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. RATE ORDER KILLS DID‘BASING’PLAN Ruling on Georgia Cases Neces sitates Change in All South eastern Schedules. 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. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: August, 11.60; October, 11.08; January, 10.94; March, 11.03.

Fatr'over rest of the belt. No rain In the West; some nice tains 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- lpitation over south Texas. 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." • a * There were no rains shown in the weather map, whiclj, 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 morning. 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 in town yesterday complaining of plant shedding and recent rains insufficient.” The Missouri State report on corn was not as ba<l 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 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: do to-day depends on how much rain is shown on the map.

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.

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 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.

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. # * * Grain region forecast: Illinois cloudy, with showers in north and central por (ions to-night or Thursday; cooler. !n- liana.

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. * * * 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; Son City raining, trace; Davenport. .05; Chicago, .01.; Peoria, .02; Spring field.

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.
