Also, there is on hand a large quantity of iron and brabhatn 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 mologlst Lewis since he took charge of 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 $5,000, 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 the case, announced that his decision would be rendered within a few days. Meanwhile, Wren is out on bail, legal this time. Tn event of the refusal of a new trial, Wren's attorneys will appeal his case to the supreme court. BUTTER, POULTRY AND EGGS. NEW YORK.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEM ORLEANS. Dee. 31. Liverpool Held steady on futures, but quoted spots 6 points lower: sales 10,000 bales. Land ings at Liverpool today 101.000 bales American and stock of American cotton now more than a half million more than last year. This is likely to change radl- ■ eally in the next two months. The In ducetn -nts for importation during the past three months were totally different this year from last year. Last year we ha<l declining markets, enormous crop esti mates and a general belief in lower values, , which delayed the acquisition of stock, . 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 buy ing and large exports iast year did not set in until about this i time, and the export movement assumed very large proportions by Jaiiuarv and February. Statistical comparisons. . 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 stopped nearly all the January notices I yesterday and absorbed most of the contract selling, both straight and on straddles. A party from Atlanta told ' of considerable cotton being held spec ulatively in the 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 v.as no special pressure and con fidence prevailed that the leading bull in terests will take care of it until busi ness activity tevives in the new year. On the whole, the markets passed through the holidays with comparatively little , damage, considering that the price level I was nearly 4e higher than at the same time last year, and there is an idea that a January squeeze in New Y'ork will lie worked to set the bull movement after the holiday. Market held very steady around the opening prices during the inoiring session. Folio.ving are 10 a. m. bids: January ' 12.77. March 12.79, May 12.83, July 12.90. , October 11.74.

Atchison was unchanged, Canad ian Pacific was unchanged on the first sale, but later dropped *4- The upturn was attributed to covering and to the easier condition in the money market. The curb was steady. Support was ap parent in Americans in London with Steel leading the purchases. in the late forenoon priee movements were irregular. Some stocks showed strength while others reflected profit-tak ing sales. American Smelting, Utah Cop per and American Tobacco were In brisk demand, moving up \ each, while slight fractional gains were noted in California Petroleum, Union Pacific, Reading. Union Pacific and American Beet Sugar. Gen eral Electric was under pressure, declin ing Ite to I*i. Other declines were con fined to small fractions. Around noon prices became steady. Trading for the most part during the last hour was of holiday character. Buy ing orders suddenly appeared and some issues made good gains. Amalgamated copper became one of the most promi nent features of the list, advancing about a point to 78%. The leading railroads showed increased strength.
