NEW YORK, Oct. B—The gox
ernment’s cotton crop report was
preceded by rather nervous and ir
regular fluctuations in the market
here early today. The opening was i
steady at an advance of 12 to 20
points in response to relatively
steady Liverpool cables, reports of
unsettled weather in the southwest
and further covering for over the
bureau report. The weather may, i
however, was rather more favorable
than expected, while the weekly re
port of the weather bureau received
a favorable construction. After sell
ing at 25.43 December eased off to
25.32, under realizing and hedging.
The covering continued, checking
the decline and causing frequent
rallies, but general business was
quiet during the first half hour.
Prices bulged late in the first hour
on the unfavorable western belt
forecast and December sold up to
25.77 c, or 49 points net higher. The
government report was followed by
a severe break. December sold off
to 24.00 c within a few minutes aft
er the figures were published, or 177
points from the high levle of the
morning and 128 points net lower.
Selling on the crop figures was stim
ulated by the Texas report showing
4,525,520 bales ginned prior to Oc
tober 1, which also exceeded expec
tations. Enough covering caused
rallies of 30 to 35 points after the
first the first rush of selling subsid
ied, brtt the market was active and
unsettled at midday.
The midday rallies were followed
by a wave of selling with prices
breaking into new low ground for
the day. December sold off to 23.96 :
<>r 180 points from the high level of
the morning, and 132 points net
lower. Prices were within ten or
twelve points of the lowest at 2
o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. B.—The
cotton market opened with a little
spurt which carried prices up 14 to
16 points. Liverpool was better titan
due and although the weekly weath
er and crop report was bearish and
the weather map generally fair, the
appearance of a considerable storm
venter in the central west supported
the market. There was little dispo
sition to trade in advance of the
bureau report due at 10 o’clock, but
prices remained 'steady with the ini
tial improvement maintained. Janu
ary, the most active month, traded
up to 25.39.
The government report showing
condition of 53.5 and indicated crop 1
of 12,499,000 bales, exclusive of lin- !
tecs, proved larger than had been
generally expected and the resulting [
liquidation promptly forced prices [
down from 25.53 c to December and
25.78 c for January to 24.00 c and
“4.20 c respectively, or a drop in a
few minutes of 153 to 158 points.
After reaching the low levels there
was a steadier tone and prices ral
lied about 15 points, but just before
noon there was a fresh wave of liq
uidation and January made a new
low at 24.09 c.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY’ JOURNAL
GRAIN |
CHICAGO (Wednesday), Oct. 8. —
Wheat had another setback in to
day's trading. Liverpool again fur
nished the surprise for the trade but
| it was a disagreeable one.. Corn tried
i to overcome the depressing effect of
- the break in wheat but the buying
i power was just a little too light to ac
■ complish this purpose. Oats tagged
I along with other grains. Provision
[ trade was uninteresting and the mar
j ket was easy in tone.
The pep seems to have gone out
! of the bull market in wheal. Heavy
realizing sales the last few days have
put so much wheat in the pit that it
is difficult for the market to digest
the offerings. Bulls are just as con
fident as ever, but they are less ag-
I gressive. A break of 2 1-2 to 2 3-4
pence in Liverpool was the cause for
much selling at the opening and a
sharp reduction in prices. On the
dip export house took some wheat
out of the pit, but prices did not rally
far before increased offerings were
again met. The selling was mainly
by discouraged holders. The break
in Liverpool was due to heavy realiz
ing sales and a let-up in the demand.
A private estimate on the Austral
ian wheat crop was for 119,000,( 00
bushels compared with 123,000,000
bushels havested last year. Local
handlers sold 250,000 bushels of
wheat to exporters overnight but it
was difficult to get a bid front the
seaboard after the opening. Thi
seaboard reported export business
overnight at 500,000 bushels, Italy
being the best buyer. There was t
holiday on the continent and this
checked business somewhat.
Corn was off to a a lower start
largely in sympathy with wheat. On
the break good commission house
buying developed and prices recov
ered more that the decline. Latei
wheat developed further weakness
and this caused increased pressure
and an easier tone. Prices were we ’
supported, however, around the pre
vious closing level. Wet weather
over the entire corn belt was a bull
ish factor. Country' offerings to ar
rive increased on the rally. Ship
ping demand was quiet overnight but
improved a little during the day.
Oats followed the trend of other
grains. Realizing sales caused a
break at the opening. Support de
veloped on the break and prices had
a good recovery late. A slight im
provement was noticed in the ship
ping demand.
Provision trade was light and
prices eased off in the absence of
supporting orders.
Wheat came back strong in the
last hour of the session and closed
l-4s to l-3c higher. Reinstatements
of long lines by influential local
traders had absorbed the surplus of
ferings and forced shorts to cover.
December, $1,50 5-8 to $1,50 3-4; May.
$1,55 3-4; July, $1,39 1-4.
Corn met pressure on the bulge
and closed unchanged to 3-8 c higher.
December, $1,13 1-8 to $1,13 1-4; May,
$1.16; July, $1,16 1-4 to $1,16 1-2.
Oats were l-Bc. to l-4c higher. De

