GREAT PONY CONTEST
Four days remain in which contestant* can be nominated for The
Georgian and The American pony outfit r-ontest Several boy* and Kiris
are believed to be preparing to enter at the last hour poesiblt and with a
considerable number of votes pledged, believing there will be some an-
vantage in taking ihe leaders by surprise
This, though, is not likely to avail them much Probably t hoy be
lieve the leaders are napping but nothing could be further from the truth
Resides, late entrants are losing the value of vote coupons more than fif
teen days old

polled 40,620
Several other contestants have passed the 40,000 mark George FUm-
ser. 1n District 1. has 41,620. Miss Robert Harbour in District 2 48,055.

reports seem to have crystallized around

indicative of final production, should he
interpreted bearishly.

discount a good bureau report.
Hternberger, Sinn Sr Co.: It Is still a
weather market

PUTS COTTON UP
One Western Operator Covers
35,000 Bales on Narrow Mar
ket, Causing the Advance.
NEW YORK, May «7. Poor cables,
coupled with bearish weather map. led
to active selling at the opening «.f the
cotton market to-day and first prices
were l to 8 points lower than Monday’s
final Offerings were well absorbed ami
soon after the call the loss‘was made up.
During the forenoon the market was
firm and under persistent buying from
the large apot interests short- < overed
considerable short lines McFadden,
Riordan and Parrott led the buying
movement Riordan was credited with
purchasing about 12.000 to 16.000 bales
of October and December, which was
said to be for Wall Street The charac
ter of the buying chased shorts to cov
er Offerings were very light and scat
tered It is believed by many that
there is still ari existing short interest
in the market.
October and December displayed ex
traordinary firmness October advanced
8 points and December 9 over the ini
tial level Other positions followed the
advance moderately, advanoing 3 to 7
points.
The advance came in the face of ex
tremely bearish advices from all parts
of the belt, as well as from abroad
A cable said
“The market feels the Influence <>f Ton
itnental buying, spinners well stocked,
and notwithstanding a fair Manchester
business we expect a small spot mar
ket in Liverpool for the present. Think
market will be lower If crop accounts
continue favorable.
Weather developments overnight were
of the most favorable character No
rains fell of consequence. The map
promises very favorable weather over
night; fair and warmer in the western
and central States; cloudy and probably
showers In the Carollnas and East Ten
nessee warmer
During the afternoon session the mar
ket found good support from many con
servative sources offerings were ex
tremely light. One large Western op
erator was credited with covering about
00 bales on a narrow market, which
caused October and December to ad
vance to 11.20. while other positions
held relatively steady, prices aggregated
net gain of about 8 to 13 points from
ihe opening
The National Ginners’ Association of
Memphis in Us condition and acreage
report placed the condition of the crop
t 80.7 and gave acreage an increase of
3.2 per cent increase. The report was
construed aH bearish, but had practically
o effect upon the market
M'he market is an evening-up affair
over the triple holiday period and the
perilling government report to follow the
holidays.
At the (lose the market was steady
with prices at a net gain of 2 to 8 points
from the closing figures of Monday.

is predicted, based on favorable weather
conditions and reports which are com

also bought. However, they sold old

bearish sentiment passed over tlie rings

and. according to one lone bear, seven
cents as a possibility. All the while
the bull faction kept quiet and permit

seemed to develop, and students of the
market expressed the belief that near

DROUTH IN ILLINOIS ENDED.
CHICAGO, May 27.—B. W. Snow
wires from Vincennes. Ind.: “Generally
good rains fr6m St. Louis; clear across
Illinois and East. Light in spots, but
enough to end drouth talk for the pres
ent. Wheat In big producing sections
of Illinois promises unusually heavy rate
of yield and this rain practically makes
it. Crop is lighter in eastern counties,
but fully up to the average on the In
diana side of the Wabash River. South
of Terre Haute the crop is spotted with
the average hardly up to the usual
promise.
"Oats consistently poor all across Illi
nois; rather better on Indiana side, hut
distinctly a poor outlook. The rains
will help, but crop in Missouri, Illinois
and southwest Indiana will be a very
short one regardless of future weather
The damage suffered when oats were
germinating can not be repaid. Corn
planting practically done and conditions
favorable to a good start. Farmers are
not making any contracts for delivery
of new’ grain.
“Plenty of old corn everywhere, hut
oats stock reported light.”
