Weather In - dications pointed to occasional showers in Georgia. North Carolina. South Caro lina. Florida and Alabama, while Mis sissippi is due to have pretty good showers in the Southern half of the belt This brought out heavy offerings. Shearson attracted considerable at ten- •on by selling about 15,000 bales, which was said to be for Wall Street operators The ring crowd took the bright side of tiie promised rain in the Eastern belt and liquidated It was rumored that a large portion of 'ne short interest has been eliminated during the past week and the market w ill more than likely be sold short again n further beneficial rainfall.

May 14 —A report is- supH hy the Census Bureau to-day snow cotton consumed in the United States for April. 503,677 running bales, loi- ton in manufacturing establishments April 30, 1.746.611 bales and in inde pendent warehouses 1,355.785 bales. Imports 20.732. equivalent 500-pound hales; exports 534,581 running bales. Cotton spindles active during Apri 30, 570,296. Comparison With Other Dry Sea sons Shows No Cause for Alarm in Georgia. Despite *the present drouth the outlook for a good cotton crop in Georgia is bright. Comparisons w’ith other dry years is reassuring to those alarmed over the situation. The sta tistics for 1896 and 1906, when the rainfall was light, and for 1912. when there was plenty of rain in the spring, bear out the contention. With an acreage of 4,610,000 in 1906, Georgia made 1,677.866 bales. The precipitation then was .81 inch for the month of April. In zl896 there was rainfall of .58 for April and with an acreage of 3.468,335, the State made a 1,299,340- bale crop. This year the April record is .84. smaller than any year for thirty-four years, except 1896 and 1906. With heavy spring rains in 1912 the yield on an acreage of 5.500.000 wa? only 1,849.303, an increase of 200,000 bales compared with 1906. This is re garded as but a slight gain in view of the heavy rain and the large in crease in acreage. If the season is good from now on, it is claimed, the crop of 1913 will be an excellent average yield. SPOT COTTON MARKET. Atlanta, quiet; middling 11%.

CINCINNATI, May 14 —The Southwest has suffered locally from drouth, while the north section of North Dakota has had excessive rains. Soil conditions throughout the surplus grain-producing States are nearly perfect. During the next few days the effect of the late season will be overcome. The antici pated movement of grain from farmers' hands after spring seeding and planting will not be generally heavy for wheat corn and oats. A moderate movement is indicated throughout Iowa and Wisconsin. Re ports indicate that there is a material reduction in the number of beef-pro ducing cattle on farms at this date, as compared with same date last year CHICAGO CASH QUOTATIONS.
