Mules.
Mules and horses in the last week
have declined from $5 to $10 per
head, but for the past few days there
has been a good demand for them.
The railroads have begun to receive
shipments, so there will be no scare!-
v of stock on account of the high
water.
It looks as if prices will remain the
same for awhile.
Draft horses and large road mules
arp in active demand, and we believe
this will be so for some time to
come.

ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.
(By W. H. White, Jr., of the White Pro.
visior. Company.)
The cattle market has ruled steady
again this week, with a fairly good sup
ply of medium fed cattle. Only a few
straight loads of strictly good cattle
were received, although there was quite
a bunch of good fleshy cattle above
the average mixed in with the week's
receipts.
A. ,1. Evans, of Fort Volley, was on
the market again this week with two
loads of fed Georgia and Alabama steers
from his feed lots. This makes seven
loads Mr Evans has shipped and sold
to the Atlanta packers within the past
few weeks. He is an enthusiastic live
stock man and a splendid feeder.
Messrs. Taylor & Freeman, of Oak-
tnan, Ga.. were also in with a mixed car
of good cattle and corn-fed hogs. Both
cattle and hogs found a ready sale at
good prices. The hogs were light, but
extra good and brought 9 cents.
Hog receipts have been light and the
demand is good. Market strong and
active.
Quotations based on actual purchases
during the current week:

$6.000.6.50; good steers, 800 to 1.000, 5.50

COTTON GOSSIP
NEW YORK. April 19. S. 'late, of N
E. Carpenter & Co., says;
"The decline yesterday is easily ac
counted for when we review spinners’
takings. The Continent is credited with
taking about 66,000 bales, against 133.-
000 bales last year. This practically
makes up the shortage in the takings of
American cotton for the week, which is
placed at 211,000 bales, against 272,000
l>ales last year.
"Our advices indicate that spots in
the South are not responding to any
decline in the New York future market,
which Is regarded us the cheapest cot
ton market in the world. Sentiment
here Is predominatingly bearish, and
support to the market is lacking so that
temporarily further limited decline*
may be anticipated."

opening, after the call Mitchell. Schley.

Starr and Wiggins best sellers. Wall

probably best seller on call. Sehill was
leading buyer. Ring good sellers.
A wave of selling by the ring led
bv Mitchell. Schley. Ralt, Me Elroy and
Cl ear man started the decline to-day. The.
buying was attributed mostly to com-
mlslon houses and local shorts. There
was no special support to the market.
It Is generally believed that the mar
ket will work lower. The weakness In
Liverpool caused a nervous feeling
among the bull element and it was no
ticeable that their operations were lim
ited.
Mitchell was a good buyer of July at
11.65. Later he sold July.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
New Orleans—1,800 to 2,400; last year,
3,325.
Galveston—4,806 to 5.800; last year
4,916.

NEW ORLEANS, Aprif l(h—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map, very fa
vorable, shows partly cloudy In the
Western States, fair in Central and
Eastern States; no rain, except a lit lie
in far West Texas. Indications are for
increasing cloudiness generally, with
good prospects for more rain in West
and South Texas, continued fair in the
Southeastern quarter of the belt.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says:
"With the Japanese howling for war.
The Valor of Ignorance/ by Homer
ijea. becomes timely reading There
are lessons to be learned therefrom, not
only by the good people of California,
but by the cotton trade as well, since
neither seems to know just what is go
ing to happen. Cotton market bears un
doubtedly fear tHe underlying strength
of the May and July positions. Never
theless. those positions were sold down,
maybe not wisely, maybe too well, yes
terday.
"Fair weather over the belt, a six
teenth decline in some spot markets, a
more favorable crop report from San
Antonio and Japanese war talk, in the
minds of active operators, seemed to
outweigh all the unfavorable crop re
ports that recently have come from cer
tain sections of Texas, peace in the
Balkans, and the promise made by cer
tain Interests that the May position will
be well taken care of.
"At New York there was heavy sell
ing of the new crop and there was some
evidence showing that the big longs in
May arid July were shaking out .the
weaker brother."

active at the opening of the cotton njar-
ke» to-day with the list under general
selling pressure, which caused first
prices to decline 1 to 6 points from last
night's closing quotations.
Immediately after the opening liquida
tion on stop loss orders, both from local
commission houses and foreign sources,
was heavy. After the call the Hex broke
further, through aggressive selling by
brokers, who usually represent the
larger spot interests; also on liberal of
ferings front the ring speculators, May
and July selling as low as 11.64. October
and December both touched 11.27. the
lowest level In the above options since
early last winter. Sent Intent was bear
ish.
Weather developments over night
were fuvorable. with indications point
ing to fair weather over Sunday, with
the exception of increasing cloudiness
in the western portion of the belt, wheie
rains are needed.
Unexpected weakness in Liverpool
helped the decline along. Cables w ; ere
below' expectations and spots there
showed a few points decline.
After the first hour of trading com
mission houses and shorts were good
buyers, but offerings continued in large
volume, which prevented any reaction.
Later some of the spot houses bought,
but their absorption was of limited char
acter and the prices were held at the
early low level. The market closed
steady, with near positions 11 to 12
points lower than the final quotations
of Friday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, LA.. April 19.—The
talk of peace current of late in the Lon
don press was either a pious wish of in
tended to pacify the trade In either
case it was entirely premature and un
justified.. Direct news from the Balkans
show's the situation worse than ever.
Bulgaria concluded an armistice with
Turkey only to have a free hand to fight
the allies. Bulgarian forces are report
ed to be marching on Monastlr, held by
Servia. and defeated a Servian trans
port. Lively developments are In sight.
The downfall of the Huerta govern
ment In Mexico Is predicted as a near
certainty. Where is the advertised
peace? Anticipation of a revival of
trade under such -conditions appears
premature.
Liverpool declined fully as much as
due and quotes spots 7 points lower.
New York lost about 10 points in the
early trading anti reported a further
liquidation of new crop long interest, but
he loss here was only a few points.
The greater resistance in our market is
undoubtedly due to the large discount
of futures under spots, making traders
averse to selling.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Atwood, Violett & Co.: We suggest
caution in following the short side to**
far
Miller & Co.: Bearish sentiment is
supreme and weather conditions favor
able.
Bailey & Montgomery: We think the
new crop months will decline on con
tinued favorable weather.
Norclen & Co.; It seems that for the
present chances are rather in favor of
the bull side, w-ith the possibility that
some wave of unfavorable crop news
may give the market quite a twist.
Thompson. Towle & Co.: We look to
see the old and new crops come closer
together.
Logan & Bryan: We look for lower
prices.
