I THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1913. (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—Reports from Wash- h;gton thjrt if passed, the cotton tax bill wouUJ not affect tlie present crop, seemed chiefly resjionsiblc for sensational buying in the cotton market, opening was steady at 33 to 44 points up. Eulls who had liquidated last week seemed to be rebuying, encouraged by Liverpool cables 1 and bullish crop accounts from Arkansas. The census report had no immediate influence on prices. Realizing caused irregularity right after the call but prices bold 32 to 35 points net higher. The market was very much unsetttled later in the morning. The detailed weather reports showing that showers had been quite general in \ the southwest over Sunday, promoted more or less realizing, while there was aiso a rumor ■ that an eicort was being made In the senate to kill the amendment to the rutnres bill, post poning Its effect until next September. Active months were still about thirty to thirty-three points net higher at midday. Estimates receipts today 29,000 bales. Denials of the rumors that the senate might • yet make the cotton schedule immediately co operative were followed by another strong up turn in the cotton market during the early afternoon and active months sold 53 to 54 points net higher. Realizing checked the ad vance around this level and slight reactions occurred from the best but there was a good demand on all setbacks.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8.—Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of 23 to 29 Points on the change made in the Clarke amendment, postponing the tax on cotton futures for a year, good cables and continued unfavorable crop #aecounts from the west. ’The first gin- ner’s r^bort of the season by the census bureau showing 794,006 bales ginned up to September 1, the largest on record to that date, had no bearmsh effect on the market. The news from Washington was regarded as being of the high est importance and it caused heavy buying of the best character. At the end of the first hour of business prices were 29 to 32 points *The detailed weather reports indicated that •good rains fell in important sections of Texas, and the forecast of unsettled and sUo ^ e ^ weather west of the Mississippi created the hope that more rain would fall A few days ago such a change in weather conditions would have caused heavy selling and a severe break in prices, but bolstered up as it was by tne more favorable outlook in W ashington, the market was not at all affected by weather conditions At tbe middle of the morning prices . -were 34 to 35 points up This was followed by a reaction of about 10 points on profit-taking, bot at noon the trading months were 34 to 3S points over Saturday’s close NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—There is no doubt that tbe scattered long interest has been almost if not entirely eliminated, and the opening gave evidence of a local short interest. Brokers who usually represent the larger spot interests were the principal buyers, and 1 understand some of the most conservative people aro advis ing the purchase of cotton at tlic present level. The ginning figures, showing 794,006 ginned to 1 date, was considered bearish, being the record for this period. Such figures cun easily be accounted for, however, owing to the early movement in south Texas, and, naturally, a planter would rush his picking at present prices for spot cotton. There are some rains re ported in Texas and Oklahoma today, but It is not believed they will do much good now.— Andersbn. COPPER PRODUCERS’ STATEMENT NEW’ YORK, Sept. 8.—The statement of the Copper Producers’ association for' August shows a decrease in stocks on hand of 15,2S0,90S pounds, compared with the previous month.

NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 8.—Liverpool had the advantage over our markets in respect to the change in date of the Clarke measure, and came in about 12 better than due. Spots 4 lower, sales 8,000 bales. The census report gives 794,000 ginned^ to September 1. against 730,935 last year. While the large Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas gin- nings are partly due to unfavorable drouth con ditions, the large glnnings In Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, are evidently the result of larger crops normally matured. Our markets continued very steady at the advance. There was much liquidation last week owing to the fear that the Clarke measure would become effective immediately, but now that a year’s respite has been granted, the feeling is more hopeful and bullish Interests were replaced in the market causing advance. It Is also thought that foreign merchants and consumers will now enter the market more free ly for spots. NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET CENSUS BUREAU REPORTS 794,006 BALES GINNED his Compares With 730,935 Bales Last Year, 771,297 Year Before (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The greatest quan tity of cotton ever ginned in the season prior to September 1 was reported by the census bu reau today when it was aunounced 794,006 hales of the growth of 1913 had been put out 'rom the ginneries throughout the south. The heavy glnnings for tile first period are the result of an early maturing of the crop and an effort by farmers to beat the boll weevil, in t he op inion of census bureau officials. All states reported an increased ginning for the period o>jer last year’s totals for that time itii the exception of Texas and North Caro lina. Last year to September 1 there had been ginned 5.4 per cent of the entire crop; in 1911 the quantity was 5 per cent.

