TTTE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, Atlanta, GA., Tuesday, December 23, 1913. MARKET REPORTS (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—There was a renewal of Saturday’s selling movement in cotton. Liv erpool just about met the American wenkness of late last week and the influence of the bearish ginning report was reflected in heavy over-Sunday selling orders. Opened easy at a decline of 7 to 10 points with January con tracts selling at 11.82, or 116 points below the recent high level. There was heavy realizing by recent sellers at this decline, while there was also a good deal of foreign buying and prices became steadier shortly after the call, with active months selling back to within a point or two of Saturday’s closing. After the close of Liverpool had shut out arbitrage buying, the market weakened again, selling about 6 to 10 points net lower with May and July breaking through the opening prices. This reflected qpntinued liquidation and seemed to include selling by some of the early buyers. Prices at midday were within 2 or 3 points of the lowest. There was heavy local and southern liquida tion on the early afternoon break which sent prices 17 to 19 points net lower. Rallies of 5 or 6 points followed on coverings and business became somewhat less activ® around 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 22.—Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of 5 to 9 points. Cables were about as due but browkers had a considerable volume of orders to fill from liq uidating longs that apparently had accumulated over Sunday as the result of the ginning re port of Saturday. First prices were the lowest in the early trading as the decline was met by a good demand, partly from profit-takers on the short side and partly from spot interests. At the end of the first half hour of business the trading months were 1 to 2 points over Saturday's close. The market later was quiet with a small but steady demand which put the trading months 3 to 4 points over Saturday’s last quo tations. Private messages from Liverpool were bullish and predicted buying by spinners at current levels. For a while the market had a steady tone but liquidation of long cotton came in again and bearish traders seeing the effect it was having begun to sell short cotton rather freely. This resulted in a quick break of about 35 points. At noon prices were at their low est, 10 to 11 points under the last figures of Saturday.

Dec. 22.—English con sols show an advance of quarter, and London sends following: “Decidedly more optimistic in the money situation, decided change for the bet ter in Paris; sentiment changing, and it is con sidered possible that the stock markets enter the New Year with buoyancy.” On our side a feeling of confidence is likewise gaining ground now that the currency reform measure is nearly an accomplished fact, and the opposition is accepting the inevitable with good grace, Liverpool came in as due, about 14 lower on fkutures, 16 lower on spots, sales 7,000. The drop in spot sales shows hesitation which is only natural after such a severe break as that which occurred -Saturday in the markets of the producing country. First trades here were at a decline of about 8 points. There was a good demand easily ac counted for by the very large discount of fu tures under spot quotations. The inability to buy spots of the decline in futures produces a hedge demand from consumers while bullish .ex pectations have received a severe shock lately, the belief in justifiably larger values on this sea son’s fundamental conditions of supply and re quirements is unshaken and investment buying making its appearance. The coming holiday and notice day period may check or delay bullish enterprise until after the turn of the year. With the uncertainty attend ing the making of large crops—as demonstrated this year—present prices are justly considered below a reasonable value. BUTTER.

