Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, March 17.—The cot
ton market opened firm at an ad
vance of 20 to 45 points on contin
ued buying which had developed to
ward the end of last week and was
found additional encouragement in
the firmer showing of today’s Liver
pool cables and unfavorable weather
reports from the south. May con
tracts sold at 20.70 and October ar.
26.16. Therese prices attracted
realizing but the offerings were
readily absorbed an setbacks of ten
Or twenty points and rhe market
’ showed a xtiy steady undertone dur
ing -he early trading. Private ca
blees reported the firmness in Liver
pool was due to small offerings and
covering on the firmer statitistical
position and a spot demand.
Trading was quieter but the mar
ket held generally steady later: May
contracts, which had eased off to
29.47 under the early realizing, ral
lied to 29.63 and the general market
ruled from 23 to 33 points net highei
around midday. Houses with Liver
pool connections were buyers here
and the advance was accompanied
by reports cf a better spot demand
In the south both for export and
southern mills. Advices received
from the southwest said more cot
ton had been sold in the Texas mar
kets during the past week than for
a full month previously.
The market turned easier during
the earlj' afternoon under increased
realizing and liquidation by buyers.
May sold off to 29.05 and October
25.80 with the market at net declines
of about 7 to 10 points around 2
O'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, March 17.—The
Cotton market had a firm opening,
first trades showing gains over the
previous close of 24 to 26 points. Liv
erpool was very much better than i
due, and cables reported a better feel
ing and a scarcity of contracts.
Prices continued to move upward
after the opening. May traded up
to 29.71 or 42 points above Saturday’s
cicse and October to 25.64 or 29
points up. At the end of the first
half hour active old crop months
Were about 10 points off from the
early high.
Alley ruling steady for a time,
Shorts being intimated by the bad
weather, and .July making a new
high at 28.80, the market eased off
moderately, owing to some uneasi
ness as to what the hibernation re
port on the weevil by the Tallulah
government station might show.
May eased off to 29.47, July to 28.57
and October to 25.49 or 15 to 24
points down from the earlier highs.
The market then became very quiet
with fluctuations within a narrow
range. As noon approached the ten
dency was toward a slight recovery
but there was little trading.
The market turned easier in the
afternoon on fears that the report
from Tallulah on the hibernation of
the weevil might prove bearish. The
report was due today but it will not
likely be issued until after the close.
The selling largely by ring traders
was increased by reports of weak
ness in the stock market in New*
York "owing to the probable early
passage of the bonus bill. There
Was said to be more or less trade
buying at the decline. On the break
May traded down to 29.12, .July to
28.25 and October to 25.26, or 38 to
59 points down from the earlier
highs ami 9 to 17 bcl.w Saturday’s
close.

THE ATLANTA TKI-ULEKLY JOUKNAL
| GRAIN
I CHICAGO (Monday), March 17. —
I The wheat market today was a nar
row affair ami it was quick to re
spond to the small orders.
A little buying and a lack of of
ferings gave the market a higher
I start. Prices dropped over a cent
in the next hour selling credited to
1 eastern interests. In the meantime
spreaders bought here against sates
in the northwest and this took the
slack out of the market. When a
little commission house selling de
veloped on the dip the market re
covered nearly all of the earlier de
cline.
| ■ Liverpool strength was in the
! nearby months due to buying by lo- i
! cal merchants who fear the effect :
| of the settlement of the reparations
| question on values. There is little
doubt that the settlement will re
sult in increased buying power of
foodstuffs and possible advance
values.
Primary receipts exceeded those
of a year ago. V isible supply de
creased only 750,000 bushels. There
was heavy snowfall over the winter
whei t territory which will greatly
benefit the plant. Milling demand
for wheat was quiet. Fair export
business was developed over Sun
day.
Wheat closed 1-4 cent higher. May
.106 1-2 to 5-8; July 107 3-8 to 1-2;
September 108.
Corn was higher at the start un
der local buying and light offerings.
The bulge brought out some selling
and later locals sold. The bull ring
of local professionals bought and
there was some profit taking by
shorts. The heavy snow fall will
further retard farm work and in
terior marketing of corn. Visible
supply increased 2,595.000 bushels
last week. Shipping demand oyer
night was slow. Consignment no
tices continue fair.
Corn closed 3-4 to 1 1-8 cents high
er. May 78 5-8 to 3-4; July 79 7-8 to
3-4; September 80 1-4.
Oats held fair. There was little
pressure to sell while the continued
delay in seeding operations is in
creasing buying power. Visible sup
ply increased 40,000 bushels last
week. Shipping demand slowed up.
Oats showed gains of 3-4 to 1 1-8
cents on short covering; May 47 1-8
to 1-4; July 45 1-2; September 42 5-8.
Provisions were under pressure
from commission houses because of
the bearish hog situation.
Lard closed 5 to 7 1-2 cents lower
and ribs 2 1-2 io 7 1-2 cents lower.

