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.

Cotton opened rapidly during week and weather was unusually favorable for harvesting except for some interruptions by rain in more eastern dis tricts. Frost occurred in most northern lo calities but practically no damage resulted, although growth and further fruiting were stopped In localities, further improvement was reported in Oklahoma and the general condition of the crop in that state is now very good except on some bottom lands where weevil and boll worms have done much damage. Crop made very good ad vance in Texas and dry weather and ample sunshine were favorable in Arkansas. No material change in condition as reported in state east of Mississippi river, although there was some damage locally by heavy rains in Atlantic coast area. Picking lias been completed in many southern locali ties nnd is progressing rapidly in central portions of the belt. Texas—Progress of cotton mostly very good, with a poor to fairly good crop in dicated in many sections. Picking made satisfactory progress. Oklahoma—Pl-ogress of cotton satisfactory to excellent condition improved and gener ally very good except in some bottom lands where badly damaged by weevil and boll worms, picking progressing rapidly except in western portion where crop is late and opening slowly Georgia—Cotton still opening in northern division, where very late, but practically nil open elsewhere, picking advancing rap idly. Alnhama—t ottoi> picking progressing rap idly in south and central portions and prac tically finished ir, some sections, picking commencing in more northern counties, cold weather stopped fruiting and growth. Mississippi—Cotton mostly open, no top crop, picking completed in some southern localities. d Arkansas—Bolls maturing and opening rapidly, picking and ginning making very good progress but crops being marketed slowly. South Carolina—Condition of cotton atlll BUILDING ACTIVITY EXPECTED IN ME OF LOW PRICES 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.

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 After Thorough Trial a Detroit, Mich., Man Endorses Pe-ru-na The following letter written ‘PE-RU-NA has done wonders I from Detroit, Michigan is no snap and to me is worth its weight in judgment expressed on the merits gold I shall continue to use of Pe-ru-na. the well- .

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. WEST APPEARS™ LEAN TO HARDING AT PRESENT STAGE (Continued from Page 1) Oklahoma is doubtful and Missouri in shaky. Both may go Republican in the event of a landslide. On the other hand, the league issue may yet turn California from what 1 appears to be a 100,000 defeat for the Demo crats into a Democratic victory by a narrow margin. Only seventy-four electoral votes look sure for Cox ’ west of the Mis sissippi—Texas 20, Missouri 18, Ar kansas 9, Arizona 3, New Mexico 3, Nevada 3, Utah 4, Montana 4, Lou isiana 10. Oklahoma ought to add an other 10, but the month of October will tell the story there. But it will be seen that Governor Cox’s pros pective total is only slightly more than half of President Wilson's to tal west of the Mississippi in 1916. This means Governor Cox’s chance of election lies entirely in the states east of the Mississippi where New York’s 45 for instance would over come the loss of the west.

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- 484,143 British Animals Perished in Wai ' Fifteen per cent each year of all the animals in service with the Brit ish armies during the war were killed, according to statistics edm i piled by the veterinary section of ‘ the Itnperial War museum. i In comparison .with the human I casualties the .figures seem remark- ■ ably low.
