The Weather.

Probably the coolest weather In sew
eral years was experienced at Donald
sonville Wednesday night, when the
mercury dropped to Is degrees. Ice
was plentiful and many are the tales
of broken water pipes and shattered
pitchers. The temperature moderated
considerably Thursday, but neyertbe-
less the thermometer ~ aged to chalk
up another freeze during the night.
Yesterday was somewhat warmer than
Thursday, and today the weather man
is at his old trick of following a cold
spell with day Of raw, damp, dis
agreeable weather. If previous expe-
rience counts for anything week S
cold wave having followed a heavy
rain Monday-Donaldsonville is ii
for further frigid doings during the
coming week.

farmer who fails to reduce his acreage
in accordance with the plans adopted
by the convention. For the more dis
tant future greater ends were demanded
and broader plans formulated by the
convention. A stricter surveillance OF
the transportation companies was de-
cided upon, and closer trade relations
between the manufacturer and the
consumer, TO the end that the middle
mans profits may be elimin ated; the
extension of American commerce to
the distant or unknown markets of the
world was urged, that consumption
may be increased and the south be
enabled to give free rein to its pro-
ducing capacity.
To accomplish these ends, the mer-
chants, planters and bankers of the
cotton country have banded together.
At the annual convention of south
ern bankers, which was held in New
Orleans this week, the sum of $40, 600
was pledged to the organization and
inauguration Of the enterprise, pro-
vided it shows virility and force. The
merchants and bankers have expressed
their willingness to aid the planters in
carrying their surplus cotton until
such time as it can be disposed of with
profit, and the farmers have pledged
themselves to curtail the acreage, to
practice diversidcation and to retain
their present holdings until satisfac-
tory price is offered.
OF course it is not to be- expected
that the plans of the convention will
be carried out in full everywhere, but
thers. IL every reason to hope that suf-
6cient cooperation will be manifested
to bring about at least the proposed
reduction of Is per cent in acreage. It
may not be possible for all planters to
hold back the balance of their cotton
until 10 cents pound can be secured
for it, but the disposition to hold is
undoubtedly very strong and it is safe
to assume that every farmer will retain
his cotton as long as he possibly can
and certainly until quotations have
improved sufficiently to enable him to
make reasonable profit.
The convention declined to go on
record as opposed to futures and re-
fused to adopt or indorse any plan OF
public warehousing. Instead Of crit
icising the government crop report,
as it was expected would be done, the
convention announced its emphatic
and cordial approval Of the govern
ment's efforts and called upon every
farmer to assist in making the reports
even more perfect and reliable. The
entire proceedings OF the gathering
were marked with a degree OF good
sense and conserv atism that promises
the maintenance of the movement and
the bringing of its plans and objects
to complete and successful fruition.
At the last meeting of the conven-
ton permanent organization was ef-
fected by the election of the following
officers: Harvje Jordan, OF Georgia,
president; Col. E. S. Peters, 81. Texas,
vice president; John NJ. Parker, Of
New Orleans, secretary and treasurer.
An executive committee of twenty
seven members was provided for,
each cotton reproducing state to have
as many representatives on this COM
mittee as are commensurate with the
size Of the crop produced 10 that state.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE mystery
which has shrouded the recent actions
Of the American Racing association,
formerly the Union Jockey club, has
been somewhat dissipated when a per-
son high in the corporation admitted
that Edward Corrigan, the moving spir-
it of the American Jockey club, owns

Corrigan will manage the track here
and the officials who are to have

essentially the same. The meeting will
open probably late in May and will
continue for not less than sixty days.

since Corrigan has not been suspected
OF connection with the Union track. 1t
serves to explain several mysterious
facts notably the. failure of Union to
send representative to New Orleans,

he soon raced into submission. Ishtar,

end he was tired enough to lie down.
ORC Viva was thrown out of his stride
on the first turn and then made up
ground rapidly. He weakened under

the three-eighths pole and had no

and Rose of Hilo third,
Miller, who had the mount on Ke-
hailan, returned the Holland colt a
winner in the second race at the good
odds of 13 to 2. He was skllfully re-
served behind Salable, the pacemaker,
and then came on and out-gamed the
Ryan geding in fierce drive through
the stretch. Girdlestone came up on the
outside and took Salable into camp in
