THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS- WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1912. M GOES UP ftSSHORTSCOVER Market Under Buying Pressure on Unfavorable Weather in Eastern Belt. NEW YORK. Sept. 4. A resonant of yesterday's advance prevailed upon tip* cotton market today with prices a net i gain of y to 29 points from last night’s • close. The demand was persistent and the tone was strong. The predominant 1 factors were firm cables and unfavorable weather in the eastern belt. The begin- ' ning of the bull movement in Liverpool came just about the time of the New York openings, which added to its effect iveness. Some short covering pre- 1 vailed al the outset and October rallied from 10.20 to 10.30, while December rose • K points over tin first figures. After the call heavy realizing set in and prices re- ' ceiled in most active months 6 to 15 points from the early range, with the exception of December, which sagged about the , opening. As a result of the upward movement! which wa. thus inaugurated here prices I so. n aggregated 55 points above the re- | cent low level Later, however, the mar- i ket became unsettled and prices devel oped irregularity. Some large spot interests began to bid the market up during the afternoon ses sion, combined with some short covering by the ring crowd, prices showing a ten dency io regain the early decline, with ; October displaying the phenomenal I strength of the list. This option stood 15 points above the opening, or 24 points j over the previous close. December at ! 10.51 being 29 points better than the pre- ; vious figures, while the remaining list I sagged around the early range. At the dose of today’s session the mar- i ket was steady with prices showing a net ; gain of 20 to 27 points above the final I quotations of Tuesday. _ Semi-weekly interior movement; -I ! 19 Receipts 71’.G41 48’898'36,337 j Shipments 57,100'34,475 j8,;?7O ; Stocks ..... 7£,3Fj 5 * 11T Z 7 YO R K FUTU P —lllu 6 I - Sent. i'i.ioti.tom.0711.io 11.09-11 10.87-90 G ct - 11.20 11.38 11.20 11.32 11.31-33111.11-12 I Nov.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4 -Augusta, Ga.. reduces spot prices from 12to 11 cents yesterday. Although Liverpool Should improve most, owing to the dock ; strike at Galvt ston. it was rather poor ■ with futures about 3 points lower than i due. but advanced in the last half hour I before the opening of our market, prob- i ably on support from New York. ' )ur i market followed with 10 to 15 points ad- I vance. The technical situation in futures ! and spots is not as strong at present as it was last year at this time. Traders j have been more cautious on short side in futures and much less has been sold short : ahead by spot people. The following from San Antonio todav: “Weather fine for gathering crop and every lock will be' saved. Yield in most i places is in excess of last ytar. although some localities report it short, while others : report it considerably better than lasi year Not a bale is being held." As tn the northern half of 'Texas, all information continues in favor of a much I larger yield than last year. New York i wired that shorts were covering and op erators taking the long side, expecting the \ugust deterioration to occur in Sep- : tember. This shows that earlv ideas of ! crop ruin still linger. Meanwhile the ! crop has steadily progressed and over- | come much of its early lateness ami there is nothing in the weather now to cause I any concern. Market eased after the. first advanei i gave out and is at present following New j York on the advance.

I National Ginners’ report will be ptib i lished September 9 at 9 a. in., our time, I giving ginnings to September 1 The ? ew Orleans Times-Democrat says: I Yesterday’s cotton market advanced in . the face of an official crop condition per- i centag.- figure of 74.8. as contrasted with ! 73.2 last year, and in spite of Secretary Hester’s compilation showing a coimner- I cial crop of 16,138.000. Why? The bull’ will teli you speculators generally are short up to their chins, and that Mr. i Hester’s world’s consumption of American [cotton in the. year ending August 31. 1912. | I of 14.515.000, an increase of 2.461,000 ov< r ; | the previous year, was a little too much ' i for the rings to stand. On the other hand | the bear will tell yeu that the difference ; i of 1.397.000 bales between the year’s ex- i . ports of 10,687,00-'' and the year’s con i sumption of American cottbn by foreign | mills means that just that much more; t cotton is available to the foreign spinner 1 ;at the opening of the now season than I was available last year and that bulls, dis ' appointed, lifted the market through sheer ; force in order to get out their long lines. I The crop and consumption figtires, as given out by the New Orleans cotton ex-| | change are surprisingly large, and the fig ures yet to be given out will probably open the eyes of the trade wide: 1 than lever. During the closing days of August . , some of the cotton-carrying railroads learned that, through the detouring of 1 trains during overflows and as a result i of strikes <>n the Harriman system, some i 300,000 bales were handled, but not re- ' | ported.

Russian wheat was pressed for sale and there was some recovery at Liverpool on the bad weather on the continent. I noer selling bv local trades, prices eased off later. Corn was Ise to %c lower on good weather and increased offerings in the pit eoupled with receipts of nearlv I'oo cars here. Oats were '»<• to Vic higher, and this tin in the face of receipts of nearlv l,00( ears. Provision?: were stronger with hogs. Wheat closed stronger in tone wit! prices tx. t ( , higher. The price trend was considered a natural reaction, follow ing a three days' break in values. Scarc ity of ear;' to move grain, coupled wltt unfavorable weather throughout the belt helped. Corn finished strong with prices rang ing from '•2 to t :! ,c better. The most strength was shown in September, Ir. which options shorts covered freely. Oats were to " B e better at the dose' The market trailed the other grains. Provisions were sharply lower, pork being IT'i to 20c: lard 5 to l2Hc, and ribs, 7L. t" 17' 2 c off.
