I' r THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 14 1913. 15 i Wall Street and the Ring Lead Movement—Report Spinners Absorbing Offerings. NEW YORK, May 14. Weather re ports again helped the cotton market to day. and the opening prices were l to 3 points higher. Trade was of moderate volume and without feature, especially -mi the buying side. Lack of rain over m ^ Eastern belt was reported The buying was less persistent during the eariy forenoon and a general selling movement developed, based upon the late detailed weather map. Weather in dications pointed to occasional showers in Georgia. North Carolina, South Caro- Ilna. Florida and Alabama, while Mis sissippi is due to have prettv good showers in the Southern half of the belt, l hi« brought out heavy offerings. Shearson attracted considerable atten- t on by selling about 15,000 bales, which was said to be for Wall Street operators. The ring crowd took the bright side of the promised rain in the Eastern belt and liquidated It was rumored that a large portion of the short interest has been eliminated during the past week and the market will more than likely be sold short again <»n further beneficial rainfall. / Sentiment among the locals was bear ish. The strength the market showed in the face of aggressive selling was ex plained by the bullish census report of j supply and distribution of cotton for w. ’he month of April. The report shows T J that the consumption by mills during / \ pril aggregated 503.677 bales, as com pared with 485,182 bales for the month of March. During the late forenoon the market was quiet with prices unchanged to 5 points lower than the opening quota tions. July showed strength, being under scattered short covering and held steady around the opening The market continued under heavy selling throughout the afternoon ses sion, but the. character of the buying was excellent and some operators ad vanced the idea that these contracts are being taken up by the spinners. Should this become true no decline of consequence can be foreca<n Prices during the afternoon session were 4 to 5 points lower than the ini tial level At the close the market was steady with prices at a net decline of 2 to 5 points from the final quotations of Tues day.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, May 14.—After opening rather steady the cotton market became weak in the absence of aggressive buy ing and on the heavy selling by Shear- son, who was credited with selling 10,000 bales of December from 11.02 to 11 cents. • * * Wiggins was the best seller on the call. Waters appeared the best buyer, taking 5,000 bales of December and January from Wiggins. m m 0 Sentiment was beansn. • * * Cotton was in very good demand at ihe outset and offerings were light, but me late weather indications pointed to further showers, which caused freer of ;erings generally. * • • The New York* Commercial says; ‘’Local stock of cotton is shrinking fast. Nearly 13,000 bales were shipped out of local stock yesterday, or to be exact, 12,812 bales.. This reduced the local stock to 97,054 bales, which is the low est quantity at which it has stood since January 21, when it was a little more than 97,049 bales. Exports Included 2,767 bales to Great Britain, 1,800 to France. 6,227 to the Continent and 900 to Japan and China.’ * V « Augusta. Ga.. wired yesterday the fol lowing: “Crop in this State doing splendidly.'' Another wire from Au gusta said that during a ride by auto extending over 100 miles from Athens, the sender found 95 per cent, of the cot ton up. to good stands and cultivation perfect. There was enough rain for the present and doesn't need more until the middle of June, he said. • * • The New York Cotton Exchange will he closed Saturday for an extra holiday, following Decoration Day.

Generally fair else where. No rain except in Louisiana. Much warmer; in fact, above normal. Indications are for unsettled and rain over entire northern half of bell. In creasing cloudiness; thunder storms over southern half. # * * F. H. Cordill wires from Atlanta, Ga.: “Greenwood, Athens to Atlanta coming up slowly to good stands, except At lanta section, where much cotton is not up yet. Weather too cool for past few days, coupled with continued dry weather, making germination slow. I am not apprehensive of a dry May; con ditions as a whole distinctly favorable. Weather now part cloudy and warmer.” * * * The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “The same old ghost of the once mighty manipulator again crossed the >ath of the talent, this time with words of bearish advice and selling followed. Some of the wise ones said it was only a case of the spider and the fly. The man on the fence said it was merely a case of somebody placing fly paper in convenient spots in order to catch the unwary. Anyway, the contract market declined, but reflected a better tone in the late session when the strength of spots became apparent, and when it became known that big spot houses were buying contracts. ' The weather is. of course, the con trolling influence in so far as the fall positions are concerned, while the fate of New York’s protective stock will de termine the fate of the July short in lie Northern market “Many professionals seemed to think the weather bureau's cotton region weather bulletin for the week ending Monday night was a stand-off. The se riousness of dry weather in some parts of the Eastern belt, and the fact that ~ool nights have been a retarding factor n the West were features of the report. •'In connection with the July position insiders at New York say between fifty and sixty . thousand bales out of New York’s total stock of 108,135 bales will have been exported by the end of May ind that lack of freight room alone is responsible for the fact that no more cotton will go out during May ” DULL; PRICES OFF!- Today's New York Stock Market The following table shows the | highest, lowest and close, to- Chesapeake and Ohio Purchased gether with the previous close: on Rumor That Dividend Will Not Be Cut.

Comparisons w The sta tlstics? 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 was only 1,849,303. an increase of 200,000 \>ales 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. BAR SILVER. LONDON, May 14.—Bar silver steady 28% d. NEW YORK.

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.
