DOES NOT TRUST POLICE TO RUN DOWN BLACK HAND NEW YORK.

The re cipient was instructed to pay a cer tain sum of money on a certain date at a specified place, under penalty cf being blown up. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS- WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1912. COTTON GOES OP IS SHOOTS COM Market Under Buying Pressure on Unfavorable Weather in Eastern Belt. NEW YORK. Sept. 4 A resonant of yesterday s advance prevailed upon the cotton market today with prices a net gain of 9 to 29 points from last night s close. The demand was persistent and the tone was strong. The predominant 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 •venesß. Some short covering pre vailed at the outset and October rallied from 10.20 to 10.30, while December rose » points over the first figures. After the cal! heavy’ realizing set in and prices re ceded in most active months 6 to 15 points •rein the early range, with the exception 0 December, which sagged about the opening. As a result of the upward movement which wa« thus inaugurated here prices soon aggregated 55 points above the re cent low level. Later, however, the mar 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 r nc £ to re & a * n Ihe early decline, with October displaying the phenomenal strength of the list. This option stood 15 points above the opening, or 24 points °yer the previous close.

HAYWARD * CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 4. -Augusta. Ga.. reduces spot prices from It! 1 ; to H cents yesterday. Although Liverpool should improve most, owing to the dock strike at Galveston, it was rather poor with futures about 3 points lower than due. but advanced in the last half hour before the opening of our market, prob ably on support from New York. Uur market followed with 10 to 1.5 points ad vance. The technical situation in futures and spots is not as strong at present as it was last year at this time. Traders have been more cautious on short side in futures and much less Las been sold-short ahead by spot people. The following from San Antonio today: "Weather fine for gathering crop and every lock will be saved. Yield In most places Is in excess of last year, although some localities report it short, while others report it considerably better than last year. Not a bale is being held." As to the northern half of Texas, all information continues in favor of a much larger yield than last year. -New York wired that shorts were covering and op erators taking the long side, expecting the August deterioration to occur in Sep tember. This shows that early ideas of crop ruin still linger. Meanwhile the crop has steadily progressed and over come much of its early lateness and there is nothing in the weather now to cause any concern. Market eased after the first advance gave out and is nt present, following New York on the advance. Washington an nounces that the glnners report giving ginnings to September 1 will be pub lished September 9 at 9 a. m.. our time. Government detailed records show pretty gootl scattered rains in Texas, in the southern portion of the belt also since Friday. Several stations in Oklahoma re ported rain this morning and the weather map shows a big disturbance taking place in the lake states, which should bring general precipitation and cooler weather on the Southern states in a few days Spot people report demand small and no improvement notwithstanding the advance In the contract markets.

Indications are for stationary conditions, except cooler in the National Glnners’ report will bo pub lished September 9 at 9 a. in., our time, giving ginnings to September 1 The New’ Orleans Times-Democrat says: i eslerday’s cotton market advanced in the face of an official crop condition per centage figure of 74.8, as contrasted with 73.2 last year, and in spite of Secretary Hester’s compilation showing a commer cial crop of 16,138.000 W hy? The bull will tell you speculators generally are short up to their chins, and that Mr. Hester's world’s consumption of American cotton in the year ending August 31. 1912. of 14,515,000. an increase of 2.461,000 over the previous year, was a little too much for the rings to stand. On the other hand the bear will tell you that the difference cf 1,397.000 bales between the year’s ex ports of 10.687,000 and the year’s con sumption of American cotton by foreign mills means that just that much more cotton Is available to the foreign spinner at the opening of the new season than was available last year and that bulls, dis appointed, lifted the market through sheer force in order to get out their long lines. The crop and consumption figures, as I given out by the New Orleans cotton ex change are surprisingly large, and the tig tires yet to be given out will probably ’ open the e.ses of the trade wider than ! over. During the closing days of August some of the cotton-carrying railroads learned that, through the detouring of i trains during overflows and as a result of strikes on the Harriman system, some I .‘X'9.090 bales were handled, but not re ported.

Cables were somewhat unset tled. Russian wheat was pressed for sale and there was some recovery at Liverpool on the bad weather on the continent. Intlcr selling by' local trades, prices eased off later. Corn was %c to %c lower on good weather and increased offerings in the pit, coupled with receipts of nearly 900 cars here. 'ials were %c tn %c higher, ahd this too in the face of receipts of nearly 1,000 cars. Provisions were stronger with hogs Wheat closed stronger in tone with prices % to %c higher The price trend was considered a natural reaction, follow - ing a three days' break in values. Scarc ity of cars to move grain, coupled with unfavorable weather throughout the belt, helped. Corn finished strong with prices rang ing from % to I%e better. The most, strength was shown in September, in which options shorts covered freely. Oats w'ere % to %c better at the close. The market trailed (he other grains. Provisions were sharply lower, pork being 17% to 20c: lard 5 to 12%c, and ribs. 7% tn 17%c off. Liquidation by longs and lack of buying power were the influences. ST. LOUIS CASH QUOTATIONS.
