Textile trade condition* in Georgia ire satisfactory. There i* no dan ger that mill* in this section will ’ollow the ax&mple of the Fall River Cron Works Mills, and close. This a the consensus of opinion of the fading cotton mill men of Atlanta While tarifT agitation is under way. ?rade is slack Whichever way the cariff is settled, whether favoring or tampering the mills, demand will eick up at once Meanwhile, the vpindles are. and probably' will ion- 1nue to run at full time all sum mer. Not Taken Seriously Here. The Eastern Press has been much nccited over the closing of the Fall diver Iron Work* Mills. Here, the flowing of these mills is not taken seriously The Fall River Iron Works Mills never were well organized, and never jrere run economically, say Atlanta ■ extlle men. The result has been hat just now it is cheaper for the American Print Cloth Company to liuy goods In the gray from better managed mills than It Is to produce roods in tin- gray in their own plant, Che hall River concern. "Of course, this is being used as a weapon to prevent serious cuts in rhe tariff, but those who arc 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 k 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 aired in the Ensf 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 number thus Increasing competition in those grades, and that tlie* bill would end by defeating its object? Many strange things come out of th< East, as soon as a tariff bill comes up for discussion.” NEW YORK PRODUCE. NEW YORK. May 8.

Secretaiy McAdoo’s sudden and in explicable decision to scatter $10,000 - 000 Government cash among the na tiona| banks is roundly condemned by bankers, who declare that such ac tion is simply an incentive to credit nflation 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 for the first time in its history, and is hungry for more. ! Market Steady on Firm Cables i and Professional Support, but Sentiment Is Against It. NEW YORK, May 8 There wa? good buying at the opening of the cotton mar ket to-day and first price? were 4 to 8 points better than last night's close. The market was at first strengthened on continental buying, but latep weak ened on heavy selling, inspired chiefly by reported rains in the eastern and • entral belt, where rains are badly needed. Prices immediately fell 6 to 7 points from the opening level and re ceived very little support. The bulls, however, predicted further upturns in case rains are not as good as first re ported. 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 < 'arolina 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 Slates. 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 be unfavorable for compari son Mill taking? to-morrow will be compared with 317,00( 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 final quotations of Wednesday.

Both France and Germany hold more gcid than a year ago, but Eng land reports less. An American visitor recently pre sented a letter of credit to first one French bank and then another and ie(^ed 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 ©enditions are &im- liar to those ruling in America dur ing the panic of 1907 and other mem orable financial crises. Gold is at a premium, yet both France and Ger many are adding to their bank sur pluses regardless of cost, so anxious are they to pile up the metal. • * • At Home, how goes it? Our Na tional banks have expanded loan6 some $300,000,000 within the laet twelve months, but instead of justi fying this by strengthening their re serve they have toat more than $50,- 300,000 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 port in the inflationary move ment, for it is aware of the danger involved. * * * How does the Treasury Department act in face of threatened trouble dur ing the autumn? 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. Gold that will do posi tive harm now might have been kept in readiness to stem trouble later. • • • Bankers call this deplorable. But, then, bankers are knaves, according to President Wilson and hi* 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 th* 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 a>l been used—misused—to foster credit ex pansion would effectively incite disas ter should emergencies arise. * * * Are banker* acting 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?

CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 8.—Liverpool was good on futures on the buying of new crops by the continent, but spot sales dropped to a total of 7,000 bales, at ♦ j>oints higher quotations. 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 this level. A Memphis wire said spots were sell ing freely and considerably under quo tations. Our market opened a few points higher on the 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 politics. Liverpool fqrwardings for the week are not even half as large as those of last year, which points to a bearish visible statement to-morrow. Owing to the coming Whitsunjtide holidays in England, takings will be small next week also, and visible com parisons, consequently, unfavorable. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

Taft in the sec- on'’ of his Yale lectures on modern government this afternoon. “Let the party that favors it vote for it. Let's try it.” His statement was incidental to a discussion of the necessity of the po litical party to efficient legislation. “The three objects of the new school of political thinkers who style themselves Progressives’,” said the former President, "are to prevent cor ruption of government by corpora tion interests, to create an equality of opportunity for all men, and to equalize property holdings to some degree. Persons who do not concur with this school in tlie exact method of arriving at the true purpose of popular government, which is to make for the happiness of all the people, are called reactionaries. "Those of u& who fall in this cate gory must be content, but we must never cease fighting.” SPECIAL NOTICES. Marshal Sales. United States Marshal’s Sale.

A Mistaken Idea COME PEOPLE MAY THINK THAT because the ATLANTA NATIONAL BANK is one of the strongest aud most influential banks in the South it wants only large accounts. This is distinctly a mistaken idea. Al though this is in every sense a "big” bank, aud many "big" accounts are han dled here, small accounts are most cor dially invited. The new depositor is as sured of prompt, courteous attention; and his account, however small, is given as careful attention as the largest. Whv not make this YOUR bank?
