WHOLESOME BREAD.
SWEET AND PURE.
A myriad of colors, shapes and .sizes
of bread, cake and pies reflected in the
walled mirrors of the new bread, cake
and pie store of the D. Zakas Bakery at
30 Peachtree street —Five Points—
meets the eye of the customer who en
ters the door.
Best of all is the fact that the bread
Is wholesome and delicious, as are the
pies and cakes for sale. Philip Thomp
son, the Boston expert, has proved his
ability as a baker, and those who have
put him to the test by making one pur
chase are now regular customers. All
bread left from Saturday sold at hall
price Monday. (Advt.)

COTTON GOES UP |
GN HEAVY BUYING
Larger Interests Consistently
Support Market Entire Day.
Sentiment Bullish.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—A sudden ag
gressive movemerit prevailed upon the
cotton market today at the opening The
tone was steady, with first prices a net
gain of 10 to 15 points from Saturday’s
final. The strong Liverpool cables were
said to have been the strengthening fea
ture of our market. After the call the
market was under heavy buying pres
sure with the selling small and scattered.
The absorption came chiefly from spot
interests and shorts. Prices rallied 7 to
12 points over the opening figures.
Memphis, New Orleans and commission
houses said to have been ’ good sellers
early, but had very little effect upon the
market. Larger spot interests strongly
backed the market and their heavy buy
ing was said to have been based upon the
many’ unfavorable reports from the belt.
Sentiment is more bullish today than
for many' days and the actual buyers are
advising their friends to buy cotton. The
general opinion is no decline of conse
quence is expected at the moment. The
market is expected to be a scalping af
fair until after the bureau report Thurs
day on ginned bales up to November 14.
During the afternoon session the bulls
had complete control of the market.
Every one wanted to buy cotton and
prices immediately rallied, above the best
of the day. aggregating 18 to 33 points
over the previous close.
At the close the market was very steady
with prices showing a net gain of 22 to
31 points from the final quotations of Sat
urday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Nov.' 18.—Liverpool
opened with futures 4 points lower than
due. but developed decided strength dur
ing the session’, showing futures 13 Eng
lish points up the opening of our mar
ket. Spots 3 points higher. A cable said:
“Less offerings, no bull liquidation;
stronger undertone."
The weather was good over Sunday;
precipitation' only in central and south
Texas. Indications are for continued fair
and warmer weather, and the Washington
forecast for the week is for fair and
warmer.
The trade now is principally engaged in
arguing the coming census report which
will be published on- Thursday and give
ginnings to November 14. Owing to good
picking weather, there Is a tendency to
look for full ginnings during the period
of October 31 to November 14.
A reliable party in Georgia says: "Ow
ing to excellent weather this year, gin
nings may appear large as compared with
last year, but there will be a great fall
ing off in the ginning returns thereafter
and I am frank to say, 1 believe the small
ness of the Georgia crop will surprise the
bulls.”
A Texas traveler says: “Very little
cotton left to gather and 1 believe at the
end of this week not 2 per cent will re
main unpicked. Farmers holding very
extensively and are indifferent sellers."
Our market gained 20 points at the
start and held very firm at the advance.
The decided change’in Liverpool strength
ened confidence and was the main cause
of firmness. The opinion prevails that the
reaction to Il%c has brought the mar
ket so a. safe basis for the next period of
activity in spot's and a bullish change In
statistics.

NEW YORK. Nov. 18. —N. L. Carpen
ter & Co.: “I am not advising anything
on the rparket. I want to be conservative,
but I feel very bullish, and would buy cot
ton every time the market declines, be
lieving in ultimately higher prices. Think
the crop in eastern belt very much over
estimated. Think consumption will take
all the cotton that America can pick and
gin this year, but after big advances re
ductions are natural."
Commission houses were about the only
sellers at tfie opening of the market to
day, but this had no feffect.
Liverpool has been tramping on our

litical News.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18. — A gain of 2%
in Amalgamated Copper in the first few I
minutes of trading was the feature of the ;
stock market opening today. The tone 1
was hesitant over the Balkan situation ■
and the possibility of trust decisions in i
the United States supreme court and ear
ly" gains were offset later by material
losses.
Among the declines were Union Pacific
%, Canadian Pacific %, Reading %.
American Smelting %. Anaconda %.
United States Steel common opened at
74%, or % under Saturday's figures, then
recovered %. Erie preferred was % high
er. Atchison, Pennsylvania and Utah

Canadian Pacific in London was steady,
but Grand Trunk was heavy.
The tone in the late forenoon was
heavy and a number of stocks declined a
fraction under moderate selling pressure.

ing movement in copper, which fluctuated
and a number of specialties were under
pressure. American Woolen preferred was
exceedingly weak, declining 2% to 79%.
Both Steel anti American Can yielded
more than a point each.
The rally which followed sharp reces
sions at noon was not of long duration,
although a number of stocks showed pro
nounced strength in the last hours of the
session. American Locomotive was par
ticularly strong, gaining 1 point. Read
ing was _one of the weakest, selling
around 171%, a loss of more than 1 point
from its earlier range.
