Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON |
NEW YORK. Aug. 30. —A mod- I
erate early advance was followed by |
declines in the cotton market todaj
as a result of southern selling and
realizing. December contracts sold
off from 24.97 to 24.35 and closed
24.35, the general market closing
easy at net declines of 27.47 points.
The market opened at a decline of
8 to 16 points under real zing by re
cent buyers, but soon strengthened
on further covering promoted by ap
prehensions that the tropical storm
might assume threatening propor
tions over the week-end and contin
ued reports of crop deterioration. Ac
tive months sold about 19 to 30 ,
points het higher before this demand
was supplied, October advancing to
25.30, and January to 24.95.
At these figures, however, offer
ings increased slightly with southern
selling here accompanied by reiterat
ed reports of an easing spot basis.
Considerable profit-taking also was
promoted by reports of rains in Geor
gia, with lower temperatures in the
southwest. Otherwise, selling was
held in check by continued uncer
tainty as to the further course of
the trdpical disturbance, but prices
worked off to 24.64 for October and
24.30 for January in the late trad
ing, or about 40 to 47 points net
lower.
General business was quiet enough
to suggest that the market had been
previously pretty welj evened up for
over Labor day. A private crop re
port placing the condition at 59.9
and the indicated yield at 12,100,000
bales attracted comparatively little
comment, but many have accounted
for some of the early covering, in
connection with reports from Man
chester that cotton goods trade pros
pects were the best in four years.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance was estimated at
70,703 bales against 84.966 last year.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30.—The
cotton market developed a fair de
gree of activity today for a short
Saturday session. The trading was
largely on an evening-up character
in advance of the double holiday
and the fact that although American
markets will be closed Monday for
the Labor day holiday, Liverpool
will be open on that, day as usual.
Fluctuations were frequent and
broad. After opening a few points
down and declining to 24.22 for Oc
tober and 24.34 for December, or
10 points under the finals of yes
terday, the market advanced on lib
eral buying and short covering, Oc
tober being forced up to 24.75, De-j
cember to 24.70, and January to;
$24.75 or 33 to 36 points above the;
early lows. The market then turned
easy and declined on profit-taking
and selling in anticipation of liberal
selling orders of hedges over the
holiday. October dropped to 23.95,
December to 24.08 and January to
24.18, or 57 to 62 points down from
the day’s highs.
The close was near the bottom
showing net losses for the day of
33 to 36 points. Although many re
/ ports of rapid deterioration of the
crop continued to come in and a
New Y'ork authority issued an esti
mate of only 12,100,000 bales based
on a condition of 59.9, which was
largely responsible for the early
advance on buying by speculators,
the tendency finally was to liquidate
in advance of the double holidays,
early buyers saw an opportunity to
take profits, and longs generally
took advantage of the early bulge
to liquidate. y
Owing to the increasing move
ment it is thought selling orders
will accumulate over the holidays
and traders feared that the Liver
pool, market would decline while
Americaji markets are closed on
Monday. As a result there was a
burst of selling in the second hour
of trading and all the. early gain
was lost and considerably more be
sides.
The tropical storm was, at last
reports, north of Porto Rico, moving
rather slowly northwestward.

Weekly Butter Review
ClllCAc**?. Aug. 30. —Condition:,
were unsettled with storage stocks
increasing and production contin.i
ing to be heavy in the butter mar
ket during the week.
Supplies of all grades were short
at Chicago and barely sufficient to
satisfy buyers' needs, but on the
eastern markets the shortage was
principally on the finer high scoring
grades with the medium and undec
grades showing a slight aeeumula
tion. f
Trade statisticians predicted that
September 1 storage holdings will
have a surplus of 50.000,000 to 53.-
000.000 pounds over the holdings of
September 1. 1923. During the we?ir
storage stocks were increased 1,500,-
000 pourtj*«.
Although pastures still are good
and conducive to good production,
the hot w—it her of the week was fa
vorable to ■’•reeding flies and mosq'.i'.
toes, which in some sections caused
a dirhinuation of the milk flow. Pros
ptets generally for a heavy fall mak,
are good.
Possibility of export business de
veloping had a bullish influence. No