Output of >1912-13 Valued at $998,425,059—Average Price for Year 12,20 Cents NEW ORLEANS. La., Sept. 5.—Secretary Hester’s annual report on the cotton crop, puts crop of 1912-13 at 14,107,115 bales, a decrease under that of 1911-12 of 1,971,311 bales and an increase over tbfit of 1910-11 of 2,047,020. He says that the crop of Texas, which is 535,000 bales over last year, is the largest ever grown in that state, but that the Texas in crease has been more than offset by a falling off In other sections, the group of ‘‘other gulf states,” embracing Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar kansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arizo na, California, Kansas and New Mexico, having fallen off 496,000 hales and the group of At lantic states, including Alabama. North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ken tucky and Virginia showing a decrease of 2,010,- 000 bales. The weight of the crop, Mr. Hester says was 4 27-100 pounds per bale heuvier, tbe increased weight being equivalent to an additional 118,000 bales of last year’s growth, and practically every vestige of the crop has been used and the mills have had to entrench on the visible and invisible supply left over from last season to the extent of' 720.000 bales. In grade the crop has been better, averaging midling to strict midling compared with an average for last year of strict low midling to middling. He puts the average price per pound for mid dling for tbe year at 12.20 cents, compared with 10.16 last year, 14.61 year before and 14.37 in 1909-10, and the average commercial value per bale at $63.59, against $51.45 last year, and $75.69 the year before. The value of the crop including the seed Is put at $998,425,059, against $937,280,764 and attention is called to the fact that for a crop embracing 1,971,311 bales less cotton and 893,000 tons less seed, the south received over $01,000,- 000 more in money. Approximately the actual growth was 14,- 003,000 bales, or 74,000 bales less than tbe com mercial crop. His report of the crop by states follows in thousands of bales. Alabama, 1,390, against 1,738 last year; Ar kansas, S20, against 941 last year; Florida, 62, against 95 last year; Georgia, 1,920. against 2,878 last year; Louisiana, 390, against 403 last year; Oklahoma, 1,051 against 1.036 last year: Mississippi, 1,042 against 1,221 last year; North Carolina, 974 against 1.194 last year; South Carolina, 1,281 against 1,732 last year; Tennessee. 375 against 573 last year; Texas, 4,862 against 4,327 last year. Total crop bales 14,167 against 16,138 last year. Mr. Hester says that American mills have had another year of remarkable activity both north and south; the number of bales used hav ing been greater than ever before, and aside from mention in some instances of necessity for more labor there has been a singular absence of complaints of any kind. In the south, which has beeh the most active, mill replies as a rule, have contained the stereotyped statement, of “full time.’’ An Increase of 545,000 spindles Is shown in southern mills In operation, and seven mills in course of construction, with liberal additions of spindles to old concerns embrace a total of exceeding 300,000 additional spindles, most of which may come Into play in the near future.. Last season, he says, the mills as a whole did not reach their maximum consumption until the last half of the year. This year, while the aggregates have varied, there has been no let up from month to month and early Indications of record consumption were sustained as tbe season progressed. He puts the spindles In the south at 12,810- 333, including old, idle and not completed, agninst 12,318,356 last year. The consumption of American cotton by north ern and western mills Is put at 2,617,000, against 2,481,000 last year. North and south, the aggregate consumption was 5,587,000, while they used 218,000 hales of foreign cotton-, mak ing a totale consumption of all kinds 5,805,000, agninst 483.000 last year. He puts the world’s consumption of American tqtton at 14,903,000, an increase over last year of 388,000, and an Increase over tbe year before last of 2,849,000. In the south Mr. Hester makes the consump tion 223,492 bales over last year and 6$0,943 over the year before. Of the total of 841 mills, 804 have, been In operation. Including one exclusively on foreign cotton; 30 were idle and 7 in course of con struction. The year’s consumption is? divided as follows: The Fall Garden Saving and "Investing Profits of Monopoly Uncertain BT JOHN S* 0SK.130S FREE 4 ffga* Bell 12 articles at 10c. send us the money and we will give you 4 rings and bracelet.

