The weekly state ment giving the movemeut nt lending In terior towns shows a decided drop In re ceipts. The spot market Is steady, some business doing. Medium aud better grndea are harder to buy. New York. April 12.-J. H. Bache A Co.: Cables were at about n parity with our. New York closing, but the good showing of spot markets abroad cs<Vised a favor able Influence on our opening. Kpots were strong lu Liverpool, with fairly good sales. There was some short covering In this mar ket on the |Mtrt of pit traders and buying on the part of the South. Reports were re ceived from the eastern part of the belt of some damage to the plant which is above ground. One of the features of the early session was the persistent selling of Oetober and January by brokers believed to l,e nctiiig for the bull crowd. The ft ton market does not seem to give nuy In dications of getting out of the rut. Not withstanding the rntivoly firm spot markets, prices did not advance, gt the same time more or less fnvorabb* new crop news does uot seem to eucohrage much selling. FRANK HAWKINS. President. H. M.

DAVID WOODWARD, Special to The Georgian. (From Hayward, Vick A Clark.) Chicago, April 12.—Bartlett, Frasier A Carrington: The newe wjb are receiving from tho Southwest shows that the lu- sect pest Is steadily moving northward, Increasing lu numbers ae they go, and tear ing very little vegetation behind them, lu Oklahoma they have flourished In ralu and sunshine with temperatures ranging from 32 to 92, and are apparently as numerous today lu southern Kansas nml Missouri as they were three weeks ago In Oklahoma. The drought aids their progress by weaken ing tho plant, but It Is very doubtful if rams at this time would have any perma nent effect ou stopping their ravages. Without some Immediate radical ehauge, the southwesteru Wheat crop seeine serious ly threatened. The Chicago Record-Herald: Finley Bar- »U’s crop expert gives the following detail ed report from Caldwell, Kaus.: "1 con- aider the crop outlook very serious. The bugs are In every field and becoming more numerous each day. The fields of late wheat, which comprise about 20 or 25 per cent of the entire wheat crop, In my Judg- all dead, and the bugs are in cluate •u the leaves, sucking the life out of the dant. The fields near South lluven, Kuus., .jegln to show the bare dead spots, the same as the fields In central Oklahoma did when I first arrived there. Wheu I wus here ou March 20 the bug had not made Its appearauce. On March 26, there were bugs in every field, but could not notice any damage, and now the fields are sickly und yellow. If they continue at the pres ent rote I enti uot see any ho,.e for the small wheat and oats. And I do uot see anything to prevent their continuing to destroy the wheat. The fields of soft wheat that are big and rank, I do not look for the bug to damage to any great extent, although the hugs are plentiful In those same fields, but there Is so much foliage to destroy that I think tho plant will out grow the bug. The farther south and west I go the dryer the field* lire, and I think a goot* heavy rain would do a great deal toward delaying the bug.

Town Topics: The professional ehnrneter of the market was again demonstrated by the absolute lack of effect of many fnVm* ble developments. The sentiment Is more bearish than otherwise, but this Is usually the ease when the situation seems to be hopeless. While many contend the present dividend rates on railroad nnd Industrial se curities can not be maintained. It will be well to remember that conditions today are quite the reverse of what they were six months ago, with stocks many points higher nnd money lu very poor supply. We think the whole situation Is depend ent on money conditions, nlthough uncer tainty ns to the final winter wheat yield inny be used from time to time ns a on for selling.
