Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—There was
a renewal of yesterday’s buying
movement at the opening of the cot
ton market today and first prices
were strong at advances of 20 to 73
points on present crop positions al
though later months were unchanged
to 40 points lower. Trading was
very active. Buying on the bullish
view of yesterday’s crop figures was
stimulated by the firm showing of
Liverpool, but the advance met u
great deal of realizing and early fluc
tuations were irregular. January,
which had sold up to 35.40 at the
opening, eased of to 35.25 and March
which had advanced to 35.77, reacted
et 35.50, but the buying continued
and the realizing seemed to be read
ily absorbed on the setbacks. Liver
pool reacted after a sharp opening
advance but later firmed up again
with private cables reporting an im
proved tone in the goods market at
Manchester.
Realizing became heavy later and
there may have been some selling
for a reaction as the market turned
easier. Several December notices
were issued, and liquidation of the
position sent the price off to 35.25 or
sixty points net lower. This bad
and unsettling effect on later deliv
eries and during the noon hour the
decfine extended to 34.70 for Janu
ary, and 35.02 for March of about
eight to twenty points net lower.
July was relatively firin, but after
selling at 35.10 or eighty points net
higher on the early advance, declined
to 34.50 compared with 34.30 at the
close yesterday.
There was a quick rally during the
etirly afternoon on covering, accom
panied by talk of probable full do
mestic consumption figures from the
census bureau tomorrow. January
sold up to 35.30. and March to 35.65,
or about 40 to 55 points net higher,
but offerings increased at the ad
vance, with the south a considerable
seller and the market again weaken
ed, losing 25 or 30 points of the ad
vance around 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 13.—Over
night buying orders and better ca
bles than due put the price of cotton
35 to 40 points higher soon after the
opening of the market today but
heavy realizing sales came from yes
terday's buyers and a reaction rather
promptly set in so that at the end
of the first half hour of trading
prices of the more active months
were 2 to' 15 points under the last
•ales of yesterday. January traded
tip to 35.62 centh a pound and then
fell back to 35.10.
Selling increased and the decline
was gradually widened, until late in
the morning it amounted to forty
two to fifty points, compared with
the last sales of yesterday. Janu
ary traded as low as 33.45. Consid
erable selling arose from the disap
pointing showing of British textile
exports for November, officially
placed at 15,000,000 pounds of yarns
■*' and 350,000,000 yards of cloths.
New buying of consequence en
tered the market i nthe afternoon
and at one stage it had prices about
fifty points up from the lowest. Buy
ers did not continue aggressive and
at 1:30 o’clock the active months
were 31 to 37 points net lower with
January at 34.88.

’ (Coeytight. 1923.1
CHICAGO. Dec. 13. —Wheat trade was
> again dull today. Prices were firm most
; of the morning, but about midday an easy
tone developed in sympathy with corn.
’ Trade was almost entirely local in character
I ami there was very little of It. There was
; little new in circulation. Liverpool was a
little higher, a reflection of the changed
1 economic conditions as a result of tbe
I amicable attitude of France toward a set
’ tlement of tlie reparations question. There
nas a slightly broader export demand but
Canada still has a tnopopoly on this busi
ness. Cash wheat premiums were un
, changed. Milling demand for wheat was
, light. Primary receipts were slightly in
excess of last year.
1 Wheat closed %c higher to >Jc lower: De-
I cember. $1.04%: May, $1.09%01.09%; July,
I $1.07. '
Corn dragged through the morning with- i
out much change in price. But about mid-
• day tlie market became weaker under pres- !■
’ sure from some of the leading local traders II
as well as by cash houses. Receipts of I
corn were heavy and advances on consign- 1
ments continue fair. Industries paid nn- ,
changed prices early for cash cot a bat when i
they were filled up shippers secured (heir
quotation at one cent decline. Cold and
[ clear weather is favorable for marketing
• corn.
Corn closed unchanged to %c lower; De
cember. 71?4@71%c; May, 73%073%c; '
’ July. 74%c.
Oats were dull and easier with other
• grains. December was under pressure from
Iccgs.
Oats closed unchanged to %c lower: De
cember. 42%: May, 45%045%c: July, 43%c.
Provisions were easier. The start was
firmer but selling of January by local longs
caused a reaction in the entire list later.
Lard closed 5c to 7%c lower, and ribs

Hog Supply Lower
At Chicago Yards;
Cattle Increases
BY L. C. GRUNDELAND
(Special Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
UNION STOCK YARDS, Chicago, Thurs
day. Dec. 13. —Hog supply fell far below’
tlie expected number today, but more cat
tle and sheep arrived than last Thursday.
The short, bog run icsulted in a higher
market for all grades. Sellers had about
16.500 hogs held over from tbe previous
session, while 700 were received by big
killers from other trading points. About
200 cattle and 900 sheep were also billed
direct to packers, folder weather helped
all branches of the livestock trade. Car
report for the local yards was 1,281.
Receipts were 12,000 cattle, 47,000 bogs,
20.000 sheep and 4.000 calves.
Choice cattle were in fair demand, and
they found it easy to make steady to
strung values compared with the best time
of tlie day before. Some light steers -old
at 812.50. Heavy steers were slow, and
some sales were not up to what the stock
brought tlie previous day. Cows snd heifers
sold slowly at weak prices, while tlie mar
ket for calves was a little lower. Most of
the good vealers sold at $9.50 and down.
Hogs were strong for all grades that
were wanted, and most sales were up 150
25c from the general average of the day
befete. Prime heavy butchers sold nt $6.90
and this was tlie best, sellers could make
even with a fairly active demand for that
class of stock. Packers hogs were a little
slow’ at times, but here also prices were
higher. Bulk of packing stock went at
$6,200(1.40.
Demand for live muttons was slow and
prices were weak compared with the low
point noted late yesterday. Prime light
lambs were placed at $13.00 but some heavy
lots went at $11.00012.00. Aged muttons
aFo found a slow outlet at weak prices.

