THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1913. 7 (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. July 24.—Rather liberal selling Of (.Id crop month son foreign straddle account caused an opening decline of 3 to 8 points in those positions, while new crops, reflecting an absence of rain In Texas and Oklahoma and a bullish crop report by a southwestern authority, opened unchanged to 2 points higher and later sold up about 5 points over the previous close. This advance was soon checked, however, aud partially lost under subsequent rumors that rain had set In over both Texas and Oklahoma. Cables were easy and the eastern belt had good showers again. After declining 30 points on August and 5 to 6 points on new crop the market steadied up toward noon on covering and moderate new buy ing, based on the Idea that after its recent severe decline the market was entitled to some upturn. Estimated receipts today 2,000 bales. Increased activity and decided weakness oc curred after midday, old crops led by August selling off 21 to 31 points under yesterday While new crops showed a net decline of fully 12 points. Selling pressure was heavy and mostly due to the conviction that weather.con ditions were shaping for good rains over Texas. Wall street and the south led the selling.

NEW ORLEANS. July 24.—Cotton futures opened steady, 2 .points down to 3 points up compared with yesterday's close. Cables were not as high as due but they had little influence. Weather reports were considered favorable, muen rain being noted in the cotton region, but they did not stimulate selling. A few July notices were issued but were quickly stopped. Imme diately after the call the active months went 8 to 7 points over yesterday’s final figure®, but this rise did not hold. Seling orders increased and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were 1 point up to 4 points down com pared with yesterday’s last quotations. The market was only moderately active and showed little decided tendency either way until after the middle of the morning, when it weak ened on reports of good rains in Txas. The new crop months weer sol heavily and some little selling 'of August appeared. A part of the of ferings wore apparently from hedge sellers. The demand increased as the market worked lower, apparently coming almost wholly from profit-takers among the shorts. At noon prices weer at their lowest, C to 9 points under yes terday’s close.

This is a penetrat ing, external applica tion that relieves all tension upon the mus cles and enables them to expand without painful strain rpon the ligaments. Thus there is avoided nervous ■pells; the tendency to nausea 0» morning Sickness is counteracted, and a bright, hap py disposition is preserved that reflects wonderfully upon the charcter and tem perament of the little one soon to come. You can obtain a bottle of “Mother’s Friend” at any drug store at $1.00. It preserves the mother’s health, enables her to make a complete recovery, and thus with renewed strength she will eagerly devote herself to the care' and attention which mean so much to the welfare of the child.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S COTTON LETTER. NEW ORLEANS, La., July 24.—The map shows fair weather in Central and south Texas and the Carollnas, cloudy elsewhere; some show ers In northwest Texas and Oklahoma. Gooa rains in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala bama, Tennessee and western Georgia. There are indications for rain in north Texas and Ok lahoma and there will be further showers In the central states; clearing in Atlantics. Tem peratures In north Texas rose as usual before a rainy spell and cooler weather. Liverpool was poor at first, but rallied on an unfavorable report on west Texas from a prom inent traveling crop reporter. The report mere ly showed the need of rain, which need is about to be filled. There was some buying here at the opening on Condill’s report, but the conspicuous weak ness of August In New York suggesting hedge selling and a government forecast for shower* and thunderstorms and cooler In north Texas, oson caused easiness, October selling first to 11.37, later to 11.32.

NEW YORK COTTON LETTER. NEW YORK, July 24.—The leading feature of the market today was the weakness of Au gust, which was said to be on selling bv Tiver- pool undoing straddles, and liquidation in that month by scattered longs. Local professionals sold yesterday on predictions of rains over western belt and the failure of rains to mate rialize caused covering this morning, and pre vented new crop from sympathizing more with the decline in the old. Sentiment continues bearish and if rains should come, which are pre dicted, we may expect a further decline. It is purely a weather market and will be governed accordingly. Crop reports continue good and rains Just now where they are needed would naturally Increase the bearish feeling.—Ander son. SUGAR, PETROLEUM, HIDES AND LEATHER (By Associated Press.)

