f COTTON I
NEW YORK. Dec. 12.—The better
tone which had developed in the cot
ton market yesterday was in evi
dence again this morning. Liver
pool was again better than due, and
the market here opened firm at an
advance of 22 to 31 points on the
higher cables and continued cover
ing. January sold up to 33.76 and
May to 34.35 or about 33 to 38 points
net higher before the initial buying
orders were supplied and while this
advance was followed by slight reac
tions the undertone was steady.
Trading was comparatively quiet, be
ing restricted, probably, by linger
ing uncertainty as to the probable
showing of the government’s crop
report due this afternoon.
The early demand was supplied on
the advance to 33.76 for January, and
the market eased off later under
realizing by recent buyers who were
evidently inclined to secure profits
before the publication of the govern
ment crop report. Rather an easier
turn in Liverpool was also a factor,
and there was considerable December
liquidation. December was relative
ly easy, selling off to 33.92 around
midday, or about eight points net
lower,’while later months were three
to ten points net higher with Janu
ary at 33.46.
There was a rally just before the
• government report was issued at -
o’clock which carried the price of
March contracts up to 34.20 or 4o
points net higher on covering. The
estimate of 10,081,000 bates was fol
lowed. by an immediate break of 70
to 80 points with March selling off
to 33.30 under orders which had
ri »g to sell should the report prove
ring to sell hsould the report prove
over ten million bales. This decline
brought in buying orders, however,
and March soon rallied to 34.10 with
the market extremely feverish and
irregular.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12.—Early
trading in cotton today brought ad
vances of 33 to 39 points, the Jan
uary position rising to 33.70 cents
a pound. Values were supported by
a better iverpool market than due
and by new buying, although the
new demand was somewhat restrict
ed by uncertainty over the govern
ment’s estimate of the crop. Some
demand arose from continued wet
weather in the northwestern, section
of the belt, and fronv accounts of a
good spot demand in Texas markets.
The market became a waiting prop
osition because of the government’s
crop estimate at 1 o’clock. Prices
sagged moderately under scattered
liquidation of the long interest and
at noon were 5 to 12 points up net,
with January at 33.43.
I’rirps continued to sag until they were
at 33.25 c for .January and 6 to 20 points
under the close of yesterday. Recoveries
occurred, and at 1 o’clock, when the gov
ernment’s erop estimate of 19,181,000 bales
was issued, January stood at 33.50 c. For a
short time fluctuations were
erratic: the crop figures were about IW.OW
bales over the average of expectations and
January fell off to 39.40 c, but new support
of the most determined character was met,
and on it Ute whole list climbed, January,
just before 1:30 o’clock, selling at 34.„0c, or
80 points higher than the price when the
crop estimate came out. At this level the
list was 83 to 114 points higher than the
last sales of yesterday and 103 to 130 points
over the lOw prices of the day.

ability of selling wheat at these levels.
Hurlbtird, Warren & Co.: Believe wheat

THE ATLANTA TKI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
BY GEORGE SCHNACKEL
(Leased Wire Service' to The Journal J
(Copyright, 1923.)
CHICAGO, Dee. 12.—Wheat had a firm
tone today. There was local pressure at
the start based on the decline in Liverpool
and in anticipation of further liquidation.
Good commission, house buying developed on
the dip and this forced shorts to cover. In
the later trading it looked as if people that
had wheat sold against purchases of corn
; wore closing out the spread. There was lit
tie news in circulation. Seaboard reported
some Manitoba wheat worked for export and
this seemed to emphasize the need of for
eigners because the weakness in foreign ex
change was not conducive to trade at th
time. An eastern mill shipped out 100.000
bushels of wheat yesterday taken in on De
cember delivery. Primary receipts were a
little better, owing to an increase in the
southwest. Cash wheat premiums wee
steady.
Wheat closed, ’•’> to 1 % cents higher: De
cember, 1.04%; May, $1.09%@l .09 % ; July.
sl-07%.
Corn was firm early, but. the market lost
most of its advance late when longs sold
out their corn that they had bought against
sales of wheat. There was buying early on
the wet weather and prospects of reduced
movement. Cash corn -started half cent
higher, but before midday the advance was
lost and declines of as much as 2%c were
recorded in some grades.
Corn closed %4’ % cents higher; Decem
ber, 72%4;72%c: May. 73%c; July. 74%c.
Oats were inclined to be firm early with
wheat, but reacted later. Trade was slow.
Oats were %4/% cents higher; December,
42%c; May, 45%c; July, 43 %e.
Lard was strong on buying by a house
with foreign Connections. Ribs was easier
in sympathy with tlie hog weakness.
Lard closed unchanged to 2% cents higher,
and ribs, 7% @lO cents lower.

