eral buying entered the cotton mar
ket today and in the first half hour
of the session it lifted price* 32 to 34
points to 27.80 a pound for December.
Cables were better than due, the
scattered showers over Texas were
regarded unfavorably and uneasi
ness was ielt concerning the storm

ed gains of 40 to 43 points. At noon

Cotton Market Opinions
Munds & Winslow: We are of the opinion
that the reaction has gone far enough and
that the future course of the market will
be determined by tlie small crop situation
rather than by such influences as trade cur
tailment.
Hicks <& Williams: We continue to feel
that the market is in a trading position and
believe advantages should be taken of all
Strong spots to take profits on long cotton
with the view of buying back on breaks.
A. A. Housma-n & Co.: The market, has
been characterized more by dullness than
by anything else, and for the prescut it
looks like a svaiprtig affair, pending develop
ments.
B. F. Hutton A Co.: It. Is still a trading
market. Sell on the etrouk spots, but don’t
be too greedy.
Stephen M. Weld .4 Co.: While "e do not
recommend folol«ii:g the current advance
we are inclined to belie'e that the market
t» a purchase on good setbacks.
Hubbard Bros.: We expect n higher mar
ket in the not distant future, as informa
ttlon from the south from reliable people
would indicate that the crop is not turning
■out to obe as big as the government coudi

THE ATLANTA TKi-WEEKLY JOLHNAL
GRAIN
BY GEORGE C. SCHNACKEL
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
( CHICAGO. Oct. 11.—Wheat had a rcnc-
i tionary tendency today. The market de
veloped au overbought condition as the re
sult of yesterday’s operations and there was
insufficient buying power to absorb the
realizing sales. Locals bid up prices at
the start, but when they noticed the lack
of cooperation on this side they lost cour
age and liquidated. The foreign news was
bearish, especially that relating to the
threatened collapse of Germany’s finances
and the move to restrict buying of wheat
so tar as possible ia the British Empire
by English merchants owing to the tariff
barrier erected by the United States against
their manufactured goods. The export de
mand was better with sales of 750,060
bushels of Manitobas reported h> the Greeks.
Cancellations of 100,000 bushels United
States wheat were reported by seaboard
exporters. The recent advances in puces
has checked marketing of wheat bv the
farmer as refleeted in the reduced primary
movement. Board of railroad commissioners
of Canada cut freight rates from the west
to the Pacific coast 19 per cent.
Corn made new high ' jeords early but
reacted iu the later trading. No. 2 yellow
corn sold up to $1.14, tne highest price
since September, 1920, but after this price
was established there was •« decided set
back because all industries pullei out cf
the market. The country sold 200,600 bush
els of corn to local buyers over night erd
this satisfied the urgent demand for the
time being. Shipping dem.ird was light.
Oats followed the trend of other grains.
Shipping demand was moderate.
A dull trade and little selling oy longs
caused a lower price trend for provisions.

NEW YORK. Oct. 11.—More favorable

cables brought in further trade buying nad
that combined with rather heavy short
covering for over the holiday forced prices
up 123 points over Tuesday’s low. At this
point, however, rather heavy realizing and
hedge selling appeared and with the tech
nical ’position considerably eased the mar
ket worked off somewhat. After the very
heavy price-fixing of the past two days
the market for the moment looks almost
high enough and although sentiment has
changed considerably to the constructive
side of the market it would appear advisable
for the time being to exercise a little cau

COSOIIEII SHIELDS
MOTIVE l» TRIPLE
VIRGIN SNOOTING
DANVILE. Va., Oct. 11.—In th-i
lines of a message which Coroner
J. E. Taylor said “would never be
made public” was believed to lay
hidden today the motive in the un
explained killing of William O
Williams, Danville business man,
and the Serious wounding of Mrs
Williams by Ben C. Coleman, mem
ber of a widely known Virginia
family, who later committed suicide.
The message was taken from Cole
man’s pocket a few minutes after
the triple shooting here last night
in a private residence where all
three made their home.
Williams and his wife, who police
officials say was wounded in at
tempting to shield her husband,
were said by witnesses to have been
shot down without warning by Cole
man when he met them leaving the
dining room. Coleman, whose wife
was not in the house at that time,
then walked upstairs, locked him
self in his room and took his own
life.
Coleman, who was state autcimo
bile license inspector, was 38 yehrs
of age, and Williams a year older.
Mrs. Williams’ recovery was *a!d
today to be doubtful.
While the purport of the Cole
man note hhs been made knowni to
the police by H. C. McMakin, who
read it, the last four lines have
not been revealed and apparently
never will be. This was said to be
in different handwriting to that of
Williams.
Mrs. Williams passed a good*
night and doctors now believe that
instead of having two bullet wounds
one ball entered and emerged from
her body’. Services for Williams will
be held this evening at Epiphany
church, of which he was a vestry
man. The body will be taken to Han
over courthouse for burial tomor
row. Coleman will be buried here
this afternoon.

two cn.ne to packers direct. Present prices

top, small lots of these going at SS.2O. Few
hogs were unsold at "the elose.

Horde of Pole Cats
Storms Virginia Town;
Citizens Are m Panic
WINCHESTER. Va.. Oct. 10.—
Business has almost been blocked at
Stephen City, a thriving Frederick
county town, eight miles south of
here, by the appearance Sunday of
a horde of skunks, or pole cals.
Where they came from in such large
numbers no one seems to know. And
how to get rid of them is a prob
lem that is harrassing the town
council, the police force, the county
board of health and school trustees.
The presence of the pests has dis
rupted business, and it is feared
schools will have to be closed up.
No less than sixty of the animals
have been killed, but they seem to
be so numerous, especially in the
suburbs, that the attempted exter
mination has had little effect upon
their numbers.

