in New Orleans.
OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
Gathering Will Occur January 24, 25
and 26- Object Set Forth by Presi¬
dent Harvie Jordon.
President Harvie Jordan makes the
announcement that the southern cot¬
ton growers' meeting in New Orleans

pose of organizing and consolidating
southern agricultural associations into
a central body with a bureau ot' infor¬
mation on the lines of the United i
States department of agriculture, it
is not intended to discredit the gov- ,
eminent bureau, but to supplement its |
information.
“We propose to know as much about
the business of the spinners as they
do about ours,” said Mr. Jordan. “As I
it is now, they know everything about I
us, and wo are in tin* dark. Among l
the other tilings, it is our object to
bring about closer relations between
the manufacturer and producer, that
the price may be fixed by laws of sup
ply and demand, and not by th - spec¬
ulator. To finance the cotton sit.ua
tion; to induce a rapid organization
of coton producer.*: in every cotton
growing county and to establish a bu¬
reau of Information which will give
the planters reliable data as to acre¬
age, average condition of growing
crop, prospective yield, cost of deliv¬
ery to spinners, cost of manufacturing,
price at which manufactured goods
ait sold, consumption of American cot¬
ton by the mills of the world and the
value, if any. Ellis D. Smith, a mem¬
ber of* the convention from South Car¬
olina and owner of the five largest
mills in that state, will propose a com¬
mittee to visit the cotton manufactur¬
ing centers of the east and Europe to
investigate conditions for the advice
and benefit of the association."

Lawson, of Boston, with being respon¬
sible for the recent break In copper
shares. ;ir ived in Boston Friday and
'vas ...<•! at tile Hotel Touraine by Mr.
Lawson. The nature of the state
menis issued by both Colonel Greene
and Mr. Lawson, but particularly by
Colonel Greene, who considered that
Mr, Lawson was to blame for the raid
upon the stock of the G roc no Consoli¬
dated Copper Company, together with
the market developments of the past
few Jays, all had combined to suggest
the possibility of a clash between the
two operators.
So far as became known, however,
nothing of ho kind took place, and Col¬
onel Greene returned to New York on
the 5 o’clock train Friday afternoon,
after having been in conference with
Mr. Lawson since 9:45 a. m.
Added Interest was lent to the inci¬
dent through tlio presence of police,
and bv the rather unexpected manner
in which Colonel Greene and Mr. Law
son met at the hotel.
