Buying of Old Crops by Spot

ferings General.
NEW YORK, July 12 —T'he cotton
market was quiet at the opening of the
-tton market to-day and first prices
were 1 to 5 points higher than Friday’s
ual. The demand from shorts who de
s:red to even up for the week-end. When
• s was supplied prices eased off a
points. T he Liverpool market was
( : sed and was responsible to some ex
tent for the quiet market here.
Spot houses again purchased summer
; sitions quite freely. One large spot
. ,ker started the market on an up
vard scale shortly after the call by
1 Iding aggressively for large blocks of
i.w crops, but bought little. The sell
jig was mainly attributed to Wall Street
and the uptown crowd.
The weather map was favorable,
showing rains over the greater part of
r e belt, with lower temperatures and
ntiment against the market.
Two of the largest local operators
have covered since Tuesday about 50,-
bales of short cotton, and now the
market has reached the point w’here
1: is practically in the hands of certain
b.g interests, who are trading this and
that way merely for small turns for
dping operations, pending further de
velopments in connection with the ulti
mate outcome of the bull deal in July-
* ;gust. These two options for the past
two weeks have‘governed new’ crop po
.< ’ions as well as operations. The out-
■ ■•me of the Clarke amendment is also
killing off business.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net gain of 1 to 5 points
from the final quotations of Friday
Warehouse stocks in New York to

HAYWARD & CLARK S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July 12.—Further
u »od and rather general rains occurred
iuring the past 48 hours in the eastern
df of the belt. Precipitation was
heaviest in Tennessee and North Ala
bama. Temperatures were lower in
North Texas.
European political news was a little
more cheerful, expressing the hope of
• urly peace, but financial views con
tinue pessimistic, owing to fear of
'wavy financial losses in connection
with the Balkan war.
Our market wgs inclined to ease at
t! e start on the favorable weather pros
pects, but open bidding for ~uly by the
i •ntrolling interests checked selling on
the belief that screws might be turned 1
■ n July. The bidding by these inter- 1
ests reflects the view that it is getting 1
o late tc bring cotton here to spoil
the July squeeze by tenders.
The Times-Democrat’s monthly report :
will appear Monday. It is expected to
be favorable except for a tendency to
give special prominence to the weevil
danger.
The market ruled steady during the
i a iy session around 11.45 for December. *

J. B. Turner, of Memphis, has the
following on the condition of the cot
ton crop for the week ending July 11:
"The week was a normal and hence a
favorable one for the season. Tempera
tures were quite high over a great part
of the belt, but toward the end were
materially moderated. Generally speak
ing, there was an abundance of moisture
in the soil, and hence the cultivation
was near perfect. The plant stood ihe
excess of temperatures quite well and
continued its growth and fruiting in a
satisfactory manner. There is no strik
ing change from the conditions of one
week ago and this of itself is a favora
ble item.
“Little or no rain fell in Texas and
Oklahoma, where already the supply of
moisture was abundant, while down the
Mississippi Valley there were many
showers and locally heavy rains, which
relieved an incipient drouth and set the
cotton to growing rapidly. Showers fell
also in the eastern States and were of
benefit. As a whole, more rain in Ala
bama and States eastward would be de
sirable, though not necessary at this
time.
“In Eastern Texas, Louisiana and
Mississippi, weevils are more numerous
than in several years, and their ap
pearance has aroused the planters’
alarm. As yet their depredations have
been quite limited.”
• ♦ •
The Times-Democrat monthly crop re
port is expected Monday. We think it
will be favorable except for giving the
boll weevil danger the usual prominence.
♦ * *
Official Texas records show an aver
age for the State of 98 degrees; three
stations show 100; nine stations 102; one
station 104; and one station 106. The
maximum average for Oklahoma is 102.
* • •
Galveston will get a new bale to-day
from Patricio. Texas, the same date as 1
last year. New’ bale here from San
Benito, consigned to John M. Parker &
Co., will be sold at auction to-day.
« ♦ ♦
The Government advises Corpus
Christi, Texas: “Small craft warning.
Disturbance over Southern New Mexico

ably Sunday ’

