The covering movement of last week had considerably re duced the short interest and there was scat tering liquidation at tho opening owing to the weak cables, and decline in foreign ex change. South selling was also in evidence and after smarting at a decline of 20 to 36 points, active months soon sold 50 to 60 points below Saturday’s closing with' October touching 31.50 and December 30.15. Trading was only moderately active, however a,nd prices later showed slight rallies on re ports of further showers in the south. Apprehensions of less favorable crop re ports, as a result of the continued showers of rain seemed insufficient to bring in any fresh buying in the face of unsettling fea tures otherwise. On the other hand, rallies of a few points from the early low level met increased selling for Wall street and southern account with December declining to 30.10, or 66 points below Saturday’s clos ing. Other months showed similar losses and prices were within a few points of the lowest around 'midday. All but a few points of the earlier losses were recovered, with December selling up to 30.70 c on a rumor of a four-day armistice on the Polish front and the detailed weather reports stowing considerable rainfall in the south. The buying t: pered off as soon as the more urgent demand from shorts had been supplied, however, and most of the advance was lost with the midafternoon market ruling about 40 to 60 points net lower.

Heavy selling ap peared on the opening, in response to a poor Liverpool, and was continued after the call because of the weak stock market, the slump in foreign exchange and a bearish view of European politics. At the end of the" first hour of business prices were 55 to 63 points under the close of last wee October standing at 30.27 and March at 29.36. Liquidation of long contracts increased and short selling became more general, wio ening the decline to 68 to 75 points. Octo ber traded down to 30.15. Late in the morn ing the downward movement was checked by realizing of profits on short contracts and a reaction of 7 to 18 points from the lowest levels brought about. The rumor that the Russians had con sented to a truce of four days caiised a swift upturn and the most active ‘months got back to within 1 to 81 points of Sat urday’s final* prices, October reacting to 80.78. For a while the tone was very steady but gradually, under lack of con firmation of the' political rumors, the market sagged £gain and late in the day was to 55 points under Saturday's close.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.—The cotton market was governed almost wholly by po litical nows today, wide declines being made in the early trading on the unfavorable news regarding Poland, while later there were par tial recoveries on the rumo that Russia had agreed to a truce of four days. The weath er over the belt was extremely bad, rain being reported over the greater part of the bit, with th rainfall havy in many locali ties, but it had no effect on the trading. Worm and weevil damage seems to be in creasing. The market is technically very strong and any real Improvement In Euro pean conditions would mean wide advances.

Wheat Crop Estimated 795,000,000 Bushels WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Production of crops forecast today by the department of agriculture from their condition on August 1, kas as follows: Winter wheat, 533,000,000 bushels. Suring wheat, 795,000,000 bushels. AH wheat, 795,000,000 bushels. Corn, 3,003,000,000 bushels. Spring wheat will total 262,000,000 bush els and winter -wheat 533,000,000 bushels, it was estimated. The July forecast for winter wheat was 518,000,000 bushels and spring wheat 291,000,000 bushels. The 1914-18 average production of winter wheat is 563,000,000 bushels yearly; spring wheat 259,000,000 bushels and all wheat 822,000,000 bushels. It is estimated that wheat will yield 14.8 bushels per acre. The estimated yield for winter wheat is 15.6 bushels per acre and spring wheat 13.4 bushels. The average yield of the wheat crop Is 12,8 bushels per acre. The average yield of the winter crop is 14.7 bushels and the spring crop 9 bushels. The condition of spring wheat August 1 was 73.4 per cent of normal as compared with 88 per cent July 1. There Is now 53,652,000 acres planted in wheat, or 73. 3per cent of the 1919 acreage; of this 19,487,000 acres arep lanted In spring wheat. Corn—Estimated production August 1. 