THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST. 22, 1913.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Cotton was homewbat
Irregular at the start, prices being 4 points
lower to 5 points higher. Weak Liverpool cables
were offset by a bullish private report on con
ditions In Texas and Oklahoma. The outlook
was for continued dry weather. Business was
active and there was heavy realizing hero and
lu England, but offerings were well taken and
prices made new high ground, active months sell
ing about 5 points net higher. The advance was
checked continued profit-taking aud reactions
of several points occurred during the early
trading. „
The market seemed more or less unsettled late
in the morning with prices selling off several
points from the best but firming up again on
detailed weather reports, witfr active months
unchanged to 2 points higher at midday.
After selling about 13 to 14 points net higher
at noon cotton turned easier under heavy rea
lizing inspired by reports of an easier southern
spot basis and private predictions of general
•tains within the next two or three days. Soil
ing was heavy on the reaction which carried
prices back to within 3 or 4 points of yester
day’s finals.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 22.—Cotton futures
opened *steady at an advance of 1 to 5 points
on continued drouth in the western cotton belt.
Cables were much lower than due and a small
failure was reported in the English market
Both features were ignored. After the call the
market stood 5 to 7 points up. Buying was
good for both accounts. The posting of the
weather forecast predicting cloudy weather for
a large part of the western belt encouraged
the hope that moisture was in sight. Bears
increased their offerings of short cotton and
holders of long cotton sold out on a large scale
with the result that at the end of the first
half hour of business prices were 8 to 9 points
under yesterday’s close
Toward the middle of the morning fresh re
ports of crop deterioration in the west and
claims that in some. counties of Texas aud Ok
lahoma irreparable crop damage had been done
stimulated buying. Shorts covered and large buy
ing orders for long account tame in from interior
points. The inquiry was met by very limited
offerings and the decline of the early hours was
quickly recovered and a net advance again es
tablished. Late in the morning the trading
months were 9 to 10 points over yesterday’s last
quotations. Bulls again started profit taking
and at noon prices were at a net rise of 3 to 4
points.

weather report which was posted at noon for
yesterday on the western belt, showing very
high temperatures in Texas aud Oklahoma, with
no rain. This started the buying and some 12
to 14 points rally followed quickly. It Is be
lieved that the short interest has been reduced
to a great extent on this advance. Some of
the local weather experts are now predicting
general rains in the next forty-eight hours which
is bringing out some selling and profit taking.
Should these rains occur, it is likely that we
will get a setback. The bull leaders are con
fident of their position and are predicting 12
cents for December in the very near future.—

HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 21.—The weather
map shows very favorable developments over
night with cloudy weather and scattered show
ers over the central and eastern states from
where reports, expressing fear of damage by
the dry weather, were beginning- to arrive. It
Is partly cloudy In the western states and
pi’ospects are much brighter for precipitation
and cooler • weather in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Cloudy, unsettled weather and scattered showers
in the rest of the belt.
Liverpool* came .in disappointing with futures
at one time 6 Tower than due- spot prices
11 up, sales only 5,000 bales. The failure of
W. H. Thompson and company was reported.
Our market advanced a little at the open
ing but soon droped UN points when official
forecasts promised showers for the central and
eastern states and increasing cloudiness in Okla
homa and Arkansas. Trading settled around
11.55' for October and the market is quieter.
Visible supply changes tomorrow are expected
to be bullish on account of the slow appearance
of new cotton.