j Lard closed unchanged to 5e lower:

Lccal cash sales were 959,000 bush
els of wheat, including 590.000 bush
els to exporters: 1,000 bushels of
jeern' 1,000 bushels of oats.
Tlie seaboard reported 500,000
bushels of wheat .and 320.000 bush
els of rye taken for export.

ROCHESTER, X. V., Oct. 6.—Ex
! pressing the opinion that if the
! election were hold now none of Ihe
; presidential candidates would have
; a majority in the electoral college,
i Senator Robert M. l.a Follette, in
j a statement issued on Ills arrival
I here today, declared he was starting
■ on an extended campaign tour for
I only* one purpose—to win in Xovcni
! ber.
“If 1 wanted the election to be
thrown into congress,” said the in
dependent presidential candidate, "I
would stay in Washington and take
it easy for the rest of the campaign.”
The senator sai dthat reports from
every part of th country led him to
believe the progressive tide is rising
at a tremendous rate and that lie
and his supporters could "increase
the power of this movement to the
point of a clear cut election in No
vember.”
Senator l.a Follette will deliver
an address here tonight. He will
speak tomorrow night in Scranton,
Ba., then in Newark, N. J., Detroit’
Cincinnati, Chicago, Kansas city
and St. Louis. After his St. Louis
engagement a week from tomorrow
night, he plans to swing westward
to the Pacific coast.
NEBRASKA AND CALIFORNIA
CLAIMED FOR INDEPENDENTS
NEW YORK. Oct. 6.—La Follette
leaders today claimeq two additional
states for the independent candidate.
Nebraska and California, according
to a statement by Arthur Garfield
Hays, chairman of (he state La Fol
lette- Wheeler c;tmpaign cornmittee
Air. Hays said that the action of
the California supreme court in rul
ing Ra Follette-Wheeler electors off
the ballots as independents, “thus
compelling them to run on the so
cialist ticket,” together with the sup
port of Senator Hiram Johnson,
made that state certain.
He asserted that Senator Norris,
of Nebraska, is sure of re-election
and his denunciation of the Repub
lican party’ also will swing that state
to La Follette.
SIOO,OOO Wager
Said to Figure in
Baseball Scandal
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—. Timmy
O’Connell, Giant outfielder banished
from baseball after confessing a part
in the effort to bribe Heinie Sand,
of the Phillies, to throw a game, to
day declared that he would delay’
his departure for his California
home when shown a letter alleged to
have been written bv a Broadway
gambler.
The anonymous letter, which was
printed in a New York newspaper,
said that a certain group had wa
gered $109,000 that New Y’ork would
win the national league flag by two
games and that $5,000 had been paid
over to a Giant player in the bribe
effort. The crippling of the team
late in the season, the letter said,
“worried the gamblers about those
two games,” undoubtedly referring
to the last two contests of the sea
son with the Phillies at the Polo
grounds.
O'Connell seemed heartened by the
letter’s insistence that he was only
the "goat,” as he has maintained
since being cast out by Commission
er Landis.

well of the long side of vol ton.
.1. 8. Bache W Co.: rending the report
which is to be issued tomorrow at 11

ions are worthless.
Orvis Bros.; The main feature of the

these figures necessarily must make a bull

Weld Co.: It is our feeling that unless
the market be accorded support in the shape
of trade buying on a good scale, hedge sell
ing, at least during the immediate future,
will prove of sm-h proportions that any ad
vance will not be sustained.

that an easier market will follow should t'i.

