NEW YORK. May B.—ln line with
weaker cables from Liverpool the cotton,
market opened 11 to 16 points lower to
day Bearish operations were also helped
by predictions for fair weather over the
belt. Recent buyers became heavy sell
ers, but this pressure was offset by a
few Wall Street houses which supported
the market. After the call there was a
rally of about a half-dozen points.
Liverpool fully' met the decline of yes
terday. but buying here was good and al!
offerings were rapidly' absorbed by strong
Interests. The original bull traders were
credited with the principal buying, while
the local scalpers sold, and one would
Judge that the ring crowd are short a’
the moment, based on predictions of bet
ter weather the next few days. New Or
leans and New York experts say we may
expect clearing weather in the central
and eastern belt by tomorrow There was
a good deal of long cotton sold yester
day, which the sellers are anxious to re
place at'lower prices and there is no rea
son to fear a decline of any consequence
At the close the market was steady at
a rally of from 10 to 13 points from the
low levels on the active position, anti at
declines of 6 to 10 points as compared
with Tuesday’s closing.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. May 8 —The weather
map show ed improved weather conditions
Liverpool showed a sharp break of 9
points on futures and 8 points lower on
spots, sales 8,000 bales, but improved in
the last hour on the better tone of our
markets.
First trades here were at a decline of
8 to 11 points, but th?re was a good gen
eral demand induced, principally by the
official weather forecasts promising show
ers west of the Atlamtics. The feeling is
so nervous over the weather that if the
word “showers' appears in forecasts it
is sufficient to induce buying.
A point in North Carolina which has
had as much rain as some of the wettest
sections of Mississippi wires: “The own
er of section 66 plantation, about 1.000
acres, savs his cotton is squaring up nice
lv. ’
The movement for the half week at the
thirteen leading interior towns reflects
the late quietness m spot business. Re
ceipts 16.837, against 10.363 last year
Loss in stock only 9.000. against 19,000 last,
year The average weight per bale for
the belt at the end of the first, eight
months of the season is given as 518.54,
against 518.81 last year.
Information from New York regarding
yesterday's developments is to the effect
that leading interests have liquidated
heavily The Waldorf crowd were re
ported buyers this morning, but support
by such interests as McFadden has not
been heard of for some time. Public feel
ing is with the bull side, greatly strength
ened by the rapid recovery from the last,
break, and belief in the prophecy of a w'et

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, May 6.—With the excep-
I tion of Reading there was practically no
j demand for stocks at the opening of the
I stock market today, and as a result prices
I were off. Reading opened % higher, but
at the end of fifteen minutes buying
turned into selling and the issue lost all
its gain and % additional. The better
tone which prevailed late yesterday was
. not maintained, at the opening, and the
; list ruled heavy One of the most active
, of the stocks was American Smelting.

Losses of % or more were scored In
United States Steel. Amalgamated Cop
per and a number of others. The copper
. stocks were under pressure in London, as
well as tn New York
1 I’anadian Pacific was another issue ad
versely affected through London selling
before the local market opened. It was
%c lower at the outset and the loss soon
aggregated a point. Lehigh Valley opened
unchanged, but lost %c subsequently.
Erie common was up % and Southern Pa
cific was up %.
Among the declines were Union Pacific
1 Atchison % and Baltimore and Ohio v 4.
The curb was irregular
Americans in London showed early im
provement. then reacted.
The tone continued unsettled in the late
■ I forenoon and the advance established in
J the early trading failed to restore confi
dence to any degree tn the speculative
. situation Steel common was heavy
owing to the lack of support, declining 1
point The heaviness in this leading in
dustrial was effective In forcing reces
sions in many other industrials. New

NEW ORLEANS. May B.—The weather
map is better than expected. Shows Pair
in eastern Alabama and all of the At

the remainder of the belt: rather general
show’ers in eastern half of belt, but rain
was generally light, except on coast dis
trict. where some heav\ rains occurred
Some good rains in northwest Texas In
dications are fnr improving weather, part
ly cloudy to fair, with probably a few
scattered local showers, but no indications
for general or heavy rains.
New York wires: "McFadden inter
ests credited with depressing the market,
generally believed to create a buying ba
sis. Sentiment growing more bullish.
Getting broader. Fearing a wet May.
which might easily cause a more rapid
and extensive advance than has yet re
sulted from trade conditions. Market po
sition healthy, with shorts and sold-out
bulls waiting a chance to buy. Season
now so far* advanced that damage to cot
ton already planted has become even
more serious than delay to preparation
soil Trade will soon learn that a wet
Mav brings more disaster to crop than
August drouth or insects Expect mate
rially higher market in near future."
The official average weight per hale for
the belt at the end of the eight months
of the season is given as 518.54. against
516 81 last year.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat: Re
actions are not illogical at this time, but
seem to come with due regularity after
dips as well as bulges The new crop is
being menaced by a bad start, and the
monster old supply Is being absorbed at
a rate that might alarm somebody had
not anybody become accustomed to con
stant heavy off-take That there is short
interest in the actual stuff In the. local
market, is assorted by many leading ex
porters, that the actual bale Is held in
esteem in the South is shown by yester
day s spot advance of 1-I6c at Savannah,
of ’rc at Augusta and Norfolk and of
3-16 cat Mobile. In New Orleans, the
unsold stock has shrunk to small propor
tions Meanwhile the bull faction insists
on judging general trade conditions by
the volume of cotton passing to the mills,
and the bear faction insists on judging
general trade conditions by the volume of
new business that turns up each and
every day The mills have bought up the
supply from the yield of 1911 and have
also bought some cotton to come from the
vield of 1912 for deliver in September and
October, says the bull The mills have
quit buying and have not bought any cot
ton to speak of since prices climbed above
9 cents, says the hear. And there the
argument rests.

The Test of Time
Time is the supreme test of
everything. And for any business
organization to have passed through
nearlv half a century of unqualified suc
cess is the best proof attainable that its
policy is right, and that its transac
tions are prompt and in every way sat
isfactory to all concerned.
For nearly fifty years the ATLANTA
NATIONAL BANK has conducted a
business that is strictly first-class in
every detail: and instead of sinking un
flor the weight of straitened conditions,
financially and otherwise, such tests
have so strengthened its hold upon the
people that today it ranks among the
most thoroughly reliable banks in the
entire South.
