NEW YORK, May 12.—The cotton mar- 1
ket opened at a decline of 2 to 12 points |
under renewed realizing and local selling I
promoted by a more favorable weather
map than anticipated. The offering* were
comparatively light, however, and prices
soon rallied on favorable trade advices, both
from, Manchester and the domestic goods
markets, and reports of a more active spot
demand in the south. July contracts sold
np from 19.42 to 19.55 and October from
19.47 to 19.60 shortly after the call, or
about 1 to 4 points above yesterday’s close.
There was a little scattered southern sell
ing but a considerable trade demand was
reported, while there was also buying for
commission house and New Orleans account.
Private wires reported rains nt two or three
Texas points but t lie early outlook ap
peared to be for clearing weather in the
south except for cloudy conditions in east
Texas and Arkansas.
After seling up to 19.56 for July and 19.62
for October on the early bulge, the market
eased off again owing to expectations of
bearish domestic consumption, figures for
April and the western belt forecast for gen
erally fair weather, which was better than
expeceted bv local map readers. July sold
down to 19.36 and October to 19.40, or about'
15 to 20 points below yesterday's closing.
Continued reports of an increased spot
demand and prospects for bullish week-end
figures were followed by a covering move
ment early in the afternoon which sent Oc
tober 'up to 19.72. or 16 points net higher.
There was renewed realizing ta this figure,
however, and the advance was not fully
sustained with active months ruling about
7 to 8 points net higher shortly after 2
•'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. May 12.—Liquidation of
the long interest and much better wefMher
over the belt put the price of cotton lower
by 12 to 21 points in the first hour of the
session today. The market was steadied
at the decline by private messages to local
brokers estimating sales of print cloths in
Fall River this week at 250,000 pieces and
by Manchester cables reporting a large
business in cloths in tiiat lhe
spot sales in the Liverpool maEleyt of 15.000
bales, for the third dny in succession, also
caused much comment.
Liquidation continued until the trading
months were 22 to 24 points under the
dose of yesterday with July off to 18.95.
The whole character of the market' was
changed by the large mill takings for the
week, 208,000 bales, segainst 158,000 this
week last year, and in the trading up, to
11 o’clock prices were put 13 to 14 points
higher than yesterday’s finals, July bulging
to 19.32.
Realizing started again on tlie long side
and at 12:30 o'clock prices were 15 to 20
points off from the highest as the result
of the selling.

Cotton Market Opinions
Munds & Winslow: We believe trade fun
damentals are sufficiently strong to justify
purchases on setbacks practically regardless
of weather conditions.
Thomson & McKinnon: Should the weath
er improve during the next few’ days, a fur
ther setback will no doubt follow, but senti
ment continues bullisu and with favorable
statistical and trade factors any decline of
< consequence will be availed of as an in
vestment opportunity.
Bache & Co.: We see nothing in the mar
ket at the moment to justify active opera
tions on the bull side and would buy only
after a further substantial recession from
tlie present level.
Honsman & Co.: After the nlijjast con
tinual advance for nearly two weeks a re
cession from these levels would not be sur
prising but when such recessions docs come
the opportunity of purchasing cheaper cotton
should not be neglected.
Hirsch, Lilienthal & Co.: Technically the
market is improved and would recommend
purchases.
Hubbard Bros.: We do not anticipate
much further reaction hut on the other hand
fgel the market will do better.
, Weld & Co.: We continue to believe that
purchases on recessions will result in profit.
, Chapin & Co.: We would only suggest
purchases in October or December con
tracts in the event of renewed declines.

’ CHICAGO, May 12.—Trade in wheat was
' not so big as the day before. Interest was
again exhibited in the May, which started
higher on buying by bull leaders, but aft-r
prices were up over 1 cent they put some
wheat in the market and eased the situa
tion. At a cent below the previous close
there was buying by commission houses,
some of it by elevator interests. A steamer
unloaded 87,000 bushels of No. 2 red winter
wheat brought back from Buffalo, and hard
winter wheat was bought at Minneapolis,
St. Joseph, Mo.: Kansas City, Mo., and
Omaha to come to this market. Weather
over the winter wheat belt was favorable.
Domestic shipping demand for wheat was
light, but Minneapolis reported an advance
of 3 to 4 cents in premiums for low grades.
Flour trade was somewhat better. Seaboard
reported a good sized export business ! n
wheat working. Argentine shipments were
2,(XX),000 bushels heavier than last week,
hut Australia shipped 1,000,000 bushels less.
Wheat closed at % to %c lower; May
$1.44% to $1.45; July $1.25% to $1.26%;
September $1.19% to 1.19%.
There was little trade in corn. May acted
tight early, but liquidation set in shortly
before midday and the advances were wiped
out. In (lie deferred futures trade was
mostly in the way of changing at 2%c dif
ference. Locals were inclined to watch the
, trend in wheat while making their commit
ments. and governed themselves accord
ingly. Cash demand was checked by the
advance of the day before.
Corn closed % to %c lower; May 61%5;
July 64%@64%c: September (>6%@66%c.
Oats followed the trend of other grains.
Cash houses bought early and later-eastern
houses sold. Cash demand was not so good
as of late.

