SHARP RECOVERY
IN COTTON VALUES
Prices in Americus Spot
Market Higher
Liverpool recovered from her hy
steria of the day before and cotton
values there made a substantial rec
overy yesterday. Money grew much
easier at New York during the after
noon, dropping from 50 in the morn
ing to 8 in the late afternoon. This
was followed by a sharp upshoot in
the cotton contract markets which
carried values forward until a good
slice of the recent losses were re
trieved. With the improvement in
the money market little doubt as to
the improvement in the cotton market
would see to exist. Towards the close
there was something of a scramble
of shorts to cover and this was
enough to lift the market out of the
morass of the past few days.
New York opened 7 to 10 points up
on the cable news, and struggled to
get a little higher but with only mod
erate success. Prices at one time
were a point or two below the open
ing. Improved conditions in the call
money rate quickly produced a more
bouyant feeling in the cotton market
and in the last hour values advanced
several point s .The close was steady
19 to 26 points net higher for the
session, the nearer months leading.
Spots were marked up 10 points.
New Orleans opened 1 point lower
to 1 point higher, havir/ Tuesday re
covered a part of the losses of the day.
The market experienced small chan
ges for a time but later turned per
manently upward. The close was
steady 25 to 26 points above the
close for Tuesday for the active posi
tions. Spot quotations were advanced
l-16c.
Liverpool spot prices were quoted
6 points higher with sales of 10,000
bales at the advance. The futures
market closed steady 8 to 12 points
net- higher, the October-November op
tion being at the top.
The total receipts at ports were
35,000 bales, of which New Orleans
got 10,270 and Savannah 9,704.

Prices in the local spot market
were on the jump yesterday. In the

(LARK A CO.’S COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, October 30.—The news
from abroad was very encouraging in
deed. After a steady decline of several
weeks we find sellers taking profits
with new short commitments not in
evidence today. The trade in general
is quite mixed and every day since
January broke 10 cents. The selling
has been conspicious by its absence.

Corsets at sl.
Some people appear to believe that
we lose money on every pair of Nadia
Corsets we sell. On the contrary,
there’s a fair profit—not large, of
course, for prabably no other cor
sets have ever been sold at so little
over actual worth of material and
work. They are made for us by the
best corsetiers in this country, and
come direct to this store. It doesn’t
cost the maker a penny to place them
on the market, nor can any one dic
tate our retail prices.
At sl, worth $1.50, of Coutil or
Baiste. Three models—one for young
girls or slender women; one high
bust model for long waisted fig
ures; one for the average figure, deep
„hip style. All are trimmed with lace
and have hose supporters.
NOTE—If you cannot come we will
send corsets for your inspection. We
want every woman to know that these
are the very best popular priced cor-
cline has gone far enough and dis
counts the stringency in the banking
world. The market today was only a
scalping affair and held fairly well
above last night’s quotations with a
little easiness manifested when the
New Orleans estimate came out. It
now begins to look that our Southern
friends are beginning to feel the tight
money as we are receiving numerous
messages, especially from Texas, that
indicate that the banks are beginning
to close in on their customers. New
Orleans was a heavy buyer here dur
ing the entire session, but the local
bears let them have all they wanted
around 10 cents. The market will
have to absorb some heavy liquida
tion on every hard spot now and we
are inclined to think that outside sup
port will not come to the rescue. Spots
are being offered today on last night
quotations but the buyers seem to
be holding aloof.

BURST OF NEW
INDUSTRIES
COLUMBUS, GA., October 30.
(Special)—The Georgia and Alabama
Industrial Index says in its issue of
this week:
“With twenty-one new corporations
having a total minimum capital
stock of $1,645,000 in Georgia and
Alabama during the week ending to
day, these figures, representing only
a portion of definitely planned invest
ments announced within that period,
it is evident that these two states,
prosperous in the midst of the sunny
gleam of gold, have felt no touch of a
blasting breath of frozen finance. The
prosperity of the two states' is found
ed upon substantial values that are
constantly increasing. Their vast and
varied resources invite developing
capital because of the certainty cif sat
isfactory profit. Their mills and fac
tories are running on full time, and in
very many instances are being oper
ated over-time that orders may be
filled. The establishment of new man
ufacturing plants, the unceasing
growth of cities and towns and the
developing of farm, suburban, mineral
and timber lands continue steadily.
Just because the devil is always
portrayed as a man, some women look
with suspicion on every male person
they meet. —Washington Post.

ACCUSES MORGAN
OF STARTING PANIC
Scheme oF Rich Men to
Get Richer.
SAVANNAH, GA., October 30.
(Special)—ln an interview on his re
turn from New York, where he was
during the past few days, Mr. Julian
Schley, a prominent insurance man,
stated yesterday that he believed that
the recent financial crisis had been
started by Morgan and his lieuten
ants.
Mr. Schley said:
“It is my belief that Mr. Morgan
and those big fellows who came to the
rescue as it were, stirred up the trou
ble, sent values crashing downward
and then prepared to scoop the batter
ed securities in. While they stood on
the front steps and said: ‘Don’t be
afraid I am here to protect you,’ plans
for making millionaires billionaires,
were in the course of making in the
back of the office.
“It all looked to me like a big
scheme for the rich men to make a lot
of money, and I think they will make
a killing before the flurry is
ended.
Seriously, however, I believe this
trouble will have a wholesome effect.
A house-cleaning is needed about ev
ery seven years. One was needed and
it was held. It was a fight between
the big men. The suffering of the lit
tle ones, the common people, was one
of the eeffcts.”
WRIGHT D. M’KAY IS
DEAD AT HIS HOME
Relatives in Americus were ap

ther of Messrs. Robert and Dan Mc-
Kay and only brother of Miss Joe
McKay, of this city. These were noti
fied the evening previous of his sud
den and critical illness and reached

came. Mr. McKay was about 55 years
of age and a sterling citizen of hi 3
town and county, possessing the es
teem and high regard of his fellow
citizens. Several sons and daughters
survive him, together with others near
and dear. The funeral services will
be held at his home this morning at
10:30 o’clock. /
