Five Bunched Closely Together at Lead
W ith Grand Total of 126,650 Votes.
Lithonia and Meansville Rivals.
NEW WOOL CLIP IS
NOT SELLING ILL
Conditions Reversed From Those
of a Year Ago—Western
Markets Are Improving.
I nominate, ns a candidate in The Hearst's Sunday Ameri
can and Atlanta Georgian Pony Outfit Contest:

Nominated by
Address
GOOD FOR 1,000 VOTES.
Only One Nomination Blank Can be Voted for Any Contestant.
The race among the city carrier)* for a Georgian and American ponv
finds five boys bunched closely at the lead Ross Greer, with 33,260
N otes, Mose Krodkin, 32,420; Harold Hamby, 21,196; < >. B. Bigger. 20,576;
Raymond Wilkinson. 19,200.
Them* five contestants alone have polled 126.650 votes. Fully expe
rienced in getting subscriptions rl nd in collections, wide awake and en
ergetic, this contest is in deadly earnest,-anil the totals are likely to he
increased greatly. There are some boys farther down the list, too, who
may come to the front in abort order.
Lithonia and Meansville are the two towns fighting hard in the
Georgia State contest. Andrew R. Trimble, of Lithonia, has 13,736
votes, and M. Means, of Meansville. 11.190. It would take little to re
verse these two positions
Names and standings of contestants in the various districts follow :
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 that pre
vailing a year ago. No further sacrl-
j flee sales of old wools are reported. Pew
j leading houses have any volume of wool
to offer. Conditions In the West are
improving from the healers' standpoint,
as growers have moderated to some ex-
lenl 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 at 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 4,073,933

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “The dilemma of the cotton mar
ket was made clear yesterday. The
trade buys contracts as hedges against
future need, but refuses to sell The
public is not in the market at all Tl*e
talent, as a ruler has been bearish all
spring and has sold whenever a profes
sional speculator or a merchant would
buy All along speculative shorts in
numbers have counted on favorable
weatheft* and favorable crop reports to
depress the market and give them op
portunity 16 cover at a profit All this
was. of course, based on their belief in
a balanced market. Belligerent bears
never for a moment imagined that tlie
public would drop out or that the trade
would turn into a sponge.
“Recently the weather became ex
tremely favorable and the character of
the crop reports reflected much im
provement. But because the long in
terest in the main is held by the trade
and is not for sale, nobody stood ready
to feed contracts to the market and ex
pectant shorts began to discover that to
get under cover they would have to hid
the market up to a point where scalp
ers would supply* them.
“On Monday* shorts were made ner
vous by the drift of the market. On
Tuesday they were worried On Wed
nesday they were apprehensive and on
Thursday they were excited. Under the
circumstances high price people experi
enced no difficulty in obtaining a hear
ing for bullish data and when they
talked of the possibility of too much
rain to follow in the wake of too much
drouth floor traders gathered round the
weather boards and talked in whispers."
* * *
Too much rain.
4 * * *
While there is some talk of reaction,
the bears seem afraid to put out any
lines just yet.
• * *
It was very evident during the late
trading yesterday that there was still
a large short interest in the market.
* * *
McFadden brokers continue to buy
and it is said they are bullish on the
spot situation.
* « *
Dallas wires: "Texas—Clear and cool.
Oklahoma—Generally clear and cool."

