Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON |
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—The cotton
market opened barely steady today
at an advance of two points to a de
cline of 20 points; most positions
being lower tinder liquidation aiid
southern and local selling, which
may have been promoted by rather
larger ginning figures than expected.
The census report, showing C,946,462
bales ginned to January 16 wan about
20,000 bales above the forecast, but
this excess was hardly sufficient to !
cause any change of importance in j
crop ideas and after selling off to,
32.95, March rallied to 33.33 on the.
relatively steady Liverpool cables ;
and a more favorable view of Eu- ,
ropean conditions. Houses with Liv-j
erpool connections were among the |
buyers, while a moderate trade de
mand was also reported on the ad
vance.
Buying on the early rally was en
couraged by the continued bullish
charaster of private reports reach
ing here from the southern spot mar
kets and complaints that the rains
in the southwest were. causing
further delay in farm work. As
May worked above 33 1-2 cents the
demand tapered off. however, and
after selling at 33.62 for that posi
tion, or 34 points net higher, the
market became quiet. Realizing
caused reactions of some ten or fif
teen points from the best, but other
wise there appeared to be little sell
ing and prices held steady around
midday, with March at 33.30 and
; May at 33.54 or 23 to 26 points net
higher.
Offerings continmd very light and
the market showed increased firm
ness during the caily afterivjon
when there appeared to be. some
fresh trade and commission house
buying as well as fnrtehr coverin 1.
March sold up to 33.57 and May
33.82, or 50 to 54 points net higher,
and prices were within four or five
points of the best around two
o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTIN
NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 23.—Th?
first impulse in. the cotton market
today was to buy on the good cable?,
but after a few points advance sell
ing increased because ginning figuie.,
of 9,946,462 bale?} as the output to
January 16 were somewhat larger
than private estimates. The selling
drove prices five to fifteen points un
der the last sales of yesterday. When |
it was realized that the ginning fig- ;
ures hardly pointed to a total ciop |
as large as" 10,100,000 bales new buy- |
ing came in and it quickly lifted
prices. At the end of the first half
hour of trading the active months
were 25 t o 30 points higher than the
close of yesterday. March traded as
low as 33.01 cents a pound and as
high as 33.41; October traded as low
as 27.28 and as high as 27.63.
private reports of almost, general
over Texas and complaints of
Extreme backwardness of farm woi k
in that state increased the demand
materially and caused much shot t
covering. Toward noon March was
up ft) 33.64 and October to 27.75.
Here the list showed net gains of
42 to 50 points.
The early afternoon saw small re
cessions, but the late trading
brought the strongest market ot
the day. Professional traders ap
peared to be working for a higher
close and the interior sent in buying
orders, apparently on prospects of
caotinued bad weather in most
states. March rose to 33.75, at
which price the list stood 42 to 61
points up. October did not make
a new high.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLT JOURNAL
|'| ' 1 GRAIN
BY GEORGE C. SCHNACKEL
i (Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Theje was little
change in prices of wheat today. The mar
ket had a dip at the opening, but prices
rallied under buying by active local traders
and later ■ the advance in corn had a
strengthening effect. On this advance there
was more or less realizing, and this re
lieved the congested pit condition. Senti
ment is growing more bullish among the
local traders, and they need little enconr
| agement to take on wheat. The small pri-
I maty movement, in their opinion, offsets
! the big supply of wheat in the visible stocks.
I There seems to be a more encouraging out
i look for German finances. The death t-f
; Premier Lenine may lead to internal strife
in Russia, and this would naturally put
I that country out of the export trade. These
I factors are receiving the closest of atten
• tion from the professional trader. Only a
j moderate export business was reported. For-
I eign exchange rates-were easier, and this
impairs buying power. Milling demand was
slow.
Wheat .closed unchanged to 'ic lower;
May. S1.,08%(?/1.0'J; July. $ 1.07'- 4 ft 1.07% ;
September, $ 1.06 1 1.
A flurry in corn was recorded about mid
session, and Mty delivery reached a new
high point for Ibe season. 'There was peix
sisteiit buying ftom the start, and most of
it was by eastern houses. Resting orders to
sell May at B<> certs cheeked the advance for
quite a time, but the buying was broad
enough to finally force the market to that
level, Cash corn was stronger under a more
active local demand. Shipping demand was
slow. Receipts show a moderate increase.
Corn dosed %«(%(• higher; May, 79% @
79%c; July, BO’i@SO!&c, May 81c.
Oats were affected by the strength in
corn, and good gains were recorded, espe
cially in the May. Shipping demand showed
a little improvement.

