! Georgia Crops Far
Behind This Year
savannah, GA., May 16.—“The
general condition of the crops through
out the State is very backward.’’ said
Professor J. Walter Hendricks, who has
returned from a trip through the Sa
vannah territory In the interest of the
Boys' Corn Clubs.
“The spring oats crop is going to be
almost an entire failure,^ However, the
fall sown oats, put in with a grain drilb
will make out all right, notwithstand
ing the dry weather. About two-thirds
of the corn crop has come to a stand,
while some fields have not jet been
planted Where corn has been given a
cultivation it is looking well.
“Not more than one-half of the cot
ton crop has come to a stand. On4-
thlrd of the crop has not yet been plant
ed. However, the farmers are in a
very hopeful frame of mind, and are
going ahead in a determined way. ■ It
is not too late to make a crop. A failure
this year would go hard with the farm
ers. as the cotton crop has been a fail
ure for the last two years. In 1911
there was a good crop, but the heavy
rains kept the farmers from picking It.
and there was a great loss. Last year
it rained all the time. This year has
been rather dry."

Danger Lies in People Believ
ing Panic Rumors.
WASHINGTON. May 15.—“There
Is no threatening cloud in the busi
ness atmosphere of the United
States.’’ declared James J. Hill, rail
road king of the Northwest, who is in
Washington on business.
Mr. Hill was discussing the exist
ing economic conditions of the coun
try and the probable industrial con-
(iltiorLs of the hear future. As If to
give added emphasis to the above
statement, he said;
"1 sec no menace to our national
progress in the present industrial sit
uation. Rather the existing situation
leads me to take a somewhat opti
mistic view of our future. The only
danger to continued industrial pros
perity lies in the people themselves.
"The tendency of the people to
seize upon false rumors of impend
ing industrial upheavals—gnd these
rumors, usually having their birth in
irresponsible quarters, are always a
danger with us.
"If the people keep their heads, if
they do not become angry at some
temporary ill that may look big to
them as & portent of industrial panic,
the country will continue to progress
along prosperity lines."
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Thompson, Towle & Co.: We believe
market is too low. but would buy on
breaks only.
Norden & Co.: We feel conservative
purchases of all positions on weakness
will prove profitable
Hayden, Stone & Co.: With senti
ment os much against bull speculations
it is impossible to attract buying in
cotton without a crop disaster.
Miller & Co : The tendency seems
downward.
WHEAT CONDITIONS BAD.
CHICAGO, May 15. B. W. Snow says:
"The wheat situation on the Pacific
Coast is radical!) different from the rest.
Of tlie countrV. There has been drouth
all spring and crop advices are coming
l»a<l. Every weather bureau station west
of the Rockies show a heavy deficiency
ii moisture since the beginning of the
season and foremost of them the figures
are sensational.

NEW YORK, May 16.—The opening of

trading was light Gifford, (Jeer. Mitch

A wire from Texas said that the
crop was in excellent shape. East and

crop ought to-be early it is slightly late,
with some replanting having been nec

Liverpool cabled yesterday that Nelli

241,000 bales in the last eight weeks,
against an Increase of 166,000 "ales dur

According to a report received from
Austin, Tex., very little cotton has been

The New York Commercial says: A
Jap walked into a Broadway commission
house yesterday and stood gazing at
the board a while Then he picked up
the cotton tape and studied it attentive
ly. The manager politely asked him
whether he understood the figures. “Sure
1 do,’’ replied the Jap in the best ver
nacular, and proceeded to extract from
his pockets a handful of charts. He had
charts of cotton prices, others of wheat
movements, still others of coffee and
finally a curious maze of lines to indi
cate the stock market. After consult
ing them he announced that Jqly cot
ton was headed toward 12 cents and
that coffee was a purchase at current
levels. Then he made his exit. "Well, it
does seem as if Japs make charts of
everything from markets to fortifica
tions," observed the manager. '‘Perhaps
he is getting ready to blow up the stock
market," suggested a loafer.

