Price against the Xew York cot ton exchange, Senator McLaurin said today: ."The Southern Cotton association, realizing after the institution of Mr. Price's suit that it was an attempt to eradicate the worst evils for which the cotton interests of the south have been afflicted for years, requested-'me to come to Xew York and see if they could not in sone way be represented in the suit and lend such assistance as was possible in the eradication of the evils complained of. "The average man has not been able before to comprehend the subtle and insidious manner in which the price of cotton has been depressed by the system of grading on the Xew York cotton exchange, but we think that we now see the cause of the de pression and an opportunity to cor rect the evil, and believe that in the long run it will redound not oniy to the advantage of the producer, but to the cotton trade generally, including the Xew York exchange. "The methods adopted by the clique in control of the Xew York cotton ex change have been so successful in the past that, in their over-confidet ce, those in control have at last raised the abuses to such magnitude, and have at the same time placed them selves ir such a position with regard to the market that they have over reached themselves, and have given the south the very opportunity it needs. I 'believe that those interests have vastly over-sold for July deliv ery in the entire amount of spinnable cotton left in the country, and that they have done so solely with the idea of making deliveries through the Xew York exchange of a lot of riff ran! which, does not deserve the name of cotton. Of course their scheme, which has heretofore worked so well, becomes ineffective whenever they can not consummate it by making such deliveries, and I believe that if they can at once be brought to a realizing sense of the fact that they can no longer deliver to consumers of cot ton, and purchasers, of it who intend to make ultimate delivery of it to the consumers, the sort of cotton which has been handled around on the ex change, without any Intention that it should ever get outside of the ex change warehouses, the correction of ; the abuses which we complain of will be easily obtained. "For that reason I hope that every man who has a contract for the de livery of cotton on the Xew York exchange will lend us his support in compelling proper classification of such cotton under the rules of the exchange. If we can once compel the liquidation of contracts for a con siderable amount by the delivery of spinnable cotton called for by them I believe that we will have taught the lesson that will go a great ways to prevent the recurrence-of the abuses of which we complain. "My retainer, of course, is even broader than the interests of the plaintiff in this suit, and therefore, I hope that I shall have the "benefit of the co-operation and advice of all persons who are agreed that the prin ciple of the suit it right, and particu larly of those whose demands for a strict fulfilment of their outstanding contracts, will help to force the ex change to adopt the reforms sought to be effected, and with the result in view I shall be very glad to get in communication witn all such parsons, for I fully believe that a co-operation of all interested in effecting the re forms sought will undoubtedly result j to the advantage of all concerned. "With regard to the attitude of the south upon the entire question I think I may safely say that nothing in re cent years has cr t d so. much inter est there, and has aroused so strong public sentiment as has the prospect of remedying the abuses-of which Mr. Price complains, and I believe the cotton interests there are unanimous ly behind Mr. Price's endeavors."