IWBE UNDMOD
TO STOMP GEORGIA
William G. McAdoo and .Tames A.
Reed, certainly, and possibly Oscar
W*. Underwood, all aspirants for the*
Democratic presidential nomination,
will address the voters of Georgia
probably during the latter part of
February or early in March.
As a native Georgian, Mr. McAdoo
hopes to attend the home-coming cel
ebration in Cobb county, to which
he has been invited. It is his de
sire, also, to visit Milledgeville, the
scene of his boyhood; and there de
liver an address.
The former cabinet, officer outlined
these desires in a. telegram received
Tuesday morning by Thomas J. Ham
ilton. of Augusta, who has been
elected state chairman of the Mc-
Adoo-For-President Club ot Georgia.
Mr. Hamiltqn plans to open head
quarters in Atlanta, immediately, and
announced that an active campaign
will be waged in Mr. McAdoo s can
didacy.
At the Underwood headquarters
in the Kimball house, it was stated
Tuesday morning that Senator Un
derwood’s campaign is in fine shape.
His campaign committee, it was an
nounced, has perfected a state organ
ization that has met with much en
couragement.- It is possible that
the senator may visit Georgia be
fore the presidential primary to ad
dress the voters in Atlanta or else
where.
At the office of ex-Governor Thom
as W. Hardwick it was announced
that Senator James A. Reed's friends
will wage for him an active campaign
m Georgia, and that the senator will
visit Georgia during the latter part
of February or early in March for
six or eight speeches.
Mr. Hardwick declared Senator
Reed probably will deliver addresses
in Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, Au
gusta,. Athens, Rome and Gaines
ville.
It is understood that Mr. Hard
wick and his associates, after an in
formal conference on Monday, are
preparing the issuance of a state
ment to the people of Georgia in be
half of Senator Reed's candidacy.
Judge James J. Flynt, of Griffin;
Mayor Walter A. Sims, of Atlanta;
former State Senator James H. Boy
kin, of Lincolnton, and J. B. Daniel,
of LaGrange, were among those who
attended the conference.
Dog Stands Guard
While Aged Couple
Commits Suicide
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 22.—A
bull dog stood guard while an aged
couple committed suicide by swallow
ing poison in the shabby quarters of
an old rooming house here early to
day.
Neighbors who heard the groans
of Mr. and Mrs. Myron Sherman,
tried to enter the rooms to aid the
cot-pie. but the dog growled and
snarled his disapproval. When police
arrived the two Were dead and the
dog allowed them to enter.
The Shermans were without food
and money for the rent, which was
due today, neighbors said. They
came here from Omaha three years
ago. Sherman was the prosperous
proprietor of a saloon in Council
Bluffs, lowa, five years ago, it was
said.
Women to Shave Heads
London. Sir Arthur Keith, the
world’s greatest anthropologist, has
found that the human head is get
ting longer and the jaw narrower.
But more interesting than that fact
is his prediction that if the present
tendency in hair fashions is follow
ed to its (natural conclusion another
century will .see women’s heads
shaven and curls adorning men’s
heads.

Light Live Stock Runs
Continue; Hog Trade
Is Uneven and Slow
BY L. C. GRUNDELAND
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright. 1924. J
UNION STOCKYARDS, Chicago (Tues
day), Jan. 22.—Light runs were again re
ported in all branches of the live stock trade
today. For the first two days of the week
the totals also fell short of a week ago.
Big packers had abput 1,300 sheep for
warded from other markets, while only a
load or so of cattle and no hogs arrived that
way. In the hog house about 17,500 were
held over from the day before, but the trade
showed strength from the start. Nearly
500 of the reported 1,250 cars were "back”
at the opening of the market.
Receipts were 13,000 cattle, 45,000 hogs,
8,000 sheep and 3,000 calves.
Fully steady prices were obtained for
choice steers. Shippers were in the trade
for steers at $9.50 and up. They also took
a consignment of Nebraska cattle at $9.60@
10.00. Good yearlings sold at $11.75 and
some 1.225-pound steers went si $10.75.
Plain steers, steady to weak. Cows and
heifers sold slowly at generally steady
prices. Calf trade showed strength, some
going Z to shippers at $12.00 on a 25-cent
higher market.
Ilog trade was a little uneven. The best
butchers sold well at prices that were 10@
15c higher, but big killers paid only steady
values for packing stock in many cases.
Top hogs remained at $7.35, but this was a
dime above yesterday’s best, figure. Bulk
of packing bogs went al $6,656/6.85. The
trade was slow and sellers had many un
sold lots at lhe close. Shippers were out
after choice fat lambs from the start, and
they paid fully steady values. Bulk of
choice animals went over at $13.50@13.90,
but city bittellers again paid $14.00 f<>r top
lots. Feeders sold at $13.00 for the best
on a good and steady market. Aged mut
tons sold well, with some light ewes at
$8.25.

