Not Taken Seriously Here. The Eastern Press has been much Txeitod over the closing of the Fall it Ivor Iron Works Mills Here, the flowing of these mills Is not taken spriously Tile Fall River Iron Works MMIm never were well organized, and never *ere run economically, say Atlanta extlle men. The result has been hat just now It is cheaper for the American Print Cloth Company to buy goods in the gray from better managed mills than It is to produce goods in the gray In their own plant, rtie Fall River concern "Of course, this is being used as a weapon to prevent serious cuts In the tariff, but those who are well in formed are not deceived by the move." says A. F. Johnson. President of the Exposition Mills. Denies Tariff Charges. "The truth of the matter is that H has proved cheaper to buy gray goods from other looms rather than operate the looms at Fall River. As to the charge which is being sired In the East to the effect that the tariff bill has been framed In the benefit of Southern mills, that is ridiculous. If a tariff were framed to favor the coarser numbers which the Southern mills spin, isn’t it rea sonable to suppose that the Eastern mills would turn to coarser numbers thus Increasing competition In those grades, and that the bill Would end by defeating Its object?

PRICE OF COTTON GRAIN TRADERS AWAIT REPORT France and Germany are Forcing National Banks to Accumulate Tremendous Reserve. By B. C. FOFTBEIS. President Wilson has nothing but contempt for bankers—he scorned the since he wanted Only honest col leagues—and now the Treasury De partment is obediently snapping its fingers at experienced bankers who are raising warnings that the bank ing situation needs careful handling. Secretary McAdoo’s sudden and in explicable decision to scatter $10,000.- 000 Government cash among the na tional banks is roundly condemned by bankers, who declare that such ac tion is simply an incentive to credit inflation already alarming, and that the Treasury may have need for a distributable surplus before the year ends. The Bank of France on Monday paid a premium of $10,000 to force $2,000,000 American gold out of this country and into its vaults. It has taken $25,000,000 of our gold since New Year. Germany has given orders that the Reichsbank's stock of gold must be increased at any cost. The institu tion has piled up fully $250,000,000 Market Steady on Firm Cables and Professional Support, but Sentiment Is Against It. NEW YORK, May 8 There was good buying at the opening of the cotton mar ket to-day and first prices were I to 8 points better than last night's dose The market was at first strengthened on continental buying, but later weak ened on heavy selling, inspired chiefly by reported rains in the eastern and central belt, where rains are badly needed. Prices immediately fell 6 t» points from •Dio opening level and re ceived very nttle support. The bulls, ery nttJe supf however, predicted further upturns in ease rains are not as good as first re- poftfld • Further weakness in the spot situation also was a factor in depressing prices. The weakness in the actual came in the face of reports that the Carolina mills were asking for cotton. The report was given very little attention and fell flat on the market. The weather map was very favorable overnight and the detailed Government records show pretty good rains in the Eastern States. Indications arc for fair, warmer to showery weather over the larger part of the belt for the next 48 hours. The week-end figures to-morrow are expected to he unfavorable for compari son. Mill takings to-morrow will be compared with 317.000 hales for the same week last year. The market during the afternoon ses- sion was rather quiet with the trading attributed mainly to professionals. Wall Street continued to sell, also the ring scalpers. Price movement was narrow and practically unchanged from the low level. At the close the market was steady with prices net unchanged to 6 points higher than the Anal quotations of Wednesday.

The Bonk of England has not one- quarter the amount of specie already collected by the Bank of France and has not a great deal more than half as much as the German Imperial Bank.

An American visitor recently pre sented a letter of credit to first one French bank and then another and isked 500 francs ($100) in gold. All refused. Not a grain of the yellow metal is willingly, parted with by either French or German banks. Hoarding has been carried to lengths unimagined ‘here. Says President Alexander, of the Bank of Commerce, in a special cable to The Georgian from London: "It is almost impos sible to obtain gold in France at pres ent. while there is an equal scarcity in Germany." The conditions are sjm- liar to those ruling in America dur ing the panic of 1907 and other mem orable financial crises.

LIVRRPOL, May 8.—This market was due to open unchanged to %d higher, but opened steady, at a net gain of 2% to 3 points on near positions and 3% to 4 points higher on distant months. At 12:15 p. m., the market was quiet and steady, 2 to 3 points. At the close the market was very steady with prices at a net gain of 2 to 4 points from the Anal quotations of Wednesday.

Futures opened steady. At home, how goes it? Our Na tional banks have expanded loans some $300,000,000 within the last twelve months, but instead of justi fying this by strengthening their re serve they have lost more than $50,- 000,000 cash. In other words, loans are inflated one million dollars every business day, despite a shrinkage in cash of a million dollars every week. This alarming process is still going on—merrily, so far, but tragedy is courted. New York, be it said, is tak ing no part in the inflationary move ment, for it is aware of the danger involved. li was said yesterday mills were calling for <•*» large lots.

Does it buttress its position so as to be able to meet emer gencies? No. It incites further loan expansion by taking $10,000,000 from the nation’s vaults and scattering it among hundreds of banks—this, too, without any known suggestion from the banks that Treasury funds should be depleted.

The New Orleans Times! democrat says: "Preponderance of professional opinion still favors the short side, con sequently the cotton market is called by the majority ‘right’ when it de clines. and ‘wrong’ when it advances. “For this reason the loudest explana tions of yesterday’s advance were that the manipulator was again at work; that the new crop is doing as well as at this time in the big crop year, that temperatures are more favorable than last year, and that the underlying bear ishness of the general situation is being overshadowed by other things The hull replfed: ‘It is a mistake to imagine the crop is doing as well as In the big crop year, thus, the fate of the new crop is still in the balance.

Bankers call this deplorable. But, then, bankers are knaves, according to President Wilson and his advisers. Were they as anxious to "put the Administration in a hole" as is some times alleged, ’these bankers would encourage the complete emptying of the Treasury now, thereby destroying the only weapon available to fight the real trouble that is feared when rec ord-breaking crops have to be har vested and marketed. Knowledge that the Government’s reserve had all been used—misused—to foster credit ex pansion would effectively incite disas ter should emergencies arise. Are bankers aoting the part of un scrupulous schemers when they urge that the United States Treasury De partment should conserve its re sources at present, that the depart ment should look across the Atlantic and study what is going on there; that it should take note of the arbi trary withdrawal of millions of gold from America to Europe when ex change quotations do not justify such action, and that the Secretary of the Treasury should seek counsel from those who have spent their lives in diagnosing domestic and interna tional monetary developments?

A cable said: "Have no decided opinion, but rather against the market, although purchases are being made by the conti nent at present prices of winter months." European government securities are higher and there was no political news. Political affairs now seem to be in a waiting attitude. There is undoubtedly more optimism, which explains the bet ter European demand for new crops at •his level. A Memphis wire said spots were sell ing freely and considerably under quo tations. Our market opened a few points higher on tin* good Liverpool and strength in New York, but soon eased on private rain reports from the East. Prospects of an unfavorable visible sup ply statement to-morrow also affected support. There is a suspicion, however of professional intentions in New York against the technical condition, the market having supposedly become over sold during the late period of menacing polities. Liverpool forwardings for the week are not even half as large as those **f last year, which points to a bearish visible statement to-morrow. Owing to the coming Whitsuntide holidays in England, takings will he small next week also, and visible com parisons, consequently, unfavorable. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
