COTTON
NEW YORK. Dec. IS.—The cotton
market was nervous and irregular
in today’s early trading. A tendency
to take profits on recent purchases
after the advances of the past two
or three days, was promoted by rel i-
easy Liverpool cables. Sell
ing, otherwise was restricted by con
tinued reports of good demand and
Very firm spot basis in the south,
and after opening steady at a de
cline of five points to an advance of
one point, prices fluctuated within a
comparatively narrow range. Jan
uary sold at 23.75 on the call, then
rallied to 23.82 but eased off to 23.77
toward the first half hour, when
prices were generally five to seven
points net lower.
Contractions m the volume of of
ferings, combined with covering and
commission house buying, caused oc
casional rallies during the morning.
Realizing continued, however, and
prices gradually worked lower with
January contracts at midday ruling
around 23.68, and May at 24.45, or
14 to 16 points net lower.
Early afternoon advices from the
south indicated less active spot de
mand, but the market here held gen
erally steady, with trading quiet.'
January contracts ruled around
23.72 and May 24.52, at 2 o’clock. ,
or about 9 to 10 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. IS—The
cotton market opened steady in the
face of unfavorable Liverpool cables.
First trades were unchanged to 2
points down. The market eased off
slightly after the call, January trad
ing down to 24.05, March to 24.11
and May to 24.38 or 10 to 11 points
below the previous close. The mar
ket continued to be supported by
good spot news. A local firm re
ported the sale after hours yesterday
of one lot of 1,700 bales at a good*
basis. Fall River reported sales of
print cloths for the week would
reach fully 200,000 pieces.
The market was mildly reaction
ary during the morning, but trading
quieted down considerably. The dis
position to sell was held in check by
continued strength of spots and pros
pects for continued large export as
well as by favorable advices from
the cotton goods markets. January
traded down to 23.96, March to 24.03
and May 24.30, or 18 to 19 points
down compared with yesterday’s
close. Galveston wired that exports
from that port would total 250,000
bales during the second half of De
cember. New Orleans exported to
day 14,648 bales. ■
The mark'-t a'tef ruling very quiet
at the low points of the morning |
right after noon showed a rallying
tendency later owing'to covering by
shorts who feared rather bullish
week-end statistics today. January
recovered to 24.07, March to 24.14
and May 24.39. or 9 to 12 points up
from the lows of the session estab
lished around noon. The undertone
continued healthy owing to the good
demand for spots and the favorable
reports from th egood trade. Trad
ing however, dropped to very mod
erate proportions. Exports for the
day totaled 25,932 bales.

THE ATLANTA TRLWEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
I CHICAGO, Thursday, Doc. IS.—
I Wheat encountered more opposition
jin its efforts to advance to higher
; levels, good bulge was noticed at
j the opening but the buying power
I gave out on the advance and prices
i lost a good part of the early gain.
J Corn was weak, most of the session
[reflecting the decline in cash corn
land the increase in receipts. Oats
j were affected by the trend of corn.
[Provisions had a firmer tone in sym-
I pathy with the advance in hc-gs.
i Tlie unexpected strength in Liver-
I pool based on unfavorable private
reports from the Argentine, led to
active commission house buying of
wheat at the opening. Prices ad
vanced sharply, but around $1.72 for
May, pressure increased and not
enough new buying came into tne
pit to digest the offerings. Most of
the professional traders feel that
present prices are high enough and
they show a disposition to stay out
iof the market rather than take the
risk of making short sales. The wire
service was crippled by yesterday's
sleet storm and th s was especially
noticeable in wires reaching western
points .
’ As a result outside trade was not
>as brisk as of late. Seaboard advices
i were scanty and the local exporters
[ told of again buying back wheat
i from France. Clearance of over 700,.
000 bushels from Galveston received
much attention and were used by
the bull to encourage buying. Mills
take a little wheat daily but the
volume of business is not impressive.
Recepits will be light for the next
few days owing to the stormy
weather.
I Enough commission house buying
was experienced in corn to give the
market a higher opening. This, how
ever, was the only period of firm
ness noticed in the entire session. On
tlie bulge heavy selling by eastern
houses representing long corn caused
prices to break nearly 2 cents from
the top before enough buying was
encountered to check the decline.
James a Patten is credited with tlie
statement that the receipts are too
heavy at the moment to permit an
advance in prices. Despite the slow
wire service 20,000 bushels of corn
were booked on overnight bids to the
country. Cash corn basis was un
changed to a cent lower, the decline
being in the off grades. Shipping
demand was quiet.
Oats were affected by the action
of corn and sold off after a higher
opening. The big stocks in sight and
the indifferent cash demand are un
dermining the morale of holders.
The advance in hogs caused com/
mission house buying of provision
and higher prices were Posted as a
result. The break in corn caused
some pressure later and prices re
acted from the high point.
Corn rallied with wheat and closed
1 1-4 to 15-8 c higher; December $1.24
1-2; May $1.29 1-2 to $1.29 5-8; July
$1.30 to $1.30 3-8.
1 Oats were 3-8 to 7-8 higher; De
, comber 58 7-8e; May 64 3-4 c to 64 5-80;
J Illy 6o 3-BC.
Lard closed unchanged to 15c low
er, libs 2 1-2 to 5c higher, bellies 10c
lower.
Local cash sales 42,000 bushels
i kvheat, 38,000 corn, 75,000 oats and
1 5,000 barley.
The seaboard reported 500.000
bushels wheat and 100,000 rye taken
for export.

