City of Mexico: The gold stand
ard went into operation yesterday
without the slightest jar or disturb
ance in social or business circles. The

Southern Farmers Will Plant

New York, May 2.-The Journal OF
Commerce today will print its first
regular cotton report for the season
of 1905. Over 1880 replies have been
received, their average date being
April 25, and the chief points of in
quiry:
1. The acreage for 1905; and
2. The consumption of fertilizers.
"The South evidently intends to
plant less cotton and more of other
crops than last year-how much less
of cotton it is yet altogether too early
to determine. At the close of April
the season was fully two weeks late.

Protecting Against Rate Reductio

Protecting Against Rate Reduction.
Atlanta, Ga.-The recent PROPOSE
ton of J. Pope Brown, Chairman of
the Georgia Railroad commission, to
reduce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Order
Of Railway Conductors, and unions OF
The blacksmiths, machinists and teieg-
raphers, boilermakers, railway train
men, carpenters and joiners, clerks
and car men. These organizations en-
ployed an attorney especially to rep
resent them: who urged that such a
reduction would work against the
prosperity of the state and lead to a
reduction in the number of railroad
employees, as we'll as of their wages.
The Travellers Protective Association
also protested that a reduction, as
proposed, would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.
