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 Hoys' Corn Clubs. , "The spring oats crop is going to be almost an entire failure. However, the fall sown oats, put In with a grain drill, will make out all right, notwithstand ing the day weather. About two-tbirds of the corn crop has come to a stand, while some fields have not yet 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. One- third of the crop has not yet been plant ed. However, the farmers are in a very hopeful frame of inind, 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 fer 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.” COTTON MARKET IS EXTREMELY DULL Josephine Simril Jacob Patterson Willie Ivey Wiggins Miss Margaret Lewis fas. O.

Hill, rail road k<ng 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 ditions of the near future. As if to give added emphasis to the above statement, he said: “I see 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—and 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 a portent of industrial panic, the country will continue to progress along prosperity lines." A wire from Texas said that the crop was in excellent shape. East and southeast from San Antonio, where the crop ought to be early It is slightly late, with some replanting having been nec essary in small parts of the State. • • * Liverpool cabled yesterday that Neill makes European mill stock at 1,660,000 bales, against 3,325,000 last year, a de crease of 675,000 bales.

Norden A On.: We feel conservative purchases of ail positions on weakness will prove profitable. Hayden, Stone & Co.: With senti ment os much against bull speculations it is impossible to atiract buying in cotton without a crop disaster. Miller & Co.: Tne tendency seems downward. According to a report received from Austin, Tex., very little cotton has been chopped out in that territory. 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 I 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 July coD 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 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.

Panhandle clear, rest cloudy; some good rains east ern part; Oklahoma generally cloudy; rains central.” NEW ORLEANS. May 15.—Hayward Clark: The weather map shows clf»udy over the entire belt. Some good rains in Arkansas. Showers In North I.otiisiana and East Tennessee. The map shows no rain elsewhere, but de tailed records at 10 o’clock bound to show more precipitation, as telegraph companies and private reports say rain- tall 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 sta tion. This shows how showers, no mat ter how large, are not always shown on »* map. We compare with mill takings for the week last year of 279,000 bales. It is believed that the visible supply will be bearish. The New Orleans Times-Pemocrat says: Like a bolt from the blue, the hear contingent hurled defiance in the teeth of the enemy in the shape of an assertion that the new crop is in as good condition as it was at this time in 1911. Of course, bulls ridiculed such an idea and countered with deficient rainfall re ports, with advices 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: "Many reports of abandoned acreage on account of no germination and too late to replant even if rains come soon. De ficiency in rainfall since January 1, 3.54 inches." SPOT COTTON MARKET. 10W0 I bushel hags, per bushel, $140, oyster .1000 Dh . 1000 . IOuO . 1000 . 1000 1000 Ernest Baker 10:* Alfred Wilkes . . .

NEW YORK, May 15.—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 narrt/w range, being t point higher to 3 points lower 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 tor rains; also in the South. North Carolina and South Carolina are forecast to have fair weather, while Florida, Alabama. Geor gia and Mississippi are due to receive local showerH. 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 rather free offerings from the ring and Wall Street, but the market took the selling well and prices were firmly naintained around the initial level. Interest during 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 to 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. Every one seems to be waiting for new developments. This coupled with Liverpool being closed Friday and Sat- urdaj- will probably cause the market to rule very quiet with a narrow range, but the prevailing tendency seems to be downward as sentiment continues bear ish. The majority of traders seem to-be waiting for something to come up so they can sell, believing that the market ia 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 final quotations of Wed nesday. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: May 11.41, July 11.54.

May 15.—Liverpool is holding around 6d for new crops and awaiting developments. Spot sales are very small; total, 5,000 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 suegost that apprehension has not yet 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 75,000 bales, against 95,186 last year. As Liverpool forwardings 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 n ome from Pine, Bluff. Little Rock, Spartanburg and Greenville. South Carolina. The market is quiet around 11.10 for October. Buying of new crops by Eu rope was again quite prominent this morning and held up the scales against filing on good crop reports and favor able weather reports. It is essentially a waiting market.
