COTTON.
NEW YORK, June 25.—The cotton mar
ket opened this morning with a firin tone,
showing a net gain 5 to 9 points over the
closing of yesterday. The unfavorable
weather over conditons over most of the
cotton belt, heavy rain fell throughout the
southwest, central and eastern states, this
set the local and uptown to buying.
Liverpool cables were much better than
expected, the strength in that market
reported to be caused from the? buying by
jobbers In early sales, and sentiments be
. coming more bullish on fear of bad crop
reports.

Good Weather. Lower Cables,

bine to Pul! Prices Down.
NEW YORK, June 24. Disappointing
Liverpool cables and liberal selling, oc
casioned by the weather map, affected our
market on the opening with a decline of
3 to 9 points. Liverpool cabkes market
declined in consequence of favorable
weather ami selling orders from the con
» in ent.
During the first half-hour the market
developed a firm tune on the report is
sued by Cordill, wno is out with report
on part of Georgia, not so good as ex
pected.
After the call, scattering covering and
buying for the New Orleans accounts i
brought about a rally, carrying prices 1
to 6 points above the opening. This rally
only lasted a few minutes and the mar
ket became weak, duo to the favorable
weather condition over the belt, and the
government predicting another week of
good weather, and the market shown a
backward trend with prices sagging back
to the opening. The bears anticipate still
lower prices before the close The buy
ing power was moderate and scattered.
Spot houses shown good demand for
spots, however, there was very little for
sale, the belief is that spots have almost
petered out.
At the close the market was steady
with prices unchanged to 5 points lower
than the Saturday’s close.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. June 24.--Weather
conditions over Sunday were favorable
Dry, warm weather prevailed in the east
ern states, while light to moderate scat
tered showers covered central and west
ern states. The dreaded heat wave did
not materialize; on the contrary, Wash
ington predicts another week of favorable
weather: generally fait with normal tem
peratures.
Liverpool was about 5 points lower than
due, but promptly followed the rally in
New York. Spots .3 points lower. An old
farmer and ginner, over 30 years in the
same locality, writes from a point in south
Texas: “Crop immense; best of my rec
ollection. Already many half-grown bolls
and blooming all over, while growing
continually. Already 2 to .3 feet high,
No insects at ail. Not a weevil can be
found. An English buyer who left for
Liverpool Saturday offered 50 cents for a
weevil during the whole week without
getting any even after raising his limit to
sl. Think of over five-million for Texas
assured. Plenty of old cotton in our com
presses yet, which people now think of
selling."
A farmer writes from Arkansas that a
six-hundred-acre place which, on April 17
was overflowed, now has a good crop. The
market opened easier, but was soon
strongly supported and rallied, 'rhe fact
that the least apparently unfavorable
crop report even if unimportant, is being
given preference over the volume of good
reports and facts, shows bullish indica
tions prevailing.

NEW YORK, June 24.—Carpenter, Hag

some selling by Wall street and. local pro
fessionals.
The principal buying is thought to be ,
from New Orleans, undoing straddles and I
covering by uptowns shorts. Outside!
business light.
There seems to be a fair demand for ;
new crop and hot much pressure to sell.
Cordill is out with a report on part of ■
Georgia not so good as expected.
Market is being bought on Cordill’s re
port.
Dallas wires: “Texas generally cloudy
and cool; good rains in Weatherford, Dal
las. San Antonio, Marietta. Quanah. Ar
lington, Aledo, Strawn, Colorado City to
Tonah, Greenville, Longview. Lancaster;
scattered light rains east. Oklahoma,
clear to partly cloudy and cool.”
’l’he Memphis Commercial-Appeal says:
Rains over the western part of the cotton
belt and clear open weather in the East
made the past week a good one on the
cotton crop. Progress was made, general
ly speaking, both in plant growth and cul
tivation, although, in plant growth, some
what retarded, the former by unseasona
bly low temperatures and the latter by
rains. In the west, where most of the
tains.of the week fell, the soil was al
ready at a high state of cultivation and
the fields were clean. In that part of
the belt the week was unusually favora
ble. as the moisture the crop received was
just the one thing that is needed. All
over Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas,
heavy rain fell, and good general rain fell
in Arkansas, Louisiana. Mississippi and
Tennessee. In all these states, cultiva
tion is well advanced. In the east
progress was made, due to open weather,
although temperatures were too cool for
the Best results of the plant.

STATE EXPERT SAYS
COTTON CROP WILL
BE SHORT THIS YEAR
E. Lee Worsham, state entomologist,
who has just completed a trip over the
state, is not impressed witli Georgia’s
prospects for a good, big cotton crop.
Mr. Worsham took a decidedly pes
simistic view of cotton conditions in
general today, asserting that if the
August influx of the cotton caterpillar
proves as damaging as usual, Georgia
will be lucky to get away in the fall
with a 65 per cent crop.
The recent intrusion of the army
worm, however, Mr. Worsham said, had
been chocked to a large extent. A. ('.
Lewis, assistant entomologist, who kaf
been in the field sim e the army worm
appeared in south Georgia, reports the
situation well in hand at Tifton. Bax
ley, Hazlehurst. Pelham and Thomas
ville.
P. D. Willingham writes that the
worm has appeared in Bibb uounty just
south of Macon in large numbers.
STATE PRINTER BYRD
FULLY VINDICATED BY
REPORT OF EXAMINER
In a lette: sent broadcast today
Charles P. Byrd, sttae printer, deciares
that he is absolutely vindicated by the
I report of Frank J. Cohen, txpert print
er, who investigated the chaiges thai
Byrd had violated his contract with the
state. He declares that he m ule no
answer to the accu-ations against him
because he he had complied fully
with all the requirements of iiis posi
tion.
He points out that .Mr. ('omn's re
port finds that instead of Byrd owing
tile .state, the state owes Byrd 569.98.
tile difference between undercliargi s
and overcharges.
Mr. Cohen also finds that Byrd
couldn't use "small pica’’ as specified
by law, because there is non- of that
tjpe now in existemc So Mr. Byi.i
was perfectly Justified, Cohen adds, in
using eleven point, w hich 1.- te< r>gniz< <i
over the entire country as being the
nearest thing to small pica.
Mr. Cohen's conclusion is that the
state law shmtlii be revamped to make
the specifications more explicit.

Respects to Board of Trade’s
Late Secretary.
CHICAGO. June 24. There was no ses
sion of the Board of Trade today, adjourn
ment being taken as a mark of respect to
and because of the funeral of the late Sec-<
ret ary George F. Stone.
There were only a. small number of
speculators on the Board of Trade curb
today, and they were bearish on wheat
almost to a man. Telegraphic advices
from Kansas report the harvesting in the
south part of that state as general to
day. and that the crop will be larger than
looked for two ago. The govern
ment weekly forecast predicts generally
(fair weather for this week in that terri
tory. There were rains in Oklahoma Sun
day, but this will cause no delay.
Northwestern receipts were 272 cars
and Winnipeg 236, compared with 326 and
260 cars, respectively, a year ago. ■
The Knglikh markets were easier in
wheat. Livrepool being ’4d lower and
London reported wheat on passage as
to 3d lower.
There was a sharp upturn in the price
of wheat at Paris, where gains were
shown of ’ 4 c to 2 r, gC and flour unchanged
to 3c higher.
There is a bull party In corn and that
cereal is likely to hold well, although the
weather conditions are against the pres
ent prices
World’s shipments for the week were
large at 8,472,000 bushels, compared with
9,123,000 bushels the previous weefc and
5,035,000 bushels a year ago.
Liverpool was easier and unchanged to
