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. 0 W. T. Williams. Savannah, Dec. 19, 1904. 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. To Captains, Masters, Mates and Sail ors.

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 tries*tog to be held.
