COTTON MARKET
Mary H. Bramlett Pushes Search
for Robber Who Killed Cafe
Owner in San Francisco.
A bill, which if pased by the Legis
lature, will pave the way for the ul
timate extension of the Western and
Atlanta Railroad, the State’s property,
to the sea, was introduced in the
House Thursday morning by Repre
sentatives Cooper and Crowley, of
Ware county.
Ostensibly the bill is to give the
Atlantic, Waycross and Northern
Railroad entrance into Atlanta by
granting it authority to condemn and
take possession of the Fort Valley
branch of the Southern Railway and
certain property of the Georgia Ter
minal company, and to amend its
charter so as to enable the road to
connect with the Atlantic Ocean at
St. Mary’s.
The important clause in the bill
appears in the next to the last sec
tion, which stales that the State, at
the pleasure of the General Assem
bly and at a compensation to be fixed
by arbitration, may take over all
property acquired by the Atlantic,
Waycross and Northern by such con
demnatory proceedings.
Gives Direct Connection,
By taking over the property of the
Georgia Terminal company in At
lanta, the A. W. and N. would have
direct connection with the W. and A
tracks; and the extension of the A.
W. and N. from Fort Valley to St.
Mary’s on the sea, would give the
A. W. and N., and eventually the W.
and A., If the State exercises its right
to take over the property, a straight
line from Atlanta to the sea.
The bill declares that the Atlantic,
Waycross and Northern shall en
deavor to lease or purchase that por
tion of the Southern Railway begin
ning at Fort Valley and running
through the counties of Houston,
Crawford, Upson, Monroe, Pike.
Spalding, Fayette, Clayton and Ful
ton, to the junction of the former
Atlanta and Florida Railway and the
former East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railway.
Should the Southern refuse to sell
or lease, the A. W. and N. shall file a
condemnatory petition with the clerk
of the Superior Court, of Fulton
county. The A. W. and N. shall name
an arbtitrator, and shall notify the
Southern. If the latter road fails
or refuses to name its arbitrator, he
shall be chosen by the Judge of the
Superior Court. The two arbitrators
thus chosen shall select a third, and
compensation shall be fixed. The
Southern can appeal from the amount
of compensation only.
Must Get Court Permit.
The bill provides that the A. W. and
N. shall obtain permission from the
United States Court before starting
condemnation proceedings against the
Georgia Terminal company, w'hich is
now in the hands of receivers.
Other bills introduced in the House
Thursday follow:
By Adams of Pike and Anderson
of Murray—A bill to increase fees of
jurors in justice courts from $1.25 to
$2.50.
By Berry of Whitfield—A bill to
regulate expenditures of funds by
counties for road purposes.
By Swift and Wohlw’ender of Mus
cogee—A bill to provide for a com
mission form of government for Co
lumbus.
By Fulton and DeKalb County Del
egations—A bill to carry into effect in
the city of Atlanta, the constitutional
amendment abolishing justice courts
and establishing municipal courts.
Determined to find the slayer of
her brother, Mary H. Bramlett. of
No. 299 Edgewood avenue, sister of
D. Q. Bramlett, who was killed by a
robber in San Francisco on June 16,
has offered a rew r ard of $200 for the
apprehension of the guilty man. The
body of Mr. Bramlett was brought to
Atlanta about ten days ago for inter
ment.
Mr. Bramlett was in the restaurant
business here until about six years
ago, when he moved to San Francisco.
At the time of his death he was pro
prietor of a restaurant on Market
street.
The death of Mr. Bramlett was
tragic. According to the dispatches
he had just closed his store at mid
night and was in the act of counting
his earnings for the day, when a
stranger entered and demanded the
contents of the cash drawer. Caught
unawares and helpless before the re
volver which the robber thrust in
his face, Mr. Bramlett complied.
As the robber turned to go, how
ever, Bramlett grabbed an awning
crank and followed. Just as he
raised it the robber turned and fired
twice, both bullets taking effect in the
head.
The police failed to locate the rob
ber and every clew has been run down
without avail. Miss Bramlett, who
has lived in Atlanta about fifteen
years, is determined, however, that
no stone shall be left unturned to
apprehend the guilty person.
The $200 reward will be forwarded
to the authorities in San Francisco
immediately upon the apprehension of
the robber.
NEW YORK, July 31.—So many crop
and weather reports were at hand that
cotton trade was more or less confused
this morning and it was some time after
the market opened before local opinion
could adjust itself to the conflicting re
ports. First prices were unchanged to
6 points higher than last night’s close.
The strength of the market was at
tributed chiefly to high cables, due to
covering by shorts before the Bureau
report and dry weather in Texas.
The weather map, however, reflected
a bearish feeling generally, when pri
vate reports of Texas rains encouraged
an active selling movement, resulting in
prices declining some 1 to 6 points from
the initial level. Later a sudden buy
ing wave, led by local shorts and the
larger spot houses, gave the market a
steady tone.
July was a strong feature. It sold as
high as 12c before noon, aggregating a
net gain of 21 points from the previous
close. Despite the favorable crop and
weather news, local traders who were
short of the market thought it best to
reduce their commitments in anticipa
tion of the Government condition re
port and Wall Street operators started
in to buying active new crop positions,
chiefly of October and December.
The trade was given a shock when
a certain broker, representing the
largest spot houses here, said he ex
pected to see October go to 11.50 before
to-morrow night. It is not likely, how
ever, that the market will do more than
oscillate within a narrow range during
the remainder of the week, owing to the
Government report, due Friday, which
will be one of the most important of the
season. It is generally expected that on
the average it will show a slight im
provement over the last one. Texas
may not make a good showing, but
Georgia should be better and the belt
in general has been improving during
the past four weeks. The Journal of
Commerce gave the percentage condi
tion of the crop as of July 23 at 81,
showing two-tenths of 1 point increase
for the previous month. Texas, Okla
homa and Louisiana were the only
States that showed losses.

