NAVAL STORES OPERATORS
PLAN TO CURTAIL OUTPUT
SAVANNAH, Aug. 6—Georgia naval
stores operators will join in the general
plan for the curtailment of the output
to the end that prices may be raised to
a living figure. A resolution has’been
adopted calling upon the producers to
stop chipping on August 15. which would
shorten the season two months, and the
output reduced 25 per cent.
This action is preliminary to a gen
eral meet’ng of all operators to take
place in Jacksonville Friday. Tt in pro
posed to lessen the output half a mil
lion barrels and wipe out the excess of
rosins carried over from previous years.
Readjustment of all rates in the
territory eouth of the Potomac River
and east of the Mississippi will he
necessary to conform to the Inter
state Commerce Commission's ruling
giving lower freights to LaGrange.
Vienna and Carrollton, according to
Watkins & Latimer, attorneys in the
case.
The old basing point s*ystem, except
as applied to ports and to large cities,
is doomed under thi9 decisions, they
say, although the Commission passed
only on the three ca^es at hand..
Under the old syKem certain small
towns, usually at the head of rela
tively unimportant rivers, have been
made basing points. Rates to other
towns of the same size, equidistant
or nearer the Ohio River crossings or
the large cities in Southeastern ter
ritory, have been given the through
rate to theye points, plus the local
from the favored town.
The Commission holds that there i?
no real reason for giving such places
as Cedartown, Ga.. through rates, and
denying them to such tow’ns as Vien
na. Carrollton and LaGrange.
The Immediate result. It Ip be
lieved, will be wider scattering of
the small Jobbing houses, and more
business for the large jobbing houses
in the principal cities. The saving
in freights is estimated at $40,000,000
or $50,000,000 yearly.
The Commission had the caee under
advisement from November 11, 1911,
until August 4. 1913.
Two Suspects Held
In Train Robbery
BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 6.—Two sus
pects whom police believe had a hand
in the robbery of the mail car on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad be
tween Calera and Birmingham last
night are being questioned at police
headquarters. They answer descrip
tions given by mail clerks, but both
strenuously deny their guilt.
Chief of Police Bodeker, of this
city, where the men made their es
cape from the train, has detailed ev
ery available detective on the force
to be on the lookout for the robbers,
the local men being augmented by
several railroad detectives. Chief
Bodeker says the robbery undoubt
edly was the work of professionals.
No estimate of the loss by looting of
registered mail pouches is yet avail
able.
Express company detectives are
working on the theory that the rob
bery was committed by men who are
acquainted with operations of trains
on the L & N. and also with work
In mail cars. Descriptions furnished
by men who were in the car at the
time of the robbery indicate that the
robbers were young white men. Their
masks extended from face to waist.
However, in the breeze at times the
features of the robbers were seen.
No doubt is expressed by detectives
that the men who did the work are
residents of or have headquarters in
Birmingham.
After the engine of the train had
taken water at a tank this side of
Calera the robbers boarded the mail
car. Then knowing there was no stop
between Calera and Birmingham, 30
miles, they went to work rifling the
registered mail. At Fourteenth street,
four blocks from the passenger sta
tion here, the robbers squeezed the
airbrake, brought the train to a stop
and jumped off. Engineer Wissenger
then found the mail clerks handcuff
ed and tied up.
Wins Plea Against
Being Tried on 13th
Mrs. Nellie Wood, who runs a store
In Ormewood Park, will be tried in
police court on August 14 for the rea
son that she objects strenuously to
being tried on the 13th.
Mrs. Wood Is charged with disor
derly conduct, and. when her case
was called Tuesday afternoon, a post
ponement was granted. Recorder
Pro Tern Preston set the case for the
13th, but the young woman protested
vigorously. She frankly told the Re
corder she was “very superstitious.”
Any other date would suit, she said.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6 —Influenced by
steady cables and an absence of rain
in Texas, the cotton market opened
firm to-day, with first prices at a net
advance of 3 to 7 points from last
night’s close. In view of yesterday’s
break the short interest was a little
nervous. This, coupled with private
advices from Texas stating, notwith
standing last week’s rains, more niois-
ture is need over the Southwestern belt,
resulting in prices soaring some 2 to 8
points from the initial level. The sell
ing was very light and scattered. Shorts
were good buyers, Spot interests also
bought.
Dunn* the forenoon the market was
steady on buying on bullish advice from
Theodore Price on high temperatures
in Oklahoma. High temperature there
is usually the forerunner of rain.
There were some telegrams hi circu
lation from the belt stating that there
was some deterioration going on, caused
by dry weather and high temperatures.
I^ater w r hen the noon weather report was
posted; showing extremely higli temper
atures in the Western belt in many
points stimniated the buying and caused
more uneasiness among the bear forces.
The weather map complete indicates
increasing cloudiness in the Northwest
ern quarter of the cotton belt; cooler,
possibly some showers in Northwest
Texas. Part cloudy over rest of the
belt, except cloudy with probably some
showers in the Gulf coast districts.
Gulf disturbance is unchanged in posi
tion, but is likely to move West in a few
days and give prospects for precipita
tion in Southern Texas.
While sentiment is generally bearish
there is a feeling that higher prices may
be expected, just now in the face of the
above conditions. Whether the advance
will be sustained or not depends on
weather conditions over the next few
days. The bulls contend that another
week of dry weather in the West will
cause serious damage and a stampede
will follow.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net advance of 11 to 15
points from the final quotations of Tues
day.
Following are 11 a. m. bids In New
York: August, 11.60; October, 11.08;

