PARCEL POST FOREST FI
Remarkable Increase in Volume! Summer Residents Flee as the
of Mail Here Arouses Favorable
Comment in Washington.
Postmaster Hugh McKee declared
Wednesday that the large increase in
the amount of mail handled in the
Atlanta postoffice was the subject of
favorable comment in Washington
among department officials.
During the past year more than
50,000,000 letters, not including news
papers and periodicals were stamped
or canceled in the Atlanta postoffiee
This is an increase over the pre
vious year of about 15,000,000 letters.
Showing the progressive spirit of
Atlanta merchants in taking advan
tage of the new parcel post, Mr. Mc
Kee said: “We are handling more
than 7,000 parcel post packages per
day, which is more than are handled
in Louisville, Indianapolis and other
cities twice the size of Atlanta. The
Atlanta office ranks sixteenth in the
number of parcel post packages han
dled In the United States.
“Here in the postoffice we have a
chance to keep close tab on Atlanta’s
activity and correspondence, and I
will say that the growth in mail busi
ness since I came into office has been
marvelous, and scarcely seems believ
able when you compare the books of
previous years with the fiscal year
just ended.”
Crushers Donate Fourth of the
Amount Needed — Committees
etG Promises of Support.
With $1,200, one-fourth of the amount
needed, contributed by the Cotton Seed
Crushers of Georgia, plans for a per
manent exhibit of cotton products which
it is proposed to establish in the new
Champer of Commerce building have
received an impetus that bids fair to
carry the project through. Other lines
lines of the cotton industry of the State
will be asked to contribute an amount
in proportion to their importance, and
it is thought the entire amount will be
raised within a few weeks.
The gift of the Crushers was made
through their chairman, W. M. Hutch
inson, at a meeting late Tuesday after
noon of the cotton products committee
of the Atlanta Manufacturers’ Exposi
tion Committee, of which Mell R. Wil
kinson is chairman. The meeting was
addressed by Mayor Woodward, Com
missioner of Agriculture J. D. Price,
Wilmer L Moore, S. A. Carter and
others.
Special committees for each branch
of the cotton industry will be named
Wednesday. These committees will
confer with respresentatlves of each
line, including fertilizers, the textile
industry, the cotton oil industry and
ginning, and it will be determined to
just what extent the movement for an
exhibit will be supported.
Beware, Poseurs,
of ‘Soul Photos’
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 6.—“With the de
velopment of ‘soul photography,’ ” the
latest addition to the picture maker’s
are, says Miss Emma Gerhard, “the
modern photographer will vie with the
old masters in producing pictures that
will live forever.
“It is wholly a matter of art,” said
Miss Gerhard. “It consists of bring
ing out in the subject what is really
in him or her, not in making an arti
ficial reproduction of his features and
clothes.
“Every human being Is constantly
posing. There are a thousand and
one little superficial things about
every man and woman which cover
up the real self, and these things
overshadow all else In photographs.”

PARIS, Aug. 6.—The commission
sent by the French Government to
study the effect upon French com
merce of the opening of the Panama
Canal report^ unfavorably upon the
establishment of a commercial base
either on Guadaloupe or Martinique-
These French possessions in the West
Indies are too far south of the regu
lar Panama route, says the commis
sion, and shippers will rather coal in
Porto Rico or Cuba.
Lieutenant Hallier. representing the
Minister of Marine, recommends,
however, the establishment of a nava'

tion, intends to appoint Alfred Sze, a
Cornell graduate, as Minister to Wash

fang Ambassador, but the American
Government did not agree to raise the

necessitated the nomination of a ju
nior.
Mr. Sze was nominated Minister to
Washington in 1911. but did not go to
his post on account of the revolution.
HYANNIS. MASS., Aug. 6.—With
more than forty square miles of Cape
Cod timber devastated by a roaring
forest fire that has caused a loss of
more than $250,000, the fate of this
town and nearby villages hung in the
balance to-day.
This forenoon the flames raged be
tween here and South Yarmouth de
pot. If the wind turns to the north
west veteran forest fire fighters de
clare Hyannis, West Yarmouth and
the adjoining villages are doomed.
Hundreds of summer visitors as
well as year-round residents are pre
pared to flee. One thousand volunteer
fire fighters have been trying various
schemes to check the onward rush.
Ditches were dug, advance fires built
and tons of water poured on th i
flames.
Summer residents have placed au
tomobiles at the disposal of the fire
fighters and touring cars and limou
sines are transporting gallons of wa
ter.
Residents living In sections remote
from the different villages in the
threatened districts have been coming
into town with all their belongings,
leaving their cottages and barns :o
the flames.

FLEETS OF WORLD
iL
Secretary Daniels Plans Huge
Naval Display for 1915—An
nounces Defense Policy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Secretary
of the Navy Daniels to-day announced
his plan to have all the world’s fleets
mobilize In Hampton Roads in Feb
ruary, 1915. and, led by’ the Ameri
can squadron, proceed through the
Panama canal and up the West Coast
to San Francisco.
Secretary Daniels considers that
this will form a fitting opening for
the Panama canal besides being the
greatest naval pageant the world ha?
seen.
In addition to this, Secretary
Daniels intends to have the Ameri
can fleet, headed by the old battle
ship Oregon, steam through the canal
next spring to celebrate the opening
of the passageway' to ships of com
merce.
“It has beeen stated," said the Sec
retary of the Navy to-day, “that I
intend to divide the Atlantic fleet
and to keep a portion of it on the Pa
cific side. This is erroneous. What
I Intend to do is to divide the time
of the fleet so that it will spend six
months of the year on one coast and
then go to the other, instead of
spending all its time on the Atlantic
side as at present.”
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 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 SV 4 c from
Monday’s high price and the trade
seems more bearish because of the big
receipts, anticipation of good showing
by tne Government report Friday, and
a lessening of the export demand and
the decline in cash premiums. It would
not be 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 for
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.
• • 9
It is intimated that stop-loss orders
are heavy in all speculative corn mar
kets. and that a decline of l%c or so
would uncover' many. Chicago people
report country houses buying, with or
ders accompanied by sensational crop
new’s.
* * *
John Inglis 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. 1,003,260,000
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 oublie 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,

Corn was sold on reports of rains west
of the river.
COTTON MARKET
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 mois
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.
During- the forenoon the market was
steady on buying on bullish advice from
Pheodore Brice on high temperatures
in Oklahoma. High temperature there
is usually the forerunner of rain.

There were rumors that freight room

The New’ York Journal of Commerce
says: “Cotton goods retailers are op

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 6.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows
cloudy over Oklahoma and east Ten

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
cipitation over south Texas.
The New Orleans Times-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 Fridav
last when the Liverpool market began
business yesterday. But they did noth
ing 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.’’
