Boston, secretary and 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 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. ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET. (By W. H. White. Jr., of the White Pro viefon Company.)

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. 4 * •h WEEKLY COTTON STATISTICS, -b v . . .