This is one of the best laws at present the legislature could possibly pass, and one that would mean the sav ing of millions of dollars to each state in years to come. In Atlanta alone during last year there was probably killed not less than $50,- 000 worth of veal calves. The average price received for these calves was about $2.50 each anij even then It was terrible sacrifice to slaughter this bunch of young animals. If they had been kept for twelve months they would have soon grown into at least five times this amount of money, and what could money be invested In for this state that would multiply so fast as this? ’Tis true it is a little trouble and some expense to bring these calves to a point where they could look after themselves or be out of danger, hut there is plenty idle time that is going to waste that could he converted into money if such a law was forced, and these calves, many of them would be cared for. Whe.i these calves are produced the people naturally would under take to raise something to feed them on. Of course the food item has been the main reason why this has never been done before, but as Georgia will have an abundance of feed this year better time than now could never be selected to start this work and this law should be pass ed and put into force at once. It would soon bring about an accum ulation of hundreds of dollars in the state that we do not have now. Fur thermore, it would be something even greater. It would bring about the keeping of a better class of cattle and instead of people using an ordinary scrub hull now, good thoroughbred bulls and better cows would be kept, and in time to come our state would be supported with an abundance of good cattle for beef purposes as well as dairy purposes. I have often said that we could never have either cattie, hogs or poultry until we pro duce something to eat for them. I am still of this opinion that we must have this first, but with the saving of these calves this .will eventually come. And, as it has been proven that alfalfa can grow so abundantly in Georgia, with plenty of alfalfa and plenty cows by saving these calves we could soon have an immense income from beef as well as butter products. There is one valley In California where alfalfa hay sells for $8.00 to $12.00 per ton and by their having an abundance of cattle there was shipped from this one valley alone 37,000,000 pounds of butter last year. We have the demand in the south for hundreds of times as many head of cattle as we now produce and the same amount of butter, and we should produce every bit of this here. If the people will not take hold and do so from their own accord this present legislature should by all means make this calf law and see that it is enforced. It certainly would he a step In the right direction. The game and fish law has done a world of good and any law thar will force people to take care of and produce something to eat is a good law for any section of country. When the habit becomes general Of taking care of and producing live stock, Tish and birds it will become second nature and we will have an abundance of each of these where there is now but little attention paid to it. The protection of the animals alone is not the big part. One of the greatest features connected with the keeping and maintaining of these calves is not so much the actual value in dollars and cents they are worth to us but they would enrich our farms in years to come to such an extent that it would reduce our fertilizer bill at least one-fourth and make by far a greater production on the number of acres we cultivate than we are making at present. The live stock industry has made the west rich and is their main means of support. It would be worth equally as much to every southern state if we would give it thought and attention. They are not so blessed in the west with the cotton crop that we have. On the other hand they haven’t a single advantage over us in the produc tion of live stock, and why we neglect this most Important industry as much as we do has always been a mystery to me. When this calf law is passed five years afterwards hundreds of people will say they orify regret that It was not done before and they will then see what a great benefit it is to us. We can never see these things until they are forced upon us and when the boll weevil hits a large part of our cotton growing section we will then wish we had taken up the live stock interest before. Why should we wait uni,, the last moment to do this when it can be so easily done now, and i hope every legislator will realize the importance of this bill, vote for it and introduce some others similar that will bring about and force on the people of this country the produc tion of more live stock than we have ever had before. By all means pass the calf bill and a monument will be placed some day to the credit of the legislator who has introduced ^ and will see that this bill is passed. Or ^ > Yours very truly, Meeting of the the A'merScaiini gSa Branch of Ass’n J toy. 2 5 A meeting of the Georgia Branch of the American Poultry association will be called to order at 4 o’clock Friday, July 25, at 51 Inman building.

