71 PER CENT OF COTTON PICKED r 1 Crop Shows 1.5 Per Cent Dete f rioration in the Month From Sept. 24 to Oct. 24. NEW YoRK. Nov. I.—Reports from 1.750 special correspondents of The Jour nal of Commerce, bearing an average date of October 24, show a deterioration of 1.5 per cent in the cotton cron since the September 24 reports, when the average condition was 70.3. A year ago condi tions lost 15 points. Deterioration took place in eight of tw’elve states. North Carolina gained 7, Texas gained 2, Mls * sour! 5 and Oklahoma 3 points. Cotton picked up to October 24 was 71 per cent, compared with 76 a year ago and «0 the year before. With the exception of Georgia and Alabama, weather condi tions have been favorable and the quality of the staple' generally good. Cotton is marketed as fast as ginned, only a small proportion being held for higher prices. Prospects for the top crop are poor, but a late frost will aid the yield in many lo calities. Frost so far has done very’ little dam age. but rain in Georgia and Alabama in jured the quality of the fiber. A number of correspondents have estimated the yield for the belt at from 13,500,000 to 14,500.- 000 bales. i The following table shows the reports by states of the condition, amount, im provement, amount lost and percentage picked: 0ct.24, Sen. 24.

I.—Mrs. Emma Bamberger and Albert J. Patterson were found guilty of murder in the first degree today for the death of Mrs. Bamberger’s son, James Bamberger, on July 6 last, when Patterson stabbed the young man to death in the presence of the woman. The extreme penalty is death on the gallows. >* The verdfet, reached after an all night session, was a surprise, as the state asked only for a second-degree verdict in the case of the woman. The defense made motions for a new trial and Judge Elliott suspended sentences. The murder was the result of the ob jections of the son to attentions Pat terson paid to his mother. It was testi fied that the father was asleep at the time and that when Patterson called to see the woman the boy had ordered him from the house. It was then that he was stabbed to death in the pres ence of the mother, who, it was testi fied, urged the slayer on. M’KEE COMPLAINS I OF ATLANTA MAIL SERVICE ON S. R. R. \ There is a new complainant against delayed mall in Atlanta. He is Post master Hugh L. McKee. He does not find fault with the postoffice, but with the railway service. He is a subscriber to a Washington paper, and for quite awhile he failed to get his paper on time. ’l'he Southern, due from New York and Washington at 5:25 a. m.. he says, has been late recently, and this cause the trouble. Not only that, de clares the postmaster, but all the mail on that train has been delayed to such an extent that the public generally gets its mail later, because the train puts it behind time at the postoffice. SB There is talk of a new train, how ever, which will get in earlier than 5:25. MRS. T. B. FELDER, SR., BURIED. k DUBLIN, GA.. Nov. I.—-The funeral B of Mrs. T. B.

NEWS AND GOSSIP j Os the Fleecy Staple —c NEW YORK. Nov. I.—Carpenter, Bag- ' got & Co.: Miss Giles, the South’s expert I cotton crop estimator and statistician. ; makes the condition of the undeveloped portion of the cotton crop at 63.9 against 69.7. On October 1, 1912. she says favor able weather conditions in October have caused an increase in prospective yield. Through the medium of better top crop outlook there can be no doubt. However, this does not at present indicate a crop of more than 13.600.000. Following shows the report by states: IN’v. l.lOct. 1, STATES-, 1912 1912 Virginia | 65 71 North Carolina 65 70 South Carolina 63 68 Georgia 61 65 Florida 61 66 Alabama ! 60 67 Mississippi 61 67 Louisiana ( 62 70 Texas ' 65 75 Oklahoma ’ 75 73 Missouri .. j 68 73 Total average 03.9 69.7 Cone was a good buyer of January this morning, which was said to be for the McFadden interests. Considerable buying this morning was based on the eastern forecast. Ware house stocks in New York today, 77,451; certificated, 67,390. Liverpool cables: ' Market feels the in fluence of manipulation, early frost re ports, don't think prices will go much higher for the present.” The market was very steady through out the morning session. Very little cot ton was for sale Traders that hold long lines are inclined to maintain them over Sunday as to what weather developments will be will have to be seen. The Journal of Commerce was bullish in their cotton report. Also Miss Giles was of a bullish character. Dallas wires: "Texas materially <\ar and cold; no frost reported Dallas 40, Amarilld 28. Oklahoma clear and cold, 34 to 38. Messrs. Browne, Drakeford & Co.. Liv erpool: “Heavy trade calling; general short covering." Following are It a. m. bids: December 11.37. January 11.43, March 11.59, May 11.62. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1. -Hayward & Clark: Weather map decidedly better than expected: only light frost at Fort Worth, 38 degrees and Oklahoma 34 de grees; killing frost, but temperature not as low as on September 28, when they said no damage was done; fair now in eastern states: cloudy elsewhere; general showers central and eastern belt, but not as much rainfall as looked for. Indica tions are for clearing and cooler in cen tral belt; cloudy with showers in Atlan tics. Fair western states, warming up northwest Texas and western Oklahoma. Cooler south Texas, but no frost indicated. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says'. A freezing forecast for Oklahoma and other parts of the west lifted cotton con tracts some 34 points yesterday, about half of which was lost later on as a re sult of profit-taking. Bulls, encouraged bv success, are now convinced that much higher prices on the way and since the advance had drawn all of the easily led talent to the bullish standard only a few traders were impressed by the fact that the contract market offers spot owners a most excellent hedge, or by the fact that call money at New York closed at 9 per cent vesterday. The status of the spot markets is not easy to determine. Some merchants say the demand for the actual has been ravenous, that a big business with Europe is pending; that spinners are constantly nibbling, bn the other hand I manv exporters say they hold a lot of cotton which they have been unable to sell and that the future market now of fers the owner of the actual by far the best outlet.