I WASHINGTON, March 15. Far
I more significant than appears on the
I surface is the willingness of Ameri
| can bankers to lend France $100,000,-
•000 and the readiness of the United
I States government to approve the
i proposal indirectly.
I The government takes no respon
isibility for any loans made by pri
! vate bankers to foreign governments
jor any dot: estic enterprise, however
worthy the motive, but there does
I exist an informal understanding Oe
i tween the bankers and the depart
jrnent of state that no loans will oe
made without giving the government
I here an opportunity to interpose an
iobjection. This policy was adopted
in order to prevent American funds
from being used to support armies
and navies abroad, and as a means
of diverting money to reconstruction
and commercial needs only.
Since that policy was announced,
no large loans have been made to
any of the allied powers except Ja
pan, who needed the money for re
construction following the earth
quake. Loans to smaller countries
have been negotiated, but the loan
to France is the first since President
Harding and Secretary Hughes asked
the bankers to submit their loans to
the government for examination be
fore being made.
The lending of $100,000,000 to
France is not in itself a large trans
action, as loans have been reckoned
in the past, but being made at this
time when the experts are finishing
their reports on reparations and the
German budget it has a far-reaching
importance.
J. P. Morgan & Co. acted as fiscal
agents for the British government
before America entered the war, and
floated a large loan for France rince
the war. Through their Frenen
banking connections, they are kepi
in close touch with affairs in Paris,
and they do not make a loan cf SIOO,-
000,000 without assuring themselves
about the future of France’s finances.
The loan itself is an evidence of con
fidence, and just now there can be
no confidence in the future of any
thing in Europe unless French policy
toward reparations is thoroughly de
fined. There are reports that the
Morgan interests were assured that
the recommendations to be made by
the commission of experts headed by
Charles G. Dawes will be accepted by
France. It will be recalled that J.
P. Morgan himself sat as an adviser
to the reparations committee two
years ago, and that the present ef
fort to compose the financial situa
tion in Europe is directly in line with
the gave at the time.
If the .Dawes report is accepted—
and it looks as if it will be, as of
ficials of the government here are
optimistic—the next step will be to
provide a loan for Germany. Out
of that loan some advances in repa
ration payments to the allies un
doubtedly will be made. The loan
would have to be floated by private
bankers, too, and again the United
States government will have an op
portunity indirectly to approve. The
government has no legal right to ob
ject to any loans by private bankers,
but the weight of its disapproval is a
moral factor which few bankers
would care to incur.
Broadly speaking, the impression
one gets here, especially since the
Morgan loan was announced, is that
European affairs at last are on the
mend, and that important develop
ments may be looked for in the next
several months which may have
their reflex in increased purchases
of American farm products and man
ufactured goods, because, as the fis
cal situation is improved, foreign
currencies will have a greater pur
chasing power.
Carolinian to Urge
Further Limitation
Os Naval Forces
WASH INGTON, March 15 —Rep
resentative Byrnes, of South Caro
lina. ranking Democrat on the sub
committee that framed -the naval ap
propriation bill .told the house to- I
day he would offer an amendment {
requesting President Coolidge to J
call a conference on further limita- |
cion of naval armament.
“So far as naval armament is eon- i
cerned," said Mr. Byrnes, “the Wash- I
ington conference merely changed •
the form of naval competition. It '
did not eliminate it.
“President Harding urged the sen
ate to ratify the. proposal to adhere j
to the world court. The churches ;
of America set apart a week last ;
November when meetings were held '
throughout the nation urging that :
we agree to it. Leaders of both
parties urged favorable action, but
up to this time President Coolidge
has done nothing to secure action I
by the senate, and when five years !
after the armistice this country has '
failed to take definite action toward j
any proposal seeking to settle inter-!
national disputes by arbitration in
stead of by the sword we cannot |
wonder that the women of America
ask whether the cradles of today will I
fill the trenches of tomorrow.”
Mr. Byrnes recalled that naval ap
propriations in 1916 amounled to
$157,000,000, while 1 lie bill under con
sideration carries $298.000.000.