LOOKING WELL AS EVER, WILSON SEES REPORTERS (Bar Associated Press.). WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—President Wilson hadf the glow of health on his cheeks and looked as well as ever when he met the Washington correspondents at a regular Monday morning confer ence today for the first time in several weeks. Egg’S aed Pom I try from the Souith D URING the months of Novem- her and December millions of dollars are being brought to the southern states for the sale of both eggs and poultry. Especially does this apply to Tennessee, North arrd South Carolina and Texas. Trainloads of turkeys have been shipped this year to eastern markets from these sections. Thousands of carloads of eggs and dressed poultry have been shipped into the east from this section of country this fall, and with the present price it has brought many dollars back and distributed it among a class of people who certain ly have been helped in many in stances, a few dollars derived from poultry and eggs going to many fam ilies who needed it. This has done much more good than thousands of dollars would have done a different class of people. On the other hand, the production of this product has done much towards giving to the wealthy and those who could afford it a product of quality that has been appreciated, and the poultry indus try has helped both parties concern ed in this way. It is being noticed every day what a big difference there is now and what there was ten to fifteen years ago -in the handling of these products from the southern states. In the first place instead of shipping eggs in or dinary boxes or barrels, as they were years, ago, they are now carefully pack ed in neat clean cases, every egg .as a rule is tested and assorted before be ing packed. Therefore, saving the freight and the handling of thousands of dozens of eggs and being able to guarantee the quality of every case that is sent. Years ago before these improved methods were discovered very oft en in a large box of eggs many would be broken, they would smeer the re maining ones and naturally lower the price of the entire lot. It is surpris ing what a change has come, and how people have learned to take care of and appreciate the value of eggs. Poultry used to be shipped in crowded coops or in just any kind of an old box, bi& and little, old and young mixed together. But now, nice, neat, light shipping coops are provided, different sizes are usually sold, and dif ferent quality graded and shipped to market that will warrant taking certain grades of poultry. The result vis that the income to the farmers through out the south from this work runs into many thousahds of dollars every year and is helping to provide little comforts and luxuries for hundreds of women and children on the farm that would never have them were it not for chickens. But not 100th as many chickens and eggs are raised and sold in the south as could easily be done. The proposition that con fronts us now is how we can increase this production and help to make mon ey for those who are willing to take hold of it and wish to get something outside of their regular line that they can depend on. The poultry shows and fairs have really been the main educator in this respect. But they, even, do not reach out and get in touch with a certain element of people who should be encouraged to do this work, and some other methods should be applied to the upbuilding of this industry. Our state has between $30,000 and $40,000 appropriated annually for its horticulture^ department. Of course this covers the investigation of the boll weevil and other similar things, but taking into consideration the revenue that is brought t6 our coun try from the sale of eggs it is fully as important, if not more -o, than those other things, and our state has only a small appropriation of something like $3,500 annually through the College of Agriculture to maintain and teach poultry culture in this state. Our sr state entomologist now. It is of just $25,000 for this department and have a branch of poultry husbandry connect ed with the state’s work similar to our state etomologist now. It is of just as much importance, if not more so, and if it was done this $25,000 per year invested in this respect would in less than five years, I am confident, increase the revenue of poultry in this state to $25,000,000 per year. The state could do nothing that would add to its revenue and pay a better per cent of profit than to look after our poultry industry. \ There should by all means be In Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Savannah, and, in fact, in all other large southern cities, a big packing plant estab lished especially for the handling of poultry and eggs, similar to the one at Morristown, Tenn. There would soon be many products grown to main tain these plants if they were once established and the state take up a great campaign in this interest. The packers at Morristown started In a small way a few years ago, and are handling now between $2,000,000 and $3,- 090,00 worth of these products annually. It could be done In this section easily if it was encouraged. And the good part of all is that the immense amount of revenue that is now being brought to the south for the sale of these products is coming from the large eastern cities who are compelled to. have these goods. 1 never realized so much the importance and good that poultry Is doing for our country, or appreciated a conversation more than one indulged in a short time ago with a machine agent in a county. lie told me that some thing like 75 per cent of the machines he sold were sold on a credit to the ladies throughout the country and were paid f-*r with poultry and eggs at something like $2 per month. He would take these at a fair market value and it enabled him to always convert them into cash at a profit, and on the other hand help the lady of the home have something that she could make clothing for her little ones and other members of the family that they they would be deprived of If It was not for their poultry. Not many men would be willing to buy on a credit or make a note for $40 or $50 for a machine, and not many would get up that much cash for a machine. But when they are paid for with poultry and eggs at a small'^amount each month it was scarcely missed, and that he had for the past five years sold a large number of his machines in this way. If this applies to one county, naturally it does to others, and shows conclusively what a big help poultry and egs are to our country. It is a pity but what Georgia could put on a big egg laying compe tition similar to Missouri. The $6,900,000 that Missouri will receive this year from her poultry is a big item, and I believe if such a competition was put on in Georgia that in five years we could have our state show at least one-third this much revenue brought to the state. There are various ways and many instances that could be mentioned what poultry and eggs are doing for this state, but the few above men tioned will give us some idea of what can be accomplished and of how much real value in dollars and cents this in dustry is to our country. 1 ■ Yours very truly, QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. Please give me an immediate re sponse to this. I have a hen which I regard highly. Early last summer in hav ing her greased to keep off insects, the person handling her was so careless as to injure one of her legs. I thought it was broken, but she did not recover. Since the cool, rainy weather has come on she is worse again, very lame. Could it be rheu matism, and if so what would you advise? Do not say “kill her,” but tell me something to do for her. Hoping to hear promptly, I remain, W. E. C. ANSWER. It is possible that in catching the hen some of the leaders in her leg were strained or broken, and the damp weather would cause soreness to appear the same as usually is the case with rheumatism. If you wish to keep the hen I wduld, advise keeping her in a small space where she would/only have a limited amount of exercise and allow her to roost on a low roost or on straw or a soft place directly on the ground. Probably a good liniment wo.uld help take the soreness out of the effected parts. .Usually it takes more time and expense to treat a hen or chicken effected in this way as they seldom ever recover and unless they are valuable it does not pay to bother with them.

