THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1913. T-V T’ 7 (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July 14.—Cotton was very quiet again this morning and after opening steady at unchanged prices fluctuated within a range of 2 or 3 points. Liverpool was a shade bette- than expected and reported tnat trade buying to fix prces had absorbed continental liquida tion but private cvrop reports were generally favorable and the census report on supply and distribution was considered about a staud- off. Prospects for continued hot weather in the southwest and further boll weevil com plaints seemed to check selling on the re ported favorable average progress of the crop. The market remained very quiet later in the morning, but ruled generally steady on cover ing by near month shorts with prices about four to seven points net higher at midday. Estimated receipts of cotton at all the ports today 3,000 bales, against last 3,291 Inst week and 1,726 last year. The market was very quiet, • but ruled gen erally steady on covernlng of near moutha short with prices about 4 to 7 points net higher at noon.

Crop and weather news was called favorable and iiress reports on the crop noted good progress but offerings were limited and the initial decline was the lowest In the early trading. Bulls were not aggressive, although comparatively little buying held the market steady. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 3 points noder Saturday’s close. The census bureau report of American consumption of cotton of 466.914 bales for June was called bullish. Considerable bnying developed around the mid dle of the morning which thp gossip of the floor traced to the consumption figures. Bulls claimed that they pointed to a larger total consumption for the season than the trade as a whole has been willing to grant. At the highest the active months were three to seven points over Saturday’s final figures. No large business was done In the old crops but they showed the widest rise. At noon the market was dull and prices were sagging with the trading months only one point over Saturday’s closing level.

Chisholm aud Cbt^pman: We prefer the long side of the market. Logan aud Bryan: We thin*, the long side attractive during periods of depression as any unfavorable developments in the belt would likely result in a sharp upturn. Orvis Bros. & Co.: The market displays re markable stcadiuess in the face of the flatter ing promise and the small supply of floating contracts renders it acutely reponsive to the least buying power. Miller Ac' Co.: The far months invite in telligent action on the bear side of the market. NEW YORK COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, July 14.—The market bag ruled quiet but steady. There has been fair demand for summer options, also October, but there was little for sale. The stock here has decreased 6,0000 balet in the past seven days and it now looks as if they will have only a stock of about 15,000 bales by August 1. This is causiug the bearish element to go slow. Some of the larger spot interests have been nticeable buyers of new crop as well sa old. There is continued talk of boll weevil in Alabama and Texas, all of which is having a stimulating effect. —Anderson. TIMES-DEMOCRAT REPORT. NEW ORLEANS, July 14.—The Tlmes- Democrat herewith presents its second report on the cotton crop. The consensus of opinion is to the following effect: 1. Improvement has been the rule, weather having been almost ideal for cultivation. 2. There ah« been no lack of labor and the fields have consequently been worked to the maximum. 3. Complaints of boll weevil come from sev eral states aud the reports from certan dis- traicts of Mississippi show that grave damage has already occurred. 4. Despite the forcing weather of the last month, the crop is «till, on the average, some what late. 5. Taking the belt as a whole, the possibili ties are great in either direction. With a per fect season from this time forward, a bumper yield may be expected. With a seriously un favorable change in this regard the out-turn might be sensationally small.

NEW ORLEANS, July 14.—While there was not much rain in the western states over Sun day, temperatures were lower aud are now en tirely normal. This result, without much rain, is perhaps more favorabe to crop prospects as rank growth will be prevented and maturity furthered in the southern portion where much of the cflop is about to be cut beyond damage by weevil. Partly cloudy weather prevailed in the cen tral and eastern belt with some scattered show ers, best in Tennessee, north Alabama, Missis sippi and Florida. Stationary conditions are in dicated for the next two days except that Okla homa and northwest Texas and western Arkansas will have increasing cloudiness anil prospects for gome rain. The bureau report and supply and distribu tion for the month of June shows eonsumtion by our mills in June 467,000 against 511,000 in May. Liverpool came in as due and quotes spots 5 lower. Sales 10,000. Very pesimlstic views from Paris on the financial situation are the only striking feature 1 atbe foreign news. Our market opened easier with feeling rather bearish but strong bidding in July by certain leaders at once checked selling and prices held well around 11.48 for October.

