NAVAL STORES OPERATORS PLAN TO CURTAIL OUTPUT SAVANNAH, Aug. 6—Georgia naval stores operators will join in the genera plan for the curtailment of the '° llvfng-fignre! KA. ■gSTy-a shorten the season two months, and the ° U ffi ac'tlon^ls^preliminary to a gen- era 1 meeting of all operators to take place Tn Jacksonville Friday. It is pro- nosed to lessen the output half a mil lion barrels and wipe out the excess of rosins carried over from previous >ears. Readjustment of all rates 1n the territory south of the Potomac River and ea*t of the Mississippi will be 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 aystem, except as applied to ports and to large cities, is doomed under this decisions, they say, although the Commission passed only on the three cases at hand. Under the old system 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 farge cities in Southeastern ter ritory, have been given the through rate to thes*e points, plus the local from the favored town. The Commission holds that there i3 no real reason for giving such places as Cedartown, Ga., through rates, and denying them to such towns as Vien na. Carrollton and LaGrange. The immediate result, it is 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 case 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 High Cables and Dry Weather Stimulate Buying and Cause Uneasiness Among Bears. TTEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Influenced by steady cables and an absence of rain in Texas, the cotton market opened j Arm 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 mois ture is need over the Southwestern belt, resulting in prices soaring some 2 to 8 points from the initial level. Thd sell ing was very light and scattered. Shorts were good buyers. Spot interests also bought. During 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 In circu lation from the belt stating that there was some deterioration going on, caused by dry weather and high temperatures. Later when the noon weather report was posted, showing extremely high temper atures in the Western belt in many points stimulated 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.

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- ipitation over south Texas. The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat says: “Liverpool's opening after the holidays was significantly low. Bulls had hoped that foreign spinners would show some concern over the Bureau condition figures promulgated Friday last when the Liverpool market began business yesterday. But they did noth- 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, when, 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.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, Aug 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. I’nltod States Steel common began at 61 1 h for the loss of > 2 . but within half an hour was selling around 61%. Illinois Central and Union Pacific showed firmness, each advancing %. Later both shaded Great Northern preferred advanced *4- American Smelting, after* selling unchanged, shaded %. Among the other losses were: Amalgamated Copper, %; New Haven. %; Anaconda Copper, %; and Chlo Copper, %. Western Union Telegraph spurted, gaining a point. Southern Pacific, Pearling 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 hull mar ket. Believe that stocks should be bought on fair reactions, as the charac ter of the buying this week is excep tionally 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 brisk up ward movement, advancing nearly 2 points to 152*4, 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 completed and fractional recessions were recorded throughout the list. The tone at the end of the second hour was steady. Time money Is loaning and renewing at 2% per cent. Trading In Texas Company was the feature of the day. In the last hour this Issue sold around 114% for a net gain of 4% on the day. There were re ports In Wall street that some person with Inside Information was buying on the strength of the forthcoming finan cial report of the company. Steel sold around 6144, for a fractional gain and other slight advances were made bv Union Pacific and Erie Reading sold off. The tone was quiet but steady. The market closed heavy.

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 Presrton set the case for the 13th, but the young woman protected vigorously. She frankly told the Re corder she was "very superstitious.” Any other date would suit, she said. Seven Seek Cordele Postmaster's Place CORDELE, Aug. 6.—That F. G.

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 cloudy 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 cloudy 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 he 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 good Reports from New York and advices from there to buy would indicate ti e work for a reaction, which was spoiled '»y the good rains in central Texas dur ing the last three days of the past week.

Everybody wanted to sell on reported cooler weather over the larger portion of the grain region The selling seemed to be 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 3Vic 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 (he decline in cash premiums. It would not bo surprising to see prices drag 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 fbr prices to hold around present levels and possibly 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 people report country houses buying, with or ders accompanied by sensational crop news. • * * John Inglis wired I>igan & Bryan: "Southeastern Nebraska, with exception of some of the bottoms, all corn suffer ing and losing ground. Considerable acreage Just tasseling, for tfvhleh some hopes are entertained, is fast losing, as tasseling period is Just w-hen rain is most needed.” • • • Yields of 739.730.000 bushels of w’heat, 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 Increase 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 clear with seasonable temperatures. Local sentiment is very bearish and the vol ume of new buying limited. Prices look us though they would drag lower, but the market has had a sharp break since Monday, and we do not care to prfess 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 Ir 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 'lie demand is rather light. Prices will be. 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,- '00,000 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, 0L; Peoria, 02; Spring- field. 111., .08; Southwest cloudy, 68 to 82; Ohio Valley part cloudy, 68 to 74; Indianapolis, 14; Cincinnati raining, trace; Evansville, Ind., .01.
