THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. I t-c ms vt * COTTON Big Interests Reduce Long Lines, but Short Covering Prevents Bad Break. NEW YORK, April 23.—Influence! by seller 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 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 aaalnst the market and the majority of traders are bearish, mainly on account of the technical po sition. It is said that there 1h still n 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 lew shorts who covered early were talking reaction, but offerings were plen tiful and the market hard to rally. Wall Street and the uptown crowd 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 11.60, 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.

HAYWARD d. CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, April 23. 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. Certain information from New York says that the present acute weakness in old crops Is merely free the market of outside Interests before notice day sq4 ttoat arrangements for a profes- siC—-v»ull 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 a*s 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 Blood and Prepare Sys tem for Hot Weather. Well-known physicians say that the Robinson Thermal Bath at home is about to become un almoet universal conqueror of disease. Any man or w o 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. Mrs. I. Bailey. 181 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, was treated for years by the beat 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. Anvone can now take Robinson Ther mal baths at home and at a cost of only about 2c a bath.

Mitchell was a heavy buyer of July, i said to he for Baruch. Mitchell, Me- : Fudden and some Wall Street brokers f were bidding, but found fair lots of cot ton for sale. • • • Rlordan, Geer, Wilson ami Jiartcorn 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 I day. * • * It is said that the Pell interests have i been heavy sellers dqring the past few ! days.

In this connection, an influence in check ing bearish enthusiasm was the con tinuation of bad 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 us a rule have been favorable and most of the talent seems convinced that the crop Is making normal pnrgre.'**. "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 on May contrac ts 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 hales 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.

The general ruins 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 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 wa3 a great dehl 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 25,0,000 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.

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 diseases and those who have used it. An unusual rase ! of this character came t-> light when Mrs. Matilda Watson, of 120 Gurran street, called Mr?. W:\tsnn is the wife of an old employee of the Dysart Construction Company, and is 55 years of age She told the following: "I suffered with severe stomach and bow > I trouble for several years. I would Moat and belch after eating and mj food would lie like lead in inv stomach. Gas would form and caused palpitation of the heart, dizzi ness. etc. I was In miserv. and could eat only the lightest foods. 1 had sev cral attacks of acute indigestion a few in"nths ago. ami was weak, pule and thin Doctors anti j>atent medicines were all alike in their inability to re lieve mo. and 1 was getting disgusted, but my attention was railed to the Quaker Herb Extract. 1 begun 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 w’ho suffer from cither stom ach, liver or kidney troubles, catarrh, rheumatism or worms should procure at least a fhial three bottle treatment of Quaker Herb Extract at once. Don't delay if you want that bounding, sparkling, radiant health—the price less asset of all men, women and children. Coursey & M linn’s Drug Store, 29 Marietta street, sells the full line of Remedies. Quaker Extract is six bottles for $5 00, three for $2.50, i $1.00 a bottle.

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 1 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 1 give all that my income warrants—and perhaps more.” “And your wife also contributes to many charities, I understand.” “Yes. She feels the same as I dc 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 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- scale 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,- 000 or $50,000,000 is no longer a d is - tinetion that makes the public ga ‘I The ultra-rich man who does nothin f but spend his days, machine-llke i' money-making, does not occupy , hi-u pedestal in the public's estimation ' • * * How to use enormous fortune. |, one of America’s pressing problem, More of our very rich men are .eek ing a solution to-day than ever b.' fore. • * * Pictures have been all the rage dur- ing recent years. But somehow their possessors are finding that picture, are less important than human beings that pictures can not yield gratitude or win the people’s prayers, that i„ I short, they are cold, comforti,,, things in comparison with grateful hearts and good deeds toward felloe mortals. 1 There is very little beating of tom- toms about most of the benevolent deeds cf our rich men. Could the fu>; e- tent of the charities of our p| u t c I crate be revealed, the record would amaze toe cynics. One of the bes* known figures in America recenth' outlined his program for the remain der of his days, but added: "Not on, word of this is for publication."
