WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Holds Steadier—Analysts ot
the Sttnntion Leads to the Relict
That Prices are Too Low.
Although there was fair interest in
the cotton market during the past
week, fluctuations in prices were nar
row', and the close shows scarcely any
change from the figures of the week
before.
'this steadiness in the market, fol
lowing the recent period of demoraliza
tion, leads to the belief that the de
cline has run its course. A month or
so ago cotton was around 10c and
the trade calculated on a crop of 'abdut
11,250,000 bales, certainly a drop of 2c
to 2%c fully discounts all possible; con
sequences of a crop of Say LDOO.OOO
bales more. In fact, I am convinced
the bearish crop figures have been
more than discounted, and that cotton
is now abnormally low, and should
have a material reaction.
In the first place, we are by no means
certain of a commercial crop of as
much as 12,000,000 bales. Granting that
such a crop has been grown, the move
ment to date does not argue that as
much as that will he marketed. Pres
ent prices are not tempting enough.
Secondly, even if the crop exceeds
12,000,000, an increase of that kind
ought not, the first year, to result in
a drop to current prices. At 7% to
8c very much more cotton will be used
than at 10c or above. The world was
aghast a year ago because we had
grown, presumably, only about 10,500,-
000 bales, actually about 10,000,000. It
meant actual cotton famine, and the
most ridiculous theories were exploited
as to the why in the matter. Insects,
deterioration of seed, exhaustion of
land, all W’ere cited as causing the re
duced production of cotton. All of a
sudden, because we now appear to have
a crop 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 bales more
than a famine crop, the price is cut
in half, and the cry is “still lower!”
In all reason, is not this preposterous?
Thirdly, supposing that we do carry
over a surplus of 1,000.000 or 2,000.000
bales next season, which, as we have
seen, is as yet merely a vague possi
bility, that is no reason w'hy cotton
now- should sell below Sc, if it should
at ail. We know nothing yet about
the next crop, but have two strong
presumptions: First, that the acreage
will be smaller, and next, that the
boll weevil will still be with us. We
made the present crop only on a very
iarge acreage, and with exceptionally
-favorable weather conditions, with a
reduced acreage, increase of weevil and
less ftivorable season—the first two
reasonably assured, and the last at
least probable—we can have no kind
of assurance that next year's crop will
be much, if (any, over 10,000,000 bales.
In the face of these legitimate supposi
tions, why should not the trade this
year be able easily to take care of
any possible surplus at the end of the
season at a fair price?
As soon as the trade settles down to
normal conditions, I am convinced that
it will be recognized that prices have
been unduly depressed, and a material
reaction wjll result. For that reason
I am now' In favor of buying cotton
on all favorable markets, and consider
the risk as small as it ever gets to
be.
The leading New York bear circular
writer, also noted for his lightning
changes, has been recently issuing
characteristic literature. I think the
above remarks demonstrate the fal
laciousness of his argument, and I
venture the prediction that he will be
a rampant bull in less than thirty
days He is now only trying to make
a soft spot to buy on and cover shorts.

Manchester Cloth Market.
Manchester, England, Dec. 18.—The
market for cotton goods was rather
more active last week, resulting from
the slightly Improved turnover, al
though greatly below recent figures.
Several merchants would place orders
if moderately early delivery were ob
tainable. Occasionally, where sellers
were willing to meet buyers, business
was transacted both for India and
China for delivery next midsummer.
There was more inquiry from some
parts, South America occasionally lead
ing. There were moderate sales of
standard articles. The inquiry for
yarns wins mostly American. The de
mand for eons was limited and busi
ness was small and unimportant.

ATLANTA’S* RIFLiFrANGE.
Association Similar to Savannah
Hlffa Association Controls It.
Atlanta, Dec. 18.—The Atlanta Rifle
Association is rapidly getting in trim
for hard work ■ next season. The
Range Committee has found a safe and
suitable site that can be used for 200
to 1,000 yards, and is now engaged in
negotiations for the purpose of secur
ing control of it. This site is within
less than two miles of the city, limits
and only a short distance from the car
line.
The association at present numbers
forty-three members. Assistant Adju
tant General A. J. Scott is acting as
president, having been chosen for that
office temporarily, permanent organiz
ation not having been contemplated be
fore the beginning of the year. The
meeting, at which alt final steps look
ing to permanent organization will be
taken, will be held on Jan. 12, 1905. and
at that time officers will be chosen for
the year. It is generally believed
■Caiit. W. T. B. Wilson of the Gov
ernor’s Horse Guard will he chosen
president, it being the desire of the
members to place at the head of the
association one who-'ls well identified
in Atlanta, as well as an ardent and
enthusiastic riflemen.
The dues of the ?a%soclation are $5
a year;; the Initiation fee sl, charge
able to all except charter members.
Any military company desiring to use
the range will be permitted to do so
upon payment of $59 for the entire
shooting season—May to September.
It is provided in the by-laws that there
shall be at least two contests dur
ing ,the season, one in the early part
of it and another at the close, and be
sides these as many more as the Ex
ecutive Committee may see fit to ar
range for.
One of the scheme® which the as
sociation has on foot 1s to get the War
Department interested in its proposed
range and have it used by the sol
diers at Fort McPherson, who now go
to Waco, Ga., a distance of about forty
miles, for rifle practice. There has al
ready been some tentative correspond
ence along this line, and It Is believed
a satisfactory arrangement can be
made.
The association also has In view
bringing to Atlanta not only state, but
Interstate, and even internattonal, rifle
contests. These and many other
dreams of the future are now under
discussion, ahd the military men of
Atlanta are enthusiastic over the out
look.
NEWTON COUNTY FARMERS
ORGANIZE FOR HIGHER PRICES
Will Hold Their Cotton Three
Months Unless 10 Cents Reached
Before Then.
Covington, Ga., Dec. 18.—Several
hundred Newton county farmers, met
yesterday to take action in reference
to holding the remainder of the cot
ton crop for better prices.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, there has been In our
judgment an unwarranted reduction jn
the price of cotton and below the
cost of production; and, whereas, we
feel that we are entitled to a fair
and legitimate price for our crop.
Resolved, that we agree to hold the
remainder of our crop until such time ,
as we can obtain a fair price for
same.
That we request the farmers of
every county in the state as well as
In all the cotton producing states to
Join us in this resolve, to hold similar
meetings, pass similar resolutions, and
notify Hon. Harvle Jordan, of Mon
tlcello, and ascertain If i>osslble how
many bales of cotton can be held in
each county.
That we agree to act in concert
with other cotton producing sections
in the reduction of acreage for an
other year to the extent of one-quar
ter of the present crop, fully believ
ing that by such reduction we can
obtain 15 cents per pound for the crop
of 1905 as well as for what is carried
over from the present year, Whereas
If we raise 12,000,000 bales, the price
may go as low as 4 cents per pound.
That we earnestly invite the co
operation of the banks and merchants
in this undertaking, realizing aa we do
that our prosperity Is theirs also.
That In order to carry Into effect
this resolution we perfect a permanent
organization, by electing a president,
vice president, a secretary and treas
urer. That the chairman appoint a
committee of three in each militia dis
trict to visit and induce th farmers
of the county to Join us In this work,
and ascertain how many bales of cot
ton they bsv and agree to hold eame
for a period of three months, unless
the price of 16 cents can he obtained
prior to the expiration of that lime.
If 10 cents cannot he obtained at
that time, to only sell one-fourth of
their huidiog* each month, and not
rush all Iktii cotton on the roaikM
at one nine, and that said uainilttme
repot < the result of their labors to a