I.—Strong cables and a very bullish report from private sources caused the cotton market to open strong with first prices a net gain of 16 to 20 points from last night’s close. A scattered short covering wave developed at the outset and the majority of the crowd were afraid to sell their cotton over Sunday on account of the weather However, the weather over night came beter than expected with only light frost over a portion of the belt, save in Okla homa, where killing frost prevailed with temperature at 34 degrees, but no damage of any consequence has been reported. After the cal the market was very steady with th large spot houses absorbing all the contracts available. Very little cot ton was for sale and prices held steady, sagging about the initial quotations. The. chief influences for the aggressive movement during the early trading was due to the bullish crop report of Miss Giles. Later during the forenoon trading became light, as there was very little cotton for sale, and those who held long lines seemed afraid to liquidate and were inclined to hold their cotton, not knowing what the weather developments would be over the double holiday. However, at times some scattered longs took profit, but their sales were limited. The larger spot houses were aggressive throughout the day. The market seemed to be an evening up affair for the holidays, and during the late session prices ranged 3 to 4 points below the opening. The prediction for cold weather with frost over the belt had a stimulating effect upon the market. At the close the market was firm, with prices a net gain of 12 to 18 points from the final quotations of Thursday.

I.—Wheat was Vi® lower early today on the decline in cables at Liverpool and the lack of buying power in the pit. The fact that weather had failed to do any damage In Argentina was also a bearish factor. There was heavy selling at Liverpool which over balanced the bullish influence. Australia reported the wheat crop there i as suffering from drought. Argentine shipments were 928,000 bush- I els, which was 328.000 bushels in exces." of the estimate, sent out. yesterday ami • the shipments again broke the rec ord at 7,761,000. Northwestern receipts were liberal ami those at Winnipeg alsc exceeded a year ago. Corn was : H ® l 2 e higher and rather ) slow. The unsettled weather is likely t< drive some of the scattered small shorts “ to cover. oats acted in sympathy with the other grains and ruled a shade lower early. Provisions were a little stronger with I the advance of 5 to 10 cents in lhe price of hogs at the yards. Wheat closed lower today, final prices being about “low” for lhe day and show ing declines of IQ to %c on December and 1» M on the distant months. Weak ' cables and a poor cash demand were the main weakening factors. The selling was of a general character. Demand was fair at times, but was not sufficient in volume to cause more than small temporary reac- • tions. Corn closed to IQc lower. The mar ket was weak ami heavy all day and new low levels for the crop year for all fu- • tures were recorded. Cash demand was very small and the selling pressure was increasing. < >ats finished to lower. Sympathy with the other grains was a strong fac tor. There were considerable export am. ’ domestic cash sales on the slump 1 Provisions were lower all around. Pork was off 22’oc: lard ranged to 120 ; lower, while ribs lost 10 to 17VaC.
