COTTON
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—The cotton
market opened unchanged to nine
points lower today with the ton
steady on a. little trade buying and
covering. Offerings soon increased
pnd pried? worked off to 22.75 before
the end of the first hour, active
months showing net losses of 10 to
21 points. Selling was promoted by
- easy Loverpool cables, reports of
good weather in the south, a ten
dency to an increase in crop esti
mates and reports of a slightly easier
spot basis in the southwest. Gen
eral business was restricted bv the
proximity of the election day ad
journment however and the market
was comparatively quiet at the de
cline. A report published by a local
authority estimated the condition of
the crop has deteriorated 3.3 per cent
during the last month but reaffirmed
an end-September crop indication of
13,015,000 bales.
The, early decline extended to 22.70
for January, with the general list
yielding 20 to 26 points. Liverpool
was a buyer on a scale down, how
ever and the market turned steadier
after the offerings had been absorbed
with prices rallying ten to fifteen
points on covering. Trading was
quieter at midday with active
months about S to 12 points net
lower.
The market was steadier during
the early afternoon on covering ami
New Orleans and Wall street buying.
Offers were comparatively light after
the early liquidation had been ab
sorbed, and prices sold up to 23.07
for January, the general market
showing net advances of 11 1o 14
points at 2 o'clock. Another private
report estimated the crop at 12,365,-
000 bales,

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3.—The
cotton market opened easy this
morning owing to disappointing
Liverpool cables, and con.inued f.ne
weather in the belt. First trades
showed losses from Fridays close of
IS to 20 points and although there
was a momentary rally of a few
p-unts right after the cad in sym
pathy with New York’s betitx" open
ing, the market sooner! otf
again. December traded as low’ as
22.60, January, 22.62, a .d March,
22.85, or 22 to 24 points b?lti\v last
week’s closing figures. There was
more or less desire to liquilate in
advance of the president.';’, -election
and the attendant holiday tomorrow.
At the end of the first ha.f hour of
trading prices were - fluctuating nar
rowly near the low’s.
The market continued compara
tively narrow all morning and in
fluenced largely by pre-election con
siderations. Prices eased off mod
erately during the second hour of
trading mainly on large crop re
views, it being reported a local firm
estimated the crop at 13,250,000
bales. December dropped to 22.50,
January 22.52 and March 22.78. To
wards noon there was a sharp rally
and practically all the early loss
was recovered owing to covering by
shorts in advance of the general
holiday tomorrow. December ad
vanced to 22.76, January 22.80, or
26 to 28 points up from the earlier
I lows.
The market experienced a further
upturn in the early afternoon on
buying stimulated by an estimate of
12,636,000 bales by a Chicago author
ity, and Decause of further covering
by shorts in advance of the holiday.
The advance was later added to by
tjie large odds offered on the success
of Cooiidgb in the election tomorrow.
December traded up to 22.93, .Janu
ary 23.00 and March 23.19, or 11 to
48 points up from the lows of the
morning ami 9 to 15 points above the
previous close. The market at the
beginning of the last half hour of
trading showed a tendency to ad
vance further.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
... -i— -
1 CHICAGO (Monday), Nov. 3
The opinion was freely expressed
that the wheat market would rally
' after the early decline today. This
1 kept the market bobbing up and
■ down most of the session because
' buyers lacked the coinage to follow
i the advance in view of the break .'a
•' Winnipeg. The break in wheat check
’ cd bullish activities in corn and the
’ decline in both these grains exerted a
1 depressing influence over oats. Pro
- visions were a little firmer.
i Wheat had a rather choppy action
I today but it was difficult to main
. tain bulges. There were many peo
ple friendly to the market on the
decline, but they were not so anxious
to take an aggressive stand on the
rallies.
I Many of the big shorts took prof
i its on the break. The selling was
i hard to describe but it was notice
i able that offerings were in abun
j dance on any little upturn. The
I bearish cash situation seems to ba
, exerting its influence at the moment,
t The fact that Winnipeg lost 1c cf its
! premium over Chicago was a reflee
' lion of the slow demand for cat-h
wheat there. The increase in the
j visible supply today and the fact, that
supplies *on ocean passage are 16.-
000,900 bushels more than a year ago
and that world shipments were af
i:‘osi as large as last week despite a
falling off of nearly 2,000,000 bushels
tn North American clearances lent
confidence to the foreign buyer in
his attitude of refraining from buy
ing wheat at the moment. Native
supplies also are available in large
quantities and this also is a deter
rent factor. Millers are waiting for
the election before replenishing their
stocks of wheat. Receipts continue
liberal and cash prices are easing
off. Weather continues dry over
most of the wheat, belt.
Wheat closed 5-8 to 1 J-Sc lower.
December $1.39 7-8 to $1.39 3-4; May
$1.45 7-8 to $1.45 5-8; July $1.31 3-8
to $1.31 7-8.
Corn acted as if it wanted to rails’
but the decline in wheat had a re
straining influence on prospective
buyers. B. W. Snow estimated the
corn crop, based on November 1 con
dition, at 2,456,000,000 bushels, or
2,400,000,000 bushels, taking in ac
count the loss in acreage. Carry
over of old corn he estimates at
147,000,000 bushels. Nat C. Murry
estimates the corn crop at 2,474,000.-
000 bushels and the carryover at
120,000,000 bushels. Both these re
ports were constred as bullish. Coun
try sold only a few cars-, of corn to
arrive overnight. Shipping demand
overnight was light with some in
quiry tor round lets, if concessions
could be had. Premiums for'cash
corn were 1-4 to l-2c better than Sat
urday.
Corn closed l-4c lower to 1-8 cent
higher. December $1.05 1-4; May
$1.09 1-4 to $1.09 3-8; July $1.09 7-8.
Oats were affected by the action of
other grains. Cash interests were
good buyers on the break. Shipping
demand! over the week end was light
but some business was worked on
the break.
Oats were l-8c lower to 5-Sc high
er. December 48 5-8; May 53 1-2 to
53 5-8; July 52 1-8.
Provisions were quiet but firm.
Selling pressure was lighter and the
advance in hogs stimulated some
buying.
Card c losed unchanged to 25c low
er and bellies 5c lower. No trade in
ribs.
Local cash sale were 18.000 bush
els of wheat; 160,000 bushels of corn
•and 52,000 bushels of oats.
The seaboard reported 250,000
bushels of wheat and 400,000 bush
els of rye taken for export.