THE ATLANTA TRLWE
I GRAIN I!
I I
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—Inactivity
and easiness ruled the grain pits to
day, speculative interest being at a
low ebb during the greater part of
the season, which took on the char
acter of a pre-holiday. Toward the
finish trade picked up, with consid
erable evening up because of the
Monday holiday. At the finish
wheat was 1-4 cent to 1 1-8 cent row
er, with September $1,23 1-4 to
$1,23 3-8 and December $1,28 1-2 to
$1,28 5-8; corn gained 1-8 cent to
1 1-4 cents; oats lost 1-8- to 7-8 cent,
and provisions varied from 10 cents
decline to 20 cents advance.
The signing of the Dawes plan by
Germany and the other interested
powers, together with the strength
in Liverpool quotations, failed to
give the wheat market the' strong
tone here which had been looked for
by bull traders. The market, how
evejs showed a fairly firm under
tone, moving within relatively nar
row limits, but slightly lower. A
liberal export was said to
have been put through overnight,
and this resulted in some fairly good
buying which brought about a quick
rally after the early break. Toward
the finish there was considerable
evening up for over Monday.
Corn averaged lower with numer
ous stop loss orders uncovered on
the decline. A good class of buying
followed the early break, however,
and with a balancing up of
for over the holiday, the market dis
played considerable rallying power.
The hot wave in the west was re
ported broken, and scattered rains
were said to have occurred in Ne
braska.
Oats were lower with corn, but
ran into some good buying on the
dip and recovered well.
provisions were firmer on the for
eign news, and with the strength in
hogs.

lEKLY JOURNAL
DIGGERS IN NOBFOLK
FIND BONES OF IMS
WHO FOUGHT IN m
NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 3ft.—The
skeletons of three soldiers of Gen
eral Washington's Revolutionary
army, buried nearly a. century ami
a half ago near his camp site, which
now is a part of Berkeley, a Norfolk
suburb, were unearthed several days
ago in the yard of a citizen of that
place. The bones w. exhumed by
laborers in digging for a sewer line.
Buttons of copper or bronze and
other time-worn objects indicated
two of the men had been officers
and the bones of one showed he
must have been well over six feet in
height.
While today there is nothing to
indicate the place, now part of a
residential section, was once a mili
tary burying ground, the skeletons
found the other day make a total of
six dug up in the' same place within
the past two years. A citizen of the
suburb, J. H. Jones, whojls 90 years
old, recalls that in his boyhood days
his father had pointed out the place
as iMi old camp cemetery used by
the forces of Washington. Soldiers
buried there, according to the story,
fell in the battles of Great Bridge
and Money Point.
A monument long has marked the
site of the battle of Great Bridge,
and Money Point derives its name
from an incident that occurred there
during the Revolutionary war. It is
related that' money had been |>rc
vided for the payment of the troops,
but before it could lie distributed the
British made a sudden attack and,
fearing its capture, the Americans
placed the money in a cannon and
dropped it overboard. After the bat
tle. which continued for several days
with great fury, efforts to locate
the cannon proved futile and the
money to this day is supposed to be
lying buried in the mud in the Eliz
abeth river.
During his campaign in this sec
tion, then one cf the principal ports
of entry for the colonies, Washing
ton selected a site almost entirely
surrounded by waler, thus assuring
him against attack except by water
So much impressed was he with the
strategic value of his position, ac
cording, to the story handed down
for generations here, that Washing
ton selected his camp as the site for
a national capital, even going so far
.as to select a name for it.
Ford and His Wife
Will Take Lessons
In Old-Time Dances
HUDSON, Mass., Aug. 29.—Be
lieving that proficiency in the old
New England “square” dances is
necessary to the host and hostess of
the Wayside inn. Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Ford, of Detroit, have invited
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin B. Lovett,
of this town, to be guests at the
Ford' home early in September to in
struct the automobile magnate and
his family in the arts and graces of
the quadrill, lancers, caprice, and
mazourka.
The Lovett’s received the invita
tion and accepted. They came to Mr.
Ford’s attention recently when
friends in Sudbury told him of their
prbwess in the old time dances.
Mr. Lovett has been a teacher ot
dancing for more than twenty years.
After a conference with the Lovett’s
at the inn, Mr. Ford decided to ob
tain their services in anticipation of
soeial events to come later at the old
hostelry. After a week in Detroit,
the Lovetts will return to instruct
some of the Fords’ friends in the
east who are to be guests at social
affairs at the inn.

He is due at Wiscasset on Septem
ber 15.

turesque cities of Tokio and Yoko
hama and left ruin and death in its
wilke. sleeping sickness has sudden
ly cast its pall over the island.
Aftr raging ver Shikoku, the
sickness has invaded Yokohama and
the Kobe district—the very sections
which a year ago faced one of the
most terrible disasters in Japan’s
history. On the island of Shikoku
1.626 cases have been reported, over
half of which have proved fatal.
Three cases thus far have been dis
covered in Yokohama, while over 100
caseS%are reported in the Kobe dis
trict. ■
It has heen 14 years since the
dread disease has appeared in Japan.
The tolling of Buddhist temple
bells will be. a signal for all activity
in the city to cease on September 1
while Tokio pays tribute to its
earthquake dead on the first anni
versary of the disaster.
The ceremonies will begin at 11:58
am., the exact time of the first
great shock, which killed thousands
and laid the city in ruins