Alabamian Acquitted
In Cotton Fraud Case
ANNISTON, Ala., Jan. 22.—The
closing chapter in the famous Sav
age Cotton company case, in which
North Carolina textile concerns
were allaged to have been defraud
ed out of several hundred thousand
dollars by use of false bills of lad
ing. was written in federal court
here Monday when Solon E. Graham
of Talladega, Ala., was found not
guilty by a jury of a charge of con
spiracy and using the mails to de
fraud.
Graham was convicted in 1920
along with D. H. Riddle, Talladega
attorney; W. O. Wooten, A. M. Sav
age. T. Astjohn, W. A. Savage, W.
G. Hardy, and fined $1,200 and sen
tenced to thirteen months in federal
penitentiary. The case was re
versed by the federal court at New
Orleans on Graham's appeal.

of Lenin© to result in any immediate
radical change in conditions in Rus-j
sia or in the conduct of that conn- -
try's foreign policy.
Actual control, both of the political ;
machinery and of governmental I
agencies in Russia, is expected to be i
confirmed in the hands of a tj’iurnvi-j
rate headed by Kamenev, vice presi- i
dent both of the soviet of people's;
commissars and of the federation of i
soviet republics. Kamenev has been ,
exercising, in an acting capacity,'
most of the powers of Lenine since
the latter’s illness virtually incapaci- !
fated him many months ago.
Gradually since Lenine’s illness I
drew him out of the- active circle, a j
division of opinion has arisen within I
the communist party as to whether I
there should continue a dictatorship.!
witn political power vested in the I
hands of a few men, or whether the J
source of power should be drawn!;
from a much wider field and be more
that of a representative government.
Trotzky, until a comparatively
short time, agreed that a strong cen
tralized government, with power in
the hands of a few men, afforded the
best form of governmental machin
ery. Gradually, as opinion within (
the communist party began to di
verge on the point, however, Trotzky
leaned to the other side, and, in re
cent months, has been disclosed as
the leader ot the democratization
group. In that capacity he waged
battle only a. short time ago in the
communist party conferences and
was decisively defeated by the Ka
manev-Slalin-Ziqoviev group.
In effect, all of the political devel
opments of the last few months in
Russia, although screened for a long
time by the remarkably close control
exercised by the communist party,
are regarded here as discounting the
political importance of the passing
of Lenine, and as having brought al
ready into effect the readjustments I
that might otherwise have been ex- '
pected to follow his death.

and the latter, commenting on
Roosevelt’s testimony, was quoted as
saying: "If there was any irregu
larity in the oil lease, I know noth- I
ing- about it." He said he planned to
leave for Washington after a visit
there for several days. Former Sec |
retary Fall also issued a statement j
at New Orleans yesterday flatly as- !
serting that Sinclair had never |
‘‘loaned or given me a penny in any
way.”
FALL TO LEAVE AT ONCE

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.—Albert
B. Fall, former secretary of the in
terior, will leave tonight or tomor
row morning for Washington to ap
pear before the senate public lands
committee investigating the Teapot
Dome oil lease, he informed newspa-
I per men this afternoon.
Mr. Fall’s decision came imme

phone conversation with someone in
Washington, in which it was stated
he asked for permission to take his
wife, who is ill. to their home in El
Paso, Tex., before reporting to
Washington, as ordered in a sub
poena. I
‘‘Circumstances-will not permit me j
taking my family home,” he said,
after the conversation. “Mrs. Fall
is too ill to travel, and will remain
in New Orleans with my two daugh
ters for a while before going to El
Paso, while I shall depart either to
night or tomorrow for Washington.”
The former secretary said it would '

NEVER GAVE FALL MONEY.
SINCLAIR SAYS IN ENGLAND
PLYMOUTH, England. Jan. 22.—“1
never gave any money to Fall,”
Harry F. Sinclair said today upon
his arrival here on the French liner
Paris.
Sinclair further denied that he had
left New York secretly as alleged by
Archie Roosevelt in testimony before
the senate committee.
“I left New York openly,” Sinclair
said.
“I have no desire to avoid testify
ing before the senate committee. On
the contrary, I am ready to appear
whenever asked.”
The high points of the story told
by Roosevelt before the committee,
were told to Sinclair, but he denied
there were grounds for the charge
that he had given Fall money or
sought to leave the United States
secretly.
Sinclair's present plans are to re
main in Europe for four or five
weeks, he said.

who discussed the proposed trip. The
witness testified that in conversation
with Lancaster after the lynching
the defendant told him that Baird
was “hard to handle.” The witness
stiid that Lancaster, in this pur
'ported conversation, asserted that It
was necessary “to hit Baird in the
head” to subdue him. The testl-_
motiy of the witness brought to a
startling climax what had been a
drab and ordinary proceeding.
The defense objected to every
question of the state, and Judge Al
mon overruled objections.
Hartley testified that he first
heard of the plot to lynch Baird ten
days before the lynching took place.
He named the eight defendants as
among those who discussed the
lynching of 1 Baird. The night before
the lynching, Hartley testified, Lan
caster applied for an automatic rifle
and ten extra rounds of ammuni
tion.
