I 17 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30,1913. STEADIES STOCKS Transactions Are Light and At tributed to Professionals—Lit tle Faith in Market. By CHARLES W. STORM. N*EW YORK, April 30 —There was a strong upturn in the stock market at the opening to-day, nearly all issues making substantial gains. Just as Cana dian Pacific had led in the decline yes terday, so did it lead in the advance to day, and began at 236%, for an advance of 2%. Within a half hour it had re acted to 235. ‘ The New York market followed the lead of London, where securities were strong on the belief that the disturbed condition of Europe would be calmed by diplomacy. Among the advances here were Amal- ing Souiweju r'acinc “4, cine %, United States Steel'common % Union Pacific reacted. The curb market was Irregular. American railroad shares In London exhibited strength on gains which showed an oversold condition. Canadian Pacific reacted after a sharp spurt. Berlin was chiefly responsible for the trend of the London market. There was a small recovery In the mar kets around noon and the market had an upward tendency. Heading gained A*. Southern Pacific was down 1%. Steel gained %, Copper was up % at 71%. Union Pacific was up % at 234%; Cana dian was up %. Call money loaned at 2%. A better tone developed In the last hour and there was considerable Inter national business. Arbitrage brokers took over 10,000 shares of Steel alone. Hteel sold around 59% for a gain of %, and gains also were made by Union Pa cific. Reading and Canadian Pacific. New Haven was weak. The market closed strong. Govern ments unchanged; other bonds firm. MONEY AND EXCHANGE. NEW YORK, ‘April 30.—Money on call. 2%. Time money steady; 60 days, 4; 90 days. 4@4%.j; six months, 4%@4%. Posted rates: Sterling exchange, 4.84 @4.87, with actual business in bankers’ bills at 4.86% for demand and 4.83% for 60-day bills. Prime mercantile paper unchanged. BAR SILVER. LONDON, April 30.—Bar silver quiet at 27 15-16d. H. H.—New York City bonds are safe. The recent decline was no doubt largely due to the belief that a new is sue would be brought out shortly at a higher rate of interest than has pre viously been offered investors. It is rafe to conclude that the city will al ways pay the interest on its obligations. • * • M. F.—Erie first preferred has lost its attractiveness as an investment in the passing of E. H. Harrlman. It is diffi cult to imagine that the stock will re turn to its high price of a few years ago without going through some form of readjustment. Tne company is badly in need of funds. • • • B. J. R. — St. Louis and Southwestern Consolidated 4s. Third Avenue refund ing 4s and Seaboard Air Line refunding 4s are all considered good. • * * C. M\—There is not sufficient data at hand to pass an opinion on the first bonds you mention. Virginia Railway first 5 per cents are favorably consid ered among the banking houses. SPOT COTTON MARKET.

YOUR account is respectfully solicited. Atlanta National Bank Assets 510,000,000.00 Both Elements Seem Puzzled Over Attitude of Liverpool In terests in the Market, NEW YORK, April 30. A disposition on the part of the professionals and Wall Street to sell. Influenced by weak ness in Liverpool cables, caused the cot ton market to open easier with first prices 6 to 7 points net lower than the previous close. Heavy selling followed, thought to be from those who purchased yesterday taking profits, whJch resulted In prices showing further depressions of 1 to 4 points from the opening. Later the selling was in less evidence on ac count of active bidding by spot houses and considerable short covering. Prices quickly retrieved a portion of the ini tial decline by advancing some 2 to 7 points. The advance, however, came in the face of continued favorable weather re ports and sentiment generally* bearish. Many operators Inclined to the belief that a reaction was in evidence. A broker with spot house connections of fered 5.000 bales of October at 10.86. At present the talent seems to center its attention and operations upon the near options, while distant positions are in less demand. Bulls got little comfort from the weather forecast, which was "fair" for weather forecast, which was ‘fair" for all the cotton-growing States through •ursday. There will not be ranch change of temperature, except In Geor gia. During the late forenoon the market was quiet. There was no special feature, except the buying of July and apparent selling of new crop positions, which came mostly from Wall Street operators. Price movement was narrow, being 1 to 4 points under the opening, or 1 to 7 points under the previous dose. Liverpool interests control approxi mately 80 per cent of the total stock here it seems. Cotton in New York is the cheapest in the world. Some radical bears predict lower levels. At the close tho market was steady, with prices showing irregularity, being 1 to 2 points up to 2 to 3 points lower than the final quotations of Tuesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S NEW ORLEANS, showed surprising weakness this morn ing. with old crop futures about. 6 poin' lower than due and new crops 4 to points down. The weakness is attrib uted to selling on the part of interest? credited with taking up cotton on tend er in our markets and to the unfavorable political outlook. Rumors of war still lack confirmation but the heavy slump on Continental bourses reflects the critical state of at' fairs. A large Liverpool spot house writes: "As far as we can see. anxiety about our stock is going to end In smoke. The trade is working from hand to mouth, and, as a rule, more cotton comes here than counted on. We see no reason to doubt that we .shall get all we require and leave us enough stock to prevent any corner." First trades here were at a decline of 7 to 10 points with new crops the weak est, but buying was of much better char acter, and the market rallied. Liverpool closed at the lowest, 5 to 6 points down on the day. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

