TT1E ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEW8.WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1013.
Big Interests Reduce Long Lines,
but Short Covering Prevents
Bad Break.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-'-Innufnceri by |
rabies and continued favorable
weather, the cotton market opened to
day with price* at a decline of 1 to 7
point* from last night’s clone. Imme
diately after the opening, a wave of
short covering on new crop positions I
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
few points after the opening, but later
showed strength and followed tfce ad-
\ ance 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 hulls 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
sition. It is said that, thcr*; is still
a large Iqng 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 market hard to rally. Wall
Street and the uptown crowd contlnued
to sell on rains in Texas and weak
ness of May. which Is saRL to be tlie
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 11.60, but
quickly lowered It to 11.48 The bull**
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.

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.
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 ILa' arrangements for a profes-
ste_^T%u1l 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.

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 had start reports. Shreve
port sent such advices Yesterday 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 pos.lion of the market now
merits the closest attention. It 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 must oi
ls 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 rases 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.
Mrs. 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 ahe Is free from both rheumatism
and eczema.
Anyone can now take Robinson Ther
mal baths at home and at h 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 invention

CHICAGO, April 23.—The May future
was firm this morning after the opening
dip* in the wheat market, but the more
deferred months were as much as %c
lower at one time. 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 week 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 hogrf 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 ip 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

I happened to walk into a finan
cier’s office as he finished writing a
check—in the thousands—for
charitable purpose.
“You get a great many calls for j
contributions, I believe,” I remarked, j
“Yes', but l enjoy giving them. I j word of this is for publication/* ^
prefer to spend my money that way ,
to buying pictures with it. I'd sooner!

r/r ' ; q c our rich men. Could the f m
extent of the charities of our p |i"l
crats be revealed, the record woil
srnia the cynics. One of the bn *
known figures in America recent ■
outlined his program for the remain I

“Yes, it is true, tfiat I give alPthat
my income warrants—and perhaps
more.”
“And your wife also contributes to
many charities- I understand.”
“Yes. She feels the same as I do
about these things.”
* * *
This conversation is reproduced
here 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 fsw
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-
scale charities are prompted only by
a love of popular applause rather than
an innate I aye 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 rvew in Amer

yesterday. Even so, the novelty of
them is" already wearing off. They
have not brought thein possessors all
that was anticipated. To own $5,000.-

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK, April 23.—The market
for cotton seed oil was easy under liqui-
uted by the lower lard market.
Bears were more aggressive and it was
suggested that an endeavor was being
made to shake out the traders. Declines
at this time are looked on as natural
and ultimately higher prices are pre
dicted.

today. Copper, spot to June was of
