Tri-Weekly Market Reports
| COTTON p
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—The cotton ;
market opened firm today at an ad
vance of live to forty-iwo putti.s
and sold about forty to forty-nine
points net higher uuring tne ear.}
trading with December advancing to
34.30 and Marcn to 34.05 on trade
buying and covering. Private cables
reported a better tone in Liverpool, i
which rallied sharply from an eiu.y
decline, and there was some buying
here on reports of big exports from
Galveston and talk of a busi
ness pending in cotton goods. Trade
interests were among the buyers,
but there was further scattered real
izing or liquidation which caused
some irregularity during the first
hour. Galveston reported exports t
of over 38,000 bales today.
The early realizing sales were ab
sorbed on very moderate setbacks,
aud the market developed increased
firmness on reports of a firmer spot
basis in the southwest due partly
to a demand from exporters. Jan
uary sold up to 33.75 and Muy to
34.32, making net advances of about
50 to 60 points on the active posi
tions and while the demand tapered
off to some extent at these figures,
prices were within ten or fifteen
points of the best around midday.
The big exports for the day
amounting to about 154.000 bales at
tracted a great deal of bullish com
ment during the early afternoon.
They failed to inspire much further
buying, however, and prices eased
off under realizing and scattered sell
ing. January declined to 33.45 and
May to 33.98 or about 30 to 34 points
from the best with the market ruling
23 to 30 points net higher around 2
o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17. —Ad-
vances 'of forty-two to fifty-five
points were made bv the cotton mar
ket today in the first half hour of
the session in the face of a poor
Loverpool market and a renewal of
talk of organized short-time among
Lancashire mills. New buying of
an aggressive character caused cov
ering of the recently built-up short
interest. The January position rose
to 33.62 cents a pound.
The extremely heavy export move
ment of the day caused buying for a
while but at noon the tone was rather
reactionary again. Prices worked 54
to 68 points over the close of last
week and January traded up to 33.74,
but. at noon the list was 25 to 30
points down from the highest. At
noon indications were that the ex
ports from all ports for the day
would, at the least, be around 170,-
000 bales.
Distant months were much strong
er in the afternon than were the
nears and July rose to the new high
for the day of 33.33 cents a pound
by 1:30 o’clock. At the same time
January traded at 33.60. At these
levels January was 40 up while
July was 70 up. Expected bullish
ness of statistics was reflected by
the increasing demand for the late
positions.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—A strong tone de
veloped in the wheat pit early today, and
though the trade was dull, prices advanced
easily. Commission houses with eastern
connections absorbed the initial offerings
and covering by shorts bid the market up.
Expectation that the final government re
port, issued at 3 p. m. today, would re
vise downward the preliminary estimate of
the spring wheat production acted as a
stabilizing factor. News otherwise was dis
concerting for the bulls.
Wheat closed %c to l%c higher; Decem
ber, $1.05%: May, 81.09%; July. $1.07@
1.07%.
Coin worked lower under scattered sell
ing by cash interests aud longs. Pressure
from local traders was also in evidence.
The movement of new corn is keeping up
well and most reports from the interior re
fect th* :d«a that farmers are fair sellers
at this time.
Corn closed irregularly, 18c lower to %e
higher; September, 74%@74%c; May, 73%@
73%c: July, 74%c.
Trade in oats was moderate. Commis
sion house operations were limited and

Trade Strong in Hogs, i
Ordinary Cattle Low
With Receipts Small
BY L. C. GRUNDELAND
(Special Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright. 1923.1
UNION STOCKYARDS, Chicago (Mon
day), Dee. 17.—After a dull and lower mar
ket all last week in the cattle alleys, the
run fell off somewhat today, but there was
little demand for stuff allowing plain qual
ity. Less than fifty head of cattle were
received by big killers, while 2,000 bogs and
2,000 sheep were billed that way. In the
hog house less than 4.000 were held jtver
from last week and the trade was strong
from the start. Car report for the day was
placed at 2,300 and all that .had arrived at
the opening of the market.
Receipts were 27,000 cattle, 70,000 hogs,
22,000 sheep and 4,000 calves.
While cattle supply was light today, yet
the trade was uneven and values were lower
for all kinds that did not show the best of
quality. The general market was quoted
weak to 25c lower, with bulk of beef steers
going at $7.55@9.50. Some choice steers
sold at $11.50. with small lots at $11.75.
Prime yearlings were held at $13.00. Cows
sold mostly weak to 25c off. Canners and
bulls also had a weak market, while calves
were down more than 25c. ,
Hogs sold at steady to strong values com
pared with the close of last week. _ Prime
heavy butchers again made $7.25, while bulk
of good hogs went at $6.75@7.15. Most of
the packing stock sold at $6.40@6.85. Big
killers did not take hold of the market
early, but sellers were able to clear the
pens fairly well.
Fat lambs were again off 25c to 50c, and
the trade was slow at the decline. Some
choice animals went to city butchers a’
$12.75, with bulk of good stock to big killers
at $12.00@12.50. Some fair quality feeders
sold at $11.25. Aged muttons sold about
steady on a comparatively light supply.

