11 TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NElVtf. E COTTON MARKET Park Manager Scores Chief and Factionalism — Says He Is Serving Last Term. Dan Carey, General Manager of Parks, declared Friday that factional ism In the Park Board had reached mich a degree that the exploitation or »ny new Ideas absolutely was pre vented and that he was serving his last term under such conditions. Authentic reports from the faction opposed to him are that plans are being made to drop him at the end of his term, January 1, 1915. The old-time factionalism reached an acute stage at a meeting Thursday afternoon because Manager Carey had not consulted President J. O. Cochran about contracts for an underground , conduit for the lighting of Piedmont Park. Board Censures Mr. Carey. President Cochran, with the bal ance of power in the board, has been supporting Manager Carey. But when Manager Carey took action on his own initiative he switched to the anti-Carey faction led by M. B. Young and R. A. Burnett and resolu tions were adopted by a vote of 9 to 3 reprimanding Mr. Carey for mak ing contracts without consulting the board. Tangle Over "Loaned Stone.” Manager Carey also asked the board to straighten out an agreement be tween President Cochran and Engi neer Nym Hurt, of the City Construc tion Department, about some crushed stone. Manager Carey said the min utes of the board showed that Presi dent Cochran had represented to the board that the stone had been given, while Mr. Hurt claims that it was only loaned and he wanted it back. President Cochran said he under stood that the stone had been loaned, and if he had represented that it had teen given to the department he had made a mistake. “It seems that a member of the board can do anything, but anything the general manager does is wrong,” said Mr. Carey. Commissioners Frank Reynolds, William Van Houten and Councilman Bam Shepard stoutly defended Man ager Carey, but they were outvoted. What the Charges Are. Here are the specific charges brought by President Cochran against Manager Carey: That the board appropriated $200 to remove the Erskine fountain to Grant Park and that Manager Carey spent $600 on it. That negligence resulted in $22 de- 4 murrage collected on cars of stone one time and $17 another. That he has given contracts for $800 for underground wiring of Pied mont Park, and that all of these ex penditures were contracted for with out the knowledge or consent of the board. Manager Carey explained that the wiring contracts were made as a re sult of a misunderstanding between himself and City Electrician R. C. Turner. T r Prev. Open!High !Low 1 Noon Close.

Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma clear and hot.” * * • NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 8.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows part cloudy over eastern half of belt and I south Texas; generaly fair elsewhere; J general showers in eastern half of belt; ' none in western half. Indications are still for some rain coming in the west over Sunday. 9 • * Rainfall The New Orleans Tlmes- Democrat says: “After making full al lowance for the fact that cotton is a dry weather plant and thrives on sun shine, the talent is forced to admit that drouth in parts of Oklahoma and Texas, accompanied by such high tempera tures as those of yestercTay, is injuring tile crop every day. However, most traders on the short side have learned not to accept damage reports at face value, and when, in the face of a fair forecast for the west, the barometer lines revealed low pressure of the Gulf of Mexico, the talent promptly exploited storm formation as a promise of rain and weather students on the floor helped by asserting that extremely hot weather in Oklahoma is simply a forerunner of rain and lower temperatures. Thus the market worked down after the bulge of Wednesday. “Meanwhile, Manchester is not send ing any encouraging reports, though Liverpool managed to sell 10,000 bales on the spot yesterday. At this time any lack of evidence of trade activity is apt to tell on the raw cotton market, be cause just now slack demand for the actual makes a poor showing when con trasted with the keen demand in evi dence during the past two years. “The market is very dull and very narrow; speculation has been reduced to a minimum and neither talent nor trade is in a humor to display enterprise. In- | creasing spot sales at Galveston and Houston indicate that the new crop market is opening up.” * • • The market was sold off after the opening on unofficial reports of rain at Galveston. The early weather map shows no rain and weather experts could not see any in sight, which re sulted in an active wave of buying at the outset. • • • On the call, Flinn and Gifford bought August. Black, Seidenberg, Hentz and Harden sold. Wilson, Mitchell, Gifford, Flinn and Black bought October. Mc- Elroy, Bashford and Hentz sold. Flinn, Wiggin, Watkins, Rait and Gifford bought December. Rothschild, Rosen berg. Black and Orvis sold. Hicks bought January. Bashford, Hentz and Schley sold. Marked Improvement Noted in Wool Trade BOSTON. Aug. 8.—More inquiry has developed In the wool market during the past week, probably stimulated by the increased demand for lightweight goods, following the recent openings by leading mills. Total sales are estimated at fully 2,000,000 pounds, the business being distributed among the leading houses and covering most of the desirable grades. Primary markets are now well cleaned up. except in Ohio, but even there very little is doing and buyers are coming home. Prices here are un changed. Liquidation of holdings wherever a profit is shown is the policy in favor and some transfers, it is said, have been made at a very small margin.

OBITUARY CHICAGO, Aug 8.—The weather over the greater portion of the corn belt was again hot and dry, although in sections of Nebraska ana Iowa It was reported as cooler. Northeastern and eastern Iowa, as well as northern and central Illinois were visited by raijis last night, but as an offset to this a message was received from Kansas City, saying that in some sections of Missouri the crop will be a total failure, and that In others It will not average over 50 per cent. The forecast of the weather bureau up to to morrow evening shows no relief In sight for the corn crop. News of this nature, as well as generally bullish feeling in the corn market brought further upturns of %@%c at the opening this morning. The strength in the corn market car ried wheat %@%c higher at the open ing, in spite of the generally bearish news received from the Old World as well as our own and the Canadian North west. Weather in Europe was favorable for harvesting and movement, and car goes at Liverpool were freely offered at concessions. Fine general rains were re ported In the Canadian Northwest, which are good lor the filling of the crops, and beneficial rains were reported in our own Northwest. The corn market had a strengthening Influence on oats and sales were made at higher levels. Trading In provisions was rather light early, but the market had a stronger undertone, being influenced to some ex tent by the strength In coarse grains and the higher market for hogs at the yards.
