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 the dent indicating the
savings habit.
Fifteen years ago Atlanta had no
savings banks and consequently her
people had no opportunity nor encour
agement to save. The banks 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
within easy reach of every man, wom
an and child to save. In consequence
of this, thousands of people have their
little “nest eggs" who otherwise would
hot have saved a penny and 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 advance in less
than fifteen years, and yet. compared to
some qther 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 their savings banks as we
have in Atlanta. Sifted down to its last
analysis, the reason for this difference
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.

HAYWARD 4. CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 35.—Our inArket
lost about 10 points in the early trading,
but, as has been frequently the case 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
acreage brought further buying on the
market. The opinion evidently prevails
that the report w 111 be made more bullish
by the acreage figures. The market was
also stimulated by a report circulated in
New York that Secretary Wilson had
made the remark that acreage in over
flowed districts will be much less than
usual. We know nothing of this, but re
fer to the bulletin of his department on
May 18 to the effect that cotton may be
planted in overflowed districts as late as
June 15. with prospects of a fair crop
under normal conditions thereafter, and
that the danger from boll weevil will be
much reduced.
Without going far into details every
thing points to the existence of some
large bull Interests in the market who
are making efforts to defend prices dur
ing this spell of fine weather and rapid
crop progress. The markets nexl week
will be principally occupied with arrang
ing interests for the bureau publication.
As the June condition report deals
principally with the condition of land, a
low condition figure is expected, present
opinion placing it under 70. against 87.8
last year and a ten-year average of 81.5.
Five minutes before the close Washing
ton again corrected the publication of the
bureau report, and says only a condition
report will be issued on June 4. the acre
age report to be issued In July.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: While
Friday’s cotton market advance was
looked upon as a thing of custom and not
to be too seriously regarded by shorts,
there was. in the opinion of men who
study statistics, good cause for it. In the
first place, professional bears who are ail
loaded with favorable crop reports, argu
ments and data, seem not inclined to
start the avalanche which they so freely
predict. The hulls are In the minority,
and as a result are looking for the pres
ence of speculative short interest, must
therefore be admitted. Hence. the
promptness of the market to steady up
after each heavy period, particularly when
the talent finds t|m« to analize the sta
tistics. During the w’eek .69,000 bales
came Into sight, as against 132,000 in
1909. while 221.000 passed out of sight,
against 192,000 in 1909. Until 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 w'eeks being, in 1909. 843,000
bales: in 1.912. 648,000. a relative loss this
year- during the period of almost 200,000.
•V 35.000 bales a week, under >909. Dur
ing the same six -woelcs the visible sup
ply Os. Ameripap cotton has lost 1.064,000,
or 482.000 bales 'more than lost in that
period in 1909. Spinners' takings contin
ue to run <>n a record scale and to date
amount to 12,619,000. Thus it is shown
that while the iritb-sight inovemenf sh<»ws
a heavy relative decrease each week under
1909 the out-of-sight movement shows a
heavy relative increase over 3 909, and the
season of 1908-00 established the previous
recoril yield and consumption.

CHICAGO, May 25.—Wheat was % to

smaller, but tilts was offset by good rains
in Kansas, where most needed. Cash
wheat was active and strong
Corn was % to %c higher with the Maj
neglected early.
Oats were up % to %e on shorts buy
ing. There were no cables from Liver
pool, owing to the Whitsuntide holiday.
Provisions were fractionally lower with
hogs.
There was a weather market in wheat
today. Many of those wlto fought the
strength in wheat early were on the buy
ing side late, not caring to remain short
over Sunday. The close was nervous and
choppy and final prices were % to %e
higher. The cash demand for wheat was
smaller, with sales of only 30.000 bushels
to interior millers for the dav. There was
talk of a round 10l of wheat having
changed hands, but this was not con
firmed late in the day.
Corn closed % to %e better. It devel
oped today that corn shorts have agents
scouring the country for the actual grain
Oats closed % to l%c better on good
demand.
Provisions were firmer. Commission
houses were fair buyers.
