Tri-Weekly Market Reports
j COTTON |
NEW YORK. Dec. 10. —The cotton
ijftirket showed renewed weakness
during today’s early trading, owing
to continued liquidation preparation
for the government's crop report on
Wednesday and weak Diverpool ca
bles. The opening was barely steady
at a decline of 17 to 48 points under
southern and local commission
bouse selling. The decline uncov
ered stop orders, but the initial of-,
ferings were fairly well absorbed by
covering or trade buying and there
were rallies of several points right
after the call. Liquidation continued
heavy, however, and the market was
very unsettled with January ruling
around 32.78 and May 33.38, or about
100 to 102 points net lower on the
active months at the end -e first
hour.
There were rallies of 20 or 30
points on covering, but they met a
renewal of liquidation and the mar
ket broke again around midday, sell
ing back to 32.78 c for January,
while March made a new low, sell
ing at 33.15 c, with the general list
showing net declines of 100 to 105
points early in the noon hour. Pri
vate advices from the south said
there was no pressure of spot offer
ings and that the basis was steadier,
but they attracted little attention'
and the market appeared to be dom
inated by liquidation for over the |
government crop report is
scheduled for publication on Wed
nesday. Two more private crop es
timates were issued, one placing
the' yield at 9,959,000 bales, while
the other figured it at 9.789,000.
Offerings tapered off sharply after
the midday break and in the early
afternoon the market rallied on cov
ering by reports of increased activ
ity- in some of the New England cot
ton mills. January sold up to 33.20
and May to 33.80 around 2 o’clock
or 40, to 45 points tip from the low
est and withir 50 or 60 points of Sat
urday's closing quotations.
After a rally of about 40 points,
due to trade buying, the market
turned weak again in the afternoon
undtr hedge selling and renewed liq
uidation. closing at the bottom and
68 to 14S points below Saturday,
with January at 32.50 c and March
32.90 c. * |

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 10.—
Declines of 60 to 70 points were made
by the cotton market in the first half
hour of trading today, in sympathy
with a weak Liverpool and an up
ward revision of crop ideas in prepa
ration for tlie annual crop estima
tion by the government which is due
Wednesday. A local estimation of
9,959,000 bales as the total crop
caused considerable selling. Januaiy
fell to 33.15 cents a pound.
Selling increased as the session
progressed and it was generally con
sidered that large lines of long con
tracts were coming out. Cablegrams
from Liverpool, stating that the de
cline had driven Manchester out of
the spot market produced an unfav
orable impression. Late in the morn
ing January was off to 32.58 with tli»
list showing declines under last
week’s close of 116 to 119 points.
A much steadier feeling prevailed
in the afternoon, and prices rallied
40 to 45 points on covering by the
short interest. At 1:30 o'clock Jan
uary was at 32.80, with the list 20
to 25 points up from the lowest.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—Trade in wheat, was
exceedingly slow today. There was a little •
<lepression it, Jirices at the start. Local i
Sentiment was bearish and there was just
enough commission house selling to eueour- ;
age short sales. Eastern houses absorbed
the .surplus ami thereafter shorts were ti.v- .
ing to get their wheat back and they were j
compelled to bid up prices to do so. There •
was little in the news to encourage Hading. •
i There was a little buying on a report that .
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace estimated ,
I 90.000.000 bushels of wheat fed or. farms, i
Export trade was slow and therq was a re- ;
port of Italy reselling some small lots, i
Toledo reported 363.000 bushels of Canadian I
wheat receive dhere. Milling demand for i
wheat was quiet. St. Louis reported some I
sales of flour for German relief purposes ,
the past few days.
I Wheat dosed nndianged to higher; I
| December. $1.03%; May, $1.09%® 1.09% ;
I July. $1.07%.
I Corn followed the trend of wheat. Locals
were inclined to be bullish because receipts
failed to run as heavy as expected. The
bulge brought out some selling based on the
heavy hog receipts today and the heavy rim
expected tomorrow. Cash corn started one
cent lower anti there was some recovery
later when industries re-entered the mar
ket and competed with shippers for the
offers. Consignment notices show an in-