Government Estimates Cotton Crop
At 12,499,000 Bales—Condition 53.5
WASHINGTON, Oct. S. —The cotton cto]» declined to the extent of
!)0,000 bales in the two weeks from September 16 to October 1, the
department of agriculture indicated today in its forecast of a total
production of 12,499,000 equivalent 500-pound bales, based on the con-
I tion of the plants October 1. Last year 10,139,671 bales were grown.
Cotton production this year was forecast today at 12,499,006
I equivalent 500-pound bales by the department of agriculture. That
compares with a forecast of 12,596.000 bales made a fortnight ago.
Os this year’s crop, -1,525.520 running hales, counting round as
| half bales, had been ginned prior to October 1. the census bureau
announced.
The condition of I lie crop on October 1 was 53.5 per cent of a
normal, indicating a yield per acre of 14 8.0 pounds, compared with
55.4 per cent, indicating a yield per acre of 149.2 pounds on Sep
tember 16. this year.
The crop reporting board, in a summary oi' cron conditions,
said:
“Prospects for cotton production in the Atlantic states, except
Florida, greatly declined during the latter half of September. Ex
cessive rains checked the opening of bolls, and caused rotting of lint
and sprouting of seed. Lint was lost by beating rains. Much of the
lint has been reduced in grade. Some bolls considered safe in the
middle of September were later found to be in bad condition. In
North Carolina some of the worst conditions are found where the
previous dry weather prevented the weevil from doing much dam
age. In this area few of the bolls had opened and, in tlieir green
state, the long wet period was very favorable to weevil damage.
Continuous rains in Georgia from September 13 to 30 damaged
many of the opened and cracked bolls, and water soaked even bolls
that were otherwise sound.
“The cloudy, rainy weather that prevailed in the cotton area
from Virginia to Georgia resulted in greatly increased weevil activ
ity. Weevil punctures made an ideal place for rot to begin. In the
southern two-thirds of Georgia, weevils have become numerous and
they have punctured many bolls, since practically no squares were
forming for them to feed on.
Rains and consequent damage in Alabama were less severe than
in the Atlantic states. The rains in this state have brought out a
new crop of squres and blooms which will have no other result than
the furnishing of weevil food and hatching quarters, with effects to
be felt next year.
“The main benefit of the rains in Texas which began on Sep
tember 11, lies in stopping the premature opening of bolls and in
helping the late bolls on late cotton to mature. Many localities re
port the advent of the weevil in large number ssince the rains be
gan and have little hope of a late crop.
“The boll weevil had begun its work in Oklahoma before Sep
tember 16. but general damage, has only recently become apparent.
However, the crop is already made «nd most of it is safe from frost.
The crop will be light.
“Frost has so far done little or no damage, speaking for the
date of October 1 and for the cotton belt as a whole. A light frost
occurred in some of the Piedmont counties of South Carolina on
October 1. An early frost in Mississippi probably damaged late
bolls to some extent. A frost in Tennessee on the last night of Sep
tember was somewhat damaging in various localities, although for
the state as a whole the damage was slight.”
Foreign Crop Conditions
Reviewing Itest available information as to cotton production in
foreign countries, the bureau of agricultural economics said:
“Reports indicate the crop in the northern part of upper Egypt
has been disappointing both in quantity and quality. Reports for
the southern provinces of upper Egypt are better and the vield and
92 la lty . are said to bR satisfactory. The Sakellaridis cro pin lower
Egypt is reported to be good and there are prospects of a good av
erage yield.
Rains were general and well distributed in India up to the
middle of September, when fair weather set in. In Bengal and the
United Provinces cloudy weather caused some harm to the crop. On
the whole the weather was favorable and the prospects for the cron
good.
''lntermittent rains in the Laguna district of Mexico lowered j
the grade of the unpicked cotton and harmed the, crop Estimates '
place the Laguna crop between 140,000 and 150,000 bales.
'Cotton production in Chosen (Korea) is estimated at 119 60 9 '
bales for 1924-25 compared with 1 11,088 bales for last year.
“Weather conditions in Brazil were favorable to the beginning i
oi September. Damage by pests has been negligible this season and i
fruiting has been average.”