Republican administration, Mr. Mc-
Adoo delivered a scathing denuncia
tion of the party under the control
of which such conditions are pos
sible.
“The oil scandal is exclusively the
property of the Republican jjarty,”
he declared. “No one else is respon
sible. The Democratic party turned
over the government oil lands to the
Republicans, and the Democrats can
ba guilty only of placing such a
temptation before a weak and un
scrupulous administration.”
“The Democratic party must be
progressive if it is to accomplish
a mission for America. There is
not room for two reactionary parties
in this country. The Republican
party, typifying reactionary policies
in the extreme sense of the word,
has outworn its usefulness. We
Democrats must stand for reform,
not radical changes that would up
set economic conditions and bring
about internal chaos, but sound, ra
tional, progressive reform that
brooks no compromise with expedi
ency.”
Hundreds Shake His Ha ml
Hundreds of Mr. McAdoo’s ad
mirers crowded upon the stage to
shake his hand as his speech con
cluded amid a storm of applause. It
was a remarkable ovation and he
was deeply stirred by the enthusi
am his appearance and his speech
had aroused. At length he was able
to leave the auditorium and make
his way to his train, en route to
Macon, where he spoke in the city
auditorium at 10:30 Saturday morn
ing, being scheduled to leave there
for Savannah shortly after noon to
address another gathering in Sa
vannah Saturday night.
out. as they probably will.
Mr. Sapp has decided to plant a
“liberty tree” when the state conven
tion of the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics is held here in
August, and he wants a part of the
ground of everw»state to help cover
the roots of the tree, so he's writ
ten to the central city of every state
in the union, including an addressed,
stamped envelope, requesting that
two ounces of dirt be sealed in the
envelope and that it be returned to
him. In the letter he outlines the
plans he has made. He has sent
similar requests to every county in
Georgia.

Engaged Her to Help-
Investigate Caraway
DALLAS, Tex., March 15—lama
Jacobson, former secretary to I'ni'?y.l
: States Senator William F. Kirby, of
Arkansas, told her f e today how she
had been hired by Gaston L*. Means
and asked to investigate Senator
Caraway, of Arkansas.
Miss Jacobson said Means asked
j her to make a special trip to Arkan-
I sas to get information on Senator
' Caraway.
“I did not go to Arkansas.” the
woman said, “although I gave Means
the names of. other resiclims of the
state who could supply the informa
tion he wanted.”
Means said in testifying before the
senate committee investigating At
| torney General Daugherty yesterday
that he had investigated Senator
i Caraway when the latter attacked
I the attorney general.
“When I quit Means’ employ 1
I had some salary coming which I
| tried to collect.” Miss Jacobson con
j tinned. “William J. Burns wrote
! me that Means was never authorized
j to investigate Senator Caraway.”

CONFESSED Sffl
OF HFIO
IN MM MSE
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 15.—A
charge of murder against William
Gates, confessed slayer of Richard
Heaton in an alleged “torture cham.
her” was dismissed late today fol
lowing Gates’ arraignment in police
court. Gates was held under $3,000
bond for South Carolina officials
after he had been served with war
rants charging he was a fugitive
from justice.
According to Gates’ testimony, he
shut Heaton last Saturday night
after he had been kidnaped and held
prisoner in a room in which the
slain man was preparing io force
his captive to submit to a mutuation
operation for purposes of jealous re
venge.
Cross-examination of the defend
ant brought out that he had accom
panied Heaton on various trips to
Houston, Texas; New Orleans ai)d
South Carolina in search of men
the slain man suspected of having
attempted to “wreck his home.”
Gates testified during the cross
examination that he accompanied
Heaton on a trip to South Carolina
some time around last Christmas.
“Did you find any of these men
whom Heaton said had wronged
him?” Gates was asked.
“Yes, one.”
“Was his name Wald?”
“I think it was.”
Questioned as to whether the ob
ject of the search in South Carolina
came to harm at his hands, Gates an.
swc-rcl in the negative and added
that he was at no time in any “great
danger of physical violence.”
Gates also denied he conspired
with Frank Cordell. Indianapolis de
tective, to blackmail Heaton in con-
