Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—The cotton
market opened easy at a decline oi
10 to 40 points today owing to weak
Liverpool cables and -the strike oi-
British .railroad engineers. March
sold off to 32.65 and May to 32.81,
under southern and local selling,
making declines of about 35 to 50
points on old crop positions v.hilc
October sold at 27.80 or 20 points
Het lower. Houses with Liverpool
connections were among the buyeis
on the break, however, and there
Was a good deal of covering which
caused rallies of 15 or 20 points dur
ing the early trading. Business was
active at the start but becime com
paratively quiet after the call.
Breezing weather was reported in
practically all sections of the south,
leading to talk of a further reduc
tion in the number of boll weevil
likely to survive the winter, but new
crop months were relatively steady
Curing the early trading.
The mraket showed increasing
firmness later and most of the ear'.v
losses were recorded on bullish
southern spot advices and private
reports from Liverpool of an optim
istic character regarding the rail
road situation. There was trade
buying as well as covering on the
advance which carried March con
tracts up to 33.02 and May to 33.23,
or about 40 points from the lowest
and within 13 to 14 points of Satur
day's closing. Trading was quieter
around midday but prices were only
eight to 10 points off froyt the best.
Advices received in the trade here
from the couth said there was a bet
ter demand both for export and do
mestic spinners.
The market weankened early in
the afternoon under New Orleans
selling which started some local
liquidation. March cased off to 32.70
or about 30 points from the best and
45 points net lower but the pressure
soon subsided and rallies of 15 or
20 points were fololwed by a quiet
mar4<et around 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.—Prices
Were lower by 40 to 45 points or the
openinz of the cotton market today,
March “falling to 32.67. Liverpool
came in lower than due and the
British railway strike also was a
bearish influence. The extremely
severe weather over the belt, whil
it was regarded as seriously inter
ferring with plowing, appeared to
cause considerable selling Ipecause of
its effects in destroying insect life.
Belling pressure was not sustained
find March recovered to 32.92 by the
e id of the first half hour of business.
At the lowest of the early trading
©ld crop prices were 52 to 56 points
off and October was 30 points off,
compared with the close of last
week. Private messages from Liver
pool, declaring that the railroad
strike was not so serious as it at first
appeared, gave the market a better
tone and buying increased on the
forecast of continued cold weather
!o> 'the cotton region. Some sec
tions of Texas wired in that not a
plow had been stuck in the ground
this winter. Late in the morning
prices were unchanged to 16 points
down, compared with’ the finals of
last week. March, came back to 33.11
and October to 27.55.
Prices broke to nearly the lowest
Os the«day under rumors that Liver
pool was trying to cancel contracts
for spots on this side of the water
but. a swift recovery to the highest
level occurred when spot men com
plained that just the reverse actual
ly was the case and that the founda
tion of the rumors was attempts by
shippers on this side to induce Liv
erpool to cancel contracts which the
shippers were having trouble in cov
ering. At 1:30 o’clock prices were
about ten points off from the high
est, March trading 33.00 and Octo
ber at 27.45.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
BY GEORGE C. SCHNACKEL

(Copyright, 1924.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Wheat trade was
slow and price changes were ot little impor
tance today. I’rivate wire systems were
operatin gouly partly owing to the damage
caused by recent storms and the cold wave.
This caused trade to be confined almost en
tirely to the local element. There was lit
tle to choose as to the feeling in the trade,
sentiment being fairly well divided. A
further depreciation in foreign exchange
rates was noted. This naturally made it
difficult for exporters to do business with
many of the importing nations:. Scandi
navia bought a little wheat over night, how
ever. Domestic milling demand fur wheat
was good, one house alone selling 25,000
bushels. Primary receipts were small. The
United States visible supply decreased
2,071.000 bushels last week. A little appre
hension was felt over the continued cold
wave and its effect on the winter wheat
plant.
Wheat closed % cent lower; May, $l.OS@
1.08%; July. $1.06%; September, $1.05%.
In corn there was also a lack of outside
interest. Prices, however, were a shade
firmer. Longs regained confidence when
receipts failed to show the heralded increase.
There was a reinstatement of lines, and
this command was sufficient to take the
slack out of the market. The cold weather
was partly responsible for the lighter move
ment because it delayed railroad operations.
Cash demand from the east was light and
shipping sales were moderate. United
States visible supply decreased 72,000
bushels.
Corn closed %@% cent higher; May, 78%
@7B%c; July. 79',ie: September, 80%c.
Oats were dull and prices showed little
change. Visible supply decreased 1,060,000
bushels.
Oats closed unchanged to % cent lower;
May, 46%@46%c; July, 44%c; September,
43c.
