ITUim EXHIBIT THE TDBOBGM
Local Manufacturers To Be Allot- The
South and Liverpool Heavy
ted Booths at Permanent Db
play Friday.
Space in the permanent exhibit of
Atlanta-made goods, which will be
established in the new headquarters
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
building at Auburn avenue and Pryor
street, will be allotted Friday after
noon at 5 o'clock. On account of the
limited 8f>ace at the disposal of the
committee in charge of the allot
ment, it is expected, that a number of
local manufacturers will be present to
arrange for their exhibit.
Virtually every manufacturer of Im
portance in the city has consented to
add an exhibit to the permanent dis
play, and those w ho do not come in
now are expected to Join the move
ment later.
The decision to establish the exhibit
in the Chamber of Commerce build
ing was made Thursday afternoon by
a special committee headed by Brooks
Morgan, which has been considering
various locations for several weeks.
The committee favored the estab
lishment of the exhibit in the cham
ber s building from the beginning of
the movement, inasmuch as the cham
ber is the sponsor of the movement,
and several days ago the directors
were asked to name a price for a
lease on the upper floors of the build
ing.
In addition to the exhibit of their
goods, the building is being fitted up
with other features that are expected
to appeal to the manufacturers and
merchants who wi n join in the dis
play. A swimming pool, baths and a
gymnasium will be provided for the
manufacturers a. d members of the
chamber.
Doubt Report That
Dr, Jacobs Bought
Burns' Manuscripts
Members of the family of Dr. Jo
seph Jacobs are not inclined to be
lieve the report that he has purchased
the famous Glenriddell manuscripts of
Robert Burns for a sum exceeding
$25,000 bid several years ago by J.
Pierpont Morgan. The purchase of
^he manuscripts by the Atlantan is
Told of in London dispatches.
“I don’t think there is any truth
to the report.” Dr. Sinclair Jacobs,
son of Dr. Jacobs, said Friday morn
ing. “If the manuscripts had been
purchased we undoubtedly would
have been notified, and w r e have heard
nothing .>f it except what we have
read in the papers. Dr. Jacobs, so
far as I know, has not been near
London on his present trip to Europe.’’
According to the London dispatches,
Dr. Jacobs purchased the manuscripts
from a dealer in London, who recent
ly bought them from the Liverpool
Athenaeum. It is said that the deal
between Dr. Jacobs and the dealer
was pending at the time of the first
purchase of the manuscripts, and that
the London dealer was merely Dr. Ja
cobs’ agent in the transaction

NEW YORK. July 25.—At the start
to-day the cotton market was steady at
a net decline of 4 to 7 points from last
night's close. Near positions again
showed the greatest weakness, but they
were also the first to respond to later
covering and soon after the opening the
whole market rallied several points,
with the shorts nervous over the over-
■o’d condition of the market.
Liverpool was lower than due and
brought out scattered selling from the
ring. This, together with a perfect
weither map, snowing further rains in
Texas and lower temperatures generally,
with indications for more showers,
brought on more favorable apprehension
that the drouth would not continue.
The early firmness was not of long du
ration. July continued on the toboggan
and by noon had Increased its decline
11 points from the previous close. Au
gust, after advancing 12 points to 11.67,
fell back tw r o points under the previous
close.
New crop positions were liquidated
The early buying seemed to be profit-
taking purchases by shorts and hy mod
erate buying by a few strong spot in
terests. It seems now that the bull
market is about over Weather and
crop advices are excellent. Spots are
weakening for the first time in many
weeks and new crop cotton is begin
ning to arrive at various points In
Texas The recent heat and clear
weather was regarded as most propit
ious to the plant and hasten Its ma
turity.
After slumping to 11.73 in the late ses
sion for a net decline of 13 points from
the previous close. July was quickly
rushed back to the initial level and
over, through heavy buying by brokers
representing large spot Interests, based
on the bullish spinners’ takings for the
week shown In Hester's weekly state
ment. The buying was aggressive, re
sulting in considerable short covering
by those taking advantage of the low
level.
At the close the market was steady
with near positions net uncharged to 5
points lower, while new crops were 1 to
2 points higher than the final quota
tions of Thursday.
Following are 11 a. m. bids In New
York: July, 11.78; August, 11 64: Octo

HAYWARD A CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. July 25. -Official
records and private advices show a good
rainfall overnight In North Texas and
Oklahoma, and the map shows a fine
general rainfall in the Central and
Eastern States; cooler in North Texas.
Indications are for more rain in the
West, continued showery' weather in
the Central States and Alabama, clear
ing in the Atlantics.
Since the date of Habersham King’s
report, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia have had a fine rainfall and
the Western States are getting it now
Our market opened a few points lower
and held around 11.31 for October. It
is being realized that rains in the West
came too late to improve Bureau re
turns, which close to-day. The chances,
therefore, are that the August Bureau,
which will be published a week from
to-day. W’lll show several points loss
and this explains the absence of sell
ing pressure in the markets and a dis
position to buy on depressions.
Political news Is unfavorable. Ac
cording to London news a revolution
in China is again under way.

