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.

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.

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. • • * Map* Indicates cooler with some pre cipitation coming in from the Central grain States. • • • Austin, Texas, wires: "Farmers 1n town yesterday complaining of plant shedding and recent rains insufficient." 11.57 1 11.13 1 11.07 11. 10.94 10 10.98 11 10.90 IT. 10.9310 10.98;11 11.01 11 *> i » * (A O -1 -!</) o Atlanta Markets 11.57H1 11.00 11 11.00111. 94110.94)10.

HAYWARD <£ CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.—Liverpool came in about 2 points better than due on futures to-day. but quotes spots 3 points lower and sales 6.000 bales. The weather map shows cloudy in Oklahoma and East Tennessee, part loudy in the Atlantics, fair in rest of the belt. Indications are for increasing cloudiness; cooler weather with possi bly some showers in the Northwestern 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 ORLEANS COTTON. c it a £ cn i 0 ast ale.

PRICE OF STOCKS Powerful Interests Are Friendly to Constructive Side of Prices. Undertone Firm. 9y CHARLES W. STORM. 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.

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. • • * Price Current estimates com crop at 2.652.000 bushels, and oats crop at 878, uOO.OOO bushels. • • • Temperatures and rainfall: Canadian Northwest clear, 46 to 68; Northwest, 56 to 68; partly cloudy; West cloudy, 64 to 72; Valentine rained, .20; North Platte, .02; Soo City raining, trace; Davenport. .05; Chicago, .01; Peoria, .02; Spring- field.
