COTTON
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Continua
tion of the buying movement which
followed publication of the: govern
ment’s crop report of Saturday led
to furhter advances in the cotton
market in today’s early trading. The
opening was firm at an advance of
11 to 22 points. Active months soon
showed net gains of 35 to 40 points,
March selling up to 23.92, or g e»-ut
above the low price of last 1* riday.
A good deal of realizing was ab
sorbed by covering and trade and
commission house buying on the ad
vance but offerings increased slight
ly above 23.90 for January and
there were moderate setbacks from
the best. Reports of a continued
good tone in the stock market and
a more favorable view of the domes
tic goods trade were among the fac
tors mentioned on the advance which
was generally attributed to the op
timistic view of general business
prospects.
Slight setbacks from the initial ad
vance met a broadening general de
mand and the market developed re
newed activity. The advance ex
tended to 24.13 for January, or GO
points above Saturday’s closing, but
at this figure the demand tapered
off somewhat and there were reac
tions of 10 or 12 points from the
best under realizing or selling for a
reaction. Trading was considerably
quieter around mid-day with Janu
ary at 24.01, compared with 23.53 at
the close of last week.
Realizing sales in the early after
noon were readily absorbed and the
market showed continued steadiness,
with January selling up to 24.25
or 72 points net higher. Prices were
within 4 or 5 points of the best at
2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10.—The
potton market opened firm despite
Sisappointing Liverpool advices. De
cember opened four points up, but
the market advanced rapidly as the
jail proceeded until by the time the
later positions were reached prices
tvere 31 to 32 points up. December
soon traded up to 23.87, January to
13.90, and March to 24.12. Brokers
attributed the advance to an accu
mulation of buying orders over Sun
fay, and a generally bullish feeling
paused by the great activity in
stocks and grain. At the end olkthe
Jirst half hour of trading prices had
?ased off about eight to ten points
from the highs.
The market ruled steady all morn
ing, stimulated by the strength of
the grain markets and the activity
md steadiness of stocks. All active
Months made new highs with De
cember and January at 23.98 and

The market experienced renewed
j divity in the afternoon under pres
sure of continued speculative and
I vide buying. Scarcity of contracts
i Ided to the strength of values and
is the afternoon advanced new buy
ig entered the market on the
saength of a reported stronger spot
flsis in the interior. A good spot
imian was also reported locally. De
vember traded up to 2-1.20, January,

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
X
CHICAGO (Monday). November 10.
A wave of heavy buying carried
wheat prices to the highest point of
the season today, away in advance of
the lower market bears had establish
ed before the election.
The season’s price record was
smashed at the opening and again
about mid-s?ssion. Thy- advance in
wheat helped bulls in other grain,
and both d'urn and oats were sharply
higher. Provisions had a setback aft
er a higher opening.
A sharp advance in Liverpool,
further advance in sterling exchange
and the fact that the Winnipeg mar
ket was closed today, owing to their
Thanksgiving holiday, all combined
to make a big bull market in wheat.
There was a wild tush to buy as soon
as the market opened, not only by in
vestors but by millers and exporters
as well. The closing of the Winnipeg
market brought mefet of the export
ers to Chicago to buy in their hedges
on wheat sold abroad. The bulge
in Liverpool was attributed to reduc
ed estimates on the Argentine crop.
Australian crop news was very dis
couraging to the foreign consumer.
Local shippers reported exporters
bidding a cent more for wheat than
they did Saturday, or 3 l-2c over
December, cif. Buffalo, for No. 2
hard. Foreign statistics were bear
ish. World shipments were near
record volume and an increase of
over 4,000,000 bushels is wheat sup
plies on ocean passage brings that
total up to 20,000,000 bushels in ex
cess of last year. The department
of commerce reports exports of do
mestic. wheat last week at 10,637.000
bushels compared with 5,015.000
bushels the previous weej<, and 3,085.-
600 bushels the corresponding week
a year ago.
Wheat closed 1 7-8 to 3 3-4 c high
er. December, $1.53 5-8 to 7-8: May,
$1.60 to $1.60 1-2; July, $1.40 to
$1.39 3-4.
Corn bulls were excited over the
action of the wheat market and they
accomplished better results in their
efforts to enhance values. Despite
the fact that a big line of December
corn carried by an eastern interest
was in the process of liquidation,
prices advanced steadily. Cash corn
did not follow the advance in futures
and reduction of l-2@3-4c in the basis
was ■''noticed. Country sold corn a
little more freely on the advance.
Shipping demand was more general,
but buyers confined their purchases
to immediate requirements.
Corn closed 7-8 to 13-Sc higher.
December. sl.ll to sl.ll 1-4; May,
$1.15 1-4 to 1-2: July, $1.16 3-8 to 1-2.
Oats followed the lead of other
grains and in the course of the day
scored good gains. A reduction in
the Argentine crop promised was
used effectively by the bulls in gain
ing recruits to their way of think
ing. Shipping demand was light.
Oats were 3-4 to 7-8 c higher. De
cember, 52 7-8 c; May 57 3-4 c; July,
55 3-4 c.
Provisions started sharply higher
on investment buying prompted by
the strength-in corn and the advance
in Liverpool lard. The bulge
brought out heavy realizing sales and
all of the early advance was soon
wiped out.
Lard closed 2 1-2 to 10c lower. Ribs
20c higher. Bellies, 15 to 20c lower.
Cash sales today were 15,000
bushels of wheat; 100,00 bushels of
corn: 66,000 bushels of oats, and 10,-
000 bushels of barley. Seaboard rc
’ ported 1,000,000 bushels of wheat
taken for export.

