THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1913. V MARKET REPORTS Atlanta Markets Marketing; Products Atlanta Live Stock (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. June 23.—Cotton opened steady at a decline of four to six points in response to lower Liverpool cables, a favorilble view of weather conditions 9ver Sunday and renewed realizing by old longs. The opening prices re- •flected a reaction of some thirty .to thirty-five points from the high levels of last week, how ever, and the market met a good deal of buy ing by recen^ sellers for a turn, or by people who had been waiting for a setback oil which ,to secure a position on the bull side. Trices steadied consequently and the market rallied three or four points from the lowest during the early trading. After selling off to a net loss of 7 to 10 joints under continued realizing and easy Liv erpool cables the market st-*sd*ed again on .covering with prices showing rallies of 5 or 0 * w dnts at midday. Estimated receipts today 4,000 bales. • During the afternoon demand seemed to isxwiden and fluctuations were rather yrcgtilar with the active months ruling about 4 to 7 points net down.

M%V ORLEANS, June 23.—Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of 5 to S points on poor cables and a favorable weather map. The official reports noted rain in Arkansas, where it was needed, and at scattered points in the eastern belt. Following the initial decline there was a recovery on fresh buying for long account and July went 5 points over Saturday’s close,-while the new crops went within 2 points of that level. The upward movement was not well maintained. The forecast of fair weather, except for showers in Virginia and the Caro- linas, was called bearish and the selling that followed it put prices of the new crops 8 to 9 points under Saturday’s final figures. . Toward the middle of the morning offerings of the new crop months increased as the result of the rumor that a private crop reporting bureau was out with condition figures of 83.2 per cent against its own last figures of 80.7. The new crops went 32 points under Saturday’s close. July was inactive aud did ndt follow the decline. Shorts were quick to take profits and their purchases, combined with moderate fresh long buying, checked the downward move ment and brought about a recovery. At noon July stood 1 point under Saturday’s close while the most active new crop months were ■ 7 under. cioo QUOTATIONS September 11.69 October . . 11.57 11.55 11.45 11.49 11.48 11.57 November 11.48 11.56 December . 11.51 11.55 11.45 11.49 11.48 11.57 SPOT COTTON MARKET Atlanta, nominal, 12%c.

NEW ORLEANS, June 23.—Weather condi tions continued favorable over Sunday with a nice rainfall in the Atlantics. Some good scat tered showers in the central states and west Texas; temperatures normal; mo excesses, warm night, indications art for partly cloudy to fair and warm weather; some scattered showers. Washington predicts a week of fair, warm weather—just as needed. Liverpool is poor in all departments, futures about two lower than due—spots five down; sales only 6,000 bales. Po litical news continues unfavorable and the re peated disappointments at the failure to arrive at peace is bound to show itself in a further de- dression. The Press reports a congestion of old crop, Egyptian cotton in the warehouses in Alexandria with an apparent falling off in the demand. A feature of the spinning situation, especially in America, is the dullness in fine yarns. Consols unchanged; silver % down; rentes ten down. The following report from Canton, Miss., shows the active fight made against the boll weevil. The report says that $250 were dis tributed in prizes; 450,000 weevils were brought In, representing almost one-tentb of tbe weevils caught in the county. The market opened about seven lower and weakened steadily. De cember selling to 11.45 in the second hour. New York reported some influential selling. Con sumption prospects affected by the unfavorable political and financial situation is the principal bearish argument. NEW YORK COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, June 23.—The volume of trade today was only moderate, the buying and sell ing was pretty evenly divided. There was sell ing by the Wall street interests who were prominent on that sidp on Saturday, but a good scattered demand for contracts was found on the slight decline. Liverpool war a buyer and some of tbe Saturday seilers covered. IVeather continues very favorable and local sen timent favors a further decline.—Anderson. COTTON OIL MARKET WHEAT— Open. High. Low.

COMMERCIAL-APPEAL'S CROP REPORT MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 23.—Commercial-Ap peal’s crop summary: » The weather of the past week was very favorable for the growth of cotton over en tire belt. Temperatures were high, with good showers in west and clear skies in the remain der of the belt—just the kind of weather needed. The plant made good progress, al Ithe most its energies were occupied in overcoming the check placed upon it by the cool weather of the previous week and for this reason its actual advancement was more real than appar ent. As a result of the cool weather the plant over the entire belt Is a bit small, al though probably slightly larger than last year, but it is making a bushy growth and shows the health that accompanies a good taproot and favorable soil conditions. Good rain in Texas and portions of Oklahoma supplied the one thing needed in these states for the best growth cf the plant. The excellent cultivation that has been a pronounced characteristic of the crop all season waa maintained throughout the week and soil Is perhaps better worked than ever before at this season. The rains and the fact that farmers were in the wheat harvest allowed some grass to gain, headway in por tions of Texas, but tbe situation is one that a few days* work will soon cure. The other western states, the central valley, Alabama aud nearly all of Georgia, are nearly 100 per cent clean, with soil in excellent condition. In the Carolinas and a small portion of Georgia a few days more of warm, open weather are needed to further cultivation and the growth of the plant. Arkansas and the central val ley are beginning to need rain, but no material damage will result should dry weather contin ue for another week. The one complaint re ported was of boll weevil in Mississippi and Louisiana and isolated sections of Texas and Arkansas. There is a big crop of the pest in Mississippi and Louisiana, but farmers are fight ing them under the direction of government experts and are confident that in most locali ties they have them whipped.