I have been reading your articles in The Atlanta Journal with a great deal of interest, especially what you say about chickens. I am sure you are doing a great deal of good. Now I am needing some advice as to what to do for a fine Rhode Island Red cockerel. He is now about six or seven months old, well developed, but I find he has a wen or tumor under and around his left wing which makes him carry* his wing raised up. I have opened it and let the wind out several times, but it does no good as it soon ap pears again. If the description I have given is not sufifeient please let me know and I will /make further descriptions. I was thinking that there might be a leak from the breathing tubes which causes the trouble. If you can give me any information I will greatly appreci ate it.. j. s. J. ANSWER. It would be best to use some an tiseptic on the effected parts of you® bird after each operation. By diluting Chlo-Naptholeum, one to twenty-five parts, and bathing these parts with it after it has been open ed and injecting some of it in the tumor it will eventually dry it up and the bird will probably recover. Repeat each treatment until he is well. Taft, on Window Sill, Talks Temperance as Friends Hold Coat Tail of the Y. M. C.

Dec. 22.—Francisco De La Barra, former provisional president of Mexico and now special envoy to Japan to ttyank her for participation in the The point of what I am going to write here is this: It is both helpful and profitable to extend credit to your neighbor, if you do it in an intelligent way. Ten years ago, Leonard G. Robin son became manager of an organiza tion which was the outgrowth of the establishment of the Baron de Hirsch fund to aid the Jews in America. That part of the york intended to assist the Jews in getting out of the cities and to the farms was organized und-r the name of the Jewish Agricul tural and industrial Aid society. This society’s work has been prin cipally to aid with loans the Jews who want to buy and use farms. But as long ago as 1907, it was seen by the manager that some sort of local co operative credit unions were needed. The first of these local unions (vol untary and strictly co-operative in character) commenced business in May, 1911. Three were organized in that year; five were formed in 1912, and nine in 1913—in all seventeen are in operation. They are intended to sup ply the temporary pressing needs of the members; and in the seventeen credit unions there are 517 members. Each of the unions raised a capital of $500 * by selling shares to their members; and w’hen that was done, the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid society advanced another $1,000. This was their capital—their loanable funds. In the time they have been operating (an average of thirteen months at the time of writing), loans totaling nearly $74,000 have been made to members; and the net profits have amounted to 13 1-4 per cent on the capital used. These credit groups range in mem bership from twenty-three to forty- six, and they are managed at practi cally no cost to the members (total ex penses of the oldest union amounted to only $138 for over two and a half years). The only loss suffered thus far, Mr. Robinson told me, was one of $24—and that resulted from the fail ure of a national bank in which the union kept its deposits! So, the neighborhood co-operative credit organization is perfectly sound —and profitable to its members. If you care to hear more about this Jewish plan, write to Mr. Robinson at 174 Second avenue, New' York City. rtORPhlNlE. ir — Draft Habk» treated □m BookMMbiecI )LLftY M-N.
