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 space 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 who do not come m
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 oy Brooks
Morgan, which has been considering
various locations for several week®.
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, tlie building is being fitted up
with other features that are expected
to appeal to the manufacturers and
merchants who wl 11 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
the manuscripts by the Atlantan is
Told of in Dondon dispatches.
“I don’t think there is any truth
to the report.” Dr. Sinclair Jacobs,
son of Dr. Jacobs, said Friday morn
ing. “Tf the manuscripts had been
purchased we undoubtedly would
have been notified, and w r e have heard
nothing of it except w’hat w r e have
read in the papers. Dr. Jacobs, so
far as 1 know, has not been near
Dondon on his present trip to Europe.”
According to the Dondon dispatches.
Dr. Jacobs purchased the manuscripts
from a dealer in Dondon. 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 firs’
purchase of the manuscripts, and that
the Dondon 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-
so’d condition of the market.
Diverpool was lower than due and
brought out scattered selling from the
ring This, together with a perfect
weather map, showing 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 two points under the previous
close.
New crop positions were liquidated
The early buying seemed to be profit-
taking purchases by shorts and by 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 rtiany
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 unchanged to 5
points low’er, w’hile new’ crops were 1 to
2 points higher than the final quota
tions of Thursday.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

was due 3 points lower on January and
1 to 1% points lower on other positions,

At the close the market was quiet

of 4@6% points from the final quota

Map showed some scattered rains In j
Western belt this morning, which gave 1
rise to general selling by commission j
houses and the local crowd. The South I
Is said to have also Hold. Spot houses I
were apparently leading buyers, but |
most of their purchases seemed to be ,
in summer positions. Diverpool was
<aid to have bought August here After
Liverpool dosed there was another
wave of selling and in the absence
of that buying power the market sagged
off again, hut rallied later on buying
of some 5,000 bales new crops said to
come from spot people. This caused
eattered short covering Reports as to
Texas rainfall are conflicting Should
general rains come it is believed that
1 lie market will sell lower, though some
•ails contend this haw been discounted,
hat cotton is worth the present price.

There were 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 bad 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 of
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 be needed in
Mississippi, Alabama and more moisture
needed In Georgia to render it quite
safe. I think the week’s developments
have been unfavorable to 50 per cent of
the belt.”

The Chicago Inter O^ean 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 anil 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 "

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-
t
returns generally satiefjictory tx>th as
to quantity and quality.
While tire movement of wheat to mar
ket is still free, there are indications in
sorfte localities of a let-up in the sell
ing. Farmers seem willing to part with
he first threshings and having thus re.
lieved pressing needs, show a tendency
to hold back the remainder of their
wheat Rome farmers are taking ad
vantage of the favorable soil conditions
to begin breaking giound for fall wheat
seeding.
Spinners Continue
To Absorb Heavily
According to Secretary Hester, of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, the vis
ible supply of American cotton during
the past week showed a decrease of
156.036 bales, as compared with a de
crease of 139,543 bales for the cor
responding week last year, against a de
crease of 89,798 for the same week the
year before Other kinds decreased 15.-
000 bales, against a decrease fa»f 41.000
bales for the same week last year and
a decrease of 22.000 bales the year be
fore.
The total visible supply of American
cotton during the wee.k showed a de
crease of 171,036 hales, compared with
a decrease of bales for the same week
last year, against a. decrease of bales
for the corresponding week in 1911.
World's vlslhte supply:
CHICAGO, July 25.—According to re
ports from exporters at Chicago and the
seaboard the "edge is off” the export
wheat business at the moment A few
loads were sold to go abroad and 235,000
bushels were sold here mainly for for
eign shipment. Prices were % to l%c
l ™ er . The feeling was anything
but bullish because of the lull in the
cash trade as well as the heavy receipts
at primary markets World's shipments
for Monday next will be only 7 500 000
bushels, or 2.800.000 bushels smaller
than the corresponding period last year.
There will be a decrease in the amount
on ocean passage, but an increase in
the American visible supply is looked
for.

lav in the passage of the new tariff
bill.
