THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AN1) NEWS. FRIDAY. MAY 2, 1013.
I. 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 the name of .in
o!<J concern, has been licensed by the
State of Georgia and Is expec ted to
play an Important part In the insur
ance world. The new company has no
relation to the old one beyond taking
over its «assets. The license was Is
sued after a thorough Inspection of
the company's araets and liabilities
and of the men backing It.
A unique instance in connection
with the formation of the company
was that the entire amount subscribed
had no charge against It, President J.
O. Wynn handling this work w ithout
recompense. The stock was sub
scribed on a 2 to 1 basis, each sub
scriber for $100 worth of etock putting
In $100 to the surplus fund as a
straightout contribution. The com
pany starts business with a capita!
stock and surplus of $200,086.
Undivided Profit Fund.
It has a fuiiv. of undivided prod's
amounting to $108,539.70 acquire!
from the purchase of the assets of
the old company. This does not in
clude stock notes amounting to $137,-
478.62, upon which the new companv
expeota to realize approximately $50,-
000.
“Thus.” say the officers of the com
pany, “it is apparent that the sto^k
of the new company subscribed at ac
tual gash of 2 to 1 has a book value
of inure than 3 to 1 at the outset.
THe following statement has been
glv#n out by the company:
“The Cosmopolitan Life Insurance
Company, of Atlanta, Georgia. Is an
entirely new and independent com
pany. It has no connection with the
old company of that name, except
that K bought its assets at public sale.
An entirely new company was organ
ized to take over these assets.
“So great was the faith of th**
stockholders in the new company that
on the day of organisation they sub
scribed themselves to more than $*>0,-
000 of life insurance, against which
there Is no commission charged.
Strong Agenoy Force.
‘The large acquaintance of Presi
dent Wynn throughout the Southern
rttates and the fact that he Is recog
nized as an able and successful man
ager has brought In « large number
of applications for agences from men
of the highest grades throughout
Georgia and other Southern States,
and It is safe to say that within a
abort time the company will have a
\ pry et.ron~ agency force at work.
“While 1t is the nurnose of the com
pany to maintain a careful and con
servative management at all times, it
will be Its policy to be a8 liberal as
possible with its agents and pollcy-
lic ders within the law and consistent
with safe and conservative conduct of
business.’’

YORK, May 2
May, which opened
the cotton market \
bullish as yesterday. The other initial j
prices ranged from unchanged to 1
point lower than last night's close, fa
bles at first were several points higher
than had been expected, but later eased
off sharply after the opening <»f thin
market Southern weather reports were
rather bearish. N<*w Orleans was active,
but fluctuated within a moderate range
during the first fifteen minutes
After the call, »h.‘ market became
weak on general selling bv the ring and
several brokers who usually represent
the larger spot houses In addition to
this selling, the market had to face
Norden A Co.’s overage estimate, which
gave the total at an Increase of 4.7 per
cent.. This was construed as bearish
and brought out considerable offerings
July underwent heavy selling pressure
and received no support It is believed
that a large portion of the short Inter
est in July has been eliminated and
some of the May taken up la being re
sold On the decline, Tilly and May
dropped 12 points iroin the initial level.
August, receded 11 points, whila late po
sitions sustained Ipsses 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 ’be laic forenoon the market
was ouiet, with prices at the low level.
It 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 ami very
little additional room is available this
month. This did not stimulate the mar
ket and general liquidation continued
• luring the afternoon session.
With the short Interest in July re
duced to t a large extent, the trade is in
clined to sell the market short on con
tinued favorable weather news and ex
tremely bearish sentiment.
The entire list showed further depress
ion during the afternoon session. May
increased its decline to 16 points under
the previous close. July and August
dropped 12 to 14 points and later months
followed the decline closely.
At the close the market was steady
with near positions 12 to 16 points low
er and distant months 8 ♦•> 10 point*
low* r than the final quotations of
Thursday.

Traders call attention to the efforts to
bull the market for a week with indif
ferent success and were inclined to look
for low er prices to-day should good rains
come in Kansas, and if foreign markets
show a decline.
• It is said by those who know that the
recent heavy selling of corn by the Ar
mour Grain Company has been to take
profits on their purchases of the past
two months. Bears are talking a larg
er movement, while the bulls regard ttie
situation as one in which there is little
money to be made on either side for the
present. Thsy believe that corn is
worth the money and do not look for
much change in prices until some new
factor develops of sufficient importance
to largely increase trade either way.”

NEW ORLEANS. May 2. This morn

weather prevails over the western half:
generally fair in the eastern half; warm

that the extensive rainstorm formation
now over Arizona and New Mexico will
move eastward over Northwest Texas

while fair weather will continue over

Peachtree Hereafter it is Peachtree
farm. And if I want to sell it I v. ill

“You would be surprised to know

with the fine weather for farmwork.
Oats were weak and V*($Vic lower.
Hogs were 5c lower at the yards this
morning, but the provision list was fair
ly well sustained under short covering.
Wheat that was thrown overboard
late yesterday and this morning, and on
W'hich the bears expected to reap a
profit, was covered at losses late to-day.
There were net gains of %ft ^ from the
lowest levels, but the losses for the day
w’ere V*®%c. It was a market that was
chock full of manipulative movements
on the part of the bulls, but there were
nfl flurries of consequence. The cadh
situation failed to cut any figure, al
though sales here were 100,000 bushels
to the interior millers, l*it the export
bids were generally out of line.

OPINION ON GRAIN.
CHICAGO, May 2.—Bartlett, Frazier
& Co.: Wheat—The market will prob
ably be lower to-day in sympathy wijh
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.

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 lias
passed.
Recent sales have reduced to a con
siderable extent burdehsome stocks
of certain grades and the market is
now in fairly good shape to meet the
proposed tariff changes.
Predictions are freely made that
many mills will close down for longer
or shorter terms or until the tariff
uncertainty is removed.
