COTTON
NEW YORK, June 16.—The cotton mar
ket was irregular at the opening today.
Cables were better than due and, there was
some uncertainty regarding weather condi
tions in the eastern belt where the high
temperatures of yesterday were followed by
showers or electrical storms. Ou the other
hand improving crop reports were received
from Texas while it was anticipated that
the weekly report of the weather bureau
would make a very favorable showing, and
the opening was 2 points higher on July
but unchanged to 7 points lower on later
months. Liverpool was a buyer and there
was a renewal of yesterday’s covering
which sent the active months about 17 to
26 points higher after the call with July
selling at 38.12 and October at 35.16.
The demand from shorts became less active
later in the morning and prices sagged off
toward midday in anticipation of a favor
able weekly weather report. This proved
even better than looked for and i>rices broke
below last night’s closing figures during
the noon hour with July selling off to 37.85
and October to 34.85 or 5 to 10 points net
lower and about 27 to 33 points from the
high level of the morning.
Trading was quiet during the middle of
the afternoon, and fluctuations narrow, with
prices showing rallies of a few points on I
covering. October sold at 34.50 Con the
midday break and later ruled around 34.92 c,
compared with 34.90 c at the close yesterday,

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June 16.—Around the
opening today the cotton market lost 5 to 10
points, but it soon took on a firmer tone on
continued adverse comment regarding the
effect of high temperatures on K|je crop and
at the end of the first hour of-business it
stood 12 to 22 points over the close of yes
terday. July sold down to 37.85 and then re
acted to 38.02.
The weekly crop reports from the govern
ment were considered more favorable than
expected and by some traders were set down
as the most favorable thus far this season
but they led to only’ moderate selling. Late
in the morning the trading months were <
points down to 5 points up compared with
the final prices of yesterday.
Late in the session the market broke
sharply under expectations of another favor
able map tomorrow morning and comment
to the effect that, while the June condi
tion of the crop last year was under the
May figures, the revrs was likly this year.
The decline carried prices 30 to 40 points
under yesterday’s close, July touching
37.60 c.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
Hubbard Bros.: We may have a further '
recovery, despite the absence of any bull <
speculation. >
Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: The market 1
is now in a better position to respond to any 1
bullish news.
S. SI. Weld & Co.: If good weather con
tinues for a little longer prices are apt to .
decline and with it a fairly large short in
terest will probably accumulate. If this ’
should occur it may give an excellent oppor- .
tunity to buy. 1
S. B. Chapin & Co.: While the weather 1
conditions in tlie cotton belt are now seem- (
ingly almost perfect it would be well not
to take too much for granted from them, ,
ns to the extent of the improvment which ;
the crop is supposed to be making.
E. W. Wagner: We can see nothing to
change our views, vis: that any continued J
upward movement is not on the cards ex- '
cept on bad crop news.

Sprints After Man
She Finds in Flat
Mrs. Hazel Kaiser, twenty-five
years old, of 271 West One Hundred
and Nineteenth street, New York,
returned home from a shopping trip
recently to find the doorway lead
ing to her apartment jimmied open.
She walked into the dining room and
surprised a man in the act of piling
a quantity of silverware into a bur
lap bag. Startled by the boldness of
Mrs. Kaiser' the intruder ran to the
front window and out onto the fire
escape.
Mrs. Kaiser and the man reached
the street at the same time and he
ran east toward Seventh avenue, with
the woman a close second. He turned
north in Seventh avenue and ■was
stopped at One Hundred and Fif
teenth street by Detectives Gompers
and Walsh, of the West One Hundred
and Twenty-third street station, who
heard Mrs. Kaiser’s screams. At the
stationhouse, where the woman pre
ferred a charge of burglary against
him, the man described himself as
Antonio Dermocida, twenty-nine
ye <^F, s old ’ livin & at Mills hotel No. 3.
“I’ll say that you are some run
ner,’ the prisoner said to Mrs. Kaiser
as he was b&ing led to a cell. “You’re
all right.”

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, June 16.—Although there
was much talk about high temperatures in
the early part of the session today, the ,
market did not get very far with this as a
bpying feature because of tlie favorable tone
of the weekly crop acounts from the govern
ment. On the whole they were the best re
ports yet isued this season, indicating im
provement in all states and speaking of hot
weather and lack of rain as conducive to
crop progress. We do not believe a bull
movement at this time, based on high tem
peratures, can be considered to be well
founded.

MUNICIPALMABKET
FOR FARM PRODUCE
IS PUB HERE
Decision to open a municipal curb
market on Saturday, June 26, where
farmers and truck growers may dis
pose of their produce directly to the
consumer, was reached Wednesday
morning at a*conference in the office
of Mayor James L. Key. Mrs. Nor
man Sharp, chairman of the markets
committee of the Atlanta Woman's
club, and B. A. Hancock, of the state
bureau of markets, conferred with
the mayor on the subject.
It is contemplated to locate the
market at the junction of Courtland
and Gilmer strets, and to range the
wagons and carts hauling in the
produce down either side of those
streets and in front of the auditori
um. For the present only two days
a week —Tuesdays and Saturdays—
will be “market days.”
The market will be open from 8
o’clock in the morning until 2 in the
afternoon, and will be under the di
rection of a committee of citizens,
directly supervised by a special offi
cer of the police force. There will
be no charge assessed the farmers
for selling their produce at the
curb market.
An extensive publicity . campaign
will be waged, to encourage the
farmers to bring their produce to
market, and more than 500 women
of the city are already pledged, to
make their purchases there. The
farmers are assured of good prices
for their vegetables, and other prod
ucts, and will be given special loca
tions on the curb, which they will
be entitled to retain throughout the
summer. t

Johnston, and a prominent Macon
woman, was indicted by the Bibb
grand jury Tuesday on a charge of
: assault with intent to murder. It is
alleged that she threw lye in the
face of M. E. Outz, Jr., twelve
year-old son of a neighbor, and that
the boy was badly burned. She was
enraged because her grandson had
a fight with a boy who had been
playing with the other children, it
is charged.
Mrs. Johnston denies the charges,
declaring she never threw anything
on the Outz child and knows noth
ing whatever of the affair; which,
it is alleged, occurred on June 9,
last.
She gave bond.

Good Gram Crop
In Sumter Countty
AMERICUS, Ga., June 16. —Sumter
county farmers are now harvesting
what is perhaps the greatest grain
crop ever produced in this county.
It is estimated the yield of oats alone
will be approximately 275,000 bush
els, and every bushel of this grain
is already practically saved. Weather
conditions throughout the harvesting
season have been most propitious,
and already most of the grain has
been threshed out and stored in
barns.
On fields where this grain was
produced, thousands of hogs are al
ready fattening, and after they have
garnered the grain remaining there,
other crops will be put in by the
farmers.
Large Melon Crop
Forecast in Cook
ADEL. Ga., June 16.—The water
melon crop in Cook county bids fair
to yield a large revenue this sea
son. While the crop is a litle late
and not as good as usual, still the
increased acreage will mean at least
twice the number of cars to be ship
ped. A few growers in the county
will be able to ship between
June 25 and July 1, while the
bulk of the crop will begin mov
ing about July 10. The increased
acreage in Cook county and in the
immediate section of south Georgia
will cause a large number of buyers
to locate here.
If women ceased to gossip their
husbands would miss a iot of enter
taining information about their
neighbors.

Questions Answered
1. Question. What was the sugar
beet crop in 1919?
1. Answer. The total production of
sugar beets for the United States
for the year 1919, as estimated by
the bureau of crop estimates, was
6,421,478 tons.
2. Question. What does I. H. S.
mean; it appears on grave stones,
in churches et cetera?
2. Answer. The initials I. H. S. are
the initial letters of the Latin
phrase, “Jesus Homnium Salvator,”
which means “Jesus, the Savior of
Man.” This was originally written
in Greek and was the first three let
ters of the name Jesus, but its
origin was lost sight of through
substituting the S. for the Greek
sigma. Then by mistaking the Greek
H. (long e) for Latin H, a signi
fication was found for each letter.
3. Question. In speaking of several
persons is it wrong to say “those
kind of people?”
3. Answer. "Kind” is a collective
noun and takes a singular modifier.
“Those kind” should be “that kind;”
“these sort” should be "this sort."
4. Question. How many Irishmen
enlisted under the British flag dur
ing the world war?
4. Answer. According to the Irish
national bureau, a total of 275,592
Irishmen from Ireland served in the
British army and navy, which was
HARDING TO LAUNCH
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
' IN MIDDLE OF JULY
(Continued from Page 1)
very great pleasure and satisfaction
in conveying to you a very cordial :
message of felicitation and good
wishes.
“I know that we are both interested
in the same great good to our com
mon country, and I feel confident
that you will be very deeply interested
in bringing about a restoration of
a Republican party administration
in Washington and a return to the
constitutional methods of govern
ment which were the concept of the
founding fathers.”
Senator Harding received the fol
lowing letter today from former Sen
ator Thomas Taggart, of Indiana:
“I desire to take this opportunity
to congratulate you upon your nom
ination. It was certainly a great
victory for you. I remember with
much pleasure your many kindnesses
while in the senate, and I have said
repeatedly that if we had to have a
Republican president, that you would
be my first choice.”
* Senator Harding announced today
that he had a general discussion of
his campaign last night at a dinner
with a number of Republican lead
ers. They included Senators Lodge
of Massachusetts, Republican lead
er in the senate; Smoot, of Utah,
Brandegee, of Connecticut, and Fall
of New Mexico.
“We discussed the state of the
union, the prospects of the Repub
lican party and the platform which
we adopted at Chicago,” said Sena
tor Harding. ‘
Asked about reports that the
peace treaty and League of Nations
would be the principal topics dis
cussed in his speech of acceptance,
Senator Harding said he had “the
feeling that public sentiment makes
the paramount issue rather than the
judgment of any party candidate or
party manager.”
Replying to an Inquiry as to
whether he would take part in the
coming primary campaign in Ohio,
the nominee said he was "the far
thest removed from a politick.! boss
of anybody in the world.”
"That is the complaint that has
been made against me in Ohio,” he
added.
The senator said he knew noth
ing of any plans for the formation
of a third party and consequently
had nothing to say on the subject'
