SWELL FUND MATERIALLY BY
THEIR INTENSIVE HOUSE-TO
HOUSE CANVASS OF THE CITY
WORK NOT YE* COMPLETED.
ATLANTA, April 29.—Final tabu¬
lation will find the subscriptions se¬
cured by the students of Georgia Tech
in their intensive canvass of Atlanta
will reach above $100,000, it is be
, lieved by leaders of the local cam¬
paign to raise Atlanta’s $1,500,000
share of the $5,000,000 fund for a
greater Tech.
Subscriptions to the fund, from
all the workers who have been de¬
voting their time and energy to the
drive fot the past two weeks, now
total practically $700,000", which is
the greatest amount ever secured in
any campaign in the city.
The workers have not yet stopped.
The initial subscriptions committee;
under the general chairmanship of
Thomas H. Daniel, still has a formid¬
able list of large industrial concerns
and commercial houses which have
promised to subscribe to the fund,
but which must await meetings of
their directors to name their exact
contributions. This is also true in the
case of many foreign corporations
with branches in Atlanta.
The city-wide workers, who raised
$400,000 in one week, are working on
a “clean-up” of their assigned terri¬
tories. These men, composing twenty
teams, led by Robert Gregg and Al¬
bert S. Adams, believe that there are
still a great many contributions to
the fund which are available for the
asking, since the response which
greeted them showed, that all Atlan¬
ta is solidly behirfd the institution.
The state-wide campaign, which
has not the detracting force which
opera might have brought to bear on
the Atlanta campaign, proceeds sat¬
isfactorily, according to Victor Allen
state chairman, who says that the
city, town or community of the State
which will not subscribe its complete
quota to the fund has yet to ba
found.

: NEW YORK COTTON :

(ROSE & SON’S LETTER)
The Liverpool market today was
due 2 to 3 down. It opened 10 to 18
down; closed 2 points higher than .the
opening. New York opened about 2
to 3 down, sold off 5 points right af¬
ter the opening, then worked back to
about the opening level and stayed
there in a range of three or four!
points dipped nearly all morning. In the last
hour, again, but recovered in
the last few minutes and closed at
12.64 for July, 13.27 for October and
13.72 for December.
The Bank of England has reduced
Its discount rate to 6 1-2 per cent. It
has been standing at 7 per cent since
last August. Probably there will be
a further reduction when they get the
coal strike out of the way. The main
thing standing in the way of general
business improvement at the present
time is the question of German repa
rations. That issue is now squarely
up to the Germans and, if they have
any sense at all, they will settle.
In the meantime there are still com¬
plaints that retail prices are not com¬
ing down in proportion with'the de¬
clines in wholesale prices; but we
think it may be taken for granted
that if they are due to come down
further they will surely do so. Re
tailers will not be any more able to
hold prices at an artificial level than
the wholesalers were. The process of
adjusting to normal conditions may
be painful ,but it will take place nev
ertheless.
The cotton market has held around
present prices for several weeks, in
the face of conditions that might have
been expected to bring a still lower
market; we therefore believe that any
favorable circumstances may be ex¬
pected to cause an advance perhaps
out of proportion to the importance of
the happenings. We believe that a
settlement of the German issue would
be almost immediately followed ’ by
the announcement that terms had
been arranged to .ship a considerable
supply of cotton to that country. The
Germans are in a working humor and
anxious to dp business. Their manu¬
facturing competition is alrfeady being
felt and is complained of in many
quarters. They are said to be sell¬
ing pneumatic tools in Detroit, when

SATURDAY MORNING APRIL JOlti, at 10 O’CLOCK
such goods were fori lerly made in
Detroit and sold in G<
erous articles, such as safety razors,
metal pencils, etc., now on the mar
ket at much cheaper prices than those
of home manufacture have been sell¬
ing, are said to be from Germany.
And if the Germans get hold of a cou
pie of million bales- of cotton there
will be some cheap cotton goods com¬
ing on . the market.
There is a good deal of underlying
bullish sentiment developing in the
cotton market and if there should be
unusual activity in export shipments
in the next few weeks, accompanied
by general conviction that recent
acreage estimates are approximately
correct, and a continuance of more or
less unfavorable growing weather,
the combination of those circumstan¬
ces might cause a very considerable
advance in cotton. On the other hand
the market seems to be able to with¬
stand pressure and unfavorable cir¬
cumstances remarkably well. It is an
old saying in the market that when
prices won't s*o down on unfavorable
news, favorable news will have more
than normal effect.
