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
faJJ sown oats, put in with a grain drill,
will make out all right, notwithstand
ing the dry weather. About two-thirds
| of the corn crop has come to a stand,
i while some fields have not yet been
j planted. Where corn has been given a
I cultivation L is looking well,
j "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-
I 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-
I ers, as the cotton crop has been a fa.fl-
i ure fer the last two years. In Util
I there was a good crop, hut the heavy
rains kept the farmers from picking it,
land there was a great loss. Last year
I it rained all the time,
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 United
States.” declared Jatnes J. Hill, rail
road kmg 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:
*T 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, ure 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.”

NEW YORK, May 15.—The opening of
the cotton market was very quiet and
trading was light. Gifford. Geer, Mitch
ell, Russell. McEnany, Hubbard, Rior-
dan, Geran and Ingeraoll were the lead
ing buyers. Hentz, Clearman, Hicks.
Minn and Rosenberg were the leading
sellers.

A wire from Texas said that the
crop was in excellent shape. East and
southeast from San Antonio, where the
©rop 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 1,650,000
bales, against 3,325.000 last year, a de
crease of 675,000 bales. Stocks decrease
241,000 bales in *the last eight weeks,
against an increase of 166,000 bales dur
ing the corresponding period last year.
• * •
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
J*p 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
Ills 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 cot
ton was headed toward 12 cents and
that coffee was a purchase at current
levels. Then he made his exit. “Well, it
does seVm as if Japs make charts of
everything from markets to fortifica
tions.” observed the manager. “Perhaps
lie is getting ready to blow up the stock
market.” suggested a loafer.

Atlanta dispatch to Journal of Com
merce states that notwithstanding the
fact that.for nearly five weeks practi
cally no rain has fallen in Georgia, the
State Department of Agriculture pre
dicts a “bumper” cotton crop this yefcr

Dallas wires: "Texas Panhandle

• ♦ •
NEW ORLEANS. May 15.—Hayward
K Clark: The weather map shows
cloudy over the entire belt. Some good
rains in Arkansas. Showers in North
Louisiana and East Tennessee. The
map shows no rain elsewhere, but de
tailed records at 10 //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 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-Democrat
ays; Like a bolt from the blue, the
bear 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, hulls ridiculed suon 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 l r 3.54
inches.”
• * •
The transfer of New York’s protective
stock 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
s’ew York July short has real cause
for concern, especially since the New
York contract market holds well below
Southern spot parity.

COTTON MRRKET IS
EXTREMELY DULL
Beneficial Rains Fail to Depress
Quotations for Futures—Trad
ers Wait for Developments.
NEW YORK, May IB—New tropa
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 aw'aiting 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 lower than
!he 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 snows 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 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 rather free
offerings from the ring and Wall Street,
but the market took the selling w r ell and
prices were firmly naintained around
the initial level.
Interest during the afternoon session
was plainly centered on now 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
urday 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
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 final quotations of Wed
nesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 15.—Liverpool
is holding around 6d for new crops and
awditing 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
suggest 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 w'eek
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
«'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.

With Depression of Many Other
Agricultural Industriasl.
By C. W. STORM.
NEW YORK, May 15.—Weakness, re
sulting from professional operations,
dominated the stock market at the
opening to-day, American Cotton Oil
sustaining the biggest decline with a loss
of 3 points. Canadian Pacific, which
had been off in London owing to conti
nental selling, followed its foreign lead
and declined over a point in the first
half hour. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was
an exception, advancing %.
Among the other issues which sold off
were Amalgamated Copper. %; United
States Steei common. % : Union Pacific,
%; Reading, %; Pennsylvania. %; Erie.
%; American Can, %. Missouri Pacific
and New York, New Haven and Hart
ford gained fractionally.
The curb was steady.
Trading in Americans in London was
narrow'.
The market was irregular during the
forenoon with fractional losses in all
the leading issues. Copper dropped %
to 74%. Steel was off % at 59%. Read
ing advanced % to 159%. Missouri

shaded.

strong, unchanged to %e better. There
was a great deal of talk of “fuke” ex
