BANK DEPOSITS WE BIG GAIN Whence Has Come This In- crease of $400,000,000 in Twelve Months? By B. C. FORBES. YORK, May 23. Every day (or a whole year our national banks have added an average of more than a million dollars to their deposits. The total gain has exceeded *400,000,000. Whence has e tnone.\ come? Has the nation been exercising thrift? o r have funds formerly 'ised in business been released through contraction in aetivitg and placed in banks mitd needed? Roth. I believe, with, how mer. emphasis on the thrift, for trade has not been so abnormally dull. * * • ' rise in the price of food and clothing ■mts into the possible savings of millions. here the margin between income and absolutely necessary outlays for living xpenses has always been slender, the ad vance in prices during the last two years \' as made saving impossible in many in stances. But other millions of our popu lation—fortunately—are not eternally ninched to make ends meet. They habit ually spend more than compelled to. When -Kies are clear, when hope and confidence run high, w hen prosperity lightens up the face of the, whole country, these millions d.o no, look twice at a dollar before spend ng it.

Moore, are also resi dents of Atlanta. land—far from it. Why. American rail roads never before carried so much traf fic, our mines never produced larger quan tities of metals, our seaports never han dled an equal volume of imports and ex ports. During the ten months ended April .20 our exports reached the wholly unpre cedented total of *1.890,000,000, nearjy three times the figure for 1895, and more *han *400,000,000 larger than in 1909 and 1910. Not only so. but despite all the wailing about shrinking exports of agri cultural commodities the government re turns show that these were heaviet 4 during the last ten months than in any other year for which comparisons are at hand. To tal merchandise imports, too, have broken all previous records. The ten months' aggregate was *1,367.000,000. The bal ance of exports was thus *523,000,000, a very tidy sum, the best since 1901, with the exception of the abnormal post-panic year. • * ♦ The average firm is today carrying on operations without the aid of a normal amount of credit. Said the vice presi dent of New York's strongest commercial bank to me this week: “Our lines of credit were never so light as they are this season. People don't want money. The finest grades of paper are extremely scarce. Everybody is act ing cautiously. At heart they want to go ahead, but they are held in leash by po litical uncertainties, especially the tariff. There should be a forward movement about the end of next month, when can didates and platforms will not be so prob lematical. By the way,” he added. “I hear Roosevelt and Bryan spoken of. I could not conscientiously vote for either. ’ Ask any business man and he will tell you The Georgian Want Ad columns reach more people and bring better results that could not be obtained in any other medium in this section.

NEW YORK May 23.—Although the cotton market opened steady today with first prices 2 to 5 points off. there was no special feature in the early trading. Mar ket indications were that accounts were being evened up and that traders would operate along conservative lines, pending publication of the government report. The opening o the market was very quiet, with trading light until around noon, when two prominent operators were noticeable sellers. Buying was scattered. Sentiment is bearish and the ring was in clined to sell, • In the afternoon, while trading was limited, prices sold steadily, at 2 o'clock declines of 8 to 12 points being noted. At the close the market was barely steady 11 to 13 points below the final quo tations of Wednesday. I RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURSS.

HAYWARD i CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. May 23.—Liverpool came in easier today on futures and spots, which latter were 3 points lower: sales, 8,000 bales. London cabled: "English miners seem inclined to renew coal strike.” Natchez. Miss., says overflow waters are receding. There has been a fall of ten inches in the past eight days and the fall will be more rapid from now on. Tylertown. Miss., says: “Farmers have been very busy in the last few days. Rain needed now to bring up late planted cotton.” Other points in the central belt also say that some rain now would be welcome. The into-siglit for the week looks around 72,000. against 75.176 last year and 93.744 in 1910. Absence of demand to bring cotton into sight is responsible for the small movement. The steady growth ' of interior stocks as compared with other years shows that the cotton is there. Comparisons of mill takings for the week are ./expected bullish, as takings last year were only 186,000 bales. Liverpool will be closed Saturday and Monday. This exchange announced that the future business would be suspended Monday, June 3, local legal holiday. Our market lost about 8 points in the early trading, but held steady around 11.43 for October. Old crops, however, weakened. There is some selling of July by spot interests owing to the absence of demand, and also liquidation of straddle commitments. The straddle interest, long of July and short of October, is thought to be quite large. There is some little local demand by exporters to com plete May shipments, but it now turns out that May export commitments are not nearly as large as it was supposed some time ago RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

