign | manufacturer uses the machinery ' | of our cotton exchanges to t he i (letriment of our cotton growers.''