Cotton Market Opinions
Orris Bros.: We think it is decidedly best
and advisable to be long of the market.
S. M. Weld & Co.: We advocate purchases
before the bureau at about tonight s closing
prices, or entering limited buying orders
somewhat under the market in case of a
decline either before or after the report.
Hubbard Bros.: Any sharp variation from
these figures (9.94(1,999 bales) will have a
corresponding effect upon the mraket after
the report is read.
Hicks & Williams: The technical position
of the market is better than for a long
time.
Munds & Winslow: It looks as if the
market had been purged of overzealons spec
ulation, and the trade was ready to pass
judgment on a crop in the neighborhood of
10.000,000 bales.
Garden, Green A- Co.: We continue to
favor purchases on reaction!
Benner A Beane: The trade appears to
expect the government estimate to come
around 10,060,000 bales. We are inclined to
the view that it will come under that fig
ure. If it does, the market is a purchase.
If.- on the other hand, it comes over, a de
cline. is likely.

MEXIMOPBISING
EL FASO, Texas, Dec. 11.—(By
the Associated Press.) —Coincident
with reports that Tepic, capital of
the Mexican state of Nayarita, had
fallen into the hands of the re
billious forces, General J. Gonzalo
Escobar, commander of the depart
ment comprising the states of Du
rango and Coahula, was en route
with 2,000 troops from Torreon io
cut off the rear ot General Juan
Estrada, the rebel commander at
Guadlajara, military officials at Jua
rez learned last night.
Telegraphic communication with
Mexico City direct, which was cut
Saturday when rebels destroyed the
railway at Canitas, Zucatecas, has
been resumed.. Government officials
here received messages from their
chiefs in the capital today.
Resumption of communications is
taken to indicate that the federal
offices are again in control of the
railway line for its entire length.
A strict news censorship is in
force, however.
Efforts of Governor Ygnacio En
riquez, of Chihuahua, to bring about
peace between De la Huerta and
General Calles, another presidential
candidate against whom the re
bellion is said to be aimed, ap
parently were halted by the blowing
up of a railway line. The destruc
tion of the line marooned Enriquez,
who was enroute to Mexico City, in
Durango, below Chihuahua, it was
reported last night. Direct com
munication with Mexico City has
been severed.
The garrisbn at Tepic divided
Sunday and 200 soldiers rebelled, ac
cording to reports reaching Noga
les, AHzonk, which said General An
‘atolio chief of military op
erations in Nayarit, who command
ed the garrison, was seriously
wounded. A young sub-lieutenant
was killed, the report said. The
revolt was said to have been led
by General Manuel Diaguez, com
mander under the regime of Car
ranza.
Reports that the Yaqui Indians at
Bacalete were about to go on the
war path, or that they had taken
to the mountains in preparation for
such action, were declared unfound
ed in the Nogales dispatch.
The Tampico oil district is quiet,
said an official statement from
Colonel Roman Lopez, commander
of the Juarez garrison, early today.
He added that the military colonies
at Rio Florito and at Pueblito, be
tween Chihuahua and Ojinja, were
reported loyal.
The gunboat Zargosa is prepared
to sail for Tampico to assist in the
attack ot. that city which is to be
undertaker, by the troops of Gov
ernor Lop<” de Lara, of Tamauli
pas, in conjunction with troops com
manded by General Panuncio Mar
tinez. The . peration against Tam
pico is to L- directed by General
Alfonso de la Huerta.
Advices received here say that
the state of Guanajuato, north of
Mexico City, has fallen into the
hands of rebels commanded by Gen
eral Gabaya.
A radio' message front the head
quarters of General Enrique Es
trdda, commander of the western
forces, says that the advance on the
capital from this direction is con
tinuing.
Meanwhile troops are leading Vera
Cruz for the point of concentration
from which the march on the capi
tal from the east is to be started.
This advance will be along the line
of the Mexican railway.
It is reported here that a band
of 100 federal soldiers, sent to op
pose the rebels, joined the insur
gents near San Andres, Pueblo.
Troops which yesterday took pos
session of Puerto de Mexico pursued
and dispersed the forces of General
Belmar, who abandoned the town
with 100 men.

