NEW ORLEANS, June 16.—Cotton futures opened steady at n rise of four to nine points. August showing the widest advance.

The map, how ever, failed to bring out any selling orders and at the end of the first half hour of busi ness prices were six to twelve points over Sat urday’s close.

HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, La., June 16.—Weather con ditions and changes over Sunday were distinct ly favorable. Dry weather prevailed over most of tbe belt. The only precipitation of conse quence occurred in south Texas where it was needed. Minimum temperatures are 10 to 20 degrees higher than on Friday and are now en tirely normal. Indications are for continuation of generally fair and warm weather, except in the coast district? of Louisiana and Texas, where it will be ‘cloudy and possibly showery. Washington promises a week of generally fair and warmer weather. The Memphis Commer cial-Appeal summary for the week Is very favorable. Other crop reports are mostly favor able. ‘The Liverpool market was about as due on the opening, spot sales continue large, 10,000 today at 2 points higher. Our market showed strength this morning and advanced to 12.06 for Au gust and 11.58 for October, principally owing to the renewed strength and activity of July in New York. The weekly report tomorrow is expected to be bullish, as it covers the spell of last week. New York says that the strained conditions in July dominate tbe market and a decline In new crops dfoes not seem probable until the summer positions are liquidated. New fork continued strong on bullish on both crops. Our market likewise held the ad vance wel Ion small buying, as selling is intimi dated. • NAVAL STORES. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