JOHNSON’S HOPE FORLORN
IN RACE WITH COOLIDGE,
IS VIEW AT WASHINGTON
President’s Machine Well
Oifed and Nomination Is
Declared -Certain—Others
Quit Field
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Special Correspondent of The
Atlanta Journal)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 35—The
men behind the Coolidge campaign
today declared that their fight for
his nomination at Cleveland next
June soon would become nothing
more than a triumphal parade.
Events of the week here in Washing
ton have demonstrated the complete
dominance of the president over the
machinery of the Republican party
and few political observers see how
any other aspirant for the party’s
highest honors can possibly break
through sufficiently to upset the
Coolidge plans.
This does not mean that Senator
Hiram Johnson, of California, is
lacking in friends and supporters
here . These very friends realize,
however, the herculean task that lies
before the Progressive candidate of
the Pacific slope. Senator Johnsen
is a man of indomitable courage, and
professes to be not the least discour
aged by the evidence of Coolidge pop
ularity in the national committee.
He has realized all along that he
would have to fight the “organiza
tion” in order to win and so he was
neither startled nor perturbed by
the turn of events at the national
committee sessions.
With virtually all of the machin
ery against him, and with the inevi
table spirit of “stand by the presi
dent” welling up in the Republican
ranks, it is easy to see that Senator
Johnson will have to be more vigor
ous than he has ever been before to
turn the tide of battle in his favor.
He will have to ba more virile and
more bitter in his attack and almost
single-handed will have to struggle
to tear down his party’s confidence
in the man who stepped to the helm
of the ship of state when President
Harding was permitted to lay down
the heavy tasks which fate and for
tune had thrust upon him.
Roosevelt Case Parallel
A president seeking nomination
for a second term, has a prodigious
advantage over all outsiders. Even
so beloved a character as the late
Colonel Roosevelt could not upset
the renomination of President Taft
in 1912. The colonel could only or
ganize a third party in which he was
sure to receive the nomination. Sen
ator Johnson was Colonel Roose
vent’s right hand partner in that en
terprise. Whether hisstory will re
peat itself remains in the lap of the
gods,
Senator Johnson and several other
potential candidates had been en
couraged in their 192’ aspirations by
the belief that President Harding
would decline to run for a second
term. This would have thrown the
race wide open and that would have
been much to the liking of the gen
tleman from California. In a free
field he a splendid runner. At a
time when his ambition mounted
highest. Calvin Coolidge, then the
vice president, apparently was far
from the minds of any of the Re;
publican leaders as a possible suc
cessor to Mr. Harding. There tad
been no president of the United
States from New England in seventy
years, and the wise men of the G.
O. P. had no inclination to break es
tablished precedent and took to the
conservative zone of the far north
east at a time when progressive sen
timent once more was rising in the
middle country and the far west.
Fate played its prank upon the
wise men, however, and those among
the national committeemen who
would have grinned at the “silent
man” of Massachusetts six months
ago, were loudest in their declara
tions at this week's meetings that it
would be nothing short of a national
disaster to think of any one but Cal-

vin Coolidge for president during the
next ’foui’ years.
Os coure, Senator Johnon and his
bankers do not look at it in exactly
that light. They are going to try to
convince the country that only a
strong man from the great open
spaces can meet and cope with the
country’s problems in the important
four years to come; that only a
strong man like Senator Johnson can
keep the gaunt hand of Europe from
America’s much coveted throat.
Machine Well Oiled.
Meanwhile, virtually all talk of
other entries in the G. O. P. handi
cap has ceased. Senator Johnson is
not discouraged by the running start
given to Mr. Ccolidge, but evidently
some of the others are very much
downcast. Govem»r Gifford Pinchot,
of Pennsylvania, ancther of the
Roosevelt lieutenants in the greai
walk-out of 1912, stll 1 is strugar’mg
with the anthracite coal situation
and what was expected to boa spee
tacular bid for the piea'drncy has
turned out to be very luuch of a
burden. The friends c-f President
Coolidge still say he was very wise
in permitting the Pennsylvania gov
ernor to conduct in person the an
thracite negotiations.
The Coolidge machine is working
with apparent smoothness in all its
details. Wm. M. Butler, of Massa
chusettes, the head of the campaign,
is comparatively unknown to na
tional politics. He is a cautious nran
like his chief, however, and likely to
make few mistakes. That is all the
Coolidge train needs, a steady hand
and few mistakes. Senator Johnson’s
hopes are based on the theory that
things will go otherwise. Mr. But
ler xvill not be lacking in practical
political advice. C. Bascom Slemp,
secretary to the president is likely
to be, after all, the political brains
behind all the Coolidge moves. .Xis
appointment as secretary was a big
surprise to Washington, which
thought that following the example
set by President Harding, Mr. Cool
idge would elevate his personal sec
retary to the post. Mr. Coolidge was
more far-sighted than some of his
advisory friends, and the result has
been the Coolidge for president move
ment has been in capable and busy
hands ever since Bascom Slemp took
the oath of office.

Coolidge’s Friends
To Enter Name m
Alabama Primary
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Friends
of President Coolidge have aban
doned the plans they had made to
obtain the Alabama delegation to the
Republican national convention by
having W. Aubrey Thomas, of Bir
mingham, run as a candidate for the
presidential nomination in the Re
publican primary in Alabama. In
stead, it is likely that Mr. Coolidge’s
name will be entered in the primary
of that state.
The plans to have Mr. Thomas run
were made to meet the provision re
cently placed in the Alabama primary
law which would give a preference
regardless of the state vote to any
candidate. The national committee
in its call for the Cleveland conven
tion provided for non-recognition of
any state law which “hinders,
abridges or denies” the right of all
candidates to a free and open pri
mary.
With this situation before them,
the friends of Mr. Coolidge said the
plans originally mads had been
abandoned and indicated that the
president would enter the primary to
contest for the delegation with any
other candidates.
The political situation in Oklaho
ma, which generally is acknowledged
as complex, also was discussed today
by those active in the Coolidge cam
paign. Senator Harreld had a lengthy
conference with the president and
several other leaders saw Secretary
Slemp. Whether any conclusions
were reached was not disclosed.