Georgia Cotton Crop Report
Tire condition of the cotton crop in Geor
gia on October 1 was 53 per cent of normal,
as compared with 59 per cent ou September
10 and 64 per rent ou September 1, accord
ing to the report released today through
the Gccrgia Co-operative Crop Reporting
Service. This condition figure of 53 per
ient. as reported b.v correspondents, indi- ;
cates a yield of about 142 pounds of lint .
cotton per acre, and a total production of |
1.118,000 bales for the state. However, the
final production figure will vary from that [
given .bove accordingly as <-o:.ditions are
better or worse than average after October 1. i
'Die aeavy decline in condition since Sep- i
teniber 16 was largely due to the almost !
continuous rains from September 13 to 30 ;
throughout the state, causing some of the
open and eracked bolls to sprout ami. in
some cases, to rot. Also, the cloudy, rainy
weather was favorable to increased weevil
activity and these pests have become quiie
numerous over tlie southern two-thirds of |
the state, puncturing many of the half- ,
grown bolls. Fortunately, it is too late i
for damage from this source to bo any- [
thing like as severe as in previous years.
One of tiie worst results of damage to i
the crop from wet weather was the deteri- |
oration in grade from beating out and stain- I
ing of tile lint. Many farmers, because of
I scarcity of labor, were behind with picking i
i when tne rains set in and consequently suf- •
I sered considerable damage. At the present ;
i time, picking is being carried or. as rapidly i
i as possible, and a few more days of fair, j
[ dry weather, with its favorable effect on |
i maturing of la’e bolls, will see the sitif
ation well in hand.
The bureau of the census report shows I
■ that 393.756 running bales had been ginned ■
I from the crop of 1924 prior to October 1.

lin Hie three-cornered liquor smug-
I gling conspiracy that came to light
I with the capture of the British steam
i trawler Frederick B, lasi. Saturday,
were sought by federal officials to-
I day.
The search for men financially in
terested in what the dry age’*‘s said
f was a $10,000,000 sinuggli.'-« plot,
Had. New York, Montreal * J Lon
don as its three main poiiwa of in
terest. A Montreal banker was said
to have been heavily interested fi
nanciallx. British distillers also 1
1 were said to figure pt eminently in ’
the plot, which Assistant United]
States Attorney Clark’ said was lhe|
most extensive unearthed since this
country entered into the new right
of seizure treaty with Great Britain.
New York members of the ring were
sought as- heavy investors in the en
terprise.
The Frederick B, captured fifteen
miles off Monmouth Beach, N. J., as
the result of a three months’ inves
i tigwtion, was said by the dry agents
I to be one of four rum runners op
erated by the syndicate.
The rum prize still lay at anchor
[off the Sttftue of Liberty today, her
! quarter of a million dollar contra
band cargo still aboard. Also aboard
I were 18 members of the crew and
-two women cooks. Two other men
[found on the trawler, said to be the
j vessel's super cargoes, were held in
$5,000 bail Saturday for appearance
I before a federal commissioner, as
[ smuggling conspirators.

1 with the arrest of 18 men. today re
vealed that boats of the rum fleet
had invaded Long Island sound.
'l’he incident started a local and
federal inquiry which, officials said,
might lead into some of Westchester
I county’s fashionable communities,
j They are working on rhe theory that
i the contraband was destined for one
I or mote of the estates or load houses
that dot the country.
At an abandoned wharf on the
grounds of the Westchester Country
club, a policeman saw men unload
ing cases from small boats while
others .shifted the cases to motor
trucks. A string of small boats was
plying between the wharf and a
small, unlighted vessel in the sound.
While the policeman was calling
i aid the boats disappeared.
