Oct. 25. He is president of the
American Cotton company.
■\Vhon asked what there was in
the movement of southern farmers
to hold tlieir cotton until the price
went up, Mr. Heurles said:
“There is a great deal in it this
time. Heretofore suck schemes
on the purt of the cotton growers
have failed for several good rea-
sons, and tine planter has never
yet found himself in a position to
command the price of his product.
He has been forced to sell his cot-
ton os soon as he could gef it out
of the field in order to raise money
for his creditors. This necessarily
meant akacriflce.
“Ganges have come about. In-
surance on cotton has been re-
duced by the round bale system
and the capacity of the warehouse
has been greatly increased. Capi-
tal is now ready to build these
warehouses at places where the
cotton production is considerable,
and when they ore built tji.e plant-
er may bring his cbUon there,
er may bring his col ton there,take
a certificate on its delivery and ne-
gotiate the certificate wherever lie
pleases, for it, will be as good us

his cotton at lhe-m,arhct pci»** if
he sees lit or Sell it outfight at tbp

y >AiWe are ready.to enter into (Ik
local warehouse scheme with the
farmers," resumed Mr. Hearles.
“und I am fairly convinced that it
will in time completely revolution-
ise the method of marketing cot-
ton.’,’
by printing linn# and spread rap-
idly through the building. From
there it spread to the Masmiio
temple, the Methodist shurch and
tjie Webster blocks, which were
also totally destroyed. Heveral
small buildings were also Imcned.