COTTON GOSSIP
There were rumors that freight room
had been engaged for August shipment
from New York stock. Liverpool is un
derstood to be long of August and to
own a good bit of the local stock ac
cording to Pearsall’s.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says: "Cotton goods retailors an op
timistic concerning fall trade, and many
of them are now operating in tlie local
market. Jobbers are asking for ship
ment at once of all goods due. Septem

Riordan has been an enormous seller j
of new crops during the last few days, j
It was believed that he sold for custom
ers of Pell. Last week Riordan’s buy
ing was a feature.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6. Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows
cloudy over Oklahoma and east Ten
nessee; part cloudy to fair over tlie At-
lantics. Fair over rest of the belt. No
rain in the West; some nice rains In
North Carolina and a few light show
ers in Georgia. Gulf disturbance forma
tion still there; should move westward
in a few days and give prospects of pre-
spitation over south Texas.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Liverpool’s opening after the
holidays was significantly low. Bulls
had hoped that foreign spinners w’ould
show some concern over the Bure^i
condition figures promulgated Friday
last when the Liverpool market began
business yesterday. But they did notli-
ng of the kind: on the contrary, ab
sence of demand for forward cotton
proved an active bearish factor. Stu
dents of the staple say there can be
no question as to the existence of a
large forward requirement. Why, then,
is demand lacking now, w’hen, under
normal conditions, as in ordinary years,
consumers cover their fall, winter and
spring requirements exporters busily
engage in catering into forward commit
ments, the future markets supply the
hedges and the steamships sell ocean
freight room?
"To the man who searches for the
cause behind every effect the answer
comes easy. It Is Washington’s threat
of prohibitive legislation. The effect of
this threat Is twofold, and its rami
fications are both subtle and obvious.
Meanwhile, the American rings are
short, the volume of business light and
the trade In suspense."
• * •
There were no rains shown In the
weather map, which brought out a fair
amount of buying early. The selling
was very much scattered. Weld was
principal buyer. There were some un
favorable private reports being received
this corning.
Liverpool cables: "Market good on
reports of drouth damage in Texas. Ok
lahoma. Manchester reports poor.

quarter, part (-loudy in rest of the belt,
except over the Gulf districts.
The market advanced nearly 10 points
in the early trading, the buying being
based on high temperatures in Okla
homa, which State shows an average of
104 degrees, and absence of rain in
Texas and Oklahoma. Trading, how
ever, Is small and support timid, in the
fear of hedge selling, while crop pros
pects in Oklahoma are declining, the
greater part of Texas needs relief from
*e drouth last week, and the danger
of damage there is not yet being con
sidered seriously. Weather and crop
conditions in the Central and Eastern
States are generally accepted as pood
Reports from New York and advices
from there to buy would indicate the
work for a reaction, which was spoiled
by the good rains in central Texas dur
ing the last three days of the past week.
I been resumed on the same basis of
threatened drouth in the Western
States.
The market held the early gain well
and is steady around 11.18 for October.

