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."

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. "The coast wheat prospects have gone back rapidly since May, and it begins to look like a decidedly small winter wheat crop w-est of the mountains.’’ THE WEATHER Conditions. WASHINGTON, May 15. There wili be showers to-night or Friday from the Mississippi Valley eastward, except in the southern portion of the Middle At lantic States, where the weather will be generally fair. It will be warmer in the Eastern portion of the country and cooler in the Ohio valley ami upper Lake region Friday.

The re port said that the crop is about ten days late in Texas. • ♦ • 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. • • • Liverpool cables: "American middling fair, 7.26d; good middling, 6.92d; mid dling. 6.72d; Iqw middling, 6.58d; good ordinary, 6.24d; ordinary, 5.90d. • * * Atlanta dispatch to Journal of Com merce states that notwithstanding the fact that for nearly five weeks practi cally 110 rain lias fallen in Georgia, the State Department of Agriculture pre dicts a "bumper” cdtton crop this yeat for that State. * * «* Dallas wires "Texas Panhandle clear, rest cloudy; sOTne good rains east ern part; Oklahoma generally cloudy; rains central.' * • • NEW ORLEANS, May 15.—Hayward & Clark: The weather -map shows cloudy over the entire belt.

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.

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. Fallowing are 11 a. m. bids in New York: May 11.41, July 11.54.

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.