NEW ORLEANS. May 23.—Hayward

tions are for fair and warmer in the

The president of the Illinois Central

Disappointing Cables and Bear
News From the Weather Man
Encourage Selling.
NEW YORK. May 23. on overnight
buying orders the cotton market opened
firm to-day. May 6 points higher, with
other positions showing irregularity,
being 1 off to 2 points up from last
night's close.
The appearance of clearing weather in
the Western belt with a probability that
it would extend to the rest of the belt
by to-morrow caused considerable un
loading after the call. Much of this, was
absorbed by overnight buying orders.
Commission houses, the ring crowd
ami Wall Street, also a few brokers with
spot nouse connections sold heavily.
The selling was said to be profit-taking.
May dropped back to last night's close,
while other positions declined some 4 to
8 points under the previous close. The
buying was light and scattered.
During ttie forenoon a renewal of
buying predominated, which checked the
selling pressure to a considerable ex
tent, resulting in prices recovering the
initial decline. May option, however,
was not in demand and held steady
around the early low point. The ad
vance was attributed chiefly to the con
tinued rains throughout the cotton
States. Rains were heavy throughout
tiie Slate last night and reports of
>ieuv\ rainfall were received during the
entire day. There was fear among the
ucals of too much rain, which stimu
lated a general covering wave.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS. May 23. Excepting
that it is too cool, a condition, however,
which will nor 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 arc indicated for the Eastern
States while fair weather will prevail
over tlie 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; spot
sales only 5.000 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,
but support appeared on depressions and
held October to 11.30.
Forwardings from Liverpool this week
are larger than expected, probably due
io the delay in shipments on accont of
the recent holidays.

Reports From Throughput State
Show Only 52 Per Cent of Cot
ton Is Above Ground Yet.
J. J. Conner, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, said Friday the rains
of this week would prove a vvonderfp!
benefit to the cotton that has not yet
'ome 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 miracles in
gardens.” said he. But s</ 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 get9 up, it
doesn’t need much rain; rain brings
grass.”
Reports to the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture from 65 counties
arp 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. Demonstrators declare a
greater number of farmers will follow
their oat crops witn sowings of peas
and other short crops, showing a
greater tendency toward diversifica
tion.

MODERN MILLER CROP OUTLOOK.
ST. LOUIS. May 23.—This is the first
week since winter wheat was planted
that reports regarding the condition of
the crop are conflicting. There is hardly
any doubt that the .crop^ have gone
backward, yet it appears that the de
terioration is confined to small areas
ami is not of a serious nature. In many
localities the crop is losing color, anil
is uneven and stand not up to the ear
lier promise, but timely rains would be
much benefit.
In the southwestern part of the belt
lack of rain is felt most, and there are
reports of damage by chinch bugs. It
will take only one more good rain in
the near future and a few showers later
on to bring the crop to maturity. Most
of the w*heat has headed In a fairl>
satisfactory way, but the rapid growth
noted for some time past has not been
maintained, as the colder and dry
weather has retarded growth and in
some localities the straw is short. The
harvest which the conditions up to a
week ago indicated would be exception
ally early will be delayed to some extent,
yet should be no later than in a normal
sense.
IOWA GRAIN OUTLOOK GOOD.
CHICAGO. May 23.—Des Moines says;
“We can not realize how much crops
have suffered in other localities and
States, but so far as Iowa is concerned
we feel that the oats acreage is about
as large as last year, and Ft is stated
that the soil is in best of condition and
growth of small grain is verv remarka
ble for this time of the year Should
we have anything like reasonable and
pleasant weather, farmers will finish
oorn planting ver> rapidly, and then
you can look for movement of corn and
oats that will surprise you. 1 '

WHEAT LEADERS BULLISHLY
INCLINED ON CROP SCORE
CHICAGO, May 23.—The Inter-Ocean
says:
“With a crop scare on wheat, traders
are looking for active markets and good
fluctuations. There were more hulls to he
found and conservative people are in
clined to favor the buying side on all
good breaks.
“If was the belief of the trade last
night that with any Increase in outside*
buying and a continuation of unfavorable
crop reports, higher prices are likely
Corn is looked upon as a weather prop
osition. A number of local traders who
are bullish were heavily long last night.
The trade is not looking for much of a
decline, but at the same time they ad
vise caution in making purchases on
bulges.
“Sentiment In oats is more favorable
to the buying side, and there is a dis
position to take hold on every dip in
prices. It was the gossip after the
(lose that May corn shorts would do
well to coa er as soon as possible “
