Thomas and others of Now York, whereby a syndicate composed ol tlioso capitalists, would buy 500,000 bales of middlinir cotton at Kl couts. Mr. Jordan is now sending out thc con tract forms to holders of cotton.

''"Tho essence of this contract is the se curing from thc planters of tho soutli not less than 500,000 bales of cotton of the present crop at above mentioned price. Namo_ P. 0. address . .'I also retain-bales of cotton which 1 will pledge to hold for a maximum price bf 15 conts." Thomas a Banker. VJ, ll. Tliomas is at tho hoad of several Now York banks, and is widely interested in financial undertakings. ile lias $12, 000,000 io his own right in this deal in addition ti the cooperation ol' several other financiers. Mr- Jordan declares that New York bankers aro ready at any time to finance southern banks in assisting holders ol cotton for higher prices. Mr. Jordan is confident that this move will assist in putting up thc price and it now remains only for thc farmers to sell their cotton nt thc price mentioned in tho contract, "Thoy may sell it outright at this price said Mr. Jordan, or I hoy may hold for 15 cents. In either event they arc made safe. Tho mills will havo to como aorosw. You will notico that the contract specifies not only thc colton now on hand but also that ol' the new crop in August and Sep tember. Now if tho mills toko all the oolloo thoy need at tho pro.-cnt rate of consumption, they will require 7,DOO,OOO bales hy October 1st. Spinners Can Bay H Conts. "Tho yarn ami cloth print spinners arc quilo able lo pay l l cents a pound for cotton, Mr. .Ionian resumed. "Colton print cloths advanced I'S of a cent a yard last week. Tho Kail Uiver nirls not only paid a dividend on their investment, but also 7 per cent on the wago earnings ol' their employees. You can soe by this (hat thc mills are plenty aide to pay for cotton at a reason^ able price. ll is not a question of work ing a hardship on them. They simply wish to keep the prices down so that they can make money. Mr. Jordan added (bat option contracts would bc malled to any holder of cotton ../ho i? address the association did not Lave. As soon as the contracts arc ao? ocpted fer 600,000 bales, then Thomas and his associates will take thc cotton. Thc amount ol' money involved in this deal is approximately $25,000,000.