Provisions started Idwer on the weak hog
situation, but a recovery in prices at the
yards encouraged the latter.
Lard closed 5 to 10 cents higher, and ribs
unchanged..

GRANDEUR OF SIGHT
SWEEPS THOUSANDS
INTO MIGHTY CHEER
(Continued from Page D
assembly regards that sublime coun
tenance. The soul of the gathering
as well as its vision is fastened upon
the face of Lee. For one brief mo
ment it seemed as if the dream, the
memorial, were on trial.
Out of the stillness spoke a, voice,
clear, ■ though quavering with the
years:
“It's General Lee,’’ said the voice,
and there was a catch, a break, in
the tone.
It was an old, old man who spoke;
an old man in a gray uniform; a
veteran of the Army of the Confed
eracy.
How many heard that quavering
recognition can only be guessed.
Probably only 200 or 300 of the many
thousands. .But as if that had been
the signal for which the thousands
were waiting—the seal and stamp
of some looked-for approval—the ap
plause came crashing out and rolled
across the valley, an answer to the
thunder of the granite; and the shrill
rebel yell rode like a war eagle on
its crest.
The army of the Confederacy had
recognized its own, and the nation
was greeting one of its greatest
sons.
Memorial Assured
For years the memorial had been
dreamed and talked about. Three
years ago the plan took a practi
cal turn, and the benign and lovely
face of Helen Plane had been light
ed with a. great hope for the dream
of her heart. For months actual
work had been in progress on the
world’s greatest monolith. The band
of those who had faith daily in
creased, yet still there was doubt.
The project seemed too vast, too
dimly huge, even for the man whom
Dr: Durham in his address placed
among the world's most illustrious
dreamers, “with much of Grecian
gift for beauty, and more than
Roman genius of construction.”
Would it prove too great a task
for Borglum? Must a speculative
and unfinished tribute to the Lost
Cause only scratch the vastest rock
above the surface of the earth?
The answer came like a clarion
note from the parapets of heaven,
ringing through the gray air of that
momentous Saturday afternoon, the
afternoon of the birth anniversary
of Robert E. Lee.
The memorial was assured.
Signed, sealed —ready for delivery
to all the generations “that shal
come marching down” through the
ages, out to the ultimate horizon of
time, the Stone Mountain memorial
was ratified.
And reflected toward ' the great,
calm visage on the mountain-side
under its coronet of glory-there was
the glow that Dr. Durham called
most beautifully, "the light from the
face of man. wrapping him in his
tory’s benediction.”
Distiuguihed Persons There
On the rostrum on the hillcrest,
with Mrs. Plane and Dr. Marx, Gut
zon Borglum and Hollins Randolph
and Dr. Durham, stood many dis
tinguished men and women, gather
ed to honor the first tangible sign
of the world’s greatest memorial—
David R. Francis, former governor
of Missouri and former ambassador
to Russia; Governor W. W. Brandon,
of Alabama: Governor E. Lee Trin-

Veterans There
And there in the misting rain they
stood,- while the noble periods of
Plato Durham spoke the deathless
influence and fame of Lee; and
down in the road before the moun
tain were the humbler groups,
among them standing with old faces
uplifted and shining the oldest and
the youngest members of the little
and fading colony at the Soldiers’
home—Lorenzo Dow Grace, 111
years old, “from Buncombe coun
ty, North Carolina, sir—but long
ago. and since . a good Georgian,
sir,” and Nathaniel Jackson. Wal
ker. of Putnam county, Georgia,
holding each other's arm, and point
ing out the noble head so far above
them.
Upwards of two hours it required
for all the tremendous swarm ot
cars to get turned about and head
ed back to the city, and a certain
•solemnity was upon the spirit of the
homeward caravan; for a prophetic
hint had come upon them, with the
sight of that knightly head upon
the mountain, of what Plato Dur
ham had said:
“No generation of youths shall
ever pass this way and be the same
again. In their hearts will burn the
light of the inspiration of this in
effable •symbol. . ' . . No ignoble
sentiments may live in the presence
of the beacon of idealism which we
light today.”
UPSHAW TELLS HOUSE
OF GIANT MEMORIAL
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.
Unable to attend the dedication of
the Stone Mountain memorial Rep
resentative William D. Upshaw late
Saturday addressed the house and
described the wonders of the memo
rial to General ee and the Confed
eracy.