June 3 (Decoration day). The New Orleans Times Democrat: Limited trading in contracts, less sur face evidence of demand for the actual for export and a steadier tone and higher price tn the spot division gave the talent something to thing about, but very little to do. The New England and Southern mills made active inquiry for supplies, but New Orleans merchants were unable to fill the orders at the limit named be cause of the scarcity of available cotton here and in the surrounding territory. The New Orleans stock, including 1,500 bales of low grade rejections and many bales of samples, linters, etc., now stands at 43.231, against 83,001 on the same day in 191. Again the weather map indi cated favorable climatic conditions over the belt, with the exception of some un seasonably high temperatures in Texas. Haskell, in that state, reported 102 de grees maximum. The Texas temperature report led to the belief that complaint of hot winds would come from the West within a day or two. but the weather map readers declared they had found good reason to believe that cold rains would fall over a large portion of the belt around the week-end. Good weather has. of course, improved the general crop situation a great deal, and at the mo ment the drift of things encourages the large crop man to a marked degree. I’n der the circumstances less is heard of poor stands, of backwardness, of surface roots, etc., than would be the case were the sun not shining day after day. However, this does not necessarily mean that the crop has fully overcome all han dicaps or that the plant over the belt as a whole is healthy and strong enough to withstand all the midsummer trials of a normal season POULTRY.

TOBACCO TAKES LEM IK STOCKS Tone Is Quiet in Other Issues, With Price Fluctuations Very Narrow. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK. May 23.—Strength in American Tobacco common was the fea ture of the stock market at the opening today. This issue rose 2*4 to 269 as a re sult of vigorous buying. Tobacco com pany stock seemed to be scarce, and it was difficult to obtain shares even after the advance. Although there were some sharp reces sions al the start, a stronger tone devel oped and at the end of fifteen minut-s trading many issues had made substan tial gains. American Smelting, which opened lower at 86*4, was one of the most active industrials on the list, advancing to 87 in the first few minutes of trading. The’» was also aggressive buying in American Can common, which, after yielding slight ly at the start, advanced % to above 39. A number of the specialties were strong. United States Steel opened ’* lower, but later recovered. Reading was up L and Lehigh Valley gained *4. Canadian Pacific was under pressure in the Ixmdon market, but was supported here, opening * 4 c higher. The curb was irregular. Americans in London were strong The market was quiet in the late fore noon and fluctuations in the leading is sues reflected shifting of position of some of the room traders. Reading and Lehigh Vallej’ were under pressure, declining 1 point each, and fractional declines were recorded in other important railroads and in a few industrials. American Tobacco stock continued prominent in the late afternoon trading, advancing to 272 and showing a gain of more than 5 points for the day. A mod erately firm tone was shown in a num ber of important railroads, including Le high Valley, Reading and Union Pacific.

It will probably be the sad duty of Governor Joseph M. Brown to make known this doleful information to Mrs. Joseph Salzer, widow of a sta tioner in Luxembourg. Mrs. Salzer, who signs herself Veuve Salzer, has written the governor in angular script and quaint English con cerning Gaspar Breuer-Wirtz, a Ger man owne’ of Georgia mines worth *28,000,000. Breuner-Wirtz died three years ago. The woman's letter, asking real in formation about the fabulous wealth the old German is said to have owned, buried in the red clay hills of Georgia, reads in part: “The named Breuei-Wirtz owned property of mines in the state of Geor gia is dide three years. He formerly resided in Germany. Where has he resided there? Who is administrator of his fortune'.’ He left $28,000,000. Has left a testament Hope you will be kind to inform me.” It is generally known that all gold mines in Georgia are hardly worth *28.000.000, except for advertising pur poses. but *28.000.000 in mining stock could be found in most anv old Georgia town in Half a day. “MADE - IN - ATLANTA” EXHIBITION PLANNED BY MANUFACTURERS Sixty of the leading manufacturers of Atlanta will meet tonight at the Capital Citj club with President Wil mer I.