The first new bale was sold here at

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “The
wheat bears have the best of it. Hedg
ing business is coming into the market,
making it safer for the short seller than
at any time within a year. Sentiment
has become excessively bearish, and it
would not be surprising to a majority
to see lower prices, although the best
traders are looking for irregular de
clines.
"Corn specialists attributed the break
of 1% on September yesterday, making
a drop of almost 4 cents from the re
cent high point to unloading by longs.
It is noticeable that sharp traders, who
were long, have unloaded their pur
chases on bids. Traders said they
would not be surprised to see a rally
some day, but believe corn should be
sold on all bulges.
"September oats dropped below 40
cents yesterday with stop orders selling
sufficient to carry prices to 39%. Those
who have watched the market closely
for two weeks say there has been a
steady unloading by longs and a de
crease in the outside buying. The liq
uidation. however, is not regarded as
over."
• • *
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. says:
“Wheat— Offerings from the country are
somewhat lighter, but local sentiment
is bearish and new speculative buying
from the outside does not come in.
“Corn —The rains this morning are
likely to cause further selling, although
liquidation was on a liberal scale yes
terday. Cash prices do not show as
much* weakness as the future, owing to
moderate receipts and scarcity of offer
ings from first hands
“Oats— There is nothing new in the
situation, except that receipts are some
what smaller ami cash inquiry a shade
better. Sentiment is very bearish, and,
as in the other grains, outside buying is
extremely limited.
“Provisions Hogs under estimates
with hog prices at yards steady to 5c
higher."

NEW YORK, July 12 —A higher range
of prices was established at the open

shaded.
There was no change in speculative

fruitless, the professionals turned bull

regular and narrow fluctuations may be j
seen to-day.”
The trainmen and conductors’ com- |
mittee of 1,000 will meet to-day to
ratify the Eastern railway vote.
Trade reports show that conserva
tism in business circles is still mani
fest, owing chiefly to the tariff legisla
tion.
I Twelve industrials declined .11; 20 I
active rails declined .15.
Although the market continues dull,
with few changes in prices, there are
many bullish factors in the situation
That are being ignored, which later in ’
the season will have a beneficial effect

; tively a< cumulated around this level will j
: in a reasonable time show satisfactory k

Hearst’s Sunday American Will
Announce Best Slogan—Many
Submitted Saturday.
Judges Saturday took charge of all
the “500,000 club" slogans submitted
in the $25 prize contest. They are
John W. Grant, Wilmer L. Moore and
Walter C. Taylor. At The Geor
gian office they began a careful study ,
of the hundred* of suggestions sub- 1
mitted.
Hearst's Sunday American will an
nounce the winner.
The last day of the contest brought
in the largest number of submissions
of any other day. Many are beauti- ’
ful designs by well-known artists. <
Others are striking for their literary
merit. All bespeak the wonderful At- 1
lanta spirit—save. one.
That came in anonymously from a ,
cynical humorist. He went to the <
trouble of-drawing a large. picture
burlesquing Atlanta from the City ,
Hall to the last garbage dump beyond
“Pittsburg."
The Cynic’s Slogan.
In one corner was a large building ~
I marked “Hot Air Factory." Next to
I it was the City Hall, called “The
House of Mystery," and on top of the •'
building sat a doubtful bird mark- ,
ed “Graft." The bottom of the pic- .’.
time showed three stragglers passing
out of a gate with the remark: ,
“Griffin ain't sc, bad after all." /
It's a cinch this design won t get
the prize.
One of the best of the last sug- ,
gestions was a map of Georgia with
a star marking Atlanta, its capital. -,
The slogan, offered by George 1.. Tay- u
lor. No. 15J Courtland street, is:
“Hitch your wagon to the star Half
million by 1920.” J
Here are many scintillating with h
enthusiasm: "

Macon Postmaster Says He Will
Be Heard From Before
He Quits.
MACON, July 12.—1 tis very likely
that a lively incident will develop out
of the action of the Postoffice Depart
ment in asking for the resignation of
Harry Stilwell Edwards, Macon post
master. who is a Republican ap
pointee. It is thought that Mr. Ed
wards will refuse to resign, as the
San Francisco postmaster has done,
making it necessary for the depart
ment to summarily remove him.
“I was recently advised that my
resignation was wanted.” stated Mr.
Edwards to-day, "and I have had the
matter under consideration with
friends. Ido not care to make a pub
lic statement just at present, but rest
assured that I will be heard from.”
Custis Nottingham, whom Senator
Bacon has recommended for the place,
is the Senator’s local agent in Ma
con. looking after all of the - Bacon
property interests here. He was for
merly Recorder of the city, and in
the pre-con vention campaign last year
he was an active Underwood support
er. He also has always supported Joe
Brown.
W. T. MorgatL whom Representative
Bartlett desires to be postmaster, is
a clos* fi i< nd of the Congressman
and in well known for his Hoke Smith
sentiments.

whose resignation has been called for
by the Postoffice Department.
The nomination of Mr. Nottingham
will be in accord with the wishes of
Senator Bacon. Representative Bart