Georgia Will Produce
Watermelon for Every
Home in United States
United States department of agriculture. 1
Bureau of markets and crop estimates. Of-I
fice of agricultural statistician, Atlanta, Ga 1
A Watermelon for Every Home
Georgia Is growing this year 57,800 acres I
of watermelons t about 20.000 acres more !
than it grew' last year.
This means that, with an average yield. ]
Georgia will produce this season enough
commercial watermelons to put one in every
home in the United States, leaving enough
of the non-commercial kind to feed the hom? ,
folks, the hogs and the honey bees.
The increase is accounted for, says Z. R.
Pettet, Georgia statistician of the Unit/ d ]
States department of agriculture, not only by j
increased acreage in the old watermelon dis
tricts; but b a tremendous expansion of the
watermelon industry into new areas. For
merly the bulk of the watermelons were
grown in an irregular belt running from
Grady and Lowndes counties, on the Florida
line, to Jones and Baldwin, nearly in the
center of the state, with a much smaller
area in the southeast. This year the water
melon area covers practically all of the
state south and east of Atlanta. The excep
tion is a strip of about one tier of counties
along the Alabama line and a narrow strip
along the coast. The most intensive increase
in acreage is in the southwest district, hut
with the southern and eastern districts
crowding it closely.
The yield, however, will probably not
show so large an increase over last year s
does the acreage. Reports received ail
sections of the state indicate a condition of
only 79 per eent of normal. The condition
however, is much higher in the old heavy
producing districts. The southwestern dis
trict shows a condition of 90 per cent and
tlie eastern a condition of 85 per cent.
Everything considered, production will prob
ably be decidedly larger than last year,
though not as much larger as the acreage
would indicate. Still, the indications are
that finding markets will be something if a
problem.
Every other large producing watermelon
state in the southern district has increased
its acreage, though none so largely as Geor
gia. The United States department of agri
culture markes the following forecast of
acreage planted this year, with acreage har
vested last year:

off a nickel in most cases. Rough packing
hogs sold at $9.15@9.50.

Didn’t Lost All
Little Jackie was spending a holi
day in the country and was highly
entertained by everything he saw
in the barn and farmyard.
The old red hen’s cackle to an
nounce that she had laid an egg
was a never-failing source of de
light. He always wanted some one
to get the egg immediately.
One day he was allowed the privi
lege of going all by himself to fetch
the treasure.
In a few minutes he came run
ning back excitedly, but his eager
ness was too great. He tripped and
fell.
In a minute his hands and blouse
were smeared with yellow as he
clutched bits of broken shell.
But he came up smiling to his
mother.
“Oh, munimie,” he cried, as he
held up the fragments, “I had a
fall, but it’s al right, ’cause I didn't
lose anything only the juice!” —Chi-

He says the things that impressed
him most in our country were our
beautiful women, the wild night life
of New York, the early hour at
which people retire in Hollywood,

