MANY GOVERNORS PRESENT
No Agreement Reached, and
Work Will Be Resumed
This Morning.

New Orleans, La, October 30.-The
cotton conference. called by Governor
Colqultt. OF Texas. to devise means
for restoring to normal price the
South's great staple crop, after an all
days consideration of different plans
for relieving the present dcmoraiized
situation in the cotton world. did not
reach an agreement, and adjourned at
$3.50 until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Almost every cotton growing State
was represented al the meeting to-day.
The Governors Of Texas. Alabama. Mis-
sissippi. Louisiana and Virginia and
Charles s. Barrett, president OF the
Farmers Union. were among those
present and took an active part in the
proceedings.
At tomorrow's session Governor Col
quit has promised to make public the
first statistics ever compiled for the
benefit of the cotton producer relating
TO the consumption OF cotton and the
estimated demand OF the world for cot
ton of the 1911 season. These figures,
1t IS stated. Will clearly demonstrate
that, even admitting that this seasons
crop will be the largest in the South's
10 cents per pound. Governor Colquitt
said that figures showed that the
worlds demand at the present time was
far greater than the supply.
The figures bearing on the consump-
tion of cotton and the worlds demand
were furnished by American consuls
abroad through Secretary OF state
Knox. They were secured on short
notice. and Governor Colquitt declared
that this fact proved clearly that the
government can furnish such statistics
Tor the farmers bencft throughout the
period OF marketing cotton. and de-
nand for such will be made BY the
conference.

Governor Colquitt. OF Texas. called the
conference, reviewed conditions which
led UP to the present low prices for