I write you to know if you can tell me what the trouble with my chickens is and advise me as to treatment. They are small broil ers, eat heartily and at next feed or by the ne-xt day will find them drawn up, and on close examination find they are blind, one or both eyes completely closed. What do you suppose caused this trouble? Thanking you in advance for your information. MRS. A. R. B. ANSWER. It would be Impossible for me to tell just what the trouble with your chickens is. There are many rea sons for chickens becoming effected as yours are. It is usually brought about from improper feeding and for the want of sufficient exercise. I am inclined to believe that your chickens are not getting a variety of food sufficient to keep them strong and healthy, and from de scription they evidently have have colds which are brought about from various causes. Crowding or being kept in too close coops or coops with draughts in them will brig about this trouble. Peed a variety and what they will eat up clean, giving plenty green food. They should be fed every two or three hours, and the feed that they do not consume with a relish should be removed and try some other kind of feed. I find this sea son where chickens have been con fined and kept out of the damp ness and with a limited clean range they hav^ prospered and grown much faster when fed a great va riety of feed than those that have had their liberty and eevn fed by the same method. From some cause, I do not know what chickens seem to thrive better when kept up off of the damp ground an dout of the dew. When the young ones are bred from good parent stock and started right to begin with there is usually no trouble in raising a good per cent of them, but many bunches of young chickens are upset the first week of their lives and never amount to much afterwards.

B* JOHN w CSh.*aOM This letter nas come to me: “Dear Sir: 1 note a differnece ot several millions between the figures showing the amount paid out in in terest and dividends on July 1—1 mean, the figures published by different pa pers. The figures you used in a recent article are lower than those published by the Wall Street Journal. Why is this? “I am, also, Interested in getting the figures published for the whole of this year, and in learning how much in vested money is represented in these payments. Can you give me «ome idea? “Very truly yours, “ ‘INVESOR.’ M “Investor’s” letter calls attention to our lack of any accurate method of finding out just what is paid to own ers of stock and holders of bonds in this country. The figures 1 used in a previous article were those compiled by the New York Journal of Commerce. They showed first of July disburse ments of $263,419,305. a Tew aays later as the writer of the letter points out, the Wall Street Journal gave the totai as $265,775,513. According to the Journal, that sum was disbursed on a grand total of capital of $12,854,856,503. The dividends on the $4,755,120,000 of stock amounted to $97,007,487—or just over 2 per cent; and the interest payments of $168,768,- 026 on $8,099,735,790 of bonds was only 6-100 of 1 ner cent higher than the rate of dividends. According to these figures, then, it is fair to say that the average earning on money in stocks and bonds in this country is just over 4 per cent, for these first of July payments are semi annual disbursements as a rule. From January 1 this year the month ly payments of interest and dividends have been: January, $248,000,000; Feb ruary, $36,000,000; March, $113,000,000; April, $171,000,000; May, $113,000,000. and June. $104,000,000. The total for the year, including July 1, w r as $1,101,000,- 000. , No wonder the investment bankers ask for a chance to sell you securities around the first of July!

BOSTON, Mass., July 24.—A cow balked in front of the city hall yes terday and the machinery of govern ment as well as of street traffic stood stock still, while several thousand cit izens offered advice as to how to make the animal move. The cow was being driven from the Brighton stock yands to a freight yard when it stopped in School street. Apparently it had never seen city hall before, for it planted it self squarely in front of the building and stood immovable, despite the per spiring driver. * Police reserves who were hurried out to break the jam of people, tried to move the cow. They pulled and tug ged at a halter about its horns and gave up the job. A man who said he was “from the country” tried cajolery. He too yanked at the rope. A well dressed woman objected to this “cruelty.” A young man laughed at her objection and she called on an officer to have him arrested, the young man in turn asking for the woman’s arrest, because her hat pins were too long. Meanwhile, city hall employes aban doned business and augmented the rap idly growing crowd. Mayor Fitzgerald appeared at a window and suggested; “Make her think you want her to stay and then she’ll move.” It failed. Finally an electric ambulance was summoned and the cow, staring vacant ly, was hoisted aboard bodily and tak en to a freight car to be forwarded to her destination.