COTTON TAX ON FUTURES WILL ADD TO THE COST Drive the Exchanges Out of Business and Greatly In crease Middleman’s Expense C. T. REVERE. “The power to tax is the power to destroy.’* Thus spoke Chief Justice Marshall in setting forth* the limitless scope of tnxution. Kever has the force of tills dictum been j more clearly illustrated than in the adoption j by the Democratic senate caucus last Tuesday j of the Clark amendment to the tariff proposing a stamp tax of one-tenth of one cent per pound on cotton future^. The purpose of the clause evidently is .not revenue, but the destruction of organized spec- plation in coton. After trying for years to force through congress a bill directly prohibit ing or restricting trading in cotton futures the southern members of congress have adopted the subterfuge of a tax so onerous as to make such dealings prohibitive. The most important clause of the Clara amendment is as follows: “That upon each sale, agreement, of sale, or agreement to sell, or upon each purchase, agree ment of purchase, or agreement to purchase, of any cotton for future delivery at or on any cotton exchange or board of‘trade, or other similar place, or by any person acting in con formity to the rules and regulations of any such cotton exchanges, board of trade, or simi lar place, there is hereby le-vied a tax equal to one-tenth of 1 per cent per pound on the quan tity of cotton mentioned and described in anv such contract; provided, that in all cases where toe quahtity and kind of cotton mentioned a mil described in such contract is actually delivered, in compliance in good faith therewith, by the uiyer to the seller therein respectively named, the tax levied by this section shall he refunded to the party paying the same m such manner and under such regulations as the secretarv or thp treasmr shall prescribe. Any sale, agree ment of sale, or agreement to sell, or anv pur- cnase, agreement of purchase, or agreement to purchase of any cotton for future delivery, at any- cotton exchange, board of trade, or other similar place, or by any person acting form 1 ty to the rules and regulations of S’ s ": h „ coto ”, exchange, board of trade, or where p * ace I" any foreign country, , r 7L t 0 , rdar 5 :>r S,,C J? 831,1 or purchase has been firelen tted / r ° m the lInlted StateS to s "Cn srife? and elther the buyer of the ! “ snch contract of sale or pnr- n resident 3 ’.’.:! of 1,le execution thereof Snd eone.d "’d”!® States shall be deemed of d sn?r d 3,1 n al res I»ots a sale, agreement t0 «'"• or a purchase, for fn., 1 ,’ p ’r hase - or a Kteement to purchase therein w.* hl del ir ry of the described ’other Til?. ”, the meaning of this section, the r, „ mo'islons of the amendment prescribe and remo.’ ' v , hich th ® ta * may be collected tlon nt ri’ Pd and 0) 80 ntovide for the imposi- r vieln.i"® 3 ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 for viointions of the proposed statute. rent per 0, Z^d R * amp ’, ax of on e-tenth of one where P . rt , on " a, e» of cotton futures, rtat^ ao ac’uat delivery Is either eontem Placed or made, means chat for Turkey Raising T or New nr. ”™r; ® lther on the New York at , " t °, r m * ^’l 0 ; Change, a tax of that on’ vt 50 18 ,evled - When one realises Stan Vl- acth 'f ''a* 8 »n the New York reaVh i ?2?i aB f e -nA t j£ transaecions sometimes SoVy!

