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 meeting of all operators to take
place in Jacksonville Friday. It is pro
posed to lessen the output half a mil
lion barrels and wipe out the excess of
rosins carried over from previous years.
train No. 4, between Calera and
Birmingham last night, were released
this afternoon, after having been
closely questioned by Chief of Police
Bodeker. Officers are still searching
for the robbers.
Chief Bodeker 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 v
and jumped off. Engineer Wissenger
then found the mail clerks handcuff
ed and tied up.

Constructive Side of Prices.
Undertone Firm,
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
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 btlt 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 hear forces.
The weather map complete fndicates
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.

The New Orleans Times-Demoerat
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
ing of fhe kind; on the contrary, ab
sence of demand for forward cotton
proved an active bearish factor. Stu
dents of thp staple say tti*re 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 answ-er
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

amount of buying early. The selling
was very much scattered. Weld was
principal buyer. There were some un

Austin, Texas, wires: “Farmers in

The Missouri State report on corn was

. 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 fatted 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
the decline in cash premiums. It would
not be surprising to see prices drag
some lower. What the corn market wit:

Readjustment of all rates in the
territory south of the Potomac River
and east 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 system, 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 large cities in Southeastern ter
ritory, have been given the through
rate to these points, plus the local
from the favored town.
The Commission holds that there is
no real reason Cor 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.

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.

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 ba'es.
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 Mhe 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 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.

“Looks as if the advance in stocks
would continue with the usual reactions

ket. Believe that stocks should be
bought on fair reactions, as the charac
ter of the byying this week is cxeep-
tiona'ly good, ami would indicate that
powerful interests are friendly to the
constructive side of prices.
“Sentiment seems to he 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

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*4e or so
would uncover many. Chicago peop'e
report country houses buying, with or
ders accompanied by sensational crop
news.

John Inglis wired Logan & Bryan:
“Southeastern Nebtaska, 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 w’hen rain is
most needed.”
• • #
Yields of 739.730.000 bushels of wheat,
2.800,000.000 bushels of corn. 1,003,266,000
bushels "i oats and 11.702.000 bales of
cotton were estimated for this season
in the annual crop report of the Con
tinental and Commercial National Rank
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.

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. Brices look
as though they would drag lower, but
the market has had a sharp break since
Monday, and we do not care to press
short sales on this decline.
“Corn -The weather map shows ver>
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
be demand is rather light. Prioes will
be influenced by wheat an'd 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 thut
(he market will rule higher.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—There was a
complete reversal of conditions sur
rounding the corn market to-day, as
the early weakness was changed to a
wild and advancing market toward
the end of the session. While the
highest prices reached were not fully
sustained, the undercurrent was one
of great strength.
Wheat closed at advances of 1-4^
5-8 and oats were up l-8(S)3-8. Cash
sales reported for the day were 10,000
bushels of wheat. 222,000 bushels of
corn, and 255,000 bushels of oats.
Provisions were sharply higher all
around.