Canada and New England and the
southern plants were acquired for
the merger by Lockwood, Greer, &
Co., of this city. The only new fi
nancing in connection with the mer
ger, it was announced, will be the
issue of $4,000,000 ten-year 7 per
cent bonds. The mills of Colonel
Leroy Springs, in South Carolina,
were included in the combination as
first announced, but these interests
later withdrew. Included in the !
merger as completed today are the |
Starke mills, a new building and
village now constructed at Hogans
ville, Ga., for the production of tire
fabric. Hogansville and LaGrange,
two modern mills, equipped to make

COnON ENTHUSIAST
MAY HEAD HOUSE
MIL COMMIHEE
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building. |
BY THEODORE TILLER
Washington, Dec. 13.—what
of Ellison D. Smith, of South Caro
lina, the potential chairman of the
senate committee on interstate com
merce and the only Smith now left
in a senate that used to have on
its roll Mark Smith, of Arizona;
Hoke Smith, of Georgia; William
Alden Smith, of Michigan; John
Walter Smith, of Maryland, and
Smith, of South Carolina, who still
carries on? There is a chance, not
a certainty by any means,'that as
the senate deadlock continues
Smitjh, of South Carolina, will be
elected next week as chairman of
the interstate commerce committee
which will handle the railroad legis
lation of the sixty-eighth congress.
Railroad legislation just now is of
primary economic and industrial im
portance, but there creeps into it a
political tinge as the national elec
tions approach. Therefore comes the
inquiry:
What kind of a fellow is Ellison
Smith, of South Carolina, who may
be elected chairman of a senate com
mittee of a Republican congress be
cause the Republicans are in fuss
among themselves? There isn’t a
word in the autobiography of Sena
tor Smith that indicates that he is a
shark on railroad legislation. “Khig
Cotton” runs though his auto
biography and through his life. He
is better versed perhaps on the
plight of the cotton farmer, the
ravages of the boll weevil, the effect
lof a tariff on sulphate of ammonia
I used for fertilizer manufacture than
1 upon the twists and turns of a de
-1 niand for revision of railroad legis
lation as it exists today.
i Nevertheless, although Senator
Smith is known about the dapitol
as a “cotton enthusiast” or a "cot
ton bug,” according to the slang and
•slant of the commentator, he has
worked himself up to the ranking
minority place on the senate’s in
terstate commerce committee. Both
hard work and the seniority rule
figure in this advancement.
Some Democrats Oppose Him
Democrats of the senate are now
voting for Senator Smith as chair
man of interstate commerce because
jhe is the ranking Democrat on the
committee and the Republican in
surgents, aided by Senator 'Wheeler.
Democrat, of Montana, precipitated
the issue of the retirement of Sena
tor Cummins, regular Republican
and the present chairman. The sen
ate deadlock has continued for three
days and may be untangled next
Monday or later. Many of the Dem
ocrats now voting for Senator Smith
as chairman do not want him to get
the place. It is foolish politics, they
say, for any Democrat to head a
j senate committee which he cannot
I control and which belongs to the op-
I onsite party temporarily in power.
; With railroad legislation uppermost
'in public mind. why should the
! Democrats “take the buck” and
place Smith at the head of this sen
ate committee dominated by the op
position? Senator Smith voted
against the Esch-Cummins transpor
tation act vyhich is the main cause
of the insurgev' Republican assault
upon Senator Cummins. He is still
opopsed to that act.
Senator Smith has a fair grasp of
railroad problems but he has special
ized on cotton and the agriculture
of the south. In addition to his in
terstate commerce committee as
! signment in the past congress, he
had a. place on agriculture and for
estry, manufacturers and patents. He
has worked up to ranking minority
place on interstate commerce be
,cause he has been in the senate
since THI9 and his constituency has
returned him since. His term will
not expire until March 3. 1927.
Typical Southerner
In appearance and in aggressive
ness. Senator Ellison Smith is a
typieai southerner. He is florid in
face and wears a brown and bristling
mustache. He gets excited in de
bate, particularly when the interests
of the cotton states are involved. He
i can become more excited over rail
j road, freight rates, standards, re
> turns and guarantees and govern
ment ownership, hut not to the ex
tent when the boll weevil i« due for
a cast’aation. His specialty is cot
ton. not ri’ "ml rates, and his au
tobiography officially records that he
“was one of tbe principal figures in
the organization of the Southern
Gotton association at New Orleans
in January, 1905. was made field
agent and organizer of this move
ment in which canacitv he served
j from January, 1905. to June. 1908.”
In the latter year, he was nomi
nated and elected to the United
States senate and has been here
