THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. 13 V I r BILL OPENS if WOMAN IN BUNT .BA. T TO Extension Possible If Measure A. W. & N. Entrance to Atlanta Is Passed. Giving 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. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: July 12.00, August 11.72, Octo ber 11.26, January 11.15. Following are 10 a. m. bids in New Orleans: August 11.55, October 11.29, January 11.28. Estimated cotton receipts: Friday. 1912. New Orleans 50 to 100 2 NEW YORK. COTTON. I 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. Conditions by States: July 23, June 23, 1913. 1913.

STORM. 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. Stock quotations to noon. Prev. STOCK— High. Low. Noon. Close. Cotton quotations: lOpenjHigh |Low|Noon July Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov Dec. Jan. Feb. Mch.

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. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. 85 86 89% NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

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.” * • * • Chicago, 80. light rain; Minneapolis. 70, partly cloudy, heavy rain last night; Springfield, 85, cloudy, no rain; Terre Haute, S3, cloudy, good shower; Peoria. 85, cloudy, no rain; Kansas City. 80 partly cloudy; Omaha, 70, clear, light shower this morning; St. Louis, 82. clear; Kansas City, 31. mostly clear and cool, no rain; light shower at Beatrice, Nebr., clearing now’; hard storm at Jop lin and West Plains, Mo. * * * 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 [ suply.
