THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1913.
it SELLING
CO. STARTS WELL
Cosmopolitan’s Purchase of Old
Corporation’s Assets Gives Un
divided Profit Fund.
The Cosmopolitan Life Insurance
Company, of Atlanta, Georgia, a new
organization bearing ihe name of an
old concern, has been licensed by the
State of Georgia and is expected to
play an important part in ^he im ir-
a*ee world. The new company has no
relation to the old one beyond taking
over its assets. The licens* was Is
sued after a thorough inspection of
the company's a-seets and labilities
and of the men backing it.
A unique instance in connection
with the formation of the company
was that the entire amount subscribe !
bad no charge against it, President J.
O. Wynn handling this work without
recompense. The stock was sub
scribed on a - to 1 basis, each sub
scriber for $100 worth of stock putting
in $100 to the surplus fund as a
straightotit contribution. The com
pany starts business with a capita!
stock and surplus of $260,036.
Undivided Profit Fund.
Ii liar a fund of undivided profits
amounting to $108,639.70 a'quire 1
from the purchase of the assets *f
the old company. This does not in
clude stock notes amounting to $137',-
478.62, upon which the new companv
expects to realize approximately $60,-
' 000.
“Thus," say the officers of the com
pany, "it is apparent that the sto’k
of the new' company subscribed at ac
tual cash .of 2 to 1 has a book value
of more than 3 to 1 at the oiitpet.
The following statement has been
given out by the company:
•The <’osmopolitan Life Insurance
Company, of Atlanta, Georgia, is .in
entirely new and independent com
pany. It has no connection with the
old company of that name, exceot
that it bought its assets at public sale.
An entirely new company whs organ
ized to take over these assets.
“Ho great was the fajth of the
stockholders in the now company that
on the day of organization they »ub-
gcribed themselves to more than $50,-
000 of life insurance, against which
there is no commission charged.
Strong Agency Force.
"The large acquaintance of Provi
dent Wynn throughout the Southern j
States and the fact that ho is recog- j
ulzed as an able and successful man - <
agor has brought in a large number
of applications for agcnces from men
of the highest grades throughout
Georgia and other Southern State;*,
and it i* safe to say that within a
♦hurt time the company will have a
verv stron~ agency force at work.
"While it is the purpose of the com
pany to maintain a careful and con
servative management at all times, it
will be its policy to be as liberal as
possible with its agents and pollcy-
h< c.ers within the law and consistent
with safe and conservative conduct of
business.”

this selling, the market had to face

gave the total at an increase of 4.7 per

dropped 13 point* from the initial level.
August recoded 11 points, while late po
sitions sustained h sses of 9 to 11 points.
The decline was helped along on pros
pects of bearish mill takings figures
and absence of any special news of the
spot situation.
During the late forenoon the market
was quiet, with prices at the lev level.
!t became, apparent to-day that May
contracts taken up by the foreign in
terests will be re-tendered here, since
actual holders are inclined to be dis
appointed with it. However, it is said
that there has been freight room en
gaged for about 25,000 bales and very
tittle additional room is available this
month. This did not stimulate the mar
ket and general liquidation continued
during the afternoon session.
With the short interest in July re
duced to a large extent, the trade is in
clined to sell the market short on con