The entire crop is bought on the ground for cash. Tills system is largely applied now/ to fruits and vegetables all over the country, but enough people have to make it a business'to warrant buyers coming to these sections and buying the products rather than having them consig- ed or shipped to market and take the chance on getting what they w’ll bring In the first place when a man buys straightout products and- is offering them for sale in the city through his store he will natural ly hold up his price and not allow the market to break if he can possibly help it as he knows what his goods cost and must make a profit on them. On the other hand if the market is glutted with consigned goods the commission mer chants who have these goods consigned to them have practically nothing at stake except their commission and they often break the market and do not get out of the products their actual worth. When this is once done the market is broken and the man who has bought his goods has to meet the price or have a still bigger loss. This is where one big leak comes in handling products and has only been overcome by people who go into any thing extensively enough to bring the buyers direct to the growers and get for their products what they are actually worth. With the poultry business it is quitje different and up to the present time no one has ever produced in any one community in Georgia enough of these products to have any one fixed or staple market, or warrant any one coming into certain communities to buy as they are so scarce it is impos sible to collect enough in any one community in Georgia to warrant a buyer being on hand, and I don’t believe therrfi ever will a time come when the poultry industry in Georgia at any ono.ifnace will ever be so largely looked after or entered into by many people to' much more than supply their home demand, let alone have any great quantity to sell, but it would be a great thing if the people in Georgia could produce even enough products for home consumption. The same thing applies to live stock as does to poultry and all other food products, in reference to Georgia conditions. We still con tinue to buy our butter, eggs, poultry and meats of all kinds, and a large per cent of our feed from the west, and I guess will continue to do so as long as cotton will grow in this state. , As I have said, it is discouraging to many people who attempt to mar ket in their home market poultry, eggs, or most any other farm product. The average farmer can take a load of corn, a load of hay, poultry or eggs to his home market and he will usually b e compelled to take anything he is offered for It. It is not a question of his naming the price at all, but a question of whether he can find a buyer for his products who will pay him the cash. The truth of the matter is while every one in this community use thqse products he is offering and buy them they usually do so from their merchants on a credit, and but few of them have the money to pay cash for these products, and they prefer to buy from their merchant at a much larger price on a credit than they could buy direct from the farmer for cash. The merchants are just as had, and they themselves, as a rule, do not encourage or patronize the man who offers these products for sale. They seem to prefer buying thm from the west and pay a better price than they will for their home grown products. The merchants and the consumers are largel- responsible for the average farmer not producing more of such things and offering them for sale, as they find that cotton alone is about the only thing they can haul in any large quantity and convert into cash the day they get It to market, ft always has a market price and even then the buyer names the price and the producer has to take whatever the buyer says, whether it is a profitable price or one any where near within th e limit of the market. The producer, as a rule, does not keep posted on the market, and just so he gets somewhere near what he supposes is right or near the market he is usually satisfied. I saw just a few days ago a farmer drive into town with a wagonload of products. He did not visit the city often, therefore was not well posted as to the market conditions. He sold hie entire load of products for at least one-fourth less than the average market price. He was late getting to town, had a long ways to get back home and was anxious to get rid of his load. The result was his loss on this one load of products was between $15 and $25 less than the market was actually paying. A merchant who saw the situation made the farmer an offer, the first one he had received which was at least one-fourth below the daily market. The farmer accepted it and before he was out of sight the merchant who was posted on the market had the products on his dray being delivered to a party who could use them, and at a profit of about $20, which ne cleaned up In a few hours, just by being familiar with city conditions ^ and the farmer was not. , (Ly Yours very truly, , > (By W.

I QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. Atlanta, Ga. I would like a little information about my White Leghorn chicks. They seem all right until they get about four weeks old. Then their wings droop and they die in a few days. I feed them baby chick feed, Aunt Patsy, white shorts and bran, also beef scraps and plenty of fresh water. They have dry and comfortable quarters and have ‘the best of care. Any information, will be very thankful for. MRS. H. F. W. ANSWER. In this same issue read reply to Mrs. B. H. R. which practically covers your case. You should omit the shorts and bran. Two parts bran to one part beef scraps with some charcoal will be all right and can be substituted in place of Aunt Patsy or fed along with it after the chickens are ten days old. It should not be fed before. The wings should be clipped. I am con fident in both cases the chickens have been overfed at some time and have indigestion.' More chickens are killed from overkindness and overfeeding Qian from any other one thing. I do not think there is any doubt but this is the trouble in both cases. Exercise and a va riety of food will get their diges tive organs in good shape and they will eventually outgrow this trou ble if you use judgment in feed ing. QUESTION. Atlanta, Ga. I would like very much for you to give me some information in re gard to my feeding my little chicks. I have the White Leghorns. They are healthy and growing fine, except their combs. I feed them on the red comb soratch and meat mash. I give tkem a little fresU beef scraps about once a tveek. Will the fresh beef scraps hurt them? Please advise me if I am not feeding them ‘right, and advise me how to feed them to make their comb grow. I will appreciate any information ybu can give me in regard, to them. Hoping to hear from you in the columns of The Atlanta Journal, I beg to remain as a chicken crank, J. N. P. ANSWER. Usually with age Leghorn chick ens’ combs will grow. It is not nec essary to have them show much growth while they are young, as this will usually come right later on with age. The feed that you are giving, espe cially the meat, has a tendency to encourage the growth of comb and as they get older you will find their combs will begin to get larger. Lots cf meat will always have a tendency to grow an extra heavy comb. You can add. from 10 to 15 per cent meat scraps to the Red Comb meat mash for your chick ens. There is enough already in it for old chickens, and like it is at present is splendid for young chick ens.