3,003,000,(XX) bushels, as compared with a forecast of 2,779,000,000 bushels on July 1, and 2,760,000,000 bushels average production for tlie 1914-18 period. The condition of the corn crop on August 1 was 86.7 per cent of normal as compared with 84.6 per cent on July 1 and 77.3 per cent for a ten-year average. It is estimated corn will yield 29 bush els per acre as compared with 26.1 bushels for a ten-year average. Commodity Prices Show More General Decline Readjustment of wholesale commodity prices to a generally lower level continues quite pronounced, there being 58 recessions tliis week in the quotations received by Dun’s Review, as against 22 advances. The reac tionary tendency in tW' grain markets re mains a prominent feature, almost uniformly favorable crop reports, and liberal receipts, being reflected early in more or less conces sions in wheat, corn, oats, and barley; but renewed demand subsequently lead to sub stantial gains in all cereals, eeept wheat and oats. Changes in live meats and pro visions were relatively slight, but aside from beef, the prevailing tone in almost all products was firmer, and the trend, as a whole, was upward. With many consumers away from the city on vacations, together with fairly large receipts, some reaction de veloped in butter ana eggs, but cheese ac quired increased firmness, in response to a slightly better domestic demand and some improvement in export inquiry. Some further upward revisions have occurred in the iron and steel markets,"and quotations on prac tically all the miscellaieous metals remain very cose to last week’s level. Erratic fluctuations in the raw materials, and con flicting reports regarding conditions in mer chandising channels, continue'to cause an uncertain feeling in cotton goods, but addi tional declines in quotations have been announced. The situation in hides and leather remains easy, while rubber Is still weak, with a further recession in certain grades. A somewhat more confident tone, however, seems to be developing in raw silk. Georgia Tobacco Yield Worth 245 an Acre AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug. 9.—General Manager D. F. Kirkland, of the Geor gia and Florida railway, in a state ment reviewing tobacco culture along his line, says that the average yield in Georgia this year has been worth $245 per acre.

Questions and Answers 1. Q. —Do snakes charm birds? 1. A.—The bureau of biological sur vey states that snakes do not charm birds in the understood sense of the word "charm.” The instinctive fear that a bird or small animals, such as a rabbit, has for a snake paralyzes the muscles of the bird or animal and prevents its escaping from the snake. 2. Q, —What causes earthquakes? 2. A.—The origin of earthquakes has been traced to two principal causes, the first of which is tectonic, and the second, volcanic.

Their confidence was not dimin ished, though their risibilities were aroused, by the publication in the Atlanta Constitution Sunday of of fers of bets at 3 to 1 that Governor Dorsey wil carry Fulton. No such bets have been offered, and nons will be made, according to Senator Smith’s local leaders. As an evidence of this fact, at tention was called to of a well-known business mem who has sought to find any 3 to 1 money on Governor Dorsey winning in Fulton, Unable to find the unnamed person to whom reference was made by the Constitution, the Atlantian has of fered a reward of SIOO to the author of the Constitution’s story if he will produce any person who will wager that Governor Dorsey will carry the county at odds of 3 to 1. The Smith leaders in Fulton gath er their confidence from two out standing and very apparent facts: 1. The great number of men who have never before voted for Hoke Smith who have come forward with voluntary assurances of support in the senatorial campaign. 2. The great number of Atlantians who were opposed to the senator in the recent presidential primary who have indicated a purpose to vote for him on September 8. These assurances come from all classes of prominent citizens, and most of them are predicated upon appreciation of Senator Smith’s con struction Work In the senate and the recognition of ability and experience at Washington in the critical times confronting the country. The Way to Beat Watson Not a few assurances have come from persons who are anxious to de feat Mr. Watson, and who under stand that a vote for Governor Dorsey, which otherwise they might give him for personal reasons, can but result in helping Mr. Watson. Their faith In the Democratic party and their desire to preserve it in Georgia transcends their personal riendship to the governor. Although Senator Smith’s close friends and political helpers at head quarters have been aware for weeks of the time he had given to helping and advising wounded soldiers, no