ATLANTA MULE AND HORSE MARKET (Corrected by the National Stock Yard* Commission Company; C G. Tur ner, President.) 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. 14 to 14*4 hands, rough, good ages, $115 to $130. $180 t0 12 ^’ with quality, $165 to 14% to 15 hands, rough, $130 to $170. 15 to 15% hands, finish. $180 to $205. 16 hands, with quality and finish, $205 to $230. 16 hands, heavy chunk, weighing form 1,250 to 1,400 pounds. $255 to $330.

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: Choice to good steers. 1.00 to 1,200, $6.000.6.50; good steers, 800 to 1.000, 5.50 0 6.00; medium to good steers, 700 to 850, 5.250 5.75; medium to good cows, 700 to 800. 4.5005.00; good to choice beef cows, S00 to 900. 5.0005.50; medium to good heifers, 6.500 7.50; good to choice heif ers. 750 to 850. 5.000 5.50: medium to good heifers, 650 to 760, 4.250-4.75.

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." * * * Dallas wires; "Texas and Oklahoma, dear, cool and pleasant." • • • Liverpool cables: "American middling fair 7.38d, good middling 7.04d. middling 6.84d, low middling 6.68d, good ordinary 6.64d, ordinary 6d." • * * • Rothschild. Sehill, Hubbard, Rosen berg and Sliants were leading at the opening, after the call Mitchell. Schley. Orvls, Waters. Sheerson, Newman. Starr and Wiggins best sellers. Wall Street though to be h seller. Wiggins 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.

Peachtree at Walton 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." INTERIOR MOVEMENT. 1913. 1913.

April 19. -Trading vu» 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.

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. RANGE NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.