NEW YORK, A tag. 6 Trading was
active at the opening of the stock mar
ket to-day, but the list was irregular
and quotations showed a considerable
division of sentiment. California Pe
troleum was again under pressure, de
clining % to 18 %, while Canadian
Pacific sustained the same amount of
loss. Lehigh Valley sold off %. but
rallied and recovered most of its de
cline.
United States Steel common began at
61 Vm for the loss of %, but within half
an hour was selling around 61V
Illinois Central and Union Pacific
showed firmness, each advancing %.
Later both shaded Great Northern
preferred advanced %. American
Smelting. after selling unchanged,
shaded *4. Among the other losses
were: Amalgamated Copper, %; New
Haven. •%; Anaconda Copper, *4; and
Chio Copper, %.
Western Union Telegraph spurted,
gaining a point. Southern Pacific,
Reading and Northern Pacific advanced.
The curb was steady. Americans in
London were firm on cablegrams plac
ing a better construction on the United
States montetary situation.
"Looks as if the advance In stocks
would continue with the usual reactions
that we generally have in a bull mar
ket. Believe that stocks should be
bought on fair reactions, as the charac
ter of the buying this week is excep-
tiona’ly good, and would indicate that
powerful interests are friendly to the
constructive side of prices.
"Sentiment seems to be more opti
mistic, public participation is increasing
and general conditions favor a higher
level of prices.—Potter
In the last half of the first hour the
scarcity of many issues became so pro
nounced as to cause a sudden stampede
of shorts. Union Pacific led a bri?*k up
ward movement, advancing nearly 2
points to 152%. while substantial frac
tional gains were noted in Southern
Pacific, Northern Pacific. Reading, Great
Northern preferred and Steel common
In the late forenoon the covering
movement was complete^ and fractional
recessions were recorded throughout the
list. The tone at the end of the second
hour w’as steady.
Time money is loaning and renewing
at 2*4 per oent.
Trading in Texas Company was the
feature of the day. In the last hour
this issue sold around li4% for a net
gain of 4*4 on the day. There were re
ports in WaLI street that some person
W'ith inside information was buying on
the strength of the forthcoming finan
cial report of the company. Steel sold
around 61*4, for a fractional gain and
other slight advances were made by
Union Paciflo and Erie. Reading sold
off. The tone was quiet but steady.
The market closed heavy. Govern

Dry and hot weather.
• • ■
The Missouri State report on corn was
not as bad as expected.
• • •
Trading In all grains was of enormous
volume yesterday. Everybody wanted
to sell on reported cooler weather over
the larger portion of the grain region.
The selling seemed to he profit taking by
holders, who were tired of waiting for
the anticipated lower temperatures and
rains. Offerings were readily absorbed
by strong sources. Along toward the
close corn led in excitement and
strength, but failed to retrieve the early
decline.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"Wheat has had a break of 3%c from
Monday’s high price and the trade
seems more bearish because of the big
receipts, anticipation of good showing
by the Government report Friday, and
a lessening of the export demand and
tiie decline in cash premiums, it would
not be surprising to see prices drap
some lower. What the corn market will
do to-day depends on how much rain
is shown on the map. With good soak
ing rains over the belt a sharp break is
anticipated, but with only light showers
and high temperatures, traders look for
prices to hold around present levels and
possibl> go a little higher."
• * •
Nicolet, of The Kansas City Star, says
that Kansas will have one of the small
est corn crops this year ever produced.
• • «
It is intimated that stop-loss orders
are heavy in all speculative corn mar
kets, and that a decline of l*4c or so
would uncover many. Chicago peop'e
report country houses buying, with or
ders accompanied by sensational crop
news.
• • •
John Tnglis wired Logan & Bryan:
"Southeastern Nebraska, with exception
of some of the bottoms, all corn suffer
ing and losing ground. Considerable
acreage Just tasseling. for which some
hopes are entertained, is fast losing, as
tasseling period is just when rain is
most needed."
• • •
Yields of 739,730,000 bushels of wheat.
2,800,000,000 bushels of corn 1,003,266,000
bushels of oats and 14.702,000 bales of
cotton were estimated for this season
in the annual crop report of the Con
tinental and Commercial National Bank
made public to-day. Other yields were
estimated. Rye 36,854,000 bushels, barley
200,527,000 bushels and hay 66,610,000
tons. The tncrease in the wheat yield
was estimated at 9,000,000 bushels over
last year’s crop. This is 170,000,000
bushels more than the United States can
use In one year.
• • •
Grain region forecast: Illinois cloudy,
with showers In north and central por
tions to-night or Thursday; cooler. In
diana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, showers
to-night or Thursday and cooler; Mis
souri, Kansas, Nebraska and Michigan,
generally fair; Iowa probably light
showers to-night or Thursday; Dakotas,
cloudy to-night and Thursday; warmer
• • •
Com was sold on reports of rains west
of the river.
• • •
Bartlett, Frazier Co. says: "Wheat—
The weather in the Northwest is H.mi
with seasonable temperatures. Local
sentiment is very bearish and the vol
ume of new buying limited. Prices look
as though they would drag lower, but
the market has had a sharp break since
Monday, and we do not c*»re to press
short sales on this decline.
"Corn—The weather map shows very
light scattered showers at a few points
in Nebraska and Iowa through central
Illinois There was a good deal of short
corn put out yesterday by locals in an
ticipation of rains, which is likely to be
covered to-day.
"Oats—The volume of trade Is lighter,
and there has been a good deal of even
ing-up during the past few days. Of
ferings of the crop are moderate, but
’he demand is rather light. Prices will
he Influenced by wheat and corn.
"Provisions—Liquidation in provisions
seems to have been quite thorough again
and there was a good class of buying
on yesterday’s rally."
• • •
From the action of both wheat and
corn this morning it looks as though
liquidation had been pretty thorough
yesterday, and the general belief is that
the market will rule higher.

2.652.000 bushels, and oats crop at 878,