Adolfo de la ’Huerta and General
Sanchez, which are advancing to
ward Mexico City, met a detach
ment of federal troops yesterday
rear Boca Del Monte on the Puebla-
Vera Cruz border. The Obregon sol
diers retreated, reports of the en
gagement sajj after a brief skir
mish with tne rebel detachment
which was commanded by Colonel
Celso Hernandes. The insurgent
leader then started for Tehuacan,
Puebla, to cover the advance of
troops which are to go forward to
day.
Obregon soldiers are reported at
Chalchicomula,. state of Puebla, and
at other points along the Mexican
railway. They are under the com
mand of General Topete, yester
day morning advanced with a mili
tary train to Esperanza. He later
withdrew.
As a result of this movement on
the part of the federal troops, more
rebels were sent to Boco Delmonte,
as the insurgent leaders desire to
take precautions against anything
that may happen before the general
advance of the revolutionaries is
fully under way.

by legislators here today. Governor
Enriquez was returning to the state

LEAGUE TO INVITE
11. S. TO JOIN W
ON fflS TRAFFIC
PARIS, Dec. 11.—(By the Asso
ciated Press.) —An invitation to the
United States government to col
laborate with the League of Nations
in framing a new convention for
control of the traffic in anna will
be immediately dispatched to Wash
ington as the result ot action of the
council of the League of Nations at
this afternoon's session.
The letter of invitation, at the
suggestion of Lord Robert Cecil, will
sMcifically set forth that the pro
posed discussions at Geneva will in
no sei.se be of political nature and
merely will permit the United States
to continue the same welcome co
operation in certain league activi
ties as has already been carried on
In the fiids such as that of opium
regulation and slave traffic suppres
sion.
The United States declined to ad
here to the convention of St. Ger
main regulatin gthe arms traffic
chiefly for the reason, it was ex
plained, of inability to engage in ad
vances to get the passage of the nec
essary legislation and various dele
gates of the league have been com
plaining that the Washington gov
ernment had neglected to advance
suggestions on how best to treat the
arms traffic problem, as it had been
requested to do by the council.
Today’s action represents another
effort to obtain American help in the
elaboration of a new international
accord.

Freezing Weather
Throughout California
Damages Fruit Crop
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 11.—
Freezing temperatures and killing
frosts were reported by the United
States weather bureau today from
one end of California to the other.
The low temperatures undoubtedly
damaged the Valencia orange crop in
the lower San Joatiuin valley region,
but there was little chance for dam
age elsewhere, the weather bureau
s&id.
The California Fruit Growers’ ex
change said the extent of the damage
to fruit in southern California would
not be known until January 1 when
a survey of conditions is expected
to be completed. Loss is expected
by fruit blown down by the wind..

Clubbing Combinations
We make nothing out ot these other papers. It means
nothing to us whether you take them or not —if anything,
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 desire 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:
