T f 1 ‘ TTTF. ATLANTA GEORGIAN .AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY. APRTT. 23, 1013. Big Interests Reduce Long Lines, but Short Covering Prevents Bad Break. NEW YORK, April 23.— Influenced by easier rubles and continued favorable tv either, the cotton market opened to day with price® at a decline of 1 to 7 points from last night's close. Imme fllately after the opening, a wave of short covering on new crop positions gave the market a steady tone. This reused some of the Wall Street opera lore 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 few 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 ring, 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 good reaction, but sentiment is against the market, and the majority of traders are bearish, mainly on account of the technical po nitlori It Is said that there is still ct large long Interest In May and July and unless a great portion of this Is liquidated soon the market will work considerable lower. During 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 marker hard to rally. Wall Street and the uptown crowd continued to sell on rains in Texas and weak ness of May. which in 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. V 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.

Liverpool came In weak, showing futures at the opening of our market as much as 6% points lower. Spots 7 points lower. New York opened low on old crops, but our market was little affected, first trades being at four points decline, which was quickly recovered. Curtain 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 hull 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 checked selling pressure, and provided the main support today. No Spring Medicine Needed Robinson Thermal Baths Clear The Slood and Prepare Sys tem for Hot Weather. NEW YORK. April 23. J. M Ander son says: “There was heavy buying on opening, 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 4o sell and did so on the rally The map showed Oklahoma and Texas received some rains which were needed. Tills, of course, was a bearish feature The map shows that temper atures will fall considerably. This caused some buying “If Is believed there Is still a scattered long interest in the May option which Is gradually coming out, causing the weak ness in that option. .

Last night May closed 3 points under Inly and at the opening this morning. July was I 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.

Elsewhere in the j belt, however, conditions as a rule have been favorable and most of the talent seems convinced that the crop is malting normal progress. “The position of the market now merits the closest attention. It is as serted by trustworthy men that the trade has planned to take up cotton I on May contracts at both New Orleans and New York. In the New Orleans! territory, the remnant stocks contain I many hollies, which will not pass muster as tenderable cotton.

The general rains over Kansas were the weakening fac tors and these rains were largely in the neighborhood where they were most needed In order to break up the drought. A Liverpool concern reported Argen tine shipments likely to be quite small this w'eek compared with previous weeks. Foreign markets were unsettled, but the feeling abroad was not as strong as it has been. Northwestern receipts were larger than a year ago, while Win nipeg movement was smalL Corn was %@%c lower on increased offerings. Oats were easier in sympathy with the other grains. Hog products declined in prices on the losses of 5© 10c in hogs at the yards. The bulls 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 seen hovering around the pit, but they moved cautiously in putting out short lines, feeling that the bulls would twist the market a few times and that their only escape would be to cover at losses. The markets abroad were firm and there was a great dekl of steam taken on v the Chicago traders because of this fact. There was a larger trade in wheat with a good sprinkling of outside busi ness. Duluth reported 250,000 bushels wheat as taken by exporters to-day and the reported sales of 650,000 bush els yesterday were confirmed to-day. Cash transactions were 35,000 bushels wheat* 150.000 bushels corn and 130,000 bushel oats. Corn was unchanged to %@%e off, and oats were %@%c better. Hog products were 5 to 17%c off. W. B.

By B. C. FOFIBES. I happened to walk into a finan cier’s office as he finished writing a check—in the thousands—for a charitable purpose. “You get a great many calls for contributions, I believe." I remarked. “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 walls 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 yo'ur wife also contributes to many charities, I understand." “Yes.

Mrs. Watson is the ttffe of an old employee of the Dysart Construction Company, and Is 55 years ot age. She told the following 1 suffered with severe stomach and bowel trouble for several years T would bloat and belch after eating ami rn\ food would lie like lead in i my stomach. Gas would form and caused palpitation of the heart, dizxl- ! ness, etc I was in misery, arid could eat only the lightest foods, i had sev eral attacks cf acute indigestion a few months ago. and was weak, pale and bin. Doctors and patent medicines were all alike in their inability to re lieve me. and T was getting disgusted, but my attention was called to the Quaker Herb Extract. 1 began using and after seven bottles am now • well, hale and hearty.