NEW ORLEANS, May 15.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather -map shows
cloudy over the entire belt. Home good
rains in Arkansas. Showers ifi North
Louisiana and East Tennessee. The
map shows no raih elsewhere, but de
tailed records at 10 o'clock bound to
show more precipitation, as telegraph
companies and private reports,say rain
fall at many points Indications are for
unsettled, showery weather over the
entire belt, with increasing certainty, of
rain in the Eastern States.
* * ■*
The detailed .Government records show
a rather general rainfall in Oklahoma
over night. Twelve stations out of a to
tal of eighteen show an average of near
ly one inch, whereas the weather map
this morning gives only .14 at one dta-
tiQn. This shows how. showers, no mat
ter hpw large, are not always shown on
' map.
We compare with mill takings for
the week last year of 279,00.0 bales. It
is believed that the visible supply will
be bearish
• • •
The New Orleans Times-Dernocrat
says: Like a bolt from the blue, the
bear contingent hurled defiance in the
teeth of the enemy in thp shape of an
assertion that the new crop is in as rood
condition as it was at this time in 1911.
Of course, bulls ridiculed such an idea
and countered with, deficient rainfall re
ports, with adviefes saying replanting on
too large a scale for the good of the
crop had been made necessary by cool
nights, and finally by exploiting a tele
gram dated San Antonio, which read:
j ‘Many reports of abandoned acreage on
account of no germination and too late
to replant even if rfljris come soon. De
ficiency in rainfall since January 1, 3.54
inches.”

The transfer of New' York’s protective
<toek to foreign lands must be assum
ing a serious aspect in the eyes of July
shorts. It is now reported that a num
ber of thousand bales of low' grades have
been culled out and ear-marked for
Bombay. All along Liverpool has ad
vised that low grades cotton out of the
New York stock would be welcomed
there Thus it would seem that the
New York July short has real cause
for concern, especially since the New
York contract market holds^ well below
Southern spot parity.
NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET.
Coffee quotations:
NEW YORK, May 16.—New crops
were supported moderately on account
of the weather reports at the opening of
the cotton market to-day, first prices
ranging from 1 point lower to 2 points
higher than last night’s close The
tone was steady. Outside trading inter
ests are apparently awaiting further
crop statistics.
The market was extremely dull dur
ing the late forenoon and prices fluctu
ated within a very narrow range, being
1 point higher to 3 points low’ef than
the opening quotations. Dullness was
attributed chiefly to the apathy on the
part of the leading professionals, who
were inclined to withdraw their atten
tion from the market until something
new turned up.
Sentiment was bearish; also weather
reports. The map shows < rain storm
formations over Southwest Texas, hold
ing forth good prospects for rains; also
in the South. North Carolina, and South
Carolina are forecast to have fair
leather, while Florida, Alabama, Geor
gia and Mississippi are due to receive
local showers.
In addition to the bearish weather
conditions the impression prevails that
the visible supply figures to-morrow and
also mill takings will prove a bearish
factor. This brought out tath«‘r free
offerings from the ring and Wall Street,
but the market took the selling well and
prices were firmly -niintained around
the Initial level.
Interest (luring the afternoon session
was plainly centered on new crop posi
tions. The local crowd and Wall Street
continued to sell on reported rains in
the Eastern belt. The market, however,
maintained a steady tone, owing the
buying by brokers who were said to be
buying for Liverpool. Near positions
were practically unchanged from the
opening, while new crops were 3 to 4
points lower.
Ev4Ty one seems to be waiting for
new developments. This coupled with
Liverpool being closed Friday and Sat
urday will probably cause the market to
rule very uuiet with a narrow' range, but
the prevailing tendency seems to be
downward as sentiment continues bear
ish. The majority of traders s$em to be
waiting for something to come up so
they can sell, believin^that the market
is too high In the face of predominating
bearish sentiment.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline of 1 to 2
points from the flntfl quotations of Wed
nesday.

HAYWARD A CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 15.—Liverpool
is holding around $d for new or ops and
awaiting developments. Sjxfi sales are
very small; total, 6.000 bales. That
market will be closed to-morrow and
Saturday and may affect spot business.
Political news is not prominent -at pres
ent. but the failure of government se
curities to show a rapid recovery would
suggest that apprehension has rot vet
entirely subsided.
Detailed government records show
rather general precipitation overnight
in Oklahoma, twelve stations out of a
total of eighteen reporting an average
of nearly one inch.
The into-sight movement for the week
looks around 76,000 bales, against-96,186
last year.
A9 Liverpool forwarding* to mills this
week are only 46,000 American, against
67,000 last year, an unfavorable con
sumption statement is indicated for to
morrow.
So far to-day advices of rain have
''Ome from Pine Bluff. Little Rock,
Spartanburg and Greenville. South
Carolina.
Th4 market is quiet around 11.10 for
October. Buying of new crops by Eu
rope was again quite prominent till*
morning and held up the scales against
selling on good crop reports and favor
able weather reports. It is essentially a
waiting market.