Profit-Maker ;
k i <
The rising- tide of farm desertion I ,
is threatening to sweep 25,000 Geor- i :
gia farm families before it within the > I
next 45 days. ; 1
This staten|ent, characterized as |
conservative by its author, F. H. : ;
Abbott, secretary of the Georgia as- j 1
sociation, was before a loca’l com-j .
mittee which met Saturday to plan | j
for checking the abandonment of j
farms through the furtherance of a !
diversification -of - agriculture pro- 1
gram.
A plea to “stick to the farm for I J
another year’’ was issued following | (
the meeting, and is being broadcast ■ .
to farmers in all sections of the ,
state. :
Three plans to aid the farmer in (
his difficulties have been drawn up •
by the Georgia association, with
which county and local organizations
are co-operating. They are:
1. A definite long lease plan, car i
rying an option to purchase.
2. A definite land buying plan
giyingvthe purchaser 15 years time
in which to complete payments.
3. A co-operative cow-buying plan. I
for use where local banks are not
able to provide all the financing.
Those at Meeting
The committee which met with
Mr. Abbot Saturday is composed of
yi. Lane Young, president of the ;
Atlanta Clearing House association; ,
H. G. Hastings, chairman of the ag- |
rieultural burea-u of the Atlanta ;
Chamber of Commerce, and Clarence I
L. Williamson, secretary of the At- j
lanta Association of Credit Men. al. ;
of which organizations have joined ■
in a movement to raise $15,000 for !
the advancement of the Georgia, as- !
sociation's “cow-hog-hen” program, 1
The committee heard from the lips I.
of a man who has watched the di- '
versification plan developed in Tur i
ner county the story of what it had |
done for that section. The man was
C. H. Bishop, general manager of
the Ashburn Distributing company
of Ashburn, Ga., who addressed the
credit men’s association at its ban
quet here Thursday night on the
same subject.
Mr. Bishop cited facts and figures I
bearing out the claims of the Geor !
gia association that the program is I
a practicable one.
“I know it is workable.” he de- '
d.ared, “‘because T have seen it work
Tt unites the best and most forward
i thinking men of the country. It
heightens the morale of the citizens
It joins the banker, business mar
and farmer with a constructive pro
gram. Tn the dairying industry j
alone, every month has shown at •
increase in customers, and in money
paid out. over the ■ corresponding
month in 1922, by the Ashburn
creamery.
Farms Paying Profits
“A loan company representative, I
who has 150 loans out in the county, i
( has informed me that in every in
stance the farmer who is pursuing
the ‘cow-hog-hen’ plan is paying his
taxes and his interest, putting in
permanent pasture and getting on a i
profitable basis.

most daily, seeking to enter agricul
ture on the cow-hog-hen' basis’, and
we have not lost a single farmer
who has adopted the program.”
Mr. Bishop went on to cite fig
ures showing that the Ashburn
creamery, during 11 months of 1923,
had paid out $225,000 to Turner
county and neighboring farmers tor
cream alone, and that as an evidence
ol the increased prosperity of the
section, eight new creameries’ had ( I
been established within a 100-mile
tadius of Ashburn during the past [
year. Go-operative marketing, he i
said, had saved thousands of dollars'!
tor Turrier county farmers the past !
year. $90,000 worth of products hav
ing been bought and sold through ;
the local association.
The diversification method also
serves to popularize the State Col- I
lege of Agriculture, the county |
agents’ work, bureaus of markets I
and similar Mr. Bishop de- i
dared, and the fact that the Georgia j
association, which sponsors it, is en- I
tirely out of politics he regards as ;
an Importaid factor in the creation I
of the public good will toward these !
oipaniz ttiors.

b’ott has pointed out, functions
tl.rough whatever local machinery
may be at hand. Its representative
in one county may be the county
board of trade; in another it may
be a committee named by a civic
club: or it may be a co-operative
mai-keting associat’cn.
The Committee formed Saturday
will press the subscription of $15,-
000 by the three organizations which
the committeemen represent, with
a view to sending out field agents
and expanding the scope of the as
sociation’s work to an extent where
local organizations in every county
in the- state will come in and raise
additional funds for the carrying
out of the diversification program.
The moving season will pot be
ended for 45 days. Mr. Abbott de
clared, and if sufficient persuasion
can be wielded against the farmer
who is contemplating removal from
the state or abandonment of jhis
farm for some other occupation, he
believes that 25,000 families, repre
senting 125.000 persons, will be
saved to Georgia’s collapsing agri
cultural world.
x The association’s present object,
he declared, is to place tenant farm
ers in counties where the machinery
for their relief has already been pro
vided in the shape of organizations

Clubbing Combinations
We make nothing out of these other papers. It means
, nothing to us whether you take them or not —
we are rather prejudiced against them, because we are put
to a lot of trouble to handle them, complaints are sent to us
whenever any one of them fails to reach the subscriber
promptly, and we have the expense of handling these com
plaints and sometimes lose the friendship of our subscribers,
- who hold us to blame instead of the publishers of the other
papers.
We offer them solely as an accommodation to our friends
and thus enable them to save from one-fourth to one-half
the cost of publications they desi ( re to take. We have re
moved from our list many publications which have given
poor delivery in the past. Judging from our past experience,
good service may be expected from those listed here:
