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. ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET. ■ (By W. H. White, Jr., pf the White Pro vliion Company.)

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.

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. •> WEEKLY COTTON STATISTICS, j- F«»r lhe week ending May 21 Cotton Movement. , Secretary Hester’s New Orleans cotton . exchange statement of the movement of cotton shows a decrease in the move ment into sigh', compared with the seven days last year in round numbers. 6.000. a decrease under the same days year be fore last of 25,000. and a decrease under the same time in 1909 of 29,000.
