THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1913. r i^r^-rr rfv —rvfT I MARKET : epo: R1 rs Atlanta Markets (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. July 17.—A private report mak lng the condition of the growing crop S3.4 is of July 10, against S4.8 as of June 23, and thus suggesting a deterioration of over 1 per cent for the first half of the crop reporting period, served to offset rather disappointing Liverpool cables in the cotton market at the opening this morning. Some buying was also proraerted by forecasts for continued 0.y weather in the south, and the market opened •toady at an advance of 1 to 3 points. There ■was a good deal of scattered realizing, how ever, and fluctuations were irregular within a range of 2 or 3 points during the early trad ing. . The market was quiet late in the morning with prices easing off 5 or 6 points from the West under realizing. Trading remained very quiet during the early afternoon and prices ruled within a point or two of yesterday’s closing.

NEW ORLEANS, July 17.—Cotton futures Opened steady, unchanged to 3 points down com pared with the cloise of yesterday. Cables were net quite up to expectations but short selling was prevented by the continued dry weather in the belt and the forecast of fair weather tonight and tomorrow for all belts. In the early trading prices moved little. At the lowest they were 1 to 3 points over yes terday’s final figures and at the end of the first half hour of business they were 1 over. Some disposition to advance was shown around the middle of the morning as the result of re ports that the dqmand was good for spot cotton for October and later delivery. This was met by the claims of the bears that the early sec tions of the belt were offering cotton freely. No concessions in prices were mentioned, how ever. It was said that certain spot interests were endeavoring to build up stocks at United States ports, especially at New Orleans and New York. At the highest of the morning prices were unchanged to 1 point up compart'd with yesterday’s final figures. - At noon they were 1 point down. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

General ly fair in the belt, except some cloudiness in the sout;i cental- belt and along the Atlantic coast. Cooler in north Texas, Oklahoma and western Arkansas. A few isolated showers in Mississippi and Georgia. The best opinion from the western states is that thf present dry weather without auy great excess iu temperature Is most favorable, giv ing the plant solidity, helping fruitable, pro moting maturity and checking insect damage. Indications are for part cloudy to fair weather in the belt and barometric line gare shaping for increasing cloudiness in the northwestern portion with Increased prospect for some preci pitation over Sunday. Liverpool came ki rather disappointing with futures about 2 points lower than due. Spots 2 points down; sales 10,000 bales. Letters from the best people there report a let-up in trade activity and express concern over the financial and labor situation. Miss Giles makes the crop condition 83.4 for the half month, against 84.8 June 30. Our market opened unchanged and remained In a waiting attitude around 117.57 for October. A New York observer says that a skillfully en gineered crop scare is among the possibilities aad borrowed trouble in the way of continued -dry weather in Texas Is the bull argument se lected lor the purpose. This explains the action of the New York market and shows the inten tions existing In that quarter. The Into sight for the week points to around 25,000’, agains 25,460 bales la9t year.

COTTONSEED OIL MARKET NEW YORK, July 17.—Cottonseed oil moved into new high ground with trading broad and active. Rumors that Europe was in the mar ket, together with good buying by refiners served to run shorts to cover and speculative demand for new crop months is on the increase, encouraged by the big discount under near months. The strength in lard and continued good demand for compound also were contribut ing factors to the advance—Pearsall. COTTON OIL MARKET. Open. Close.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. Josepbthal, Louehheim & Co.: We continue to advise sales on all strong spots. Morris H. Rothschild & Co.: The market Is in good position to respond easily to unfavora ble conditions. Logan & Bryan:::: A higher range of values is not at all unlikely. Hayden, Stone &- Co.: This Is the normal sea son for crop scares, and* the market is likely to be feverish while uncertainty over the crop lasts. * Miller &&& Oo.: A skillfully engineered crop scare is, therefore, among the possibilities and a further advance likely. NEW YORK COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, July 17.—The market was firm early on tht Giles’ report showing a deteriora tion of 1.4 during the past two weeks, and on scattered uhort covering In July. Offerings, however, became freer on the slight advance and the market; reacted, becoming extremely inactive after the first hour. Traders were dis inclined to believe the Giles’ figures as the pop ular impression in that the crop has improved since the last bureau. We hear of another ship ment of 4,000 bales out of the local stock wkien will reduce it to 25,000 and this has a tendency to restrict sales and makes the market narrow. —Anderson.

