KICKED ON THE HIGH PRICE
EXPORTERS DROP bFIOiTmARKET QUOT/UIONS
having Filled Pressing Orders for Cotton Shipments, Exporters Shy Away
From Market Expecting to See a Decline.
AVith hundreds of cotton hales pour
ing into Americus warehouses yes
terday, and prosperity and high prices
in full swing here, there came a
sudden change with the announcement
that exporters had “dropped out” at
the present range of values.
They wanted no more cotton at 13(4
cents, or even at 13 cents, and put
their limits down to 12% cents, and
12% cents here instead.
And this created consternation in
cotton circles.
The exisiting boom in prices col
lapsed, and a painful stillness pervad
ed the hitherto busy marts. Under
12 cents the farmers were out of it,
and as the exporters would not long
er pay that figure, there was but
little'doing here.
It was a game of>‘freeze” that could
not last long.
It is the opinion that exporters,
having filled pressing orders for im
mediate shipment abroad, are going

before surrendering. They think it
will pay to wait.
They dq not want cotton at 13(4

can get it for 12% cents, and prob

There was little change in the fu

as a basis of value prices here should
have been 13(4 cents. Later in the
day, when exporters found their little
bluff didn't go a little bit. they put
limits up again.
But the business portion of the day
had passed by that and while
cotton receipts were heavy, sales in
comparison were light and trade suf

LUSITANIA AND THE LUCANIA RACING
Sister Ships of Cunard Line Start
This Morning in Record-Break
ing Race Erom Queenstown
to New York.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—With the
wild cheers of assembled thousands
ringing out over the waters, what
promises to be the most exciting
steamship race ever held was core
menced this afternoon between the 4
Lusitania, the biggest ship in the
world, which is making its maiden
voyage across the Atlantic, and the
Lucahia, holder of the record between
Queenstown and Sandy Hook. Under
command of Captain James C. Barr
the Lucania sailed early this after
noon.
Shortly afterward the new turbine
giant, Lusitania, set forth under the
command of Captain J. B. Watt. The
great leviathan of the sea, beside
which the largest of other steamships
in the trans- Atlantic trade seem
small, carried the fullest possible quo
ta of passengers, and the Cunard com
pany refused hundreds of applications
from people who are anxious to cross
on the Lusitania’s first voyage.
The Luistania will proceed under
easy steam to Queelistown in order to
give the Lucania time to embark her
passengers and get away. The Lusita
nia will leave Queenstown at 10
o'clock Sunday morning. Then will
commence the great contest of speed
from Daunt’s Rock to Sandy Hook.
The Lucania will travel at its top
most speed from the coast of Ireland
to Sandy Hook lightship, a distance of (
2,800 miles. Each of the ships will
burn at least 1,000 tons of coal a day.
The coal lor one trip would last 400
ordinary housholders fifty years.
Among the passengers on the two
vessels are many American million- -
aires, and during the trip vast sums <
will undoubtedly be wagered on the
result. Both contesting vessels are ,
Cunard liners, and the race was arran
ged as a test of the superiority of the
new vessel.
On her trial trip the Lusitania, over
a 1,000 mile course, did 25 1-2 knots
for an average hourly speed. The
Lucania has made the fastest trip
ever recorded between Queenstown
and New York—s days, 7 hours and
23 minutes —which record she ac
complished in 1894, when Horatio Mc-
Kay commanded her.
The Lusitania and her sister ship
the Mauretania, now being fitted out
on the Tyne, were constructed with
a view to their use as commerce des
troyers of fast transports in case of
war -with a maritime power, With that
object in view the British government
advanced the Cunard company a loan
of 2,600,000 pounds at 2 3-4 per cent.,
and also promised a yearly subsidy of
150.000 pounds. It was stipulated
that the speed should be at least
24 1-2 knots.
If the promises made by the build
ers of the Lusitania are fulfilled, it
will mark the final supremacy of
British over German shipbuilders.