AVASIi I .XGTO.N. Dee. 17.—This
year's harvest of important farm
crops, the highest priced in five
years, though not the greatest in
volume of products, was valued at
$9,479,902,000 Tuesday by the depart
ment of agriculture.
Better prices placed the value
$753,013,000 higher than last year
-when the total, as revised, was SB,-
726,889,000 and $1,6113,882,000 higher
than in 1922, when they aggregated
$7.81 6,020.000.

cipal farm crops was smaller this
yean- than last, there having been a
total of 355.210,400 acres as com
pared with 355,594,730 in 1923.
Both the spring and winter wheat
crops were extremely satisfactory,
but corn had an unfavorable season.
Cotton, planted V’te, was affected
by drought to some extent, but a
fair crop was produced. A large
crop of potatoes, on a smaller acre
age than in recent years, resulted
from unusuallv favorable weather.
Corn maintained its rank as king
of crops, and. although production
was 600,000,000 less than last year,
its value was $188,000,000 more than
the 1923 crop. The total value of
corn was placed at $2,405,468,000.
Cotton ranked second with a total
value of $1,683,274,000, of which sl,-
487,225,000 was the value of lint and
$196,049,000 the value of seed. Hay,
with a total value for tame and wild
of $1,467,648,000, was third crop in
point of income. Wheat ranked
fourth with a total value for spring
and winter of $1,136,596,000.

Visit of Grand Duchess
Didn’t Cost Her a Cent;
Publicity Paid Her Way
NEW YORK. Dec. 17.—The visit
to this country of the Grand Duchess
Gyri), wife of tlie self-proclaimed
czar of Russia, was without cost to
her, and thousands of dollars have
followed her home, says the New
York World today, referring to her
trip as “one of the most ambitious
publicity stunts in the history of ad
vertising.”
The following were provided free
•for the sake of publicity, the World
Passage from Europe to America
ami relurn.
Presidential suite at the Waldorf-
Astoria.
I se of high-priced automobiles.
Royal suite at the Bellevue-Strat
ford hotel, Philadelphia.
Suite at the New Willard hotel.
Washington.
Mrs. Henry D. Loomis, who ar
ranged for the visit of the duchess
to this country as a guest of the
Monday Opera club, admitted that
the trip was free. Hundreds of per
sons, after being approved by the
membership committee of the Mon
day Opera club, were permitted to
pay $lO each for the benefit of the
Russian relief work, and they in
turn received the privilege of meet

