On Monday morning last we were shown a telegram from one of the leading bankers of New Yor?r, asking what the meeting did here Saturday. They | asked for full details to bo wired at their expense. This was probably one of five thousand tele grams cent out by that one firm, the expense of which was enormous. It goes to show how eagorly the movement of tho Southern planters is being watched. It is now up to the farmer to hold his cotton and show to the spoon, lator that he can hold it and do mand a fair price. If the pledg es for reduction of acreage are kept, which of course will be done there is no doubt that the farmers Cjin control the situation. MXJues Will Probated. Charlottsvills, Va., Feb. 20.?
