Indications are that the gather
ing of Governors in Washington on
November 80 will bring together
the largest number of executives
ever known in the country's his
tory. Thirty of them have already
signiied their intention Of being
in Washington on that day. The
reason for this remarkable gather
ing is to lnaugurate movement to
change the date of the presidential
inauguration to later date than
March 4. One more agreeable for
sight seeing and pageantry is de-
sired. The date OF Washington 9

First Ginners' Report
BuIIish

The first census report of the
season on the amount of cotton
ginned, including all cotton ginned
up to the 25th of September, was
flashed to the Cotton Exchange at
IL O'Clock Monday morning, local
time. It was seen to be very bull
ish and put prices up about Is
points from the lowest of the morn.
ing in less than twenty minutes,
and at IL o'clock we're 10 points
above the days lowest with the in.
dications that the big short interest
that has been accumulated would
cover.
Up to the 25th of, September,
2,s5s,o3l bales had been ginned.
While there was no reports on the
amount of cotton ginned last year
up to the 25th OF September there
was one showing the amount Of
cotton g,nned up to the 18th of
October, twenty-three days later.
That report showed GALS, 900 bales
ginned.
The total amount of cotton in
sight so far this year is 1900, 900
bales, proving the farmers are hold
ing back 1000, 900 bales, which is
an excellent showing.
While there are no methods Of
direct comparison, the census de-
partment gets its reports from the
ginners who are members Of the
National Ginners' Association.
That association is out with a de-
tailed report to-day, showing that
all over the United States 20 per
cent. less Of cotton was glnned this
year than last up to the 25th of
September. This national ginners
report also puts down the estimate
of tins years yield at "a per cert
less than last year, which would
mean q crop this year of only o.
O70,00O, which is one of the small
est estimates of the crop SO far
made this year.

Victim a Terrorist Leader.


An independent investigation seems
to establish beyond question that the
man killed was terrorist leader. His
passport, of course, was fictitious, but
the man was foreigner, not a Russian.

been stopping from time to time since
the middle of January Mccullough was
described as a very intelligent-look ing
man between 80 and 40 years of age.
resembling more a Frenchman than an
Englishman, speaking French with the
fuency of native. He also spoke Eng
lish which, however. he had little oc-
casion to use at the hotel where he
kept much to himself. going away on
frequent short trips just before Grand
Duke Sergius was assassinated the man
was absent for two days, which might
connect him directly with the grand
dukes murder. Mccullough protested
to be engaged in business, but in view
of what has happened his movements
are admitted to have been mysterious.
Some of the police are inclined to
think Mccullough was direct emissary
of the Paris revolutionary organization.
At the British embassy and consulate
Mccullough is unknown. It is not be
sHeved he was a British subject.
Royal Family Terror-s Stricken.
The car and the members of his
family are again stricken with ter
ror by the revelation Of a plot to kill
either himself, one of the grand dukes
or a high government official. The
plot was revealed through the pren1a-
ture explosion Of the bomb at the
Hotel Bristol. In the room Of thn
owner of the bomb, who was killed
was found a calendar with black lines
drawn around March II. The discov-
cry has caused the doubling of the

CONFIDENCE IN BUSINESS OUT

Weather Conditions Favorable and
Industrial Situation Causes Little
Interruption to Trade

New York, March 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Confidence has become more general
through resumption Of outdoor work,
opening Of spring trade and eypeeta-
ton that the war will soon terminate.
Weather onditions are favorable in
most sections of the country, and there
is little interruption because of labor
controversies. Some inconvenience
was caused by the local strike. and re
tail trade suffered Temporarily, but in
the aggregate, the commercial loss was
not extensive. The most gratifying
news of the week emanates from the
iron and steel industry, where unpre-
cedented output of pig iron is not pro-
ductiye Of accumulated stocks Other
leading manufacturing operations are
making steady progress, although
larger orders would be welcomed by
cotton mills aid shoe shops. In those
lines the buyers are exhibiting great
caution, limiting purchases to imme-
diate needs

in the United States against 259 last
year, and % in Canada compared with
% a year ago.
Bradstreet's says: The merchandise
movement in practically all sections
save a portion Of the south has ex-
banded considerably, the railways have
begun to win out of their car-conges-
ton troubles and are handling very
large traffic, prepare tions for an active
building season are reflected in the mar
ket for material and the iron and steel
and allied industries report keen de-
nland unprecedented consumption for
this season, the only complaint being
that deliveries of crude and finished
products are not up to consumers
needs. Retail trade. shows little expan-
sion as yet and the late Easter season
faVors some continued quietness, but
no complaint comes from this source
except in the metropolis, where the
transportation strike affects sales. Col
leetions lag, except at few western
points, which report Improvement.
Money is phenomenally easy. {,