MARION. Ohio. Nov. 9.—(i:.\ the*
.Associated Press.) —Mrs. b’kireni
Kling Harding, widow of I'resident
Harding, who has’been ill with kid
ne.v trouble for several weeks, tin
I dcrwenl an exploratory operation
this eveninc.
Mrs. Harding withstood the opera
tion with bin little shock, according
io announcement ol her physicians;
and tonight was said to "manifest
her usual courage and hopefulness."
The following bulletin was issued
by the attending physicians tonight:'
"’rhe important manifestation in
Mrs. Harding’s case early in the
week was interrupted by an almost )
complete occlusion of the right tire-|
ter, necessitating an exploratory,
puncture, which, it is hoped, will as- I
ford temporary relief.
"Her general condition, while net;
immediately critical, is such as to ;
cause the greatest anxiety because i
of Ihe condition of her heart and
because of the complications whictr |
have developed in the upper part of ;
her abdomen.
"Radical surgical work ar this
time is quite out of the question-,.
"Mrs. Harding went through the i
palliative operation under local ■
anaesthesia with but little shock and j
tonight maintained her usual cour
age and hopefulness.
(Signed) "J. C. WOOD, M. D.
"CARL AV. SAWYER. _\l. D.”
The operation was performed at i
7 o’clock tonight at White Oaks ;
Farm, a sanatorium conducted by ■
Dr. Sawyer, where Mrs. Harding
has been making her home. The san- ■
atorfium formerly, was conducted by;
Dr. Charles E. Sawyer, President I
Harding’s personal physician.
Throughout the day Mrs. Harding's;
condition had grown steadily worse. I
Late in the day Dr. Sawyer stun- 1
tnoned into consultation Dr. J. C. |
Wood, of Cleveland and it was de- '
cided to operate at once.
Dr. Sawyer stated they were ;
forced to take a chance for bringing 1
relief to their patient by performing I
the operation.