The following were the cash quotations on In the year 1910 the stock of the Adams Express company sold as high as $270 a share. In the same year the stock of the American Express company sold up to $320 a share. In the week of August 2-9, 1913, Adams stock was quoted at $145 a share, and American Express stock sold down to $115 a share. Profits on the express business have been huge, and for years a practical monopoly of the field has befen en joyed by a few companies. And while the campaign for the establishment of a parcel post has been going on during the most of the years when the stocks of the express companies were rising in price and when the dividends were being increased and, huge “melons” were being sliced, investors apparently did not believe that the government would ever go into the business of conveying parcels to such an extent that the earn ings of the express companies would be seriously affected. But today the express companies are squarely up against the opposition of the parcel post on all packages weigh ing twenty pounds or less. According to their own figures, the express com panies cannot compete for that class of packages; and it is a fairly good estimate that they will lose 30 per cent of their revenue from the carrying of packages. Of course, the effect of the competi tion of the parcel post is reflected in the price of the stocks of the ex press companies. Former prices were due to an artificial condition, to the maintenance of a monopoly which could not be expected to last indefi nitely. Here is a very pertinent illustration of one of the dangers the untaught in vestor is apt to meet when he goes into the market. It is not enough to know that a certain stock has a long record of earnings and of steadily ris ing- prices. Quite as important is the view ahead. He must be able to forecast with reasonable accuracy the future of the business in whose stocks he puts his money. The investor who wants to sleep soundly, without worrying about his stock holdings, may safely avoid putting his- money into any business which de pends for profits on a monopoly. In this country that monopoly won’t last. In- De- STATE. Bales. creas. c rease.

Our seasons, as a rule, throughout the, south, the very fine and unusually favorable for the growing of all kinds of vegetables during the fall months especially If one will watch their chances to plant everything neces sary. when the opportunity pre sents itself, and <* good season can be had to get a stand of seed started. You will find that vegetables grown during the late summer and fall months are muen easier work ed, they usually produce better and give you far more pleasure and profit than the spring garden. Nearly every one naturally plants a garden in the spring anyway, but few think of planting a fall garden, therefore tender fresh vegetables during the fall months are scarcer than durmg the spring and generally commands a higher price than early spring grown veg etables do. There is no excuse why every one should not have an abundance of fresh vegetables dur ing the fall and wrnrer, especially does this apply to late cabbage, collards, beans, radishes, onions, cucumbers, beets, squash, turnips and lettuce, by planting them.it is surprising what an aoundance of these vegetables can be produced during September and October. They can be had in great quanti ties and always bring a fancy price. Lettuce and potatoes by covering up with straw or leaves just before the first freeze comes can be kept tender and nice during the entire winter, and by sufficient protection to keep from freezing the same thing can be had of fall Irish potatoes, and it is a real pleasure to have tender, fresh potatoes and lettuce grown out in the open during Christmas wfcek, and they can be had if properly looked after. One of the great drawbacks with the fall gardens is getting good stands of these seed during late August and early September unless we have suitable seasons for this work, but by the use of hose or irrigation as it is now applied to many sections one can have these things by wetting thoroughly just after planting and keep these plants growing by the use of plenty water during the hot, dry months of August and September. This can be done and is more generally practiced now than ever before, as it is found to be far more profitable even than the spring gardens. For $25 an overhead irrigation system of one line of pjpe can be had to cover 100 square feet that will give rain at any time in any quantity. If you have water supply It is invaluable, will last a lifetime, and you can plow, plant and get a perfect stand of seed at all times. The scarcity of all kinds of food supplies, are making people think of these things more than ever and should not be neglected, but if you have not already done so get busy and plant some of nearly all kinds of seed now, as you will find a good fall garden a great luxury and very profitable and one of the greatest savings that the average family can possibly have. You cannot realize or appreciate what such is worth to you unless you have experienced it and will then never be without it again if you once try planting a full supply of all kinds vegetables during the months of August and September. Anyone who keeps a large number of fowls or a cow will always find . a place to use their surplus vegetables if they have not a near-by market to convert them into cash, and you can certainly help in your egg-produc tion by having an abundance of tender vegetables or green of some kind for your fowls during the fall and winter. Ehndive, Swiss chard, lettuce, collards, cabbage and rape or turnips are all good. They make a quick, tender growth and furnish an abundance of succulent foot, for table con sumption and for your fowls, and a small amount of seed sown will pro duce an abundance of these luxuries for any one who will pay attention to it and look after these little details. Thousands of dollars could be saved in the maintenance of many families if this work was looked after and a little attention paid to it at the right time. And in this day and time it is enconomical and a great help to any one to look out for these little matters, as it means a saving of many dollars and cents to the family to say nothing of the real pleas ure it affords finy one to see growing and in having something to show others what you are doing while many others sit idle and not paying at tention to these little details. It is the little things that coun in every day life, and nothing pays better than - a good fall garden. , Yours very truly, 7^' QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. 1 stick, in barrels, 6%c; Sclileslnger’s Whims, per dozen, $2.00; Schleslnger’s mixed, in palls, 6%c; 30-pound palls chocolate drops (Block’s), 8%c; Colonial chocolates and bonbons, 1 pound packages, $1.75; crackerjack. 100 5c packages, $3.50; cracker-jack, 50 5c packages, • $1.75; Angelus marshmallows, 50 1C° packages, $3.25; Angelas chocolate coated marshmallows, 50 luc packages. $3.25.

