8 COTTON DROPS; CABLES WEAK Trading More Concentrated and of Good Character—Bet ter Weather Map. 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.

CLARK’S 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.

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. Atlanta. Ga . July IR, 1912.
