THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY. APRIL 2:'.. 191:'!.
Big Interests Reduce Long Lines,
but Short Covering Prevents
Bad Break.
NEW YORK. April 23.—Influenced by
easier cables and •continued favorable
weather, the cotton market opened to
day with prices at a decline of 1 to 7
points from last night's close. Imme
diately after the opening, a wave of
short covering on new crop positions
gave the market «a steady tone. This
caused some of the Wall Street opera
tors to buy July in Quantity. July
quickly rallied 10 points from the open
ing, while other positions advanced 4 to
7 points. The May option receded a
lew points after the opening, but later
showed strength and followed the ad
vance moderately.
After the call the buying was less in
evidence and Liverpool, together with
the Ying. which is said to hold large
short lines, turned aggressive sellers.
Rains in Texas and Oklahoma were
given as a reason for selling.
The bulls played for a gooo reaction,
but sentiment is against the market and
the majority of traders are bearish,
mainly on account of the technical po
sition. It is said that there is still
a large long interest in May and July
and unless a great portion of this is
liquidated soon the market will work
considerable lower.
THiring the late forenoon the market
was inactive. Prices were steady at a
shade below the initial level.
During the afternoon session there
was some scattered buying by the ring
and a few shorts who covered early were
talking reaction, but offerings were plen
tiful and the market hard to rally. Wall
Street and the uptown crown continued
to sell on rains in Texas and weak
ness of May, which is said to be the
chief cause for the selling.
It is estimated that fully 100,000 short
cotton has been covered to-day, which
Is encouraging to the bears. A certain
broker with spot house connection of
fered 10,000 bales of July at 11.50, but
quickly lowered it to 11.48. The bulls
were disgusted and side-stepped. At
the close the market was steady with
prices at a net decline of 3 to 14 points
from the final quotations of Tuesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, April 23.—Liverpool
c-ame in weak, showing futures at the
opening of our market as much as 6%
points lower. Spots 7 points low'er.
New' York opened low on old crops,
hut our market was little affected, first
traces being at four points decline,
which was quickly recovered.
Certain information from New York
says that the present acute weakness in
old crops is merely to free the market
of outside interests before notice day
and that arrangements for a profes
sional bull move in May are intact. All
selling of May in this market is readily
absorbed, which points to similar pro
fessional intentions in this position as
in New York.
Prospects for a severe cold wave
becked selling pressure and provided
the main support today.

NEW YORK, April 23. I M. Ander
son says: “There was heavy buying on
opetiing, said to come from large spot
interests and from short covering by a
prominent Wall Street operator. One
broker’s purchases amounted to some
30,000 bales. The crowd, however, was
inclined to sell and did so on the rally.
The map showed Oklahoma and Texas
received some rains which were
needed. This, of course, was a bearish
feature. The map shows that temper
atures will fall considerably. This
caused some buying.
“It is believed there is still a scattered
long interest in the May option w hich is .
gradually coming out, causing the weak
ness in that option.
“No special news from spots today.” 1
* * •
Mitchell was u heavy buyer of July, j
said to be for Haruch. Mitchell, Me- )
Fadden and some Wall Street brokers j
were bidding, but found fair lots of cot
ton for sale.
* • •
Riordan, Geer. Wilson and Hartcorn
were among the buyers.
* * *
Dropping a few points under the July
option the May option again has lost
its strength. Last night May closed 3 ■
points under July and at the opening
this morning, July was 1 point higher
than May. Such erratic fluctuation is
puzzling the talent. However, the ma
jority of traders expect to see May at
a good premium over July before notice
day.
* * *
It is said that the Pell interests have
been heavy sellers during the past few
days. This firm was bullish only a
short while ago, but now is said to be
predicting a 1 cent drop in cotton.
* * «
Advices from Mississippi are becom
ing optimistic. It is said that planting
is going on rapidly and some are pre
dicting an acreage larger than last year,
which aggregated more than 3.000,000
acres.

NEW ORLEANS. April 23.—Hayward

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “An official rain forecast for the
West, followed closely by a private tele
gram reporting that rain had fallen
where needed in Texas, reinstated the
bearish cause, and the decline Tuesday
was checked by telegrams from those
sections in Texas which need rain, say
ing no rain had fallen, and by the dis
covery' of a cold wave formation be
hind the moisture formation, all of
which gave pause to the short seller.
In this connection, an influence in check
ing bearish enthusiasm was the con
tinuation of bad start reports. Shreve
port sent such advices yesterdav and
the weather bureau’s weekly bulletin
was not at all favorable in so far as
Texas is concerned. Elsewhere in the
belt, however, conditions as a rule have
been favorable and most of the talent
seems convinced that the crop is making
normal progress.
“The position of the market now'
merits the closest attention. Tt is as
serted by trustworthy men that the
trade has planned to take up cotton
on May contracts at both New Orleans
and New York. In the New Orleans
territory, the remnant stocks contain
many hollies, which will not pass muster
as tenderable cotton. At New York
there are some 11,000 tenderable bales
that will not pass muster as tenderable
cotton at Liverpool.”