CHILD W STORY
PBINTED OF GEORGIA
The published statement that,
“there are <89,000 child workers in
Georgia, most of them employed in
cotton mills,’’ will be retracted in the
next issue of Good Housekeeping, ac
cording to a letter received Satur
day from W- F. Bigelow, the editor,
by H. M. Stanley, commissioner of
commerce and labor for the state oi
Georgia. Commissioner Stanley had
branded the statement as absolutely
false, in an interview given out last
week-.
The following is an extract from
the letter written to Commissioner
.Stanley by Mr. Bigelow:
Eiii.m's Statement
“The statement that I made with
regard to the ‘eighty-nine thousand
child workers between the ages o:
ten and fifteen, most of whom are
employed in cotton mills,’ was taken
bodily from a New York morning
newspaper published just a few days
before I wrote th article. lam not
in the habit of getting my informa
tion from the newspapers, but in
this case, since the figures were
quoted in an editorial, i assumed
that they were correct. 1 was ver,,
much distressed when I learned that
they could not be verified; that, as
a matter of fact, they were grossly
exaggerated over the figures f hai
even the most rabid anti-child labor
workers would ever put out. Need
less to say. therefore, the figures as
published will be retracted.”
Commissioner Stanley Saturday
took another shot at an Alabam t
child labor inspector who was quot
ed as declaring that from forty to
sixty Alabama children cross th?,
bridge at Columbus each morning to
work in Georgia mills. Mr. Stanley
has stated that these children cross
into Georgia in order to attend bet
ter schools.
There are more children in indus
try in Alabama than .there are in
Georgia, Mr. Stanley claims.
Alabama Figures
A ("cording to Commissioner Stan
ley the latest available government
statistics showlthat 9.6 per cent of
all children in Alabama under four
teen years of age are engaged in
gainful occupations, while in Geor
gia the 'percentage is only 7.6 per
cent.
“If the good lady shed tears over
conditions in Georgia,” said Mr.
Stanley, “they should have been
much more copious with reference
to conditions in her own state. Take
the figures from ten to fifteen years
of age as another example and it is
shown that 20.8 per cent of the
children living in Georgia are en
gaged in gainful occupations, while
in Alabama 24.1. per cent are em
ployed. The lady inspector in Ala
bama. had better first clean up m
her own state before pointing the
finger of scorn at Georgia.”
Argentine Aviator
Halted at Tokio on
His World Flight
TOd<IO. Nov. 2. Major Pedro i
Zanni, Argentine aviator, halted :
here on his round the world flight I
because of his inability to secure the i
necesarsy vessels to patrol the Pa- I
cific ocean while he crossed from j
Japan, has received a cablegram ;
f'-orn the Argentine war department j
advising him to postpone the flight ;
if be believes continuation impos
sible.
While no official postponement
has been announced, it is understood
such action is inevitable in view of the
fact that the Aleutian Islands are
usually icebound at this time of the
year, and continuation of the flight
most dangerous.
Japanese officials consider the hop
across the Pacific impossible and a
statement from Zanni announcing
postponement is expected either to
day or Monday.
Electioin Day in West
To Be Rainy, Weather
Forecast Indicates
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. All
throughout the great agricultural
regions of the west, where political
observers agree the size of the La
Follette vote may be materially af
fected by the weather, the weather
bureau predicts election day will be
marked by rain or snow.
The bureau’s regular weekly
“weather outlook,” issued today,
forecast for Minnesota, the Dakotas,
lowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kan-1
Sas, “rains iu early part of the j
week, with temperatures mostly be-1
low normal," and for the Rocky |
Mountain states to the west, “rains
or snow at the beginning of the j
week, with temperatures mostly,
below normal.”
Practically every other section of i
the country was promised generally .
fair weather for tne first of next
week.

the 5211.251.37 plus interest of $34.-
;si>‘l.43 and ten days later Mr. Cand
ler. “under protest and duress,” paid

and distributing $3,000 dividends on
each share of stock in <1917. It is
stated that Mr. Candler owned :.91
of the 500 shares of Coca-Cola com
mon stock and that in the distribu
tion of tha $3,000 dividends he receiv
ed $1,173,000.
Both suits are identical except for
the amounts of the judgments
sought and the number of counts.
The suit against Mr. Rose includes
four counts; the suit against Mr.
Blalock, three. In the suit against
Mr. Rose, Mr. Candler seeks three
judgments of $287,692.24 and one of
$286,128.52. In the Blalock suit,
judgments of $117,666.27 and two
of $249,944.31 are sought.
While the seven judgments sought
i total $1,766,760.13, court attaches
pointed out that only one judgement
i is sought, explaining that the suit
!is so drawn to meet certain legal
technicalities.