After his description of Gutzon
Borglum’s great statue, Representa
tive Upshaw said in part:
“The whole imposing panorama
will sweep across the awe inspiring
precipice to the length of 1,350 feet,
making forever vocal to the millions
who will visit that shrine of unex
ampled splendor. The heroism of
southern chieftains and the deathless
love of their loyal followers in that
tragic “strife of brothers,” a strife
that was born of a worthy concept
of loyalty to the constitution on both
sides, and that eventuated, through
the providence of the God of nations,
in a clarified constitution and one
common flag for Americans —
Americans everywhere.”
Johnson Calls Tax Cut
Plan ‘Mirage’ to Cover
Faulty Foreign Policy
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—Describing
the Mellon tax reduction plan as
“cuttlefish ink in the political
waters” and “a beautiful mirage to
blind our people,” Hiram Johnson
pushed his campaign in Illinois for
the presidency in two speeches here
last night.
“A foreign policy which speaks
against permanent political alliances
and then practically allies us with
an existing power upon this hemi
sphere (Mexico), constitutes a record
of foreign policy which needs the
obscuring sheen of a tax reduction
scheme,” Johnson said.
‘‘The reduction,” he said, “is not
a political issue.”
He branded the sale of arms to
the Mexican government as “im
moral if not illegal.’
‘Pathetic,’ Butler Says,
After Seeing Pistols of
Philadelphia Police'
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.—Arm ]
ing all policemen with 45 calibre au- ;
tomatic pistols to do away with the;
present lack of uniformity In ,
weapons on the force was announc- |
ed today by Brigadier-General Smed
ley D. Butler, director of public
safety, as his latest step in increas
ing the efficiency of the city's guar
dians.
The announcement followed an in
spection trip of several station
bouses at which the director was
particularly insistent on seeing the
policemen’s weapons. The policemen i
displayed every size, shape and i
make of firearm, which, it was ex- I
plained to the general by officials, I
was due to the system ot having ;
each policeman purchase hig own i
pistol.
“Pathetic!” the director said. I
“From the way those policemen
hauled up their skirts you’d have
thought they were looking for a
box of matches. It was tragic! A
bandit could have riddled those men
while they were trying to find their
guns. One man had the muzzle of
his revolver plugged—to keep it
clean. If he had fired it he'd prob
ably have killed himself.”
The general, after inspecting po
lice records of last night's clean-up
drive agairist lawbreakers, an
nounced that the city “looked like
Sunday.”
The force of the drive was especial
ly directed against pool room loung
ers, and today a number of stations
were crowded with prisoners. An
nouncement was made by Magis
trate Fitzgerald prior to hearings
that he would inflict drastic punish
ment on those frequenters of pool
rooms who could not show they were
working.

Weekly Butter Review
CHICAGO, Jan. 19. —Anticpiatcd
January declines occurred during the
week in the butter market which
closed weak and unsettled with fine
butter prices materially lower. Buy
ers confined the’.r operations to im
mediate requirements and took losses
to keep stocks moving.
A material increase in production
was reported, actual increase in the
milk flow, arrival of storm-delayed
cream at factories and the milk
strike in Chicago were given as rea
sons.
Invasion of foreign butter was
largely responsible for the weaken
ing of the domestic markets, al
though actual arrivals ot foreign
make were light. New York received
3.900 boxes Argentine and 332 casks
Danish, but there was considerable
Danish in the hands of dealers. Re
ports indicate that upwards of 13,000
casks Danish will be available next
week.
Range and closing prices, whole
sale, 92 score butter, at the four
principal markets follow:
Chicago 11-2 less at 52; New York
1 less at 52 1-2; Boston 1 less at 53
and Philadelphia _’l-2 less at 52.
NEW METHOD
HEALS RUPTURE
Kansas City Doctor’s Discovery |
Makes Truss or Operation
Unnecessary.
Kansas City, Mo. —(Special) A
new discovery which, experts agree,
has no equal for curative effects in
all rupture cases, is the latest ac
complishment of Dr. Andrews, the
well-known Hernia specialist of this
city. The extraordinary success of
this new method proves that it
holds and heals a rupture. It weighs
only a few ounces. Has no hard
gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg
straps, no steel bands, and is as
comfortable as a light garment. It
has enabled hundreds of persons to
throw away trusses and declare their i
rupture absolutely healed. Many of '
these had serious double, ruptures,
from which they had suffered for !
years. It is Dr. Andrews’ ambition •
to have every ruptured person on- ;
joy the quick relief, comfort and
healing nower of his discovery, and
he will send it on free trial to any
reader of The Journal who writes
him at his office, 1213 Koch Bldg.,
Kansas City, Mo. He wants one per
son in each neighborhood to whom
he can refer. If you wish to be rid
of rupture for good, without an op
eration, take advantage of the doc
tor’s free offer. Write him today.