COTTON GOSSIP
PUBLIC ONCE MORE
Map showed some scattered rains in
Western belt this morning, which gave
rise to general selling hy commission
houses and the local crowd. The South
Is said to haw also sold Spot houses
were apparently leading buyers, but
most of their purchases seemed to be
in summer posi ions. Liverpool was
'aid to have bought August here After
Liverpool closed there was another
wave of selling and in the absence
of that buying power the market sagged
off again, but rallied later on buying
of some 5,000 hales new crops said to
come from spot people. This caused
•‘attered short covering. Reports as to
Texas rainfall are conflicting Should
general rains come it is believed that
the market will sell lower, though sum*
>uils contend this has been discounted,
that cotton is worth the present price,
ft is purely a weather market.—glider-

There w’ere various signs that the end
of the bull market has come. Spot
markets are weakening for the first
time in many weeks. For an Indefinite
period the spot price of cotton at Gal
veston has been 12 5-16 to 12%. while
New Orleans has been equally firm
around 12 7-16c. Wednesday both broke
to 12%. This is a had sign, as these
are two of the most important spot
markets In the South. In fact, Galves
ton right now has larger stocks of cot
ton than any other of the thirteen
counted spot centers of the South. The
break, so sensational in its extent of
July in New Orleans, is merely another
sign of the times More liquidation "f
a few’ thousand bales would not have
broken that market had there been any
confidence in the stability of the spot
markets.

Habersham King’s latest report says:
“The dividing line is the Mississippi
River. West of it the conditions are
more dangerously dry. East of the
river the crop is fairly safe, though
rains are beginning to he needed in

MODERN MILLER CROP REPORT
ST. LOUIS, July 25.—Weather this
week was again favorable for winter
wheat harvest, which Is well under
way In Northern sections of the winter
whet belt. While rains have had some
effect on conditions of grain in localities
where there was considerable moisture,
quality of wheat sent to market, nev-
ertheles, is uniformly gfod. Threshing
returns generally satisfactory both as
to quantity and quality.
While the movement of wheat to mar
ket is still free, there are indications in
some localities of a let-up in the sell
ing Farmers seem willing to part with
the first threshings and having thus re
lieved pressing needs, show a tendency
to hola back the remainder of their
wheat Some farmers are taking ad
vantage of the favorable soil coi
lo begin breaking ground lor fail wheat

Wool Market Active,
With Narrow Range
BOSTON, July 25.—Greater activity is
noted In the local wool market, sales
for the past week being estimated at
fully 1,500.000 pounds. Much sampling
has been done, but prices are no higner
hor is any immedtute advance likely.
Recent buying has been largely to cover
actual needs, as members have been
getting some business recently. Buying
of the Montana clip is progressing
slowly. Prices are practically un
changed. Marketing of the early-bought
wools is proving to be more profitable
than at one time seemed possible. Ap
parently this may he credited to the de
lay in the passage of the new tariff
bill.
Receipts of wool In pounds for the
week ended and Including Wednesday
were as follows:
1913. 1912.
Domestic 7,497,879 15.511.874
Foreign 30,521 862.875
Totals 7.528.409 16.374.749
Total receipts of 7.528.409 pounds, com
pared with 10.146.968 the preceding
week, of which 9,751,818 were domestic
wool?
Receipts in pounds from and includ
ing January 1, 1913, as compared with
the corresponding period in 1912, were
as follows:

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "It Is
the general belief of the wheat trade
that constant export buying will be
necessary to maintain the present level
of prices, until sufficient of the surplus
has been disposed of to make its in
fluence felt as a bullish factor.
“It is the gossip of the corn trade that
conditions in the corn market are the
reverse of those prevailing last winter
Then the crowd was all bearish and sell
ing short, while the Armour Grain Com
pany was bullish and took hold of the
market despite the unfavorable local
speculative position and made a good ad
vance. Armour Grain Company is un
derstood to be bearish and has been
selling corn short for several days, while
the local crowd is bullish and is buying
all the corn the Armour interests have.
“Oats specialists said last night that
95 per cent of the local traders were
bearish.”
• • *
Rartlett. Frazier A Co. say: “Wheat—
Northwestern conditions are favorable,
with generally clear weather and sea
sonable temperatures. Do not look for
any particular action in market to-day.
“Corn Map shows a few’ light scat- >
tered showers In Kansas and Nebraska.
We do not look for any break in prices.
"Oats—Market seems to he quieting
down, volume of trade being smaller,
there is no pressure in the way of
country offerings.
“Provisions Local packers seem to he
buying September lard, and foreigners
are also on that side of the market.”
B. W. Snow wires from Minot. N. D.:
“Went through the Central and North
west counties; they will yield decid
edly above early expectations I have
never seen finer weather conditions for
filling than now exist and heads are
heavy and the quality will he high Ef
fect of June drouth is apparently only
in short straw If the original stand
had been good In North Dakota It would
have reaped another big crop. Weather
continues perfect. In spite of a had
start these counties will get an average
yield, if not a little better ''
• • •
Houston. Fribble & Co.. Kansas C1tv.
say: "The Dally Droverr’ Telegram of
Kansas City publishes a report based on
the spring returns from every county
in Kansas making total w’heat crop of
the State 72.572.000 bushels, or a frac
tion more than 12 bushels per acre. Com
show’ed a general condition before re
cent rains of 39.5 per cent with 57 6 per
cent for the Eastern third. 72 5 for the
Central and 26.3 for the Western third
of the belt.”
