off to 27.33 jor 12 points below

the selling tapered off at these
figures and when some of the

afternoon which quickly Bent up
to 28.34 for May and 25.43 for Oc

NEW ORLEANS — Poor cables,

ble for a decline of 2 to 10 points
around the opening of the cotton
market Friday, claims of a good

at the end of the first half hour
of the session prices were four to
16 points over the close of yester
day. March fell off to 27.76 cents
a pound and then rose to 27.95.
For awhile selling became
heavy again, and the market was
depressed to levels 6 to 12 points
under the close of yesterday but
claims that the short Interest was
large and prospects that the visi
ble supply of American cotton
would shrink below the three mil
lion mark in the weekly statistics
resulted in another upturn which
carried March late in the morn
ing up to 28.19 where the list
showed gains over yesterday's fi
nal quotations of 23 to 33 points.
In tho afternoon the market
made fruther advances following
the posting of the weekly statis

for the week ut 229,000 bales
against 177,000 this week last year
and the total visible supply of
American cotton at 2,955,009 hales

Under the caption of "Men of
Affairs of Augusta" the Augusta
Herald carried this week a story
of Howard M. Holden, young son
of Judge and Mrs. H. M. Holden,
of Athens. The story Is as follows:
HOWARD M. HOLDEN
Young, aggressive, and enter
prising, Howard M. Holden has at
the age of 27. established himself
as owner of a thriving Fold agen
cy, which Is growing by leaps and
bounds as the automobile gains In
popularity. (Mr. Holden has been
in Augusta but 18 months, yet dur
ing that time has placed his busi
ness on such a substantial footing
that It is recognised as one of the
largest and most thriving concerns
in Augusta.
The Howard Holden Motor Com
pany owns a large plant on the
500 block of Brodd street, where
In addition to the large show
rooms where Fords are exhibited,
an up-to-date garage Is operated.
The garage handles authorized
Ford parts, and Is a fully author
ized member of the big Ford
chain.
The show rooms and large dis
play windows are attractive with
the various displays of Ford cars
and Fordson Tractors. His ability
as a salesman and an automobile
man is evidenced by the constant
ly Increasing business enjoyed by
the Howard Holden Motor Com
pany.
Mr. Holden was born in Craw-
fordvllle Georgia on July 3, 1896.

aside starched linen und beds and
