THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.SATURDAY. MAY 10, 1013. 11 FAMILY A YEAR Palmer Sticks to His Assertion That Father of Five Must Get $80 a Week. WASHINGTON. May 10.—P.epre- senative A. Mitchell Palmer, of Penn sylvania, a member of the majority i of the Committee on Ways* and Means is standing: firmly by the statement made by him in the House that $4,000 is the minimum annual income at which, under modern conditions af living, the American head of a fami ly can properly rear, support, and educate the average American family. Mr. Palmer made this statement in defense of the $4,000 exemption fixed by the framers of the income tax bill. Mr. Palmer amplifies nis statement as follows' “There were three points which, in analyzing my statement, must be tak en together. In the first place 1 sai l the average American family.’ This must be accepted as meaning the av erage American family of five chil dren. “The legislation must presuppose that the American family is not a childless family, and the general av erage of rich and poor, high and low- COTTON GOSSIP N'EW YORK, May 10. With Liverpool closed, i he local cotton market was more than usually dependent on the weather conditions for inspiration at the opening to-clny. hirst prices ranged 1 to 4 points higher than last night’s close. Trading was of a light character and fluctuations alter th«* call were narrow, holding within a few points of tlu opening figures. The Liverpool market was closed on account of Whitsuntide holidays. The weather map was very discourag ing to those who sold vesteday on promises of rains in the Eastern belt, and they seemed eager to replace liqui dated lines over Sunday. The ring and Wall Street covered considerable short I cotton* white the Ifirger ipot houses were noticeable buyers. < tfferings, how ever, were light and scattered. The ad vancing tendency continued throughout the short session. July showed consid erable strength and was the heaviest pressed Option on the list and at times the trade interest was centered entirely upon it. Distant positions, especially October and December, were under ac tive buying and the three options rallied 5 points over the opening level. Indications point ro fair weather over the larger part of the belt over Sunday, with somewhat lower temperatures. West Texas will have unsettled show ers. as will the Panhandle, while the rest of the Stale will be lair At the close, the market was steady, with pr ices at a net gain of 4 to 8 points from the final quotations of Friday. Spot cotton at Savannah. Ga., is about 23 points higher than the highest option on the New' York future list and about the cheapest in the South. Spots arc quoted at 11% cents there and the buyer would have to add about 75 points on the present prices should he buy it so as to cover brokerage fees, insurance, interest, freight coat and charge for certification. There is a very small chance for any profit In such a transac tion. • * * The trade is still puzzled as to what side McFadden will ultimately decide to take. One da\ he is buying and the other selling. Memphis wires that the cotton lands are in splendid shape and most of the cottdh is up. The weather is said to be good. STOCKS ARE VERY WILL ENTIRE Ml Delaware and Hudson Shows Weakness in Sympathy With New York Central. By C. W. STORM NEW YORK. May 10.—Delaware and Hudson was one of the weakest issues on the list at the opening of the stock market to-day, being sympathetically depressed by weakness in New York Central. Delaware and Hudson was 1*4 lower at the opening and later declined still further. New York Central con tinued under par. selling at 99*4 1‘or a loss of *4. Trading was quiet and nearly all stocks suffered declines. Among the losses were United States Steel com mon, *4; Union Pacific. %; Reading. a 4 ; Erie, *4; Amalgamated Copper, %: Baltimore and (Info, %; St. Paul. %. and Canadian Pacific Vfe At the end of half an hour some of the issues ral lied.

HESTER’S WEEKLY COTTON STATEMENT Secretary Hester's weekly New Or leans Cotton Exchange statement of the movement of cotton, issued before the close of business Friday, show's an increase in the movement into sight ly, must be taken regardless of the genc-ral presumption that the families of the rich are smaller than those of the moderately well to do and the poor. ’Ve are legislating for the av erage. “In the se.cond place 1 said a gross Income of $4,000.. I did nbt say a net Income, and therefore, taking the gross income as the basis as the law rakes it. there are numerous corol laries to the problem as to just what naturally unavoidable expenses of the individual are taken from his income and enter into his cost of living, so that the net income of $4,000 might represent the net on a gross of twen ty times the amount mentioned. “Third, I said: ’Support the family according to the proper American standard and send his children through the high schools and colleges of the land.’ 1 do not believe it will be possible to find any one who will attempt to deny that no modern American can live under modern American standards, feed, clothe and educate a family of five with due pro vision for their education and the maintenance of their health, send all of his children through college .*r give them technical or business train ing of equivalent value to a universi ty course and keep much Inside the expenditure of his income of $4.00o a year. I do not think that readers of the newspapers who analyze my statement will take very clearly de fined issue with the contention as I there express it.” Estimated cotton receipts: 1.913. 1912 New Orleans 1,500 to 1,800 1.051 Galveston 2,000 to 3.000 2.415 RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.

May 10.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows cloudy over the Western Slates ar.d North Car olina. generally fair elsewhere, with scattered showers it) Mississippi. North Alabama. North Carolina and a good rain at Meridian. Miss. Indications are for increasing cloudiness generally, with increased prospects for showers In the Atlantics and cooler in the north por tion of the belt. Cord ill wires from Augusta. Ga.: "Troy, Dothan, Thomasville to Macon, South Alabama and South Georgia con ditions are irregular. Much cotton up to good stands and chopped out. but ful ly 25 per cent not yet up. Soil prepara tion near perfect. Light, widely scat tered showers yesterday beneficial. Gen eral warm rain needed. Macon to Au gusta. cotton Is coming up more evenly but start late.” The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: ‘Cotton market equipoise has come to he a habit and profitless ses sions have made the rings disconsolate. It is a oueer paradox, this keen desire of the talent to discount the future, and when they have accomplished their pur pose and the market stands still the in herent love of strife impels them to be gin all over again. Yesterday a fair weather forecast for the Eastern belt worried shorts no little because the gen eral rains over lhat section, upon which they have been depending, have not come. “Now that the promise of general rain is gone, dry weather reports from Geor gia and the Carolinas will seem more significant than ever. On the other hand, 'spinners' takings for the week were comparatively small, and the de crease in the world’s visible supply con trasted unfavorably with the decrease in the corresponding week last year. Thus both factions had good talking points and the \isihle supply changes coming lasr gave the bear the closing advantage Roth factions appear ready to admit that the market as a whole is short. In the eyes of most professionals, the new crop positions have seemed attrac tive as a sale and the fact that many operator- have sold them is responsible for much of the buying power that de velops when reports of seed rotting in the ground and of the necessity for re planting come in.” NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.

Platte, Champaign and Vermillion Counties. All big oats ter ritory. Everywhere crop ts small in growth, late and starting poorly. Sur face of ground dry and plant has not yet developed sufficient root to reach down to the subsurface moisture, of which there is plenty. Rains are badly needed “Making rapid progress in corn plant ing.” WHEAT MARKET OVERSOLD. CHICAGO, May 10.—The Inter-Ocean says: "Those who are bullish on wheat regarded the market as oversold and said it would take considerable pressure from shorts to keep prices down. They consider the market on a healthy basis. The trade in corn at the moment is divided, hut they see nothing for sen sational developments on either side unless there might be a little conges tion in May. l ocal traders in oats are rather bearish, but some of the country houses are buying." OPINION ON GRAIN. CHICAGO, May 10. Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: Wheat—We look for a steady market to-day. Corn —Cash position is strong, coun try offering slight. Oats—We believe the long side on lit tle depressions the safer one. Provisions—Cash trade is light, al though shipments of lard and meats are larger than last year.