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COT
TON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, May 2. -This morn
ings map shows that the cold wave re
mained stationary over the Rockies dur
ing the past twenty-four hours. Cloudy
weather prevails over the western half;
generally fair in the eastern half; warm
er generally no rain. Prospects are
that the extensive rainstorm formation
now over Arizona and New Itytexlco will
move eastward over Northwest Texas
and Oklahoma and cause unsettled and
rainy weather in the Western States,
while fair weather will continue over
the eastern half of tlie belt. The cold
wave should follow in the wake of the
storm area, but nothing definite can be
said about its course before to-morrow.
While there is no positive political news,
the advance In consols and rentes re
flects an improvement in views.
Liverpool was strong at the opening
of our markets, but weakened consid
erably in the last hour. Sales continue
large Total. 10.000 bales to-day, tit 12
oints higher quotations.
After the rather extensive covering
of yesterday, our market ruled quiet
and easier this morning. Absence of
bad weather overnight and prospects
of bearish mill takings this afternoon
diminished support. New York advices
are still to the effect that the general
diort interest is large, and the larger
interests are In favor of further reac
tion.
The contract market is quiet, consid
ering the possibility of further easiness
on bearish mill takings, but there is no
great desire {to sell. Whether develop
ments over Sunday and prospects of im
proving politics hold action in suspense
rping in and the position of the short
had become untenable
"Students of the market pointed to
the comparatively heavy exports f*>r the
week thus far. to the rapidly shrinking
port stocks and to the sharp loss In stock
at several of the leading Southern cen
ters.
"Liverpool harped on the fact flint low
grad** cotton is needed there, and as
sert ed that the presence of low-grade
cotton in the New York stock will not
prevent the taking up and shipping of
cotton from New York to Liverpool.”

Made $20,0C0 Richer
By Word ‘Peachtree’
Atlanta Postmaster Says He Used
Fine Judgment in Choosing Magic
Name for Farm.
Postmaster Hugh McKee says he
has added $20,000 to hie personal
wealth by means of one word. "Peach
tree” is the word. Captain George S.
Low'ndee made the suggestion which
enriched Mr. McKee.
"I have decided to call my farm, an
80-acre plot out on Peachtree Road,
by the one and only magic name—
Peachtree. Hereafter It is Peachtree
farm. And if I want to sell it I will
get a considerable amount more be
cause of the name,” said Mr. McKee.
“You would be surprised to know
how people art; using that name and
how it is spreading all over the coun
try.
"Letters* are addressed to Peachtree
Place. Peachtree Road, Peachtree Cir
ri* . t - tchtree Heights, Peachtree
Park, Peachtree Avenue and a doze.n
others of the Peachtree variety. Ev
erybody is using the name for every
thing.”

CHICAGO, May 2. Wheat was to®toe
lower this morning on the sharp loss at
Liverpool, coupled with the larger offer
ings In the pit and the general belief
that the government May crop report,
which is only a few days away, will
show the growing plant to be in a most
excellent condition with the promise of
an enormous yield of winter wheat.
Northwestern receipts were more lib
eral than a year ago, while Winnipeg
receipts were smaller.
Corn was lower In sympathy
with the weakness in wheat, coupled
with the fine weather for farm work.
Oats were weak and to® toe lower.
Hogs w ‘re 5c low er at the yards this
morning. >ut the provision list was fair
ly well su itained under short covering.
Wheat that was thrown overboard
late yesterday and this morning, and on
which the bears expected to reap a
profit, was covered at losses late to-day.
There tvere net gains of %®to from the
lowest levels, but the losses for the day
were to® too. It was a market that was
chock full of manipulative movements
on the part of the bulls, but there were
nc> flurries of consequence. The cash
situation failed to cut any figure, al
though sales here w’ere 100,000 bushels
to the interior millers. Kit the export
bids were generally out of line.
Corn whs unchanged to toe lower to

OPINION ON GRAIN.
CHICAGO, Mav 2.—-Bartlett, Frazier
A- Co.: Wheat—The market will prob
ably be lower to-day in sympathy with
the weakness abroad, but we continue
to feel strong on the cash situation.
Corn—The market shows no signs of
weakness, although new speculative
buying at the moment is rather limited
Oats—We prefer the long side of the
deferred futures on weak spots.

Many Mills Will Close Down Until
Tariff Changes Are Made—Sales
and Values Off.
BOSTON, May 2.—Sales of wool
have dropped again, with the small
business done largely at the expense
of values, owing to conflicting re
ports from Washington regarding the
tariff. The trade is nervous. Dealers
and manufacturers are likely to pro
ceed cautiously until the bill has
passed.
Recent sales have reduced to a con
siderable extent burdensome stocks
of certain grades and the market is
now in fairly good shape to meet the
proposed tariff changes.
Predictions arc freely made that
many mills will close dow n for longer
or shorter terms or until the tariff
uncertainty is removed.