York: July 12.00, August 11.72, Octo

Atlanta Markets
Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma
Only States to Show Losses.
Increase Is .2.
The New York Journal of Commerce’s
percentage condition of cotton, as com
piled from 1,972 replies of special cor
respondents, bearing on average date of
July 25, was 81, as compared with 80.9 a
month ago, 77.7 a year ago, and 86.9 in
1911. The change for the month was
only .2 of a point for the better. The
ten-year average is 79.4.
Gains were general in nearly all
States, Louisiana, Texas and < >klahoma
being the only ones to show losses.
Louisiana was infested with boll weevils,
while the drouth in Texas and Oklahoma
caused considerable apprehension, which
was reflected in lower estimates of per
centage.
Until the drouth became somewhat
persistent in Texas and Oklahoma, the
prospects for a decided improvement
throughout the belt were very promis
ing. Texas is very spotted, but there
were enough dry spots badly needing
rain to pull down the average. Showers
in the near future would, however,
counteract the damage. The plant is
small, but almost universally strong,
healthy and well fruited. Fields are
clean and well cultivated. Though the
crop is still two weeks late, in many
sections cotton is generally growing fast.
With the exception of Louisiana, where
boll weevils have appeared in large num
bers, the crop is very free from insects.

NEW YORK, July 31.—Few important
changes were noted at the opening of
the stock market to-day. and in the
early trading business was extremely
quiet. Transactions were almost wholly
of a professional character. There was
no response to the slightly better tone
in London.
An idea prevailed on the exchange
that enough liquidation and realizing
had occurred in the past few days to
make the market more sensitive to bear
ish influences.
Illinois Central was off %, but the
bearish attack was not so strong as yes
terday after the cut in dividend was
announced.
Other price changes were narrow and
the majority of issues showed only
fractional changes, equally divided be
tween gains and losses Illinois Central
was the only weak feature of American
shares in London. Trading on the curb
was steady.

GRAIN MARKET
CHICAGO, July 31.—Month-end buy
ing by belated shorts in July corn
brought about an advance of %c In that
future at the opening to-day. The more
distant futures, however, showed net
declines of %c to %c in the same space
of time. The predicted rains came in
many sections of the corn belt, good
downpours being reported in Missouri
and Southern Illinois. Other corn-pro
ducing sections also were reported as
visited by rain. Argentine shipments
of corn were not as large as looked for
at 5,100,000 bushels, but this amount
proved considerably In excess of both a
week ago and a year ago. The /narket
at Liverpool showed little life at un
changed prices.
Conditions surrounding the wheat
market at the opening were bearish and
options sold lower in consequence. Llv
erpool wheat was %d lower because
of the w’eaker American cables of yes
terday, coupled with fine weather in the
United Kingdom and a lack of specula
tive demand in that market North
western receipts were placed at 105 cars
and Winnipeg at 78 cars. Weather in
our own Northwest was favorable and
warmer and clearer weather in the Can
adian Northwest is expected to help
wheat.
Oats followed the trend of the other
markets, selling Vic to %c lower at the
opening.
The break of 5c in hog prices, with the
weakness displayed by the various
: grains, was responsible for a lower mar
ket in the provision pit.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says. "The American contract market
is being liquidated gradually and the in
terest is becoming smaller and smaller.
Consumers are buying ahead in volume
of moment, consequently hedge trading
is on the minimum scale. The Clarke
stamp tax proposal has become a veri
table nightmare to the underwriter, and
he now prefers to look on. no matter
what the crop prospects may seem to be
In other words, there is now a greater
incentive to let the market alone than
there is to shoulder responsibility
Meanwhile, continued dry weather over
the heavy producing sections of Texas
is undoubtedly doing some damage to
the cotton crop there. But plenty of
moisture east of the Mississippi has
caused both talent and trade to believe
that rapid progress toward a very large
yield Is being made. Recent reports
from the Carolinas. Georgia and Ala
bama have reflected Increasing opti

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Sen
timent in wheat is extremely bearish,
and those who were in the pit all day
said they saw less hedging business.
What corn will do from now on depends
largely upon weather. This is the last
day of trading in July corn. It would
not be a surprise to see it go to lc
premium or more over September.
There is said to be a good-sized open
interest, with one or two large traders
short. It was regarded as mainly a
question as to who would start to even
up first. Should holders stand out.
bears will not have an easy time in
evening up.”

B. W. Snow says the reason for the
sudden collapse of corn prospects under
the influence ofonly a few consevutive
days of high temperature is found in i
the lack of seasonal moiHture and con- I
sequent absence of sub-surface moisture [