Please tell me «how to get rid of the mftes and what to give them to make them eat.

This should be done during the warm days, you must give your house and nest a thorough cleaning by spraying a strong solution of some kind of dip in the house. By washing the roosts thoroughly you can kill all the mites it comes in contact with and by painting the roosts and nests thoroughly once a week for two or three weeks with agasco spray, a tar product, or ordinary GRAND JURY HEARS CHARGES OF ARSON MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 8.— Charges of arson in connection with the destruction of two business houses at Gate City during August were re ported to the Jefferson county grand jury this week by T. L. Austin, state fire marshal, who returned from Bir mingham yesterdayl Mr. Austin made an investigation and found evidence he considered sufficient to warrant the indictment of certain persons. Arrests would have been made had not the grand jury been in session, but Fire Marshal Austin decided to refer the cases to the inquisitorial body di rectly and refused to make public names of the accused persons pending action of the grand jury. The business fiouses were burned at different times and the estimated loss was $3,000. Hope of collecting insur ance will probably be the state’s con tention if indictments are returned.

By painting a six-inch circle around the walls of the poultry house and everywhere the roosts come in contact with the walls every mite that crawls over this will get' stuck and those that are not stuck in the cracks and crevices by the tar will be killed as they attempt to crawl oyer it. It takes thorough work to rid the premises of mites, but it can be done by the free use of any of the coal tar products. Your chickens will not thrive or have good appetiles as long as they are infested with insects. That is the reason they are poor and do not eat. You will see a big differ ence immediately after you get rid of the insects, and they will have good appetites for any kind of wholesome food.

MACON, Ga. Sept. R.—Rev. W. N. Ainsworth, pastor of Mulberry street methodist church, preached to a crowded church last night on “dress, manners and morals of modern women.” Through out his sermon he denounced the mode of fashion now adopted by womanhood. “One of the most ominous perils that threaten our nation today is the mode of fashion adopted by our women,” stated the pastor. “Modern womanhood is not as modest as our mothers used to be. With the larger liberty and freer intercourse of modern life has ccme a decay of manners and loss of rnt'desty. “And this loss of modesty is nowhere more manifested than in the ddess of the hour Dress, while once designed to obscure the destructive features of a woman’s form, is now made to destroy them and the Christian W’orld has adopt ed the hellish inventions of the Paris underworld to tantalize the basest pas sions of mankind. Women can be seen on the streets now any day with dresses of such vulgar display as demand the interference of the police in the interest of public morals.” I Opium.