COOLIDGE TO ISSEHT
RIGHTS TD ELEVATE
GONS ON U.S. SHIPS
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.—Presi
dent Coolidge made it known Fri
day he would assert all rights given
this country under the treaties of
the arms limitation conference in re
gard to the elevation of naval guns.
The president, however, is loathe
to make' any move in this regard
which would stimulate further com
petition in armament between na
tions, feeling that foreign countries
should pay their debts to this nation
before spending additional money on
armaments.
Dawes and Bryan
Meet in Nebraska; ■
Talk of "Old Times”
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 30.—(8y
i the Associated Press.) —The vice
I presidential nominees of the two old
I parties—Charles G. Dawes, Republi
' can, and Charles W. Bryan, Demo-
I crat —met here today, renewed an
acquaintance formed thirty years
i ago- in this city, and parted as
j friends.
Discussion of politics did not en-
I ter into the unusual meeting, which
took place in Governor Bryan’s of
fice at the Nebraska state capitol
! and which lasted 15 minutes. There
i was an exchange of reminiscences,
I some talk about the growth ofS Lin
! coin since the early nineties and
j the recollection of some amusing in
cidents in their lives as residents of
I this city. \ z
The nearest approach to politics
' came when, as they were saying
I good-by, Mr. Bryan remarked:
I "Well, genera], T wish you success
! in all your future efforts and un
: dertakings except at the election
i in November.”
I Mr. Dawes laughingly expressed
. his thanks.
The meeting between the two
came about through what amounted
ito a mutual agreement. Governor
! Bryan in a statement issued yes
terday on the arrival of his oppo
nent in Lincoln to deliver a cam
paign address expressed the hope
that the Nebraska capital would
give Mr. Dawes a cordial welcome
and declared he hoped he would
have an opportunity to meet the
city’s visitor. Mr. Dawes read the
statement and then announced he
would call on Governor Bryan be
fore returning to Evanston.
Newspapermen acted as messen
gers, with the result that at 11:30
o’clock today Mr. Dawes walked
briskly into the capitol building into
the executive offices and found Mr.
Bryan standing in the doorway,
ready to welcome him. The gover
nor’s secretary attempted a formal
introduction but was cut short by
an exclamation from General Dawes:
“Well, governor, how are you?”
“Hello, general, I am glad to see
you,” was Governor Bryan’s
and with that he led his caller into
his office, drew up a chair and soon
they were talking and laughing to
gether like any pair of old friends.
The Republican nominee, on leav
ing the state house, went to the Lin
dell hotel to shake hands with the
w rkers in the Republican state
headquarters there, had lunch with
his host, S. H. Burnham, called on
another group of old friends, and
left at 4:40 this afternoon for Chi
cago.
Mr. Bryan, after Mr. Dawes’ visit,
cleared up his desk preparatory to
leaving- tomorrow for Elk Point, S.
D., where he on Monday will also
give a campaign address on the agri
i cultural situation.

Al SMITH PLACES
HIS ELOWCE fiT
PHRT’YS DISPOSAL
NEW YORK Aug. 31.—An agree
ment by Governor Alfred E. Smith,
of New York, to speak when anil
where the Democratic nation-il
speakers’ bureau may request and
the refusal of Representative James
V. McClintic, of Oklahoma, to re
main at the head of that bureau, be
cause of its removal to New York, |
were developed Saturday in Demo- j
cratic political circles here.
Governor Smith’s promise was an- '
nounced by Thomas J. Spellacy, di- '
J rector of eastern campaign heiifc- j
' quarters, after half an hour’s confer- j
I ence with the titular head of the j
New York Democracy. Mr. Spellacy ■
said, however, that the governor
would not begin stumping until after
the New York state convention at |
Syracuse on September 25.
Other than to say that the ar- |
rangement was at hi.s own sugges-J
tion Mr. Spellacy refused to enter I
into’, any discussion as to whether
the postpohement of the opening of
the governor’s speaking program un
til after the state convention migut
be taken as an indication that Mr.\
Smith’s decision not to become a
candidate to succeed himself was ir
' revocable.
Governor Smith had no comment
to make regarding the conference
other than to say that he and Mr.
Spellacy had “had a little talk.”
The resignation of Mr. McClintic
; as head of the national speakers'
■ bureau followed a conference of party
: chieftains here yesterday. The Okla
‘ homa representative insisted that
■ the bureau be retained at Washing
-1 ton on the ground that it was a more
logical and central place. Chair-
I man Shaver, of the Democratic na
tional committee, previously had
' caused announcement to be made
1 that the bureau would be moved and
’ would be open today.
The national chairman has re-
