ferred with the president and Secretary
Cortelyou at the White House on Monday

York Tuesday, and the announcement
was made yesterday in general terms

come to the relief OF the Northwestern
banks, Secretary Corteyou had another
talk with the president at the White House
Monday and it was said afterward that
the government would deposit S 100000
with banks in Minneapolis and St. Paul,
the understanding being that the banks
there will increase their issues of circulat-
ing notes up to the par value of their
capital stock. If necessary, government
funds already deposited with New York
banks to meet the recent crisis will, by
consent of the New York bankers con-

NO CONFEDERATE CONGRESS.

There are some excellent men engaged, we have no idea in the world why, in the latest effort to stir up the race question, says the Charlotte Observer. It is proposed to have Governors of Southern States appoint delegates to form conferences sort of Confederate Congresses if the South must needs turn from the plough and the spindle to wrestle with problem threatening it's very existence. Noth- ing but mischief could come from such a scheme and we are glad to see that this is generally recognized. The Governors appear to be of one mind in the matter. Of those inter- viewed thus far, Governor Glenn, of North Carolina; Governor Swanson, of Virginia; Governor Ansel, of South Carolina, and Governor Com CT, of Alabama, have all declined to make any such appointments, and Acting Governor Moore, of Arkan- sas, expresses such disapproval as the temporary nature of his author ity warranted him in doing In letter to Dr. John E. White, of At lanta. the leader of the movement, Governor Swanson expresses his thorough disapproval of the whole idea There is no friction between the races in Virginia and he would do nothing to disturb the present friendly relations. That Governor Glenn would say the same for North Carolina we make no doubt. With the Governors refusing to act, it is manifest that the plan for an off, cial assemblage must fall through We hope that there will be no race conference of any kind. While we regret that anybody's expectations must be disappointed, this outcome of the agitation gratifies us very much.

Walter Cotter < Co.'s Daily Cotton
 Letter.

New Orleans, La, March S.-Liver- pool again failed to respond to the enthusiasm in New York, but wal whipped into line. On our side, the whole study of the market at present is reduced to watching the clique in New York. Large professional long lines have been accumulated there and are now waiting for an opportu- nifty to realize. A favorable turn ln the weather has weakened this po- sition of this long interest and man. lpulative support has to be kept up until some bullish developments come to the assistance.
 Any suspense in such support $ quickly reflected in other markets as soon this morning. Opening two higher. prices here receded rapidly until firmness was again shown in the near options in New York. Whether to follow bull movement of such character and composition must be left to individual choice and liking.
