. 9 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. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES. Futures opened quiet, My Jn Jiy Ag Sp Oc Dc. Jn.

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. No Spring Medicine Robinson Thermal Baths Clear The Blood and Prepare Sys tem for Hot Weather. I 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 & Clark: The weather map show's clqudy in the western and central belt. Fall’ over Alabama and the Atlantic's, with splendid rains in north Texas, west Texas and Oklahoma. It is raining In central and south Texas. No rain in rest of the belt. Prospects are for more rain in Texas, a rain for the central belt, moving to the Eastern States Thursday night, followed by a rather severe cold wave. * * * Liverpool cables. “American middling fair 7.30d; good middling 6.96d; middling 6.76d; low middling 6.60d; good ordi nary 6.26d; ordinary 5.92d.“ * * * Fort Worth, Texas, wires: “Raining hard since 3 a. m.

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.” Following are 10 a. m. bids: May, 12.24; July, 12.08; October, 11.31; Janu ary, 11.34.

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.

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,” Coming of The Sunbeam How to Avoid Those Pains and Dis tress Which so Many Mothers Have Suffered. ^ H^Vx\ It is it I,. men vvoiitti. uo not know at Mother's Frieml.

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.