COMT WAS SENT
TO PRISON FARM
“The prison commission had de
cided to send Major Lee H. Coart
ito the stare prison farm to serve
| his life sentence for the murder ol
jA. B. McNiece, former superin
tendent of the Talbot county
schools, before a move was made by
either side in the case,” Judge E. L.
Rainey, of the commission, asserted
I Thursday’. Judge Rainey and
chairman R. E. Davison returned
from an inspection trip to the state
farm Tuesday night.
A delegation called at the com
mission efflees Monday asking that
Major Coart be assigned to the Tal
bot county chaingang, while an
other delegation also appeared ask
ing that he he removed frpm Talbot
county.
“Coart was assigned to the farm
on October 5, and all parties con
cerned were so notified,” Judge
Rainey said. “The assignment was
made for the good of the peniten
tiary, Talbot county, and the pris
oner himself.
“Talbot county has no white con
victs and it is not prepared to take
care of and work only one white
prisoner as the law and rules of the
prison commissione would require.
“Long confinement in jail and his
occupation and manner of living all
of his life before his conviction un
fits him for duty on the roads. It
■would be inhuman to require it of
him when he first begins service,
and. too, there is much bitterness
I in Talbot county growing out of the
i trial of Coart; the people are divided
! and it would aggravate the strife
for him to remain there. It would
be better to remove him elsewhere
and give the old wounds an oppor
tunity to heal.
“The prison commission Is always
willing and glad to hear from the
people, individually or collectively,
at any time on any subject con
nected with the work and welfare
of the department, and if any citi
zen or delegation of citizens of Tal
bot county desire to confer with the
commission on this or any other
subject they can do so at the next
meeting of the board during the
week beginning with the first Mon
day in November. However, having
already mkde their decision and noti
fied those concerned, the whole mat
ter is considered by them as prac
tically a closed incident.”
Jones Perryman, member of the
legislature from Talbot county and
one of Coart's attorneys, gave out
a statement in Atlanta Wednesday
declaring that the people of Talbot
county resent the declaration by the
prison commission that Coart’s life
might be endangered through his
assignment to the Talbot county
gang. He said the people only de
sired that Coart be allowed to
“work” out his sentence and not be
assigned to the prison farm as a
“drone.”

WASHINGTON BEGINS
IOIG-EDEO TRADE
TREATY REVISIONS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to Tile Journal.)
(Copyright. 1923.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The
United States government has em
barked upon a policy of treaty-mak
ing with the various nations of Eu
rope which, while without political
importance, will have an important
bearing on the future trade and com
merce of America.
Practically all of the commercial
treaties with Europe were written
decades ago when conditions under
which trade was conducted differed
materially from those under which
business is carried on today. The
introduction of numerous problems
by the great war, together with
the fact that the map of Europe
has been practically re-arranged and
that countries are in existence now
which were previously under another
domination, make it necessary to
have new commercial agreements.
The announcement that a new
commercial treaty is being negoti
ated with Germany must be taken in
connection with previous declara
tions about the new treaty being
negotiated with Spain. Already
there are plans also for new com
mercial agreements with the coun
tries which formerly made up the
Austro-Hungarian empire.
The insistence of the American
government on a new treaty with
Spain really grew out of the fact'
that Spain had made new treaties
with France and Great Britain giv
ing them commercial advantages
which the United States did not
possess except under the favored na
tion clause idea.
Tfie situation with respect to a
commercial treaty with Germany
unique. The United States carried
on its commercial relations with
Germany until the European war
under a treaty originally negotiate!
in 1799, certain provisions of which
were revived in another treaty of
1828. Most of the provisions were
obsolete and some of them were ren
dered null and void by the actions
of Germany in the war.
Although tne treaty itself was not
to be affected by the outbreak of
war between the two countries, the
United States look the position that
Germany had disregarded some ol
the provisions of it even before
America and Germany went to war,
particularly with respect to destruc
tion of American merchant ships by
submarines. The treaty was finally
denounced and no substitute has
been drafted since.

Passage of Soldier
Bonus Act Predicted
By Senator Harris
GAINESVILLE. Ga.. Oct. 12.—A
prediction that the soldiers’ bonus
bill will be passed by congress, to
gether with a pledge of unswerving
support of the measure, was made
here Wednesday by Senator William
J. Harris in an address at the court
house. A large crowd of White coun
ty citizens was present. The Geor
gia senator, in speaking on the bonus
question, told of his recent tour of
the battlefields of France and declar
ed that some means must be found
for preventing future wars. He did
not, however, commit himself to any
definite plan for obtaining arbitra
tion of disputes between nations.
The senator’s address here was one
of a series he is making on a tour
which will carry him into every coun
ty of the state during the congres
sional recess. He made a simple,
straightforward statement of his ac
tions in the senate, and at the con
clusion of his speech was given a
rising vote of indorsement by his
hearers.
■ Col| C. H. Edwards, a prominent
attorney of Cleveland, who served in
the Georgia legislature with Senator
Harris in 1911 and 1912, introduced
him. In his opening remarks, the sen
ator paid high troibute to Congres--
man Bell, saying that the Ninth dis
trict should be proud of having so in
fluential and capable a representative
at Washington.
BERLIN.—As French and Bel
gian governments have declined to
respond to German offer to nego
tiate on question of restoring of
normal conditions in Ruhr, German
representatives at Paris and Brus
sels have been instructed to renew
proposal.
