Joseph E. Boston, secretary mid
treasurer of the Georgia Savings
Bank & Trust Company.
By JOSEPH E. BOSTON.
If I were asked whether Atlanta's
growth had been, uniform, in all things
that go to make up a great city. I would
say that I thought her growth slightly
lop-sided, with lhe dent indicating the
savings habit. ■ ■ ■ .
Fifteen years ago Atlanta had no
savings batiks and consequently her
people had no opportunity nor encour
agement to save; The hanks required
upward of SSO to open an account, and
because of this the working people cul
tivated the spending habit.
Today every issue, of every paper
published, in Atlanta carries invitations
from some of the numerous banks to
start an account for. sl. thus putting it
w ithin easy reach of every .man, wom
an and child to save. In consequence
of this, thousands of people have theif
litjle "nest eggs’’ who otherwise would
not have saved a penny anil the banks
of Atlanta have several millions of dol
lars in their savings department be
longing mainly to the working people.
This is a wonderful advant' in less
than fifteen years, and. yet, compared to
some other cities of the same size, we
have just begun to learn to save. There
are cities in the East no larger than
Marietta or Griffin that-have as much
or more in theft savings banks as we
have in’Atlanta Sifted dow n to its last
analysis, the reason for this difieren.ee
is in the savings'habit. Parents there
open accounts for their .children and
they are taught to save as a part-of
their education, and this has been go
ing on for generations. Let's all get
the ’’savings habit” in Atlanta and
make this dent a bump in our city’s
physical make-up.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. May 25. Our market
.lost-jtbmit io points in lhe early trading,
but. as has been frequently the ease in
the past, was soon pulled up by the firm
ness in the Northern market. 'The an
nouncement from Washington that the
bureau report on .June 4 will also give the
at —cage brought further buying on the
market The opinion evidently prevails
that the report will be made more bullish
by tiie acreage figures, 'l he market was
also slimulateii by a report circulated in
New York that Secretary Wilson had
made the remark that acreage in over
flowed districts will he much less than
usual. We know nothing of this, but re
fer- to the bulletin of. his department «>n
May 18 to the effect that cotton may he
planted in overflowed districts as late as
June 15. with prospects of a fair crop
under normal conditions thereafter, and
(hat the danger from boll weevil will be
much reduced.
Withotu going <*u; into details every
'ning points to the existence of some
largo -bull interests in the market who
are making efforts to defend prices dur
ing this spell of fine weather and rapid
crop iw'ogress The markets next Week
will l>e principally occupied with arrang
ing interests for the bureau publication.
As the .June condition report deals
principally with the condition of land, a
lotv condition figure is expected, present
opinion plaeihg it under 70. against 87.8
last year and a ten-,rear average of 81 5.
Five minutes before the close Washing
ton again corrected the ptibhcfition of the
bureau repiet. and says only a condition
report will Be issued on June 4, the acre
age report to be issued in .fitly.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: While
Friday s cotton market advance was
looked upon as.a thing of custom ami not
tn he too seriously regarded by shorts,
them was. in the opinion of men who
study statistics, good cause for It. In lhe
first place, professional bears who are all
leaded with favorable crop reports, argu
ments and data, seem not inclined to '
start the avalanche which they’ so freely '
predict. The bulls are In the minority. '
and as a result are looking for the pres- '
enve of speculative short interest, must
therefore be admitted. Hence. lhe
promptness of the market to steady up
after each heavy period, particularly when
the talent finds time to analize the sta
tistic* During the week 69.000 bales
came into sight, as against 132.000 in
1909. while 221.000 passed out of sight,
against 192,000 in 1909. I’ntil six weeks
ago the weekly into-sight movement ran
well ahead of 1909 Since then the move
ment has been running behind, the .figures
for the six weeks being, in 1909, 843.000
bales; in 1912. 648,000. a relative boss this
year during the period of almost 200.000,
or 35.000 bales a week, under 1909. Dur
ing the same six’ weeks the visible sup
ply <>f American cotton has lost 1.064.000.
or 482’.000 bales more than lost in that
period in 1909. Spinners’ takings contin
ue to run on a record scale and to date
amount to 12,619.000. Thus it is shown
that while the into-sight movement shows
a heavy relative decrease each week under
1 909 the out-of-sight movement shows a
heavy' relative increase over 1909. and the
season of 1908-09 established the previous
record yield and consumption.
