COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—The cotton uyirket
opened at a decline of 8 to 25 points today
and sold about 30 to 40 points net lower
after the call as a result of easier Liverpool
cables and overnight selling orders. De
cember sold off to 21.27 c and January to
20.85 c, but there was a good demand, with
Wall street and trade interests among the
buyers, and the market soon rallied, selling
some 5 to 10 points net higher within the
first half/hour. The early selling was en- )
coo raged by good weather in the south and |
unfavorable goods trade reports, but a more (
cheerful view of commodity values seems
to have developed in some quarters and there
was talk of a firmer spot basis in the
south.
Offerings were light after the early sell
ing orders had been absorbed and active
months sold from 30 to 50 points above lasi
night’s closing before noon with December
touching 22.05 and January 21.62. New
Orleans was a big buyer here,, believed to
be on the narrowing of the difference be
tween the two markets, and the advance
was accompanied by reports of a better spot
demand to fill out October engagements
Trading was quiet around midday and there
were reactions of several points from the
best, but the favorable weekly report of
the weather bureau failed to promote much
selling and the market showed a generally
steady undertone.
The failure of the favorable weekly
weather report to bring in more selling
prompted a renewal of bull support and
the market showed increased strength dur
ing the afternoon, selling up to 22.40 c for
December and 21.80 c for January, or 61 to
S 3 points net higher. Reports of smaller
spot offerings in the eastern belt and the
continued absence of southern selling were
factors of the advance.

A renewal of building activities of
all kinds, to be followed by one of
the biggest building seasons in his
tory next year, was predicted by At
lanta dealers Tuesday, on the heels ofi
the announcement that cement has
dropped $2.50 a barrel.
This drop, they declared, was in
dicative of a general decline in the
price of building materials. Brick
and lumber, they said, are drifting
slowly but su,rely back to normal
Price levels, and other materials are
certain to show a similar fall in the
near future.
The drop in prices was attributed
to a number of factors The recent
cessation of building activities, be
cause of the high prices, helped 'to
bring them down, said dealers, just
as the refusal of the public for a
time to buy clothing and other
articles brought these prices down.
The drop in the price of coal, the
improved handling of traffic by the
railroads, fewer strikes and less
“strike talk,’’ the tendency of labor
to “stick to the job,” all have con
tributed to bring about a more nor
mal condition in building as in other
lines of trade, dealers asserted.

ANTI-SUFFRAGE
FIGHT LOST IN
DISTRICT COURT
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—The Dis
trict of Columbia court of appeals
Monday granted the government's
motion for dismissal of a suit
brought by suffrage opponents to
test the validity of the nineteenth
amendment.
The suit which sought to restrain
Secretary of State Colby from issu
ing a proclamation of the suffrage
amendment was dismissed on the
grounds that the action sought tQ
be halted already had been taken.
Attorneys for Charles S. Fairchild,
who brought the suit said they would
at once appeal to the United States
supreme court.
Bradstreet’s Report
Cites Short Crop
And Holding Move
Little activity in the wholesale
trade is reported by J. E. C. Pedder,
Atlanta correspondent for Brad
street’s, in the bulletin just issued,
covering the operations of the past
week in the territory of which this
e’*y is the center. Manufacturing is
also quiet and in some instances
salesmen have been withdrawn from
the road, says the report.
Retail trade continues about the
same, although conservative buying is
in evidence, while collection's are
slow and the money market is ex
tremely tight, the bulletin asserts..
A short cqtton crop and a tendency
on the part’ of the farmers to hold
their product, placing it in bonde®
warehouses, is also noted by Mr. Red
der, who declares that the warehouse
receipts are being used as collateral
for loans, which has its effect on
the money market.

