Tiiii Alij AIN'T A 5EMT-W KiliKJjY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, (jA., TULSUAY, JANUARY 21, 1913. 11 (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Cotton opened easy at a decline of 13 to 17 points and sold 21 to -3 points not lower right after the rail, with all positions making new low records for the movement, under renewed lupwTasion and boar pressure. Weak Liverpool cables, reports that the south was offering spots more freely in tile English market, and southern selling here supposed to be against snplles in the interior, seemed to account for the confined aggressive ness bf bearish sentiment. Leading trade in terests were buyers on the decline with the result that covering became more notlv after the break blow 11% cents for May and prices rallied 10 or 12 points from the lowest before the end of the first hour. Heavy southern selling was encountered on the first hour rally and the market soon de veloped renewed weakness with prices selling off to a net loss of 23*$28 points on the old crop “posltons. with May touching 11.69, or Sfl.r*?; per bale under the high records of last month. Short profit taking and trade support cheeked the decline at tills level and the market was less active at noon, with prices .3 or 4 points up from the lowest. The market was quirt during the early after noon and prices reuled 6 or 7 points up from the lowest on covering.

Much was made of the falling off in the spot demand and atten- tum was f enlied to the lack of bull support. While the market appeared to be well liquidated uf the long interest it recently held, offerings were plentiful, which made it appear that e'en ontside interests were selling short. Weather conditions over the belt were called , 'ery favorable. Soon after the call prices were 12 to 14 points down. Shorts took profits and caused a reaction, the market standing at a net lofs of 4 to 6 points at the end of the first half hour of business. The recovery was short lived. Th? hard spot was what many traders with bearish tenden cies were waiting for and they swamped the market with offerings, with the result that prices wore sent lower than ever.

HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 20.—London took a pessimistic view of the political situation, expecting Jhat war will be resumed this week. Optimism in respect to a speedy settlement of the Balkan affair has been disappointed so often that the last turn of affairs Is likely to have a more damaging effect on trade con ditions. Labor unrest and apprehension over politics is having an unfavorable effect in this country. Liverpool experienced heavy liquidation and hedge selling, causing a break of nearly 14 points. Spots were 14 lower. Our market opened about 10 points lower, to meet Liver pool, but soon recovered to 12 cents for May and assumed a waiting attitude. The buying was principally from satisfied shorts. ‘The most disappointing feature is that spot demand has not increased in proportion to the de cline. This must either be because mills are supplied or because apprehension as to t he future is restricting their desire to buy. After the dose of Liverpool our markets ban to take all the selling and under the weight of Offerings broke to 11.87 for May. There was also considerable hedge selling ‘from the In ferior. Exporters say that some onvws are coming 110m Europe, but at a price considerably un der the market. It is reported that factors sold about 2,000 bales at a quarter of a cent below Saturday’s quotations, making 12K for middling. DRY GOODS REVIEW (By Asiooiatcu Pretr > NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Hesitation has been noticed in the buying of cotton goods for some little time and weakness in prices finally is developing a pronounced way in goods that go to inanufnctupring trades. Goods for the job bers are being bought at tho prices quoted. Need for goods for retailing is pronounced and well defined in staple lines. The advance in cotton and labor costs over a j’ear ago is said to have made it Imperative for selling agents to ask higher prices, so that the large jobbers who have been here during the past week have been content to accept the situation and place their business for fall without much comment. Strikes in the cutting-up trades in New York are disorganizing deliveries of goods made for manufacturers and it is difficult to «ay what the outcome will be. It is the delays in de liveries due to requests for withholding ship ments that account in large part for the weak ness in many prices. Reports from China give promise of a bet ter export trade. Fall River sold 110.000 pieces of print cloths last week of which 50,000 were lor spot shipment. Wide sheetings were ad vanced during the week to a basis of .30c for 10-4 Uticns. Prices on cotton goods are as follows: Print cloths, 28-inch, G4x64s, 4c; 64x60s. 3%; 38-inch 64x64s, 5V4; standard sheetings, southern, 8c@8%c; standard staple prints, 5^c; dress ginghams, 014c. the secret to yourself? I think one should Eanrfly Hatched Chickens amid the Coevemleoce of the Parcel Post T HE splendid open weather that has prevailed during , January has made most of the 1 fowls in this section feel good and produce a large number of eggs. These eggs should he much more fertile and far superior in quality to the eggs that were given us last year during the same time and there Is no reason why good hatches should not be obtained from these, and a splendid start had with poultry this year. Every In dication points to a favorable year and a great demand for eggs has already begun. Thousands of set tings of eggs are now being shipped all over the country and it is well that .lie breeders have learned to appreciate the fact that January and February hatched chicks are the ones that lay early in the fail and are the easiest of all to raise. You should, by all means, get every egg you possibly can set, either under hens or in incubators now, as chickens hatched during next month will he nicely feathered and ready to take a free range when warm weather 1 opens up in March and April. Chickens hatched either with hens or in incubators, and reared in brooders thrive and do so much better during the cool spring months than they do at any other time. You also avoid being bothered with insects and, to a certain ex tent, the dreaded sorehead, by getting your chickens off and out of dan ger before you have these troubles to contend with. Most breeders have their pens mated and 'doing well now, and it is a good idea for every breeder to set their early eggs at home, which will enable them to tell how the eggs are hatching in the first place, and then on the other hand, it will enable him to get out a good quantity of chick ens for his own use and he in a position to 'take care of his egg orders which usually come during March, April and May. It looks like now the biggest demand for setting eggs that has ever existed will come to the breeders this season. •The parcel post has paved a new way for shipping eggs for hatching as they can be had quickly, and it will do something even far greater than this. It will have a tendency to reduce the sale of many cheap eggs, such as are often sold at $1.50 to $2.00 per setting. The shipper can not pay the postage and furnish the shipping case' and sell eggs at this price and Xiave any profit left, and on the other hand eggs that are not worth more than $1.50 or $2.00 per setting in single setting lots are hardly worth the time 6f a firstclass breeder bothering with them. Tne day and time has come when the breeders of the country want the best and much pre fer paying $5.00, $10.00 and $20.00 per setting for eggs from the very best rather than to set the cheap eggs that cannot produce birds that will chow any profit to the mdn who raises them. I think in this one respect the parcel post will play an important factor in raising the quality of the breeding stock all over the country and to do away «?ith the sale of cheap eggs. One of the big things connected with the parcel post system is quick delivery, especially in the rural districts A person who Las a hen ready to set can wire a breeder for a setting of eggs (which only cost 25c), and if the breeder has sufficient stock to supply his orders promptly usually the buyer can have them the next day, and with a rest of twelve hours they will he ready to place under the hen. The telegarph message will amount to less than the express on the eggs would be, to say nothing of getting them under the hen quickly. On the other hand the breeder will have to pay the postage and save the buyer probably 15 cents or 25 cents difference in the message and what the express would be, and get the eggs delivered at his door within twelve-to twenty-four hours from the time the wire is sent. 1 Many a man will order a setting of eggs immediately after his hen takes her nest in this way that would not write for them, and wait several days to receive them by express. In the rural districts this will be a great advantage because during busy times on the farm often a person will have to stop and go to the express office two or three times before re ceiving their eggs, when by parcel post they will be delivered at his door by a mail carrier and save him this time, which means; money and lots of Cy? 1 r , it, during a busy: season - ^ ‘ * Very truly /ours, QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED quesJt HON. Atlanta, Ga. I write to ask, a little advice re garding poultry. I have some fine S. C. Buff Leghorns and a couple of the pullets have developed scaly legs. Will you kindly suggest treat ment? These are handsome birds and splendid layers. Would it be safe to use their eggs for hatching, and would the troubl e likely be trans mitted? Thanking you in advance for your early reply, I am H. V. C. ANSWER. Scaly legs are not hereditary and will not breed in the offspring of your birds. It is caused from a germ that gets on the leg, and this caji be removed by using a mixture of one pint of linseed oil and two ounces of carbolic acid, and a small amount of sulphur should be put in the bottle. If their legs are thor oughly saturated with ythis two or three times the scales can usually be removed aftef that by the use of warm water and a brush. It is i.ll right to use their eggs for hatch ing. male bird is used in one than when several are used. ‘ WANTED Sufferers to know that the celebrated Prof. Fowler is still located at New Lon don.

WANTED HELP—Male and Female Atlanta, Ga. I want to ask you to kindly give me some chicken information. I “read you” in The Journal and know you have the “dope.” I raise Black Minorcas, or am trying to. I have two fine cockerels about seven months old, large for their age. Are they old enough to mate with two or three-year-old hens and get good eggs for setting If so, how many hens could each be mated to and be reasonably sure of fertile eggs and strong chickens? Thanking you foV information asked. I am, - E./ D. K. ANSWER. If the Black Minorca cockerels referred to are well developed and vigorous they could be mated, one cockerel to ten to tv/elve hens, and it is the proper way to mate them, the young cockerels to two or three-year-old hens. You will get muqh stronger and better chicks by doing this than to mate cockerels to pullets. Usually Leghorns and Minorcas are matured and ready for mating at five to seven months old. It would be better to divide your hens into flocks of ten to fourteen hens and mate one male bird with them rather than to keep a large number of hens and several male birds together, that is unless they have a large unlimited range. If they are confined in yards it is not a good idea to put more than one male bird with a bunch of hens. The eggs will be more fertile and the offspring stronger when one a ready to give you a position riyhi write about: the position^joit^offrjr' Personal for E. M. DAVIS CO. M.
