I 9 TilF. ATLANTA GEORGIAN’ AM) NEWS. MONDAY. APRIL 21. 1917!. Breaking of Mississippi Levee Causes Short Covering Move ment in Closing Hour. NEW YORK, April 2L. -Liquidation wa* leas in evidence at the opening of ihe cotton market to-day and first prices vVe re 1 point higher to 3 points off from Saturday’s final. May and duly .igain reversed positions and steadied the market This brought out a wave • -*h<*rt covering. Early loss was quick- 1\ retrieved and the list showed a -ready undertone. There was a great deal of July on ,111d at the outset, around 11.60. Con- nued buying around this level gave ,h mv.rket an advancing tendency, re- .ulting in May rallying to 11.66. July ivanned 9 points to 11.69. The remote ptJons were relatively Ann and gained m 7 points from tne opening range. The buying was in the fare of excel- .•nt crop advices and favorable weather ,-■• elopments over Sunday. Rut the .irge spot houses played for a reaction . n the theory that there has been noth- ig but bearish news up to this time and was time to look for something on the contrary. During the forenoon Wall Street was against the tnarket and liquidated heav ily. Liverpool sold and also tire ring rowd. while Memphis was reported a buyer. _ Later May showed weakness, which brought out considerable selling from many prominent sources. This carried the entire list back to the initial level. The May option was under heavy sell ing pressure during the late forenoon and showed further recession of 6 points ■4m the opening. The weakness in May - causing hesitation on the part of those inclined to the bull side and later positions held steady around the open ing prices. Brokers who were closely identified with the spot interests were moderate buyers throughout the day, but senti ment was against the market and prices tailed to bulge from the start. There was nothing to create a scare among shorts. Liverpool is said to have sold fully 1 ,000 bales here to-day. Price movement during the afternoon session was practically unchanged : lie opening, except May, which sus tained the sharp decline. \ telegram received from Greenville, Miss., stating that a levee had broken it Glen Allan, Miss., 25 miles below on .he Mississippi side, checked the selling > a great extent, resulting in May re gaining the early loss. Shorts were active buyers, causing the market to lose very steady wit it prices at a net advance of 4 to 7 points from the clos- ing quotations of Saturday. COTTON. HAYWARD &. CLARK S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, April 21. There were no developments of particular in fluence on the market over .Sunday, Liverpool was weaker than due by 2 points and spots 5 points lower. After opening u few points lower, the market rallied promptly to 12.11 for July ami to 11.37 for October and was remarkably well supported, probably in consequence of New York news that the bullish spot interests were absorbing all offerings of July, suggesting the idea that strong people are buying af this level. Spots are not encouraging. Demand is small and spot quotations at leading interior markets on Saturday afternoon showed easiness. RANGE NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

FLORIDA CITRUS GROWERS JOIN TO FIGHT TARIFF TAMPA, FLA., April 21—Growers and shippers of citrus fruit have formed the Florida Citrus League to fight the pro posed reduction in $he tariff on lemons and oranges from 1 % to % cent a pound.

I The estimated production of Florida citrus fruit® this year is between 4,- ! 500,000 an-: ti.OOO.OOu boxes. It Is stated 1 that California’s production amounted to 12,000.000 boxes, of which 30 per cent ! were rendered unmarketable because of j the January freeze. The proposed re- I duction in tariff, declared W. O. Tem ple. manager if the Florida Citrus Ex change, will allow keen competition | from Sicily and Murcia and other ! Mediterranean points. Mr. Temple in a wire to the Ways and Means Committee in Washington states that the proposed reduction will, if put through, prove the destruction of the orange industry in this country.