The seductive feature about the Clark amend ment is contained in the provision implying the Intent to deliver cotton. In cases where actual delivery is made on the cotton exchange, the proposed tax of $50 per lOo bales will be re mitted. As a matter of fact, the transactions in cotton which imply an intent to deliver rep resent a very small proportion of the legiti mate business of exchanges or boards of trade. The average shipper handling, let us say, 50 o 000 bales of cotton for a year, may not sendV over 500 bales of cotton through to New York or New Orleans for delivery on contract during the year. At the same time nearly every bale of his total season’s business bas to hedge either in New York, New Orleans or Liverpool. Consequently, on the 500 bales which the shipper might send to New York to deliver on contract, he would be forced to hedge to pro vide against loss, he would be forced to pay a tax amounting to $25,000. Rather than give up such a large sura, which would represent his legitimate prolits for a season, he would refrain from hedging and simply charge a larger com* mission for his services and let the loss fall upon the man from whom he buys the cotton, and the man to whom he sells it. Other legitimate transactions representing sales of one month against purchases of another, or buying in one market against sales in an other—arbitrage operations when markets are out of line—would be subject to this tax of $50 for each hundred bales simply because there Is no intention to deliver cotton. As a matter of fact, the intent to deliver cotton as the result of a sale or to accept de livery as the result of a purchase is not es sential to the legitimacy or non-speculaiJ^e thfcv- acter of the cotton transaction. Whether the intent exists or not the obligation s always pres ent. The operations on which cotton is de livered probably do not represent 5 per cent or the total business of any exchange, either In America or Europe. Behind every such trans action, however, there stands the obligation to make or accept delivery, and it is this binding obligation—more stringent than any state or federal statute—which sets limits to trading and keeps such operations within legitimate bounds. If it were not for the obligation to make or accept delivery—the failure to comply with which would mean the suspension or bank ruptcy of the defaulting party—any plunging speculator f ample capital could buy or sell 1,000,000 bales of cotton for future delivery whether or not he intended to make or accept delivery. When future dealings were first established in the grain trade in the 50’s out in Chicago, short sales were based on borrowed elevator rec*<lpts. It was found, however, that the ele vator stock was not sufficiently large to permit transactions on a scale big enough to furnish adequate hedging facilities. This resulted in the evolution of the present future contract, a contract which may or may not have the primary intent of making or accepting delivery, but be hind which there is always the Iron-clad obli gation to make or accept delivery unless the con tract is liquidated through the mutual consent of the ultimate buyer and seller. money that she received from these turkeys put new life and energy not only in her but her husband and children as well, and It made them see things differently from what they had ever seen them before, and I don’t suppose that this amount of money ever did many families more good than this turkey money did this family. Years ago this‘ country was bountifully supplied with turkeys and there is no reason why It should not be again. By selecting good, strong! vigorous stock and by using two and three-year-old hens with a young male bird and being careful not to inbreed too closely the offspring will be strong and vigorous, and it is not one-half the trouble to succeed and raise a large flock of turkeys as many people imagine, especially If they are careful about selecting their breeders and giving the young ones atten tion during the first four or five weeks of their lives. One of the great ■Z e ZL ar ^N troubles that has always been with turkey raising, especially during the past fifteen years been the scarcity of feea and so much of our acres in Georgia being kept, clean by cotton culture has not made feed available, therefore, lots of people who are inclined to keep turkeys have not done so on this account. But, as the people are changing .and cultivating more corn and grasses in this country these things are being restored, and from present indications for years to come a more bountiful supply of food is in sight suited to turkey growing there is no reason why more attention should not be paid to this industry hereafter and gat our country stocked with turkeys again. There is one town alone in Texas that usually sells several hundred thousands dollars’ worth of turkeys per year and the turkey crop In this section is looked upon with as'much interest as the cotton or fruit crop in some sections of of Georgia. In our sister state Tennessee during the past winter the^e was shipped out of Morristown several thousand dollars’ worth of turkeys, and good part of it was it brought money out of the large eastern cities back to Morristown, and it was distributed among the farmers of the surrounding country, which did this section a world of good. The people in the large cities have to live. A large part of them can afford something good and are people who buy turkey not only for Thanksgiving and Christmas but for many other meals during the year, and the people who produce these products always find a ready market for them, and it is no trouble to get the cash for these products from peo ple who can afford it when we have turkeys to convert intt, chis cash asset. Georgia could just as well as not ship as many thousand dollars’ worth of turkeys to the east as we do of peaches and melons, and a little encourage ment and agitation of this line of work through the count> papers and the large city dailies and agricultural papers of the country could have a great influence in bringing about more interest and attention to this industry, and is one thing our people should think of and try to encourage more than we have ever before. This would be a side issue and practically a pickup to hundreds of people and would be a "’t help, and right now while our state has a large turkey crop would b he time to try and persuade the people who have not turkeys to buy some another season and get them selves in a position so that they will have a start next year. It seems to be a litle thing hut it would mean the saving and producing of millions of dollars to our state if we would „ 0 , , i » give it the attention we should. Ami consumtr, 4 he present cotton (CONTINUED.) URKEY raising is something that the ladies and the chil dren of the farm can easily do and look after tnat will bring them in a large per cent of profit at the end of the vear. I especially know of several families who have been started on the road to pros perity and the children enabled to have advantages and secure an edu cation through their mothers rais ing several flocks if turkeys, and had it not been for these turkeys this state of affairs could have never existed. Three families that I have in mind have enjoyed the ben efits derived from a small invest ment in turkeys. The good part about it is when you are successful and raise fifty to two hundred head of turkeys h« one season when they are marketed Thanksgiving or Christmas they bring a good pile of money. It takes a great many chickens and ducks to bring in as much revenue as one hundred head of turkeys will bring. When the Bronze variety of turkeys is used they grow to immense size and as they are usually sold by the pound an ordinary turkey sells usually from $2.50 to $6.00 per head. You can readily see how much cash a person will have when they market twenty of more turkeys, and this money coming all m a lump looks like you are doing something. For instance, I know of one lady who in one season sold more than $160 worth of turkeys raised from four hens, and I am confident this lady never before in all her life had more than $50 at one time.

So I nave determined to send a copy of the preparation free of charge in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope, to any man who will write us for It. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe It to my fellowman to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative, up building, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever de vised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop nu a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 3771 Luck Bulding, De troit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary en velope, free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it en tirely free.—(AdrUi