J.okson Blvd., Chicago , VERY indication points to the most active campaign this fall and winter the south has seen for many years in fancy poultry. The southern fairs have, found out that the poultry depart ment is one of the lesfding fea tures of the fair, and they have furthermore found out that this line of work needs encouragement, and the best premiums that have ever been offered have been set as.de to be paid this fall at the coming southern fairs and poultry shows. Nearly every county of any size in Georgia will hold a fair this fall. All of the states will hold fairs and from $1,000 to $2,000 in actual cash is set aside at nearly every one of these exhibi tions this fall. Aside from the liberal premi ums that will he’ paid there will be the best opportunity to make sales that has been presented to the poultrymen for many years. As the poultry crop all over the entire south this year is short competition will not be so great as it has been and the chances of winning will be much easier than has been in many yearF The breeder who has the goods can go out this fall and not only be well paid in the premiums he will win but will make many sales more easily than he has been able to do for several years past. The fair associations have certainly been liberal in this re spect and have opened up their hearts this year more freely than ever. They are doing everything in their power to encourage the production of more poultry throughout the south. As the circuits have been so completely arranged this fall any one can take a string of birds and go from one fair to another and make it pay handsomely in the amount of ca3h they would win, outside of the sales they would make. This same state of affairs existed eight or ten years ago and the opportunity has come around again for a breeder with a good show string to go out and make more money this fall than he has had an opportunity to do for many years. Those who are in a position to make a good display at the fairs this fall should begin now to get rtleir birds in shape and prepare for this work as the trade will be await ing them and prizes will be leasier to win than ever before. Do not let this opportunity to win prizes and make sales that will he worth much to you from on advertising standpoint get away from you as the chance is for you here this fall. You can expect more or less competition from the eastern breeders as they are quick to see this opportunity and I am sure they will take advantage of the opportunity presented them forthwith this w nter in this respect and will, come south after this good money. If you expect to make exhibits this fall it would be a good idea now to write the secretary of each of the county or state fair associations for a premium list and arrange your circuit for the coming shows. The same string of birds if once put in condition and properly handed can he exhibited at half dozen or more shows, and a good bird can win several times its actual value at the many different shows exhibited at. The same opportunity will be offei-ed at the winter shows as ever/ city in the south will have good shows this winter and splendid premiums will be offered. There never has been-a year before that such opportunities have been offered for the poultryman to make money as there is this year, and the' poultrymen who take advantage __ of these oportunities certainly will be rewarded and will not regret it. ** *' * - 'tT ^** "'•'*'*’*"' ^ Yours very truly, (r ^ QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. Mr. Loring- Brown, Smyrna, Ga.: Dear Sir—I read quite often your advice on how to raise and care for poultry. Now, Mr. Brown, I want to know what to do for my chick ens and turkeys. They are dying- of what we call cholera. They droop around a few days and die. We have cholera to get among our chickens two or three times each year. We have a nice fowl house, with plenty fresh air, and the top is good, so as to keep out all rain. I noticed your article on the drink ing trough. Very often I use car bolic acid in the water, and some times burn sulphur in the house. Please advise me what to do and what causes cholera. We also busy everything that dies. My turkeys are also dying. , I have a very fine gobbler sick now. and I am afraid I will lose him. Now, Mr. Brown, an early reply will be much appre ciated. Yours truly, MRS. B. R. TRUSDELL, Camden, S. C., Route 3. Your chickens and turkeys have what is known as limberneck, caused from eating either magots or putrid matter of some kind that they get around the premises where the chickens havte died, or have been buried. If you will yard all the chickens and turkeys in a place where they can get only clean, sound food, you can stop the trouble. It is almost impossible to bury dead chickens or carcasses of any kind without danger of it being scratched up or leaying the spot where it was buried contaminated, and when the chickens come in con tact with this they get enough of the poisonous matter to kill them. It is always best to burn dead car casses. Conkey’s limberneck . cure will cure those that are not too far gone, and it should be fed to the well ones that are not affected yet. Their systems should be thoroughly cleansed of the poison food that has been eaten, and when this is done they will stop dying. I have never seen a case of chicken cholera, but have seen many cases of limberneck. which is mistaken for cholera, and at this season of the year many are hav ing the same trouble you are hav ing. With clean water, clean food and a clean yafd, you can stop the trouble at once. Yours truly, LORING BROWN. Saving and Investing ENGLISH INVESTMENTS. Bt JOHN M. C SKI SON In 1896 “consols” (an English se curity correspondirtg in their perfect saftey and low yield to our govern ment bonds) sold for $114 for each $100 of face value. They may now be bought for $75 for each $100 of face value. The three per centf loans of England’s colonies sold in 1896 very close to their face value—today they* are quoted between 75 and 76. In the same period railway shares of the standard sort have declined in price about 30 per cent. A great number of shares in the breweries during the years from 1896 to 1913 have either gone down in price as much as have the railway shares or have disap peared from the quotations altogether. This is a startling change in the in vestment standing of a very wide va riety of securities held by a class of experienced investors. It is such a change as ought naturally to cause some diligent inquiry am'ong our own investors. The English investor's losses have come through a misreading of the future. In 1896 he believed that money would always be plentiful and cheap, as. it was then. He believed that the choice of safe investment would al ways be very strictly limited, as it w’as then. As a matter of history, since 1898 the demand for English money has grown steadily, and the rates on safe investments available to the English investor have risen. That is a sufficient explanation of the de cline in favor of “console” and ot other favorite investments in Eng land. You see, the investor needs to be a world econpmist. He Is the most suc cessful investor who can foresee In dustrial development. When capital is plentiful, for example, he is not like ly to tie it up for long periods, but when it is dear and commands high rates he will invest in long term se curities. Knowing ahead when these times are coming is the test for the wise investor to meet. WANTED HELP—MALE POSTAL CLERKS—CITY MAIL CARRIER8— Wanted for parcel post. Commence $65 month.

UNIFORM MILEAGE FOR WHOLE UNITED STATES PHILADELPHIA, July 17.—The Trav elers' Protective association has named a railroad committee, with instructions to campaign for a uniform mileage book, good on all railroads in the United States. R. R. Boggs, of this city, has been ap pointed to look after the New England and middle states district. The trunk lines east of the Rocky Mountains district have been divided Into four additional districts, each, represent ed by a member of the committee. Other districts are the south Atlantic states, the states of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Nebras ka and Kansas. At present about forty mileage books are required by traveling men who have business in all sections of the country. According to Mr. Boggs some of the rail roads favor the project, while others op pose it vigorously. The association hopes to have the uniform book established in the eastern part of the country within the next twQ» years. above 100 at many places In western Missouri, continued unabated through out the two states today.
