14 THE ATLANTA CEOfifUAX ANT) XFWS. FRIDAY. MAY 2:5. 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: Name Address 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 Foreign 932.386 1.104.776 Totals 3,894,409 6,178.708 Total receipt* of 3.894.40!* pounds com pared with 2.531,270 pounds for tire pre ceding week, of which 1.698.155 pounds Were domestic wools.

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.

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.

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. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

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.

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 ' ALL GRAINS NEED RAIN CHICAGO.
