Tri-Weekly Market Reports
J COTTON
NEW YORK, Jan. 24—A further
advance in the cotton market dur
ing today’s early trading met a good
deal of realizing and after selling at
33.98, March reacted to 33.70. The
general market opened steady at a
decline of 3 points to an advance of
1U points. There were a few over
r.’gl't selling orders around the ring,
brought in by the advance of yes
terday, Lut Liverpool made a very
firm showing and prices here soon
showed net advances of 10 to 22
points on the active months as a re
sult of covering, trade and commis
sion house buying. May sold up to
34.20 but selling became more active
at this figure and the market broke
some 25 or 30 points-from the best
within the first hour. Private cables
reported a more bullish sentiment in
Liverpool owing partly to a nior ®
optimistic feeling over the railroad
strike and political situation.
The early realizing sales were ab
sorbed on reactions to 33.67 tot
March and 33.5 S for May, and the
market showed .renewed firmness
later on bullish spot advices and en
. con raging reports from Liverpool
and Manchester. March sold up to
34.15 and May to 34.40 or 30 to 38
points net higher and the maikct
was within a point or two of the
best around midday. Part of the
buying was supposed to represent
further price fixing for the trade,
while there was active covering and
some fresh commission house de
mand.
Demand tapered off after the
mid-tidy advance and trading was
quieter during the early afternoon
with prices sagging off under real
izing. March sold down to 33.83
and May to 34.05, or about 30 to 3o
points from the best, and prices
were within a few points of these
figures around 2 o'clock.

NEW ‘ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 24. —
After small advances on the open
ing today, in response to higher
cables than due, the cotton market
fell off to net losses of 14 to 21
points under what rooked like realiz
ing sales by recent buyers. As prices
softened a new demand came in and
by the end of the first half-hour of
business the list was 3 to 10 points
over the close of yesterday. March
traded as low as 33 79 and as high
as 3-1.10; October fell to 27.65 and
lea'cted to 27.82. Much of the buy
ing was based on the wet weather
over nearly the entire cotton region
and on more cheerful English ac
counts of political and trade condi
tions in that country.
Reports to brokers here from
Texas spot markets and ports that
the demand for spots on the part
of foreign buyerfi was increasing and
fiat shippers were finding it dilli
cult to get all the ocean freight
room they needed for January and
February sailing, increased the de
, maud for contracts. Late in the
■ morning March was up 34.28 and
' October was up to 27.94. At these
"prices the list was 15 to 28 points
higher than the last sales of yester-
Realizing sales from the long side
checked the upward movement of
prices and destroyed the steady tone.
The market turned very weak fol
lowing the receipt by brokers hete
of cablegrams from London stating
that the railroad workers had an
nounced that their strike must con
tinue, thus dispelling hopes of an
early settlement. At 1:30 o clock
prices were, of fto 33.63 for March
and 27.54 for October, with the list
25 to 37 points under the final sales
of yesterday.

I CHICAGO, Jan. 24. —Wheat had a twen
ty-minute spurt activity today ami then
trade died Gown. The activity came at the
start of tbe session. President Coolidge's
message to congress asking for aid to the
' farmer caused some buying and frightened
. shorts into ' covering. While sentiment is
bullish that, side of the market lacks any
’ leadership and therefore individuals are a
• little slow in taking an active part in the
market. There was a little improvement
hi export demand along with the better-
' inent in rates of exchange for sterling anil
! lire. Belgian and French francs were again
lower. Domestic milling demand was mod
erate with a few bids received slightly
under the market. Offerings of eash wheat
' on the spot market were a little larger
and buyers attempted to reduce trading
basis.

There was a srtong tone at the start with

I ing notes. The advance, however, brought
lout pressure from commission house longs
for profit and by local professionals who
' ' believed that the present upward move
’ incut had culminated Receipts showed a
little improvement and there was talk of
increased consignments. Offerings to ar

cussing the proposed change.