SENATOR SMITH
ADVISES FARMERS
TO HOLD COTTON
It would be a mistake, declared
Senator Hoke Smith Wednesday, for
farmers to sell cotton at the present
price for tbe purpose of paying
debts. Instead <?/ sensing nt «, sacri
fice below the wist of production,
his advice to farmers is to store
their cotton in warehouses, arrange
bank loans to be secured by ware
house receipts, and use these loans
to pay their debts, so that the
money will continue in circulation.
Senator Smith was invited to at
tend the conference of Atlanta bank
ers and business men to be held Fri
day afternoon in the Chamber of
Commerce assembly hall for the pur
pose of taking steps to ‘-meet the
alarming crisis caused by the drop
in the cotton market. He is whole
heartedly In sympathy with the
meeting and would have been glad
to be present, had it not been for
a previous engagement to attend the
wedding of his former secretary In
Columbus on Friday. He will prob
ably send to the conference, how
ever a written memorandum of his
said the senator Wed
nesday, “has always sold too cheap,
as the result of a tradition of cheap
labor brought over from slavery.
Twenty-five cents a pound would
have been a fair price for cotton
prior to the war. Such a price now,
under prevailing costs of production,
would be ruinous to the farmer. Ex
haustive investigations which I
conducted and presented to the sen
ate, prior to the wlir, showed that
the then prevailing prices yielded a
family of five a net incopie on their
year’s labor of onlv $350. No other
labor 4n the world has toiled so
cheaply, unde’- such impoverishment,
as the southern farmer and his wife
and children.’
The Atlanta conference y'—day Is
called hv Cha'rman P. F. McLeod,
of the finance committee of the
American Cotton association He is
a prominent Charleston business
man, with a farm,of his? owp, w r h.p
has taken an active interest in the
association since it was launched
Similar conferences have been held
with the bankers and business men
of Richmond, Va.. and Columbia,
S. C. Others will be held in the
principal cities of the belt. Chair
man McLeod. Governor Manning, of
South Carolina, and other prominent
southern leaders will make brief
addresses at the conference. Robert
F. Maddox, president of# the Atlanta
National Bank and a former presi
dent of the American Bankers asso
ciation, will be asked to speak. His
address at the Georgia cotton mass
meeting, held last week in the state
capitol. sounded just the note which
the American Cotton association is
emphasizing in all of its propagan
da among the cotton growers.
Harvie Jordan, secretary of the
ascc-’''“'on, called attention Wednes
day to the reports of gin house
burnings in various parts of the
south.
“We are- striving,” said he, “to
prevent a radical propaganda from
getting headway among the farmers
We; do not want them to sacrifice
themselves by selling their cotton
on the present market. Neither do
we want them to sacrifice their
creditors by refusing to have their
cotton ginned. We want them to
gin and store their cotton, borrow
enough money to pay their supply
bills, and hold their cotton for a
favorable market.”
SENATOR SMITH SPEAKS
, AT CALHOUN SATURDAY
Senator Hoke Smith has accepted
an invitation to speak at the Gor
don county fair next Saturday, and
among other things will discuss the
cotton situation, urging co-operation
between the farmers and business
men to the end that no cotton be
sold at present prices.
During the next several weeks
Senator Smith will make a number
of speeches over Georgia in response
to invitations, and in everyone he
intends to urge the farmers not «to
sacrifice their cotton at present
prices below production costs.
“It is of the utmost importance to
the permanent prosperity of the cot
ton-growing states,” he said Wednes
day, “that the price of cotton be
sustained at the present time, and
all should co-operate to keep it erf

HARDING LEAVES
ON LONG TOUR
OF THE WEST
MARION, 0., Oct. 6.—With his
departure from Marion today for the
middlewest, Senator Harding begins
a speech-making swing that will
keep him away from home almost
continuously until late October.
The present trip will take him
through Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Ne
braska. Missouri and Oklahoma,
and he will not return here
Monday. Late on the following day
he will leave for a trip through Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois
and Missouri and then after three
days rest will go east. _
The first set on the mid-western
circuit is to be made at Des Moines,
lowa, at a forenoon meeting tomor
row. Tomorrow night he is to
speak at Omaha, Neb., the follow
ing day at St. Joseph and Kansas
City, Mo., and Saturday night at
Oklahoma City, Okla. It is expect
ed that in addition he w-ill make
numerous short talks from the rear
platform of his car.
Although no speech is scheduled,
the nominee’s speciaj train will stop
for four hours late * today at Chica
go and he will go down town for
dinner and to consult with political
leaders at the national committee’s
headquarters.

Oklahoma is doubtful and Missouri
in shaky. Both may go Republican

other hand, the league issue may yet

be seen that Governor Cox’s pros
pective total is only slightly more
than half of President Wilson's to

This means Governor Cox’s chance
of election lies entirely in the states

WESTERNERS CO-OPERATE
IN HOLDING MOVEMENT
Co-operation of southern farmers
in holding their cotton until the de
mand creates a better priee is as
sured by reason of an exchange of
telegrams between the Dallas Cotton
Exchange, of Dallas, Tex., and the
Atlanta Commercial Exchange Tues
day.
In the original telegram from the
Dallas exchange, it is explained that
a great percentage of Texas potton
is for export to Europe, and since
conditions there are in such chaotic
condition, American marketmen are
urable properly to judge them. The
Pallas exchange urges that every ef
fort be made to have all southern
cotton growers hold their crops off
th<- market. ,
In replying, the Atlanta exchange
agrees with Lie Texas bureau, that
to glut the market at this time,
when the demand is very slight,
would be a serious error, and prom
ises that southern farmers will not
make large sales.
. “It is mere/y a matter which re
quires each farmer’s individual re
sponsibility, to sit tight, ard hold
cotton until the market price assures
them a fair urofit,” said Secretary
Calvin Tichenor, of the Atlanta ex-