Government Estimates Cotton Crop
At 12,816,W Bales-Condition 55.9
WASHINGTON, Nov. S,- I'nusually favorable wentae," conditions
during the last two weeks of October resulted in an increa • ol 141,-
"JOO bales in this year’s iirospective cotton crop.
The department of agriculture forecasts today a to. tl production |
of 12,Sib,GOD bales and the census bureau reported 9.69 I,‘.'du hales, |
or inore than three-quarters of the crop, hau been giiiiic .1 prior to
November 1. B
Cotton production will be 12,M 6 equivalent JCO-pound bale this I
year, the department ot agricu'ture lurecast today. A I’vu'.ighl l
ago J 2,6 iJ.UbO bales were lurecast.
Thu forecast ol product ion was based on the condiiion of ill" < top i
on November 1, which was 55.9 per cent ul a normal, vompaied with |
51.7 on October IS this year and 47. Sou Odoln r 25 last year. La ", |
year's production, according to final ginning return.', ;; 10,139,tL 1 '
equivalent 500-pottnd bales.
The abandonment of cotton acreage between July I and Novum- '
her 1 this year was reported al 11 7 per cent by the crop reporting !
board. The average abandonment between Ju!.' 25 and Decern her i '
in previous years has been 2.1 per cent.
Tiie crop reporting board issued the following sunimary of ton- '
,dn ion s:
‘‘'rhe weather condil ions have been -
1 her 1, for the opening and picking of the n mnani of ihe cotton < rop I
; that was not harvested by Ociober 18, the dale lor which the pre ;
< cedii " cotton report was made. Late boils have matured in most ■
■ state; . a Texas there are many half-grown bolls, which are subject J
; to weatlu r conditions and may make some cotton if ireczing weather ;
i holds off. i
"The light frosts which have occurred in North Carolina did not j
1 injure the crop. Frost has killed, the cotton plants in the northern ■
; section of Louisiana. In Texas, light to heavv frosts visited all but ’
! the southern portion of the state on the night of October 23 and on <
! several subsequent days, doing considerable damage to cotton in the I
• lowlands. In northwest Texas the frosts were lal< r than usual, but 1
; in the other sections of the state about 10 days earlier than usual. I
i This cold spell has destroyed ’lie prospect of a material top crop. !
i Heavy frosts and slight freezes in Tennessee in the later part of
October did some damage to the crop in the lowlands. Bolls in .
' southern Illinois were damaged by killing frosts on October 21 and !
i 22, or about 10 days too soon for the late bells to mature, and in i
I New Mexico killing frosts did not appear untii late October and did ;
not prevent many late bolls from maturing.
"801 l weevil damage ceased in North Carolina by October 5. Much i
of the injury to the bolls was due to the rot that followed the punctur- I
• ing. 11l Louisiana there has been little damage from weevils and ;
; other insects, but in Texas, weevils and boll worms are getting most ;
of' the late bolls.
"The estimated abandonment of cotton acreage from July 1 to
November 1 is 3.7 per cent. This estimate is preliminary, out is I
i based not only on reports from county and township crop reporters
' but on estimates by the state agricultural statisticians.
The average abandonment for the .10 years, 1914-1923, from June
! 25 to December 1, was 3.1 per cent, so that the percentage for this •
: year from July 1 to November 1 is six-tenths of one per cent above i

Decision Not Reached
By U. S-. Bank on Plan
For Carolina Branch
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. B.—Estab
lishment of *i branch of the Rich
mond Fed.eral Reserve bank in Nori I
or South Carolina "still is under con
sideration.” Governor George J. Seaj
declared today. Officials Ol the lo
cal institution were reluctant to dis
cuss the matter, and it was not made
dear whether it still is in the hand;
of the directors of the Richrnom
bank, who met here xesterda.v. oi
had been referred to the federa
board at Washington. Previously ii
had been stated that any announce
ment would "have to come from else
where." '
it was reported that the director?
of 1 he Ri< hmond bank had agreed t<
recomnu nd i hat the branch shoul
not be established at this lime. Os
ficers of the bank, however, refu.
to discuss this or any other phase ol
ihe matter. .
vember L of 51 per cent of norma
was given, as compared with 31 pei
cent on October 25 last year. N,
report relating to November 1 was
issued in 1923.
The slight decrease in the esti
mate of the crop since October Is. i
primarily due to a more compleu
realization of the facts of the case'll}
the correspondents in chocking ui
on production.
In addition to the condition fig
tire, other factors that have an ini
portant bearing on crop productior
were carefully considered in arriv
ing at the above estihiate.
Ginning figures for Georgia up t<
November 1. as reported by the Im
rcau of the census, total 812,811