party since he arrive din Washing
ton early Thursday.
Note from Smoot
“Did Senator Smoot hand you a
note as you were entering the com
mittee room?" asked Senator Walsh.
“May we see it?” pursued Senator
Walsh.
“Certainly,” said the witness s he
fished out of h's pocket a number of
tiny scraps of paper. He explained
that he had torn up the note.
Senator Smoot said he would tell
the committee wltift was in it, but
Doheny interjected that there was a
single sentence.
“After you get through here I
would like to see you in my room.’’
When Doheny conceded under
questioning that it would be but nat
ural for Fall to be predisposed in his
favor, Chairman Lenroot wanted to
know whether Doheny would not be
willing therefore to turn back his
lease to the government. The wit
ness said he had offered to do that,
but Chairman Lenroot said his of
fer was conditioned on the basis of
a finding of facts by experts.
In view of Mr. Doheny's testimony,
Mr. Fall will be questioned when he
appears Friday regarding his state
ment of December v? to the commit
tee in which he said:
“It should be needless for me to
say that in the purchase of the Har
ris ranch or in any other purchase
or expenditure, I have never ap
proached E. L. Doheny or any one
connected with him.”
Concurrently with the appearance
of the former secretary before the
committee, the senate will be debat
ing a resolution to cancel the Teapot
Dome oil lease to the Sinclair inter
ests, which by unanimous consent
was placed today on the senate cal
endar. Efforts probably will be made
to incorporate also a provision for
cancellation of the Doheny lease, and
a demand on President Coolidge to
institute court proceedings.
Under further questioning, Doheny
revealed that he had searched dili
gently for the Fall note at Los An
geles, but had been unable to find
it. He added, however, that “the
note is not lost.” He said he had
carried it around with him in his
brief case for some time after he
had received it.
Senator Pittman. Democrat, Ne
vada, suggested that this was a
rather unusual procedure, and ifsked
if he attached much value to it.
“I attached SIOO,OOO value to it,”
was the response.
After being’ on the stand exactly
three hours, Doheny was excused
with the understanding’ that he
would make a search in New York
for the Fall noteand the SIOO,OOO
check and present them to the com
mittee at the earliest opportunity.

SEMTOU GEORGE |
DEMSiS MESS
FOR SOUTH S POSTS)
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Senator ■
Walter F. George, of Georgia, filed ;
vigorous protest Thursday afternoon ;
with the recently reorganized emer- i
gency fleet corporation because of
its failure and refusal to give South ’
Atlantic ports the same export rates
as North Atlantic ports. Senator
George said that this action by th.?
emer.' y fleet corporation wifi
nullify export rates to southern ports
on large movements of European
traffic from central western points.
Senator George also protested to
the interstate commerce coinmis
sion against favorable consideration
of the petition filed by the Boston
Chamber of Commerce and allied as
sociations of Boston and Massachu
setts to intervene in the complaint
of the South Atlantic ports. The
s ut'.ei po: are seeking to have
import rates istabiished from those
to the middle west not in excess of
those maintained from Baltimore
and Norfolk. It is believed that
Great inroads would necessarily be
made into the volume of commerce
passing through South Atlantic and
Georgia ports, if the petition filed
by the Boston Chamber of Com- I
merce and allied associations of |
Boston and Massachusetts is grant
ed.
President Coolidge having given
his approval to the Norbeck bill,'!
which will create the ‘federal agri-;
cultural diversifications committee’ :
with power to lend directly to farm-,
ers in the wheat belt, sums not ex-1
ceedingf'sl,ooo at a low rate of in
terest and for a long term, for the
purchase of live stock, including
dairy and neef cattle hogs and poul
try, Senator George has given no
tice that he will offer an amendment
extending the same benefits to farm
ers- in the cotton belt. The senator
points out r hat the one-crop system
prevails in large measure in many
portions of the cotton belt and that
the condition of the cotton farmer
lias been aggravated by low yield
and high cost of production. The
condition of the southern cotton
farmer does not materially differ
from that of the wheat grower in
the west.
Prison Board Hears
74 Cases; Clemency
Recommended in 22
The Georgia prison commission
Thursday completed the considera
tion of seventy-four cases, and'an
nounced that fifty-two of the appli
cations had been declined. The rec
ords were sent to Governor Walker
for review by him, together with
recommendations for clemency in
the other twenty-two cases.
Os the twenty-two cases in which
clemency was recommended, not one
was for a pardon. Paroles were rec
ommended in eighteen cases, com
mutations in three cases, and proba
tion in one case. There were no
capital cases involved, and none of
the paroles or commutations in
volved a case of general interest,
prison commissioners stated.
NEW METHOD t
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 I his
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 us
comfortable as a fight garment. It
has enabled hundreds of persons to
throw away trusses and declare their
rupture absolutely healed. Many of
these had serious double ruptures, i
from which they had suffered for ■
years. It is Dr. Andrews' ambition
to have every ruptured person en
joy the quick relief, comfort and
healing power 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 Bidg.,
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 ’he doc
tor’s free offer. Write him today.

TEXTBOOK CHANGES
‘ BECAUSE OF PRICES
Because all the bids were from 50
: to 100 per cent higher than those
i received five year's ago, the Georgia
i board of education made only thir
teen changes in its list of thirty-nine
■ text books for the common schools
of the state, at a meeting held late
I Wednesday, according to an an
nouncement made by Dr. N. If. Bal
lard, state school superintendent.
Dr. Ballard declared that the pub-
■ lishers could give no reason that was
satisfactory to the board for the
great increase in prices, and he ex
pressed the hope that this would be
the last time the state board would
be required to make a five-year con
tract, as required by the present state
school law.
“I do not believe the five-year con
tract saves the school patrons of
Georgia one dollar,” Dr. Ballard said.
“In fact the publishers told m? that
they could not sell 100,000 books at
