Proposed Tax on Cotton Sales Faces Opposition in Washington
Washington dispatch reports George Cornwall of New York opposing Senator Conover's plan to tax cotton sales for future delivery. Proponents say the tax targets speculation and protects exchanges, while Cornwall warns it harms growers and recalls how advances in the New York Cotton Exchange now enable rapid, low-cost financing and delivery. Also included are brief notes on the New York exchange’s global reach and a local anecdote about a York county man whose formerly enslaved workers remain with him after the war.

Sweet potato prospects urge Southern crop shift from cotton
The article argues sweet potatoes offer higher returns than cotton, noting yields of 100 bushels per acre possible on land that grows half a bale of cotton with similar effort. It warns many acres remain uncultivated and urges farmers to diversify, prophesying cotton goods will move to Indian mills as U.S. mills shift abroad. It calls for Southern investment in manufacturing to accelerate this shift.