Saving and Investing
GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER IN FINANCE
BY JOHN V 0SK1S0S
A fat man sat in a chair in a dim
corner of his office in the Wall street
district, and with only an occasional
slap of his open hand on the table be
side him and only ah occasional slow
nod of his strongly pivoted head re
vealed his plan to market the shares of
a gold mine in which he had lately be
come interested.
He is supposed to be a broker—and
he won’t turn away th$ visitors who
want to invest money in standard
stocks and bonds. He hands them
over to other brokers who actually do
business on the exchange.
But it had occurred to him (so he
told me) that it would be worth while
to get some one in his office who could
follow the investment market and ad
vise ’his clientele of real bargains.
What did I think of. the idea?
I said, it is a fine idea; and then he
went to outline his plan for building
up, through a series of intelligent, well-
written weekly letters, a feeling of con
fidence in him and his office. Of course,
he didn’t expect that sort of business to
pay him; but later' on, when the prop
erties in which he was especially inter
ested were whipped info shape to be put
on the market he would find a public
waiting to accept his advice to come in
und buy.
What did I think of that idea? I
didn't reply directly to the question. In
stead, I rose and went to a map which
hung on the wall and asked the fat man
to tell me something about that gold
mining property—marked very prettily
in green and red. He got the point, and
launched into a long defense of the fi
nancial adventurer who takes a chance
with his own money and who takes the
money of others on the understanding
that it is to go into speculative enter
prises.
You have probably heard the argu
ments—where would we be today, as
competitors in the mining and manufac
turing field, had there been no men with
money brave enough to risk it in ex
ploring the mountains of the west or
in developing the telephone?
I had to agree that financial adven
turers play a large and often indispen
sable part in the development of the
resources of a country. But I tried
to point out to this fat man that what
he was proposing to do was to train a
body of real investors (who are prop
erly neither speculators nor adventur
ers) to follow him through the settled
•ountry of investment finance, and then
suddenly call upon'them to jump the
fences and follow him over untried
ground toward a sort of end-of-the-

COTTON GOSSIP
The Times-Democrnt says: Many reports of
cotton crop deterioration came in from the west
yesterday, and the bull party developed more
steam than the cotton market has known in
many a day. The Oklahoma crop is uudouDt-
edly suffering severely. Regarding the Texas
crop, there is a world of diverse ©pinion. Day
after day the official forecast calls fer fair
weather (md the official report reveal# a few
light, widely scattered showers. Meanwhile
private correspondents, day after day, report
beneficial showers of a more or less general
character, which the government fails to con
firm. Thus the basis of the information bear
ing on Texas is so badly mixed in the minds
of the talent rs to color crop condition reports
in both directions. Yesterday one reliable cor
respondent wired, “Drouth not relieved, and it
is now too late for rains to help much over a
large area in Texas.’’ Other correspondents,
with every show of confidence in their own in
formation, asserted that most sections had re
ceived some beneficial moisture; that over
fruited plants had lost the excess only and had
deteriorated no more than normally, and that
the Texas crop promises to be as large as that
of last year. But the constant reference to
drouth damage in the advices reaching Europe
has awakened some fear as to the size of the
outturn, which, for the moment, at least, has
overshadowed the scarcity of forward demand,
the fact that the Clarke rider has not yet been
killed, and the unfavorable reports coming from
sooie of the foreign spinning centers. Texas
sold some hedges in the local market, but they
were readily absorbed, in spite of the reports
from Galveston to the effect that ocean freight
room is being relet. This reletting of freight
room at the Texas port is explained as due to
heavy engagements some time ago, aud to the
small number of bales now showing up. Spot
demand rather keen.
The map shows cloudy in the central and
eastern belt and the southern half of Texas;
partly cloudy In the northern half and Okla
homa. No rain shown by map in the west, but
private reports show several showers. Scat
tered showers iu the central aud eastern states.
Indications are good for showery, cooler weather

Very bad report on central, norm #nd west
T hroughout the south
there is very little atten
tion paid to sheep and
goats, but there are thousands of
acres of land in Georgia, especial
ly in the northern part of the
state that is naturally well suited
to the raising of goats especially,
and this land is absolutely unfit
for anything else. There are al
ready quite a few people who are
in a small way indulging in the
goat business in north Georgia
and they And it very profitable,
especially where they have used
Angoras to various crosses. Kid
is sold and often used In the place
of lamb and there is no reason
why it should not be just as good,
especially where it is fat. With
the world of bushes and grasses
that can be had on thousands of
acres -of north Georgia oak and
hickory land in the mountains
thousands of poundls of sheep and
goat flesh could be raised on these
lands if we would pay attention to
it. But, the word- “goat” seems
insignificant and there Is a world
of people who care to pay but lit
tle attention to them.
Goats are prolific breeders and
will produce two to four young
per year easily, and if these young
ones are fat they will easily sell
to the butcher at about $2 each.
It requires so little feed for them
that you can readily see what a
big per cent of profit a flock of
goats would make for you.
Sheep at one time were bred
very extensively in south Georgia
and there is quite a number of
flocks that are practically wild at
present. Quite a few farmers of
north Georgia have taken up the breeding of a better quality of sheep
and are feeding and taking care of their herds with more interest than
ever. It is well that they are doing so because a lamb this year certain
ly has brought a fine price. »
With the thousands of waste acres in north Georgia and in Florida
that an immense amount of food could be produced on it does look like
the people of these sections would convert these feeds into food through
goats, sheep and even cattle. But, how few people are doing so. Cotton
seems to be the only thing that attracts any attention nowadays from
the farmer. It may he well and there might be a reason for It, but with
the present price of food products of all kinds and people begging for
them every day it does look like our people would take up the live
stock industry even as a side issue and pay more attention to it than we
ever have. There are worlds of cheap lands in the mountains and val
leys of north Georgia that can be bought for almost a song that would
grow the best of sheep and goats, and furnish plenty tender, sueculeift
food for them during the entire year and at the end of the year he
worth thousands of dollars when as it is now it is not worth a penny.
The sals of wool, also clippings from Angora goats which sells for
mohair, always commands a good price, and it really pays a good per
cent of profit if you only realize the sale of wool and hair from sheep
and goats to keep them, to say nothing of the offspring and what it
would be worth. On account of the dogs a great many people have quit*
keeping sheep, but in Tennessee, Kentucky and many of the states where
people are compelled to convert their food products through live stock
into money they do not neglect their sheep and goat industry any more
than we do our cotton and corn industry. The truth has been that our
farmers have made money too easy on the average Georgia farm out
of cotton and have paid but little attention to anything else. This is
one reason why packing house products and food products of all kinds
are selling at such a tremendous,^
price today compared with what'
they were a few years ago.

QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
QUESTION.
Douglas, Ga.: If it Is not asking too
much of you, would thank you to give
me the following information:
I hape a very nice S. C. White Leg-
hrn cockerel in shape and color, in
fact is a very ne bird with the ex
ception that he has white in his ear
lobes. I bought the eggs that he was
hatched from, from a breeder of high
class poultry, and he stated that the
eggs were fromfl the pens containing
some of his very best males. Do you
think it would be advisable to breed
from him or would you discard him on
that one defect? The white in the ear
lobes extends a part of the way
around the lobes, but does not run
through them. I have been breeding
this breed of birds a few years, but
riever had any trouble in this respect
before. Thanking you in advance for
this information, I ai* T. G.
ANSWER.
Leghorns should have white ear
lobes. It is possible that you mean
the bird has some red in his ear lobes
which is ofterf the case with Leghorns
and especially with afie. Nearly all
male birds, and femades after they
pass one year old show more or less
red in their lobes. When two male
birds fight they usually injure the
lobes so that the white enamel comes
off and will leave it red, and I ex
pect that is the case with your bird.
Red in the lobe of a cockerel is con
sidered a defect more, so than in a
cock bird, and usually in a cockerel
in scoring a bird a cut of one to one
and a half is usually counted against
red in the lobes of a cockerel, but a
cock bird not so severe. If your bird
is good In other respects I would not
discard him cm account of this slight
defect as it does not amount to very
much.

Pacing Mustang
Hangs up a New
R ecorcl for Mil
(By Associated Press.)
GOSHEN, N. Y., Aug. 21.—By pacing
a mile in 2:02 3-4 in the final heat of
the 2:09 pace here yesterday, Directum
I, the sensational pacer owned by James
Butler, of New York, established a new
world’s record, reducing the mark set
by him at Monroe last week by 1 1-2
seconds.
This new mark equals the time made
by Uhlan, the champion trotter, two
years ago.
It*.was announced that owing to the
accident that Uhlan met with on Tues
day afternon, w'hen he struck his quar-
terboot in rounding the turn, the cham
pion would be unable to go against this
record of 2:02 3-4 today.

American Tractor in Peru
Weekly Implement Trade Journal.
A demonstration was recently made in
the suburbs of Lima, Peru, of an
American traction engine. A specialt
train was run to the field. About one
hundred owners of estates in Peru, the
minister of public works and develop
ment, the director of irrigation and ag
riculture, and other officials of the gov
ernment as well as the principal offi
cers of the American legation in Lima
and the consulate general were present.
The object of the demonstration was
to place on record the facts relative to
the possibilities of traction engines in
Peru for cultivation of sugar estates
and the great saving in cost as compar
ed with present methods! The exhibition
lasted the whole day, and the specta
tors seemed well pleased with the deep
plowing possibilities and the complete
success of the machine in overturning
the surface of an old field formerly
pianted in cane and still covered with
roots, which hitherto have always had
to be burned out.
Several British and other foreign ma
chines have been imported into Peru,
but this is the first American tractor
of its kind known to have been used in
the republic. ^
