COTTON FAW TO GET FREE SEED State Board Has Several Re sistant Varieties to Distrib ute Among Planters. , The Georgie state board of entomol ogy has on hand for free distribution among state farmers several varieties of cotton seed, perfected from select strains to resist wilt and black root. The new varieties are expected to in crease the yield of the cotton crop. By applying to the state board or to Assistant Entomologist A. C. Lewis, of , Atlanta, farmers may obtain seed for ; planting free, except for freight or ex ■ press charges. * A large amount of seed of the Mo della and Dixie resistant strains is available. Also, there is on hand a large quantity of iron and brabham cowpeas for free distribution. These are resistant to the nematode worm. In another year the department will distribute seed of the early maturing , resistant strain, which is the most im , portant perfected by Assistant Ento- I mologlst Lewis since he took charge of J the work on cotton diseases in 1905. GEORGE WREN BACK OF OWN ACCORD TO ASK FOR NEW TRIAL George Wren, convicted of complicity in the $50,000 diamond trunk robbery ’ and under bond, whose validity was in doubt, returned voluntarily to Atlanta today from Birmingham, appearing be fore Judge Price Edwards, of the supe rior court, to present his plea for a new trial. Following his conviction. Wren was released under a supersedeas bond of So.OOO, which, it developed, was not au thorized by Judge Edwards. When he went to Birmingham, doubt as to his voluntary return was expressed, which, however, was dissipated at his return this morning. Judge Edwards, hearing evidence in tlie case, announced that his decision would be rendered within a few days. Meanwhile, Wren is out on bail, legal this time. In event of the refusal of a new trial, Wren's attorneys will appeal his case to the supreme court. BUTTER. POULTRY AND EGGS.

YORK. Dec. 31. Erratic cables resulted in the cottun market here open ing barely steady, with near positions 1 to points higher and distant months 4 JV 6 Points lower than last nfght's close. I Hiding at the outset was very light. Ihe principal buyers were leading spot interests, while the selling came chiefly from commission houses and the ring crowd. Mitchell bought January freely, i causing some buying in distant months. 4 c . n<i minutes, prices had recidod l to 8 points from the opening. After the call the market was steady , at the decline, with prices a few points i over the earl\ decline. The markets seems to be strictly of a ; holiday character, with the public gener ally waiting the next ginra'is* report. Suine of the most conservative traders are inclined to think the market will go some lower, as the spots are usually quiet dur ing the first part of January. Ihe market during the late forenoon was of a dull character, with a narrow range in prices. The ring crowd turned buyers after the call, covering some of their short lines over the holiday tomor row. I’hls buying, coupled with contin ued aggressiveness of the spot people and unfavorable reports of the Balkan situa tion. were stimulating factors, resulting in a general wave ( f short covering by a number of outsiders, prices regained the larger portion of the early decline and during the afternoon session the bull L ad ers rendered their support, sustaining iheS present value < f cotton. It was said that the bull interests were supporting the market until business became active in tho new year. At the close the market was steady, with prices practically tuochanged from Mondays dose, Wbing unchanged to 1 point up to 1 point lower. Following are 11 a. m. bids: January 12.»0.

This is; likely to change radi cally in the next two months rhe In ducements Cor Importation during tlie past three months were totally different this year from last year. Last year we had declining markets, enormous crop esti mates and a general belief in lower values, which delayed the acquisition of slock whereas, this year belief in a small crop fear of competition for the raw mate rial and rapidly advancing markets have stimulated an early provision of stock. The general buying and large exports last year did not sol in until about this lime, ami the export movement assumed very large proportions by January and February Statistical compai isons. therefore, are to be less flattering during the next two months. Heavy exports and large weekly landings in consequence pro vided for the heaviest mill takings on rec ord during February and March New York gossip says McFadden slopped nearly all the January notices yesterday and absorbed most of the contract selling, both straight and on straddles. \ party from Atlanta told of considerable cotton being held spec ulatively in tlie smaller Georgia towns Our market opened 6 to 8 points down and looked flat and tired. This is not unusual during these holiday times, hut there was no special pressure and con fidence prevailed that the leading bull in terests will take care of it until busi ness activity icvives In the new year. On ; the whole, the markets passed through | the holidays with comparatively little i damage, considering that the price- level . was nearly higher than at the saint time last year, and there Is an idea that a 1 January squeeze in New York will I■< worked to set the bhll movement after the holiday Market held very steady around the opening prices during the morning session.