While the politi cal outlook was unfavorable in the Far East and there was a further decline of 1-L6d in British consols these were over balance*! by lower offerings of wheat by Canada, the small demand for cargoes and parcels and the fact that the short Interest at Liverpool lias been pretty well eliminated. Northwestern receipts were considerably in excess of a year ago. Corn was a shade lower oh the break In wheat, coupled with tho change to fine weather in the corn belt. Oats were a shade higher with small offerings and buying by larger commis sion houses. Provisions were a trifle better, in sympathy with the advance in the price of hogs at the yards. Wheat, ruled irregular and unsettled and while prices closed % to Vic below the best levels of the day, they were % to %c higher than the lowest of the session. Those who sold early and who were hammering the market were on the buying side as the day wore away. The foreign situation and the possible crop damage were the leading bullish factors late. Duluth reported a good demand* for cash wheat, but the only sales at Chicago were 25,000 bushels to millers. Corn closed % to %c higher with the May attracting a great deal of atten tion. It is generally believed that the longs in May corn will experience little trouble in giving the shorts a sound drubbing because of the light supplies Oats closed % to %c higher and strung.

A cold, wet spring left the ground In poor condition for planting and germination. Good warm rains are badly needed. The searon genorally is normal. Fertilizers are more liberally used in Georgia. Ad* vices from Alabama state that the crop outlook has been greatly improved by good rains and that the Indications point to an increase in the acreage of r> per cent and in the use of fertilizer of 18 to 20 per cent. The following shows the condition of the cotton crops in the Carolina® and Georgia as made up from special reports to The Journal or Commerce: North Carolina and South Carolina—It is yet too early for definite estimates on acreage, but there is a tendency to increase slightly, rather than de crease. In many localities the season la early and planting has progressed fa vorably. But the ground is too dry now for cotton to come up and a warm rain is needed to Insure a successful jtart. On the whole, the crop appears to have had a better start than usual. Georgia—Owing to excessive rains In the spring, preparation of the ground has been poor, necessitating consider able replanting, and in many localities this caused poor stands. Cool nights have been detrimental, and rain is bad ly needed to germinate late planted seed. Many farmers are only 50 r>er cent planted and there Is considerable complaint of scarcity of seed. Many reported reductions in decreased acre age are due to increased planting of grain, but. on the whole, present Indica tions point to the same acreage as last year. Fertilizers are used more liberal ly. The season is about ten days late. METALS. NEW YORK. April 30.— 1 The metal market was tinner to-day. Copper, spot to August, 14%@15%; lead, 4 45 bid; spelter and ziac, 4*5.55, tin, 49.62%@ The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "From the most reliable Informa tion available it seem® very probable that Liverpool operators will take up some 50.000 bales In New York on May contracts and export them. It also seems very probable that some New Or leans operators will take up cotton on New York May contracts, ship It to New Orleans and tender it on New Orleanz May contracts. "May long interest was liquidated in some volume in New Orleans yesterday, and the talent seemed to believe that somelv dy was buying new crop deliv cries. There was plenty of talk about prospective war in Europe, of the heavy liquidation of American securi ties by foreign holders, and of the ex cellence of the weather throughout the cotton belt. Bui the talent got all mixed up when endeavor was made to analyze the direct forces at work in the market and at the close most professionals were confused by the irregular price changes." Following are 10 a. m. bids: May 11.96, July 11.72. August 11.33, October 11.97, January 11.98. Estimated receipts for Thursday: 1913. 1912 New r Orleans 800 to 1,200 668 Galveston 2,800 to 3,800 3,512 COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. Logan A. Bryan: Prices may go low er, but wo would not follow the short side too closely. Norden & Co.: The market at the close seems to point to lower prices, unless the outlook for the coming crop should become less favorable. Hayden, Stone & Oo.: 'While there was small inducement to buy cotton for an advance, many were led to take a more cautious attitude on this decline. RAILWAY SCHEDULES. SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