PIG IRON ACTIVE The disposition of bankers, who are not taking on new business at this time? is still causing a ifcarcity of Important sales of iron and steel in the west, nad railroads have practically ceased to cover for their require ments. Financial conditions, however, are slow ly improving and the peak of tho load should be passed before long. Specifications In this territory are liberal from all sources, indicat ing a disposition to take out all contracted tonnage. Mills are still operating at a high rate and shipments during May were in some ceses much in execs of productive capacity. For this reason, tbe total of specifications is less than of material going forward. Prices ou finished material are holding up well and in spite of the efforts of agricultural interests to break the price of steel bars, quotations re main firm on the basis of 1.40c Pittsburg. The sheet market shows IJttle improvement, and business in wire products is notably light. Bolts, nuts and rivets, however, show* sigas of betterment, especially rivets, the continuation of which should have a strengthening effect on prices. PIG IRON.—A few comparatively small sales reported during the last few days have caused somewhat of an appearance of activity in con trast to the general dullness heretofore. These sales Include 1,200 tons on southern Iron taken by the* Chicago Hardware Foundry Co., a part on a i»asls of $11.25, Birmingham. Other sales of southern iron include several small lots for prompt shipment. Foundrymen are greatly Interested In the mar ket, and while no buying movement has de veloped, its advent seems more probable than for some time past. Northern Iron, both foun dry and malleable, appears fairly firm at cur rent quotations, the strength of the latter grade being due to the absence of outside competition. There is some reason to believe that the bottom of the southern market has been reached, ns the larger Birmingham producers are holding to $11.50 for shipment In this territory and maintain that In relation to furnace costs, the $11 basis obtainable on some iron is equivalent to $10 a year or more ago. It Is said that a market below $11 will cause the blowing out of many stacks in addition to the curtailments In production made recently.—Chicago Correspond ent The Iron Trade Review. PIGEON! T HIS season lias brought out many new fanciers and breed ers who are trying out the pigeon industry, especially squab breeding, and it is surprising how many different ones are making rapid progress in this direction. The ones who seem to he the most successful and getting the most out of their venture are those who are living in the city and have a mar ket every day for their products. They being close to the consumers it is no trouble for them to con vert their squabs into cash the minute they are ready to sell and this is where they can unload their products immediately when they are ready. This does not seem to be much advantage to a person that does not know, hut the minute a pair of squabs are sold and re moved from the nest tne old birds immediately get busy and go to work again, to say nothing of the extra feed that a pair of squabs would consume if kept a few days longer. In raising hundreds of squabs, say if a pair are gotten out of the way three or four days ahead of some that would be kept longer and re peat this twelve times during the year you will not only have the old birds go to work and raise an extra pair or two pair of young ones but you have saved the feed and you can readily see that you are getting one hundred pair of birds with an extra 50c or $1 on each pair per year and you can readily see how much it amounts to, and it is these little things that count In not only the keeping of pigeons but poultry and cattle. The main thing that a person has to look out for in raising squabs or pigeons is to have the house well ventilated, dry and plenty sunlight furnished the birds where they can get it at some time during the day and sun themselves. A bathing pool or tub where they can wash them selves Is another essential thing, and this should be a separate vessel from where they get their drinking water. Their feed should be of a variety, and fed to them on a clean shelf, just what they will eat up clean twice a day. Plenty salt should be kept before them at all times and no birds allowed in the pens except mated pairs. It is surprising how many squabs a person can raise in a room 10 feet by 10 feet and a fly loft by 20 feet on a small place In the city or up on top of a house, and just so long as there is a vast number of people who are obliged to be fed there will never be any trouble in disposing of good, fat squaDs at profitable prices. Hundreds of boys and girls can easily make more money taking care of fifty pairs of pigeons and selling the squabs than many people are willing to pay them a salary to work from soon in the morning until late at night. Squab raising, and even fancy pigeon breeding in a small way is something that the parents should encourage their children In as much as possible. It would keep many a child at home, and If they watch and study their birds and the ways of their pigeons it will enlighten them and almost be an education to them that will often lead to greater things. Around the large cities are certainly ideal places to breed squabs for market, and one thing about the squab business is that tne more people in it naturally the better the market will t and better prices will be ob tained because people will become used to using squabs more freely and the demand will be greater. The duck trade on Long Island and In New York had to he built up from a small beginning, hut the more it was indulged in and the more people encouraged In the habit or eating ducks naturally the more they wanted them and the better the prices were, and today the market is absolutely unlimited for Long Island ducks. The same thing is being done with squabs in many sections. Atlanta part of the year is buying squabs from Baltimore and Philadelphia. Also ducks are being shipped to Atlanta from New York and Boston. It does look like a pity for such things to exist but such is the case. We are neglecting many little items like this in our section that could be convert.es into thou- jT, - . _ sands of dollars that we now never A. think of. QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. Adairsville, Ga. I am interested in your article published in Atlanta Journal last week on “Inoculation.” I calculate to sow about twenty-five acres in peas for the purpose of making* hay. Will thank you for information on inoculating the seed. This is alto gether new to me. I wrote you sometime ago regarding the planting of Noosier potatoes. You sent me formula for fertilizing. Will thank you now to tell me the best time to plant them, also how many bushels it will require to plant an acre. Will thank you in advance for this information. G. M. B. ANSWER. It will pay you to inoculate the pears with nitro-culture. In fact, this is the cheapest form of fertiliz er that anyone can use. When this bacteria is equally distributed on all seed of the legume crop it helps them to store a wonderful amount of nitrogen in the soil and prepare it for a heavy yield following. You can get the bacteria, enough for five acres for $9.00 of Southern In- oculine Labatories, Box No. 541, At lanta, Ga. They manufacture this bacteria for both peas and alfalfa and have it made up fresh. oHwever, it keeps # perfectly for six months, prepared as they do it. I am glad to know someone in Atlanta is man ufacturing this product and it makes it convenient for the people of the South to get It. It is a wonderful discovery and means thousands of dollars to the farming public who will use it. Immediately after this .is placed on the peas, or seed of any kind, as soon as they are placed in the ground they will begin to draw freely the nitrogen from the air, and instead of the plants be ing weak and unthrifty every one will grow and make a heavy yield and store in the soil an abundance of the most valuable fertilizer, which is nitrogen. They can furnish this preparation promptly for either peas or alfalfa. Any time after the 15th of July will be the proper time to plant the potatoes. You should plant eight bushels per acre. QUESTION. I am very much interested in your articles in The Journal, on poultry. One information a few days ago on Runner Ducks to an answer to a gentleman in Selma, Ala., and you sent him a book on Indian Runner Ducks. Will you kindly tell me through your paper where I can or how I can get one' of these books? W. L. B. Atlanta, Ga. ANSWER. ^ Your letter received and a duck book would have been mailed you immediately if you had given your name and address. Many people write me but leave off their name and address and often many letters are never answered on this account. Send me your name and I will mail you a duck book Immediately. TIMES-DEMOCRAT REPORTS ACREAGE INCREASE SMALL Taking the Belt as.a Whole, the Cotton Crop Is an Ex ceedingly Spotted One NEW ORLEANS, June 10.—The Times-Demo- crat herewith presents its correspondent’s first report on tbe cotton crop of 1913. The con census of opinion points to the following re sults: 1. The Increase of acreage Is slight—possi bly about 8 per cent; at the most. 2. The general condition is fairly favorable, but many sections complain of poor stands caused by unreasonably low temperatures. 3. Labor is said to be scarce in some dis tricts, in consequence of immigration to towns and public works. 4. Taking the belt as a whole, the ctop is an exceedingly spotted one, and the weather of the next month will be extremely important. 5. There is a good deal of talk of boll weevil, but it is too soon to form an idea of the probable damage. COMMERCIAL APPEAL’S REPORT MEMPHIS, June 1C.—Commercial Appeal says: Good progress wase made by the cotton crop west of the river and in Tennessee and Mississippi during tbe past week. Rains that visited practically all of this area proved of much benefit, coming when moisture was needed and when fields were clean. Cool weather retarded the best growth in the ceutrul valley, but no actual damage was done, even some progress was made—while In the west the plant made wonderful progress. Fields are In fine shape, both ns to cleanliness and state of c. tivation of soil. The week was about a stand off in Alabama, while tn Georgia and the Carollnas low temperatures and too much rain retarded growth and cultivation. However, i actual damage was small, and as fields were clean to begin with, grass has gained no great headway. The evil is rather threatened tn actual, and whether the crop is permanent damaged, depends largely on this week’s weath er. if favorable, fields will soon be c and the check to growth will be overcome, if unfavorable much permanent damage will be done the crop. As a whole, the benefit from general rains over the belt will far outweigh the check put upon tbe plant by the cool weather, while the excessive moisture has done little damage. The developments of the week have done much to place the plant where It will be in position to take advantage of good weath er. Weather at the close of the week was much improved. There Is little complaint of insect damage, Mississippi noting large quan tity of weevil and a few scattered grasshop pers reported from Texas and Oklahoma, hut no damage of consequence has been done by either. Demonstration agents are organising farmers for the extinction of boll-weevil and grass hoppers were said to have been leaving the fields. BANK CLEARINGS. (Bradstreet’s Review.)