effort had been made to capitalize his activity along this line. The sen actor was contend that his deeds would speak for themselves among the di rect beneficiaries of his work, and he has never made any attempt to influence their political predilections. The voluntary and unsolicited ex pression of the ex-service men of their appreciation of the senator's service in their behalf and in the behalf of their comrades has, how ever, made a profoundly favorable impression throughout the state, and the senator's campaign headquarters already has received many letters telegrams and words of personal congratulations upon his work In be half of vocational training and ade quate Tiompensation for victims of the world war. Rev. Sam W. Small’s letter to a friend, urging the re-election of Sen ator Smith, was widely read and has aroused much comment. Dr. Small is well-known throughout the state. His contributions to the editorial page of the Atlanta Constitution are one of its brightest and best known features. Dr. Small, as pointed out, spends most of his time in Washington and resides In Virginia, almost under the shadow of the national capital. He has followed the work of congress for many years and has watched with in terest the activity of Senator Smith. “Having watched at close range the career of Senator Smith in the senate,” he writes, "I am strongly of the belief that th© Democrats of Georgia will do themselves a very signal dis-service if, at this critical juncture of national affairs, they are misled into defeating Senator Smith for re-election,” It is evident from the response that Dr. Small’s letter has provoked that the people generally agree with him that, "his value to the people of Georgia as a senator Is greater today than Georgia has had in that body since the death of Ben Hill.” to marry, since family disputes might follow. 5. Q. —Who was called the Scourge of God? 5. A.—This was a name given to Attila, king of the Huns, who was the terror of Europe in the fifth cen tury. 6. Q. —Has any one ever succeeded in swimming the English channel? 6. A. —Captain Matthew Webb in 1875 succeeded in swimming from Dover to Calais in 21 hours and 45 minutes. On September 5 and 6, 1911, Thomas William Burgess, an Englishman resident in Paris, swam from South Foreland, England, to Le Chatelet, France. The time was 24 hours and 35 minutes. 7. Q. —What was the millionaire bankers’ air special? 7. A.—Recently an airplane made the trip from New York to South ampton, Long Island, carrying as its passengers ten well-known New York bankers. It was dubbed the millionaire bankers’ air special. 8. Q.—How fast should the pulse beat? 8. A. —The pulse gradually slows down through life. A newborn in fant has a pulse of 130 to 140 beats per minute. An adult’s pulse ranges from 70 to 75 in health, while in old age the rate is from 60 to 75. 9. Q- —Is the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the "Star Spangled Banner,” still in existence? 9. A.—The flag which was flying over Fort McHenry on September 13, 1814, and which inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Span gled Banner” is now in the old Na tional museum at Washington, D. C. 10. Q. —Hasn’t some millionaire had a very small racing car built called ‘the flying peanut?" 10. A.—You have in mind Robert Breese, the millionaire sportsman, of Long Island, N. Y. The car, equipped with an airplane motor, is capable of a speed of 100 miles an hour, although it is only seven feet long. Due to its small size and the fact that it is built very low, it can take the sharpest corners at the highest rate of speed. ACCEPTANCE SPEECH OF OHIO GOVERNOR IS WARMLY RECEIVED (Continued, from Page 1) vance and take the White House in November.” Senator Robinson’s remarks drew trequent cheers and applause. They were prolonged when he declared Gov ernor Cox’s nomination was not won by "midnight combinations nor plu tocratic cabals," but by untrammeled judgment of the San Francisco con vention. Mr. Robinson appeared to be heard plainly in the most distant parts of the grounds through aid of tlie sound amplifying device installed. Cheers came from district through under trees and from those across the race tracks oval. ‘‘That’s the Stuff" Long cheering greeted Senator Rob inson’s denunciation of Republican senators for their ‘nagging” attacks on President Wilson and the sena tors charge that they had blocked peace. "That’s tl/e stuff,” was shouted at the senator as he whacked the Repub licans. When Senator Robinson declared that the treaty of Versailles "must be ratified” to secure peace another wave of applause burst