METHODISTS TO BALLOT
ON FIVE BISHOPS TUESDA V
Georgians Take Leading Part
Wednesday ip Warmest
Debate So Far —Change in
Name Favored
BY REV. HOMER THOMPSON
HOT SPRINGS, Ark., May 11.—
By a vote of 178 to 150 the general
conference of the Southern Meth
odist church refused Wednesday eve
ning to empower an unordained
pastor, in the absence of an elder,
to administer the sacrament of the
Lord’s Supper.
The committee on itineracy, to
which the memorial relative to the
amendment of the law had been pre
viously referred,# reported non-con
cuirence, but a minority report,
signed by Rev. W. P. King, from
the North Georgia conference, and
Dr. Charles R. Jenkins, of the South
Georgia delegation, and others was
also submitted to the conference for
consideration. A debate followed,
which immediately developed a soar
ing temperature and thunders of ap
peal followed flashes of eloquence
until far past the hour for adjourn
ment. Georgians were conspicuous
in the forensic fray. Rev. W. P.
King, Dr. Charles R. Jenkins, Dr.
Charles C. Jarrell, Dr. J. H. Eakes,
Judge W. A. Covington and Dr.
Bascom Anthony all speaking to the
motion, for or against. It is gen
erally believed that the measure
would have passed by a safe margin
except for the influence of the
bishops, practically all of whom are
said to have strenuously opposed it.
Change in Name Favored
The committee on revisals late
Wednesday evening voted to change
the name of the church from the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
to “The Methodist Church,” the re
port of the committee recommend
ing, however, that the new name not
be adopted until after the commis
sion on unification completes its
pending negotiations with the Meth
odist Episcopal church. Strong
pressure is being brought to pass
upon the conference by the western
and border delegates to change the
name in order to avoid the sectional
term “south,” declaring that it hin
ders the growth of the church in
various other sections.
True to prediction, the committee
on espicopacy in executive session
Wednesday afternoon recommendd
the election o at least five new
bishops and designated next Tuesday
as the day upon which to begin bal
loting. It is highly probable that
the conference will follow the rec
ommendation of its committee and
elect exactly five.
Another recommendation which
will cause a hard fight on the con
ference floor is the report of the
committee on revisals proposing that
the words in the apostle’s creed be
changed from “The Holy Catholic
church” to “The Church of God.” It
is claimed by the advocates for a
change in the creed that the
word Catholic church is often con
fused with the Roman Catholic
church and is, therefore, misleading.
Opponents of the change declare
that to substitute a word is to
mutilate the creed and place a
premium on ignorance. The final
disposition of the measure by the
conference is problematical.
I Greetings from Siberia
Rev. J. S. Ryang, of Seoul, Korea,
during the session Wednesday, pre
sented a gavel made from the wood
of a tree under which the first Si
berian annual conference was held
recently by the late Bishop Walter
R. Lambuth to the conference with
greetings from his people in Siberia
and the request that a resident
bishop be assigned them for the next
quadrennium.
Dr. Luke G. John, of Atlanta;
Rev. O. L. Kelley, of Lumpkin, and
Rev. W. T. Watkins, of. Tate, are
visitors to the conference.
FRATERNAL DELEGATES’
DAY AT CONFERENCE
HOT SPRINGS, Ark., May 11.—
(By the Associated Press). —This
was fraternal delegates’ day at the
nineteenth quadrennial conference
here of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and representatives
of several branches of Methodism
were scheduled to be received by the
conference.
This evening a greeting from the
northern branch of the church will
be given bj’ the Rev. David A.
Downey, of New York. Greetings
also are expected to be brought by
representatives of the Methodist
churches of England, Canada and
Japan. When the conference met
for its business session this morning
officials were hopeful that some of
the more important^-matters sched
uled to come up might be reached.
I However, the time limit has not yet
expired for the introduction of
bills, memorials and other measures,
and it was said ‘hat the press of
that character of business might
make today’s meeting another of
routine nature.
One of the more important matters
still ift committee, but which is ex-
I pected to be reported out, possibly
today, is that of unification with
the northern branch of the church.
Persons in touch with the delibera
tions say one of the principal ques
tions now at issue i -'’’yoen the
members is whether there shall be
appointed a joint commission on
unification together with a provision
for a joint convention of the two
bodies, or whether only a commis
sion should be named. There have
been intimations from individual
members that majority and minority
reports may be expected and if that
is done, the matter will be finally
threshed out on the conference floor.

EXGITEMENTENTERS
UIEI film’s NAME
NEW YORK. —“The trouble with
the modern girl is that she’s an ex
citement eater. So is her mother.”
That's the way Miss Dorothy
Spcare puts it. Miss Spc" ' • the
2 \ --old expert on her sex who
has published one su .ccssful book
and has just finished another.
She is literature's latest infant
pr — ; a : of feminine Scott
Fitzgerald. Her first novel, “Danc
ers in the Dark,” describes how the
1922 girl eats excitement.
“You'd think from the hullabaloo
that girls are going to the dogs,”
says Miss Speare. “That’s bosh.
There’s more harmlessness in it than
wick.Jness.
“Conventions are looser because
women are -confused and excited
over their new freedom. They’re
like children just let out of school.
“Girls in the ea aren’t as bad as
those in the middle west. Out there
more mothers are setting them an
example in smoking, drinking and
bridge playing. Mothers like that
are to blame.”
The term “flapper” is too elastic
to suit Misa Speare. She says a
flapper is any girl between 16 and 20
—but “ :itement eaters’'’ run all
the way from 20 to 40.
‘ Those between 30 and 40 are the
worst,” she says.
No, Miss Spare doesn’t smoke
and she doesn’t drink. And she
doesn’t approve of either for men
or women!
“I’m not bigot, though,” she says.
“If girls want to smoke that’s their
business. If men can. girls can.
Smoking is no sex privilege. Neither
is drinking, though I think drinking
makes a woman unwomanly.”
Miss Speare is a Newton (Mass.)
girl and a graduate of Smith college.
She is in New York studying to be
a singer. She divides her time be
tween the piano and the typewriter.
And though she isn’t married —she
says she’s too busy for that! —her
second novel, “Our Feverish Ways,”
which will come out next fall, tells
how to be happy though married!
Her recipe? It’s work!