Governor Withdraws
Bennett’s Commission
To Succeed Boifeuillet
Governor Walker has withdrawn,
without prejudice, the commission
recently issued to O. R. Bennett, of
Eastman, Ga., as a member of the
state public service commission, to
sueUhed Colonel John T. Boifeuillet.
Colonel Boifeuillet recently sent
the governor a communication call
ing attention to the fact that he
was elected December 1, 1919, for a
six-year term, so that his term ex
pires December 1, 1925, almost a
year hence.
Acting under a misapprehension
Governor Walker had issued a com
mission to Mr. Bennett, who defeat
ed Colonel Boifeuillet for re-election
last fail, authorizing him to take
office January 1, 1925. In a letter
to Mr. Bennett explaining the situa
tion, the governor has now with
drawn that commission, indicating
that he will grant a hearing on the
matter if the parties concerned de
sire one.
It is understood that the with
drawal was prompted by the gov?-
ernor's desire to track’ the law as
construed by the supreme court in
the McGregor-Clark case, involving
the state pension commissioner’s of
fice. In this case the supreme court
held that the legislature could not
arbitrarily cut off several months of
a state officer's term.
Mr. Bennett has not born heard
from as to his contentions in ths
case. ,
Upshaw Proposes
To Make Aiderman
President of U. S.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 17. The
name of Edwin A. Aiderman, presi
dent of the University of Virginia
was presented in the house todax
as a candidate for the presidency ol
the United States by Representative
Upshaw, Democrat, Georgia.
Mr. Aiderman was recommended
as “an educator-statesman of tow
ering proportions” who has “reflect
ed signal honor upon his nativ/
state—North Carolina” and a person
qualified for the office of the chief
executive, in a speech by the Geor
gia member.
Mr. Upshaw, referring to an ad
dress delivered in the house Mon
day by Mr. Aiderman at memorial
services for Woodrow Wilson, said
it was one of the “marvelous mas
terpieces'’ of literature and as he
delivered that address, the Georgia
member added, “1 kept saying in my
soul: ’Why not make t lint man presi
dent of the I'nited States?'”

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1921.
DR. SOULE'S S.W
IS LEGALLY PAID.
TRUSTEES REPORT
ATHe’nS, Ga . D<c. 17.—Assert
ing that no legislation is required
to clear up any .situation as re
gards the salary of Dr. Andrew M.
Soule, president of the State Col
lege of Agriculture, the board of
trustees of the institution Tuesday
declared after a meeting, that his
salary of SB,OOO a. year is justified,
and that it is paid in a regular
and legal manner.
The board's statement is made in
reply to a recent report by State
Auditor Samuel J. Slate to Gover
nor Clifford Walker that the man
ner in which the salary is paid is
illegal and also questioning the
amount. The board said not only
is the amount considered by it
reasonable, but that it would feel
justified in increasing it if that
were necessary to retain his serv
ices.
In reply to Mr. Slate's criticism
of tlie board’s purchase of two
automobiles of expensive make, the
board, in its findings, which are di
rected to Governor Walker, points
out that the purchase of these cars
has been an economy rather than
an expense. It that they have
traveled more than 50,000 miles since
their purchase, and that the cost of
travel per mile has been five cents.
The board also ventures to say that
if the number of persons taken in
tlie ears on these trips were taken
into consideration, the cost per mile
would be much less than five cents.
The board does suggest to Gover
nor Walker, however, that the legis
lature might drop from the act un
der xvhich Dr. Soule is paid his sal
ary the language which made it pos
sible for Mr. Slate to make his criti
cism. It states in this regard that
even this step is not necessary, for
tlie board has full power to name
Dr. Soule’s salary and to transact
other matters regarding the welfare
of the institution.
Among the members of the board
present at the meeting today was
J. J. Brown, state commissioner of
agriculture, who took occasion to
say that he heartily approved of,
the action of the board ip fixing the'
salary of Dr. Soule and in tlie pur
chase of the Cadillac atuomobiles,
that the salary of Dr. Rtule was
lower than that paid many other
officials for less service, that the
state department of agriculture ful
ly recognized the great and effec
tive work of Dr. Soule as its presi
dent. and that the college has now
and will continue to have at all times
the hearty co-operation of the state
department in the great work it is
doing for the people of the state of
Georgia and the entire south.
The following members of the
board were present at the meeting:
L. G. Hardman. Commerce: J. J.
Conner. Cartersville; Frank T. Kidd,
Hartwell; W; E. Simmons, Lawrence
ville-; J. E. 1 lays, Montezuma: J. A.

Postoffice Employe
Gets $ 1,000 Award
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.—An
award of $1,006. the highest yet
made by the postoffice department
for inventions nd labor-saving de
vices, was made today by Post
master General New to Richard