forth. More cheers followed his opposition to “a reactionary” president. The crowd laughed and cheered when he pre dicted Governor Cox would carry the fight to the Republicans and not have a front porch campaign. Governor Cox was given an ova tion when Senator Robinson conclud ed at 4:40. The ampitheater crowd rose and cheered for nearly a min ute, with throngs standing in the race concourse joining. The gover nor read his address with clear, sharp enunciation. The first cheer of his ad dress was given his declaration that he took up the Democratic standard “a free man." Laughter and applause greeted his statement that this was "no time for wobbling,” but fpr straight, talking and acting. * Is Cheered Again Governor Cox’s praise of the clarity of the Democratic platform brought another cheer and his flagellation of Republican senators for their treaty course received frequent expressions of approval. Direct references to Senator Hard ing and charges that the Republican candidate, Senator Johnsen, of Cal ifornia, and other Republican leaders were committed in opposition to the League of Nations were applauded at several points as was the gover nor’s abhorrence of a separate peace with Germany. Extra approval was given the statement that a separate peace would ostracize both the Unted States and Germany and the follow ing statement that it would be "bungling diplomacy” and "unadul terated dishonesty, as well.” When the governor reached the climax of his league policy, declar ing he favored going into the league, while Senator Harding wished to stay out, the crcwd rose in an ovation. The goverror emphasized his pledge with vigorous gestures and paused as he shouted his challenge of principle. The crowd waved hats and flags for abouc a mirute. More cheers followed the candi date’s statement the first duty of the new administration—and, he interpollated that It would be a Democratic administration—would be to obtain ratification of the treaty. He declared his faith in the voters this fall remedying a situation which permitted a “bigoted minority” to ex ercise arbitrary power to enforce drastic conditions in dealing with the treaty in the senate. A burst of applause came when he declared in favor of heavily reducing federal taxes and predicted it would be done “at once” if a Democratic administration is chosen. Manv of the crowd rose and cheer ed when the governor declared that, if elected, means will be found to control profiteers, if necessary by re course to criminal law. He asserted that large contributions to Republi can campaign funds were “for no other puipose except to buy a gov ernmental underhold, and to make illegal profits as the result of pref erence.” Without mentioning specifically the prohibition amendment the gov ernor said that any one who was false to bis oath is more unworthy tnan tbe law violator himself. Girl Shoots Best Friend Who Wore Prettier Costume LEXINGTON, Ky., July 29.—Miss Goldie Sturgill, twenty, is about to be tried for the attempted murder of a woman friend whose “boughten" costumes aroused her jealousy. The girl has spent her life in and near her father’s cabin in the Pine mountains, which encroaches on the town of Whitesburg. Her lifelong friend, recently a bride, was Mrs. Alice Hammock, also twenty years old. The Sturgill girl visited the Ham mock home, across the state bounda ry line in Wise county, West Vir ginia. Mrs. Hammock agreed to 1 spend several days with the Stur gills. In preparing for the journey, which was to be on foot, she packed with some ostentation the three store-purchased gowns, the pair of mill-knit stockings and the shoes which her newly acquired husband had lavished upon her.. Miss Sturgill watched the piecing together of the bundle baggage. Her own wearing apparel always had been handmade. The girls started across the moun tain trail together. Late that night Goldie Sturgill reached her home alone. She carried a bundle of re splendent clothing. The next day Wilson Creech rode into Whitesburg. He said that Mrs. Hammo ck haxi stumbled into his cabin a few miles from the Sturgill place. He said Mrs. Hammock prob ably would die from bullet wounds through the head and body. The authorities who questioned the injured woman were told that Goldie Sturgill had drawn a weapon sud denly on a lonely spot in the road and had shot five times at Mrs. Ham mock. "She took my store clothes,” the bride charged. The stolen costumes were found in the Sturgill home. 70,000 Pounds of Tobacco Is Sold LYONS, Ga., Aug. 7.—Seventy thousand pounds of tobacco were sold on the Lyons tobacco market yesterday at an average of forty.
