NEW YORK, July 20 Weakness In
the English market and greatly Im
proved weather conditions in the At
fantics and the eastern belt had a very
depressing effect on the cotton market to- ,
flay, opening prices 6 to 10 points below
the previous close. I-ater In the early
trading the reported prospects of further
general rains In Texas caused a heavy
selling wave to prevail on the market with
a further decline of 3 to 5 points
Scattered buying after the call caused
a rally of several points, but later local
professionals and Western interests cold
freely taking profit. Late In the short
•esslon trading the market became quiet,
with spot interest trading largely on near
crop positions At the close the market
developed a steady tone with prices show
ing net losses from 4 to 8 points from the
final quotations < f Friday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July 20.—Liverpool
ghowed surprising weakness today, closing .
6 to 7 points lower th- i due, with spot
prices 5 points lower; sales 5,000 bales
Cables reported large continental selling
' probable In consequence of political de
velopments. Many explanatory articles
have apeared lately att7 111 ilng the mar
ket decline In European standard secur
ities to peaceful reason, principally the
exchange for other values bearing more
interest. These arguments have been
rather offset by a frank admission ap
pearing in tlie London press today to the
effect that the sharp decline in consols is
partially attributed to the naval engage
ment in Turkish waters, and nervousness
over possible European complications.
With foreign mills carry ing largo re- .
serve supplies of raw material and goods,
the apearance of any real menace to peace
would create a large hedge selling move- i
ment. particularly as we are on the
threshhold of another supply.
Our market declined in the early trad
ing to 42 50 for October, but met a rather
bad demand on the decline, and soon ral
lied to 12.58. Bullish opinion lately seems
to have developed much more strongly
than appears on the surface There is a
growing belief that the crop east of the 1
Mississippi river, w ith the exception of the
Carolinas, is in such a condition that only
unusually perfect weather can make it
produce a good yield It is feared that a
sudden change to excessive heat and sun
shine would cause as much damage as
continued rains. Georgia. Mississippi and
Tennessee are expected to show c-nsid-.
buteati report.

COTTON.
NEW YORK, July 22.—Exceedingly
weak cables caused a depressing effect
upon the cotton market today, opening
, prices 6to 13 points lower An unloading
movement by the ring crowd developed
after the call, which carried prices off
from 3 to 6 points from the early range.
This selling wave was due to the greatly
improved weather map.

MR. 0. B. DAVENPORT
PRAISES THE SOUTHERN
BUSINESS COLLEGE
He Investigated the Merits of Va- j
rious Business Colleges and,
Then Selected the Long Estab
lished Southern Shorthand and
Business University at Which
To Take a Business Course.
The Graham-Pitmanic Shorthand,
Taught at the Southern, Best
in Existence For Making
Experts.
A school of reputation!
It pays to attend such an institution.
Yesterday a young man came to At
lanta from Alabama with a scholarship
in his pocket which had been given him
free of cost, but after examination of
conditions and a diligent inquiry here,
he preferred to enter the Southern
Business College, and accordingly paid
the full price for a scholarship in this
famous school.
Mr. O B. Davenport, who came to
Atlanta from Richland, Ga., about three
months ago. has already taken a course
in Bookkeeping and Typewriting at the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni
versity, 10 1-2 West Mitchell street, and
now occupies a responsible position
with the Supreme Lodge, Masonic Ben
efit Association, of this city, as a result
of his business training in this long
established Business school.
In order that his friends, acquain
tances and the public generally may
know more about the many advantages
of the college he attended, Mr. Daven
port writes the following letter, ex
pressing h’s gratitude and telling of
his good fortune in selecting a school of
such favorable reputation.
It’s- a great thing to attend a Business
school that the business men like—they
all like the Southern, because, they say,
Its students are more thoroughly train
ed and give better satisfaction as ste
nographers and bookkeepers. It is,
therefore, more advisable to attend the
Southern, at Its moderate cost, than to
attend some schools if tuition could be
obtained free.
