London, May 17.
In sharp, and chilling, contrast. with the tempera- ture of the days of the King's Jubilee, Britain is to-day experiencing the coldest mid-May weather of 64 years.
Snow is falling; and in many parts of the country it has been found necessary to abandon racing. programmes, The Haydock Park course is covered with four inches of snow.
The Welsh Women's Golf Championship at Tenby- and the Dunlop Tournament at Southport both have been stopped owing to snow. At Southport a caddy collapsed owing to the intense cold.
The final stages of both these contests will be replayed to-mor
row,
There is a heavy snowfall at Liverpool, Leeds and Harrogate, while the road from Cumberland to Butham, in North Wales, la im- passible because of the drifts.
Many parts of Scotland and North Ireland are similarly snow- bound. It is feared that the late cold will do large damage to crops in all northern districts, and even In the south.
London's nuon temperature to- dny was 48, compared with 44 yes- terday, but another bitter night is expected throughout the country.
Last night's frost damaged fruit trees extensively. There were 19 degrees of frost at Framborough and. 14 at Kew-Bruder Special.

The Hongkong dollar remains unchanged to-day, as does the Shanghai exchange market. Messrs. Swan, Culbertson and Fritz are informed through Reuter that India sold yesterday, China bought and speculators worked both ways. Last night's messages said the market was uncertain.
Meanwhile there is activity in monetary matters in other directions than silver. President Roosevelt will veto the Patman Bonus Bill and send the message to Congress on Monday, it is expected. France denies she is about to inflate and Ecuador has banned all silver, exports.