Well-known physicians say that the
Robinson Thermal Bath at home is
about to become an almost universal
conqueror of disease. Any man or wo
man can prove its results inside of 24
hours, in some cases 30 minutes.
In cases of rheumatism, especially,
the uric acid poison is extracted from
the system through the pores, almost
as liquids are sucked up through a
straw. Drugs merely smother the poison
or ease the pain. They do not extract
the poison from the body.
Mr*. I. Bailey, 181 Joralemon Street,
Brooklyn, was treated for years by the
best physicians in Brooklyn and New
York for rheumatic gout and eczema
without being benefited. Physicians told
her not to take the baths, as she had
heart trouble, but she was determined to
try the Cabinet, and has taken four
baths a week for the past year, and to
day she is free from both rheumatism
and eczema
Anyone can now take Robinson Ther
mal baths at home and at a cost of
only about 2c a bath. The only way to
take these baths is by the use of the
Robinson Thermal Bath Cabinet, which
is a unique and marvelous ivention.

Health and Beauty,” retail price $2.00,

The hulls were again victorious with
the "cotton crowd" a big buyer in the
wheat market. Nervousness and
strength were the characteristics in the
market. There were many bears to be

only escape would be to cover at losses.

By B. C. FORBES.
I happened to walk into a finan
cier's office as he finished writing a
ch^ck—in tlie thousands—for a
charitable purpose.
"You get a great many calls for
contributions, 1 believe,” I remarked, j
“Yes, but I enjoy giving them. I
prefer to spend my money that way
to buying pictures with it. I'd sooner
do something to help unfortunate or
suffering people than have my walla
covered with very expensive paintings.
I can see pictures in my friends’ homes
and in galleries.
* * *
‘*Yes, it is true that I give all that
my income warrants—and perhaps
more.”
“And your wife also contributes to
many charities, I understand.”
“Yes. She fee% the same as I do
about these things.”
* * •
This conversation is reproduced
her© because it is symptomatic of a
change that is creeping over many
men of great wealth.
* * *
A thirst for the goodwill of their
fellowmen has overtaken quite a few
American multi-millionaires. It used
to be fashionable to affect complete
indifference to the public's praise or
censure. That has been changed.
Cynics, of course, will assert that the
new attitude is born of selfishness
rather than unselfishness, that grand-
soale charities are prompted only by
a love of popular applause rather than
an innate love of fellow humans. Well,
there may be some truth in such a
charge, but my own slight knowledge
of the workings of numbers of our
noted capitalists leads rather to the
belief that their good works are in
spired by higher motives.
• • •
Colossal fortunes are new in Amer
ica. They are of to-day rather than
yesterday. Even so. the novelty of
them is already wearing off. They
have not brought their possessors all
that was anticipated. To own $5,000,-
500 or $50,000,000 is no longer a dis
tinction that makes the public gape.
The uRfa-rich man who does nothing
but spend his days, machine-like, in
money-making, does not occupy a high
pedestal in the public’s estimation.
• * *
How to use enormous fortune* is
one of America’s pressing problems.
More of our very rich men are seek
ing a solution to-day than ever be
fore.
• * *
Pictures have been all the rage dur
ing recent years. But somehow thsi*
possessors are finding that pictures
are less important than human beings,
that pictures can not yield gratitude
or win the people’s prayers, that, in
short, they are cold, comfortless
things in comparison with grateful
hearts and good deeds toward fellow
mortals.
There is very little beating of tom
toms about most of the benevoient
deeds of our rich men. Could the full
extent of the charities of our pluto
crats be revealed, f.be record would
amaze the cynics. One of the best
known figures in America recently
outlined his program for the remain
der of his days, but added: “Not one
werd of this is for publication,”

OF SUCCESS
BY TIME
Why has .the name of the famous
Quaker Health Teacher become a
household word in Atlanta? Perhaps
the best answer may be found in the
stories told by the people who had
called on him to tell their experiences
with Quaker Herb Extract. While he
had shown great Interest in his work
when here, even greater reports have
been made from those using the reme-
) dies for chronic disease* and those,
who have used i». An unusual case
of this character came to light when
Mrs. Matilda Watson, of 120 Curran
street, called. Mrs. Watson is the
wife of an old employee of the I>ysart
| Construction Company, and is 55 years
V
of age She toid the following:
“I suffered with severe rromach and
bowel trouble for several years. I
would bloat and belch after eating
and my food would lie like lead Fn
my stomach. Gas would form and
caused palpitation of the heart, dizzi
ness, etc. 1 was In misery’, and could
eat only the lightest foods. I had sev
eral attacks of acute indigestion a few
months ago. and was weak, pale and
thin. Doctors and patent medicines
were all alike in their inability to re
lieve me, and I was getting disgusted,
but my attention was called to the
Quaker Herb Extract. I began using
it. and after seven bottles am now
well, hale and hearty. I will always
cheerfully recommend the wonderful
Remedies to all who ask what Quaker
did for me.”
Those who suffer from either stom
ach, liver or kidney troubles, catarrh,
rheumatism or worm* should procure
at least a trial three-bottle treatment
of Quaker Herb Extract at once. Don’t
delay if vou want that bounding,
sparkling, radiant, health—the price
less asset of all men, women and
children. Ooursey A Munn's Drug
