Lithonia and Meansville Rivals. Conditions Reversed From Those of a Year Ago—Western Markets Are Improving. BOSTON, May 23.—Wool business lo cally is irregular The leading feature of the past week has been the opening and sale of some new clip territory wools. These wools are selling very slowly, the present condition being al most a complete reversal of ihat pre vailing a year ago No further sacri fice sales of old wools are reported. Few leading houses have any volume of wool to offer. Conditions in the West are Improving from the dealers' standpoint, as growers have moderated to some ex- lent their demands Buyers also have changed their attitude a little The en deavor to market the new clip wools, however, is so difficult as to prevent free buying in the West ai the level of prices recently quoted. Receipts of wool In pounds for the week ended and including Wednesday were as follows; 1913 1912 Domestic 2,962 024 Foreign *93 2.’ 385 McFi Pick Bros, Wilson tir'd Shdar-on sold.

I ATLANTA MARKETS I J. J. Conner, State Commissioner of Agriculture, said Friday the tains of this week would prove a wonderful benefit to the cotton 9 that has not yet Tome up. Reports showed, he said, that only 52 per cent of the crop was up. The crop is late on an average of thirteen days throughout the State. “The showers of last night and ear lier in the week will work mirfieles in gardens," said he. "But so far as cot ton is concerned, it would be better if the rains would stop altogether now — that is, if the fall we have had in Atlanta has been general. “After the cotton crop gets up, it doesn't need much rain, rain brings glass." Reports to the Georgia State Col lege of Agriculture from 65 counties are favorable. Only a few counties are still suffering from the drouth. Spring oats are turning out poorly, but fall oats are fine. All crops are well cultivated. The dry weather has given farmers plenty of time.

N1: w YORK, Maj 88.—The cotton seed oil market was firm on covering j of shorts to-day. buying believed to be for refiners and local bull support. The | upturn brought nut some scattered prof it-taking. outside speculative demand disappointing and consuming interests display little interest at present. There was some selling of December against purchases of new crude. HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER, j NEW ORLEANS, May 23. Excepting! that it is too cool, a condition, however, | which will not last more than a day or! two weather developments overnight were very favorable. A rain formation is directly over the Atlantics and general rains and cooler weather are indicated for the Eastern States, while fair weather will prevail over the Western half with rising tem peratures. The press gives grave political news. London reports a serious battle between Greeks and Bulgarians and the peace conference delayed. Liverpool was disappointing and weakened further in the last hour; spoi sales only 6.000 at 6 points advance. Po litical developments with consols ' 4 low er must have caused an unfavorable impression. Trading here was quieter this morning. Prices eased repeatedly, hut support appeared on depressions arid held October to 11.30.
