COUNTS MOST E Contest Manager Gives Tip to Hustling Boys and Girls. Just Five More Days, "Concentrate on the Sunday Amerl. , m.” 1s the advice the contest man ager gives the boys and girls who are striving for the Georgian and Amerl. can ponies. ■The boys and girls should do this for the simple reason that, for the some amount of money, Sunday sub scriptions count much faster in the vote totals—up to Tuesday night. 1 would suggest that the contest ants talk Sunday paper to their friends and the other ‘prospects' they approach. If a determined effort suc ceeds In landing such a subscription, then they should try to get a dally subscription added to the Sunday. If the Suncay paper appeal seems lj make no Impression, turn to the dally paper. My advice 1s disinterested, for we are as glad to get subscriptions to the Georgian as to the Sunday Ameri can. But Just now, a year's subscrip tion to the Sunday paper costs hut $2, and counts 2,000 votes for the contestant. There’s no other way to get 2.000 votes for $2, and. with five working days only remaining In the contest, every vote tells." The contest manager Intended to run the vote standings every day up to the close of the contest, but it was found Impossible to keep up with the task, so many are the “Red Letter Ballots" pouring In. , The standings, as far as corrected, however, will be published Sunday.

There has never been a more inter esting photoplay seen here, and the fact that the attendance during the last half of the week has been four times as groat as the opening, is evidence of the fact that the exhibition has won ap proval.

Details of Exhibit Lease. Details of the lease on the four top stories of the Chamber of Commerce Building, at North Pryor street and Auburn avenue, by the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association for a permanent exhibit of Atlanta-made goods were announced Saturday. The total number of square feet ; n the four floors, 20,000, has been di vided into units known as “spaces” 10 feet square, or 100 square feet, and the price per month is $8 per “space,” or $1,600. The yearly rental will, ac cordingly, be $19,200. Some of the manufacturers will take one space and some several, and charts are be ing drawn to show the exact allot ment. Floor exhibits will be arranged with regard to their relation to each other —that is, the allied products, like ma chinery and wagons, will be on one floor, and various edibles on another Elevators will be installed to serve the horde of visiting buyers and to haul the exhibits up and down. The advantage to the local mer chants and manufacturers, as one of the committee pointed out, will he that the Chamber of Commerce Building will be a market place or clearing house for all prospective buyers of goods. Heretofore there has been no central location where people might go to see in Atlanta. what is made Hester's Weekly Cotton Statistics Secretary Heater’s weekly New Or leans Cotton Exchange statement of the movement of cotton, issued before the close of business Friday, shows an in crease in the movement into sight com pared with the seven days ending this date last year ln round numbers 56, an increase over the same days year before last of 16,000, and a decrease under the same time in 1910 of 36,000.

NEW YORK, July 26.—A hearteh re port on Oklahoma and Texaa from F. M Cordlll and some rains ln the Western belt and prospects for more, the cotton market opened active to- lay and first prices were at a net decline of 2 to 5 points from Friday’s close, with the exception of July, which opened 2 points higher. Later the market steadied a lit tle through scattered covering This class of buying, however, soon ex hausted on further reports of rains in Texas and private crop advices to the effect that the crops were in excel lent condition. In addition to active selling by the lo cal crowd, there was selling by brokers who usually represent the larger spot houses. Some of those who bought yes terday bought on the decline but of limited character. In many respects the market was a repetition of that of Thursday. July was weak but not so extremely soft as August and new crop positions. The break ln August was said to be due to a renewal or liquida tion by timid longs, who did not like the excellent weather and new crop advices. There was a further weakness ln spots which also encouraged the bear raid. At the close the market was steady with prices at a net decline of 7 to 12 points from the final quotations of Fri day.

Season is two weeks late, the plant small, but healthy and strong, fruiting nicely; fields are well cultivated and clean; boll weevils are numerous ln Mississippi. Georgia condition shows considerable Improvement over a month ago, when It was 76.4 per cent Pick ing will begin about September 1st. Mis sissippi condition has about held Its own since last month, when it was 80 per cent. Dry, hot weather has pre vented the Alabama crop from mak ing any Improvement for the month. Picking will begin about’the middle of August. • • • Habersham King Issued an unfavor able report on Texas and Oklahoma yes terday. However. F. M. Cordlll made public a circular Just the opposite, say ing the crops ln Texas and Oklahoma were nearly perfect, but rain is needed to some extent • • • It Is reported that a seat on the Cot ton Exchange has been sold recently for $12,000. This Is a decline of $2,500 from the last previous sale. Early ln the year a sale was reported for $19,000 The decline is due to the plan to im pose a tax on future contracts. • • 0 Sheffield, Ala , wired: “We have had three days of showers and cloudy all of the time. This Is the best we could have hoped for. Conditions are splen did.” • • « NEW ORLEANS, July 26.—Hayward A Clark: “The weather man shows cloudy over nearly the entire belt. Some fine rains ln Northwest Texas. North Texas, Arkansas. Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama Light showers over the •ntics, cooler ln the West. Indi cations are for partly cloudy to cloudy, with more rain over Sunday, particu larly in the Western half of the belt, clearing in the Atlantlcs.” • • • Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma are generally clear.” • * • The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat says: "Spinners’ takings for the week were larger than expected and August was befriended. For these reasons, yes terday’s cotton market behaved very nicely ln the presence of rather general rains, except ln West Texas and West Oklahoma, where cloudy weather was reported. “In the past very hot weather ln the West, when not continued too long without rain, has left no serious Im print on the size of the crop. Rain9 are needed in the West now-, and the fact that the forecaster persistently promises fair weather over that section of the belt keeps some of the talent on the anxious seat. But should good rains come to the West in the near future, the big cron man would be in position to exploit big crop views in a telling way. “As a matter of fact, August is now so far below a spot parity that It seems well able to take care of itself. Yes terday notices of intention to deliver 500 on August were Issued In NeW Orleans. This cotton was taken up by July longs, and represents the portion left after the July tenders were culled. At the moment, the local talent does not know whether to expect further tenders or an attempt to squeeze Aug ust shorts. It is likely that the August traders in the main are straddlers, and that they are not operating with a view of handling large lines of the actual this month.” Following is the statistical position of cotton on Friday, July 25, as made up by The New York Financial Chronicle: | This Last j Last | Week. | Week. | Year.
