Studies Conditions in Mexico
While Administration Awaits
Report Before Planning.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY. All#. 12.—Special
Envoy John Lind, sent to Mexico City
by President Wilson, is making him
self thoroughly acquainted with con
ditions in Mexico. The watchword
of the present situation Is caution, as
Mr. Lind and the attaches of the
United States Embassy fear that a
hasty step will cause complete fail-
ore of the Ambassador’s mission.
It was reported that Nelson
O’Shaughnessy, Charge d’Affaires of
the United States Embassy, had con
trived to arrange an official visit at
the National Palace to-day. It was
assumed that he might then present
to President Huerta or Foreign Min
ister Aldape the note given him by
Envoy Lind.
Mr. Lind called at the embassy
agrain to-day. He refuses to say any
thing about his instructions from
Washington.
Hostile Acts Are Lacking.
To the layman it seems that the
Mexican situation is standing still
rather than showing improvement,
although to official eyes the lack of
any direct hostile action by Mexico or
Mexicans is a good omen. The Mex
ican people are apathetic and conser
vatives believe thp.t President Huerta
virtually stood alone in his defiance of
the United States. However, allow
ance is made for the Latin tempera
ment. If anti-American feeling flares
up on a grand scale, it may sweep the
republic.
Claiming the Government has been
misrepresented, President Huerta has
placed a strict censorship upon the
cable line. Even telegrams to the
United States State Department pass
under this careful inquiry.
N. A. Jennings, correspondent for
the Hearst papers, and Marvin Fer-
ree, another American newspaper
man, released from prison last night
after being detained 24 hours, were
kept under clqse surveillance to-day.
Both feared tlhey would be expelled
under the undesirable alien law’.
Embassy Guard Declined.
The arrival at Vera Cruz of more
United States warships has caused
bitter comment in the Mexican press.
The commandante of the rurales has
offered to provide a permanent guard
about the United States Embassy, but
Mr. O’Shaughnessy informed the
Mexican Government tuat the Stars
and Stripes provide enough protec
tion.
Mr. Lind, despite ’warnings of his
friends, walks abroad in the streets
or rides in an open automobile, mak
ing no effort to hide his identity. At
ihe Hotel Lascurain he mingles free
ly with the other guests.
Mrs. Lind, who suffered a slight In
disposition upon her arrival here, was
reported better to-day.
Saves Girl From
Injury in Runaway
AUGUSTA, Aug. 12.—J. P. Dough
ty, Jr., a prominent cotton man,
proved himself a hero In a runaway
here yesterday when he saved Miss
Frankie Rubenstein, an attractive Au
gusta girl, from serious injury. Miss
Rubenstein was driving up Broad
street when her horse became unman
ageable. Doughty attempted to grab
the reins, but was unsuccessful, and
then he seized a wheel. He was
thrown, but he held Arm and soon
climbed into the buggy and secured
the lines, bringing the horse to a
stop. ,
Charlton Goes Back
To Italy in Steerage
NEW TORK, Aug. 12.—Porter
Chariton will be taken back to Italy

steamer Re d’ltalla.

MINING STOCKS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. An absence of
weather news of features in the cables
caused the cotton market 10 open dull
to-day and first prices were from un
changed to 1 point off to 4 points high
er than the closing quotations of Mon
day. After the call strength developed
and prices rallied 3 to 10 points from
the initial level, due mainly to the dry
map in the Western belt. The ring ap
parently seemed to want cotton and
purchased rather freely at times. Many
of the larger spot houses were noted
bu yers.
Cordill was out with a report on parts
>f the Eastern belt, which was consid
ered very favorable. This, coupled with
a private telegram from Austin. Texas,
staling that no change of consequence
is noted in conditions, while the weath
er has been hot and dry, the tempera
tures were only 90 degrees yesterday
and the entire State toward Oklahoma,
cotton is opening fast and in ten days
it will be moving freely all south of
Waco. This brought nut rather active
selling from Wall street, but offerings
were so rapidly absorbed that prices
during the late forenoon were firmly
maintained around the early high point.
Following are 11 a m. bids in New’
York; August, 11.65; October, 11.11; De

activity at the opening of to-day’s ses
sion on the Board of Trade, early ad
vances of %c to %c oeing shown over

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Chisholm & Chapman: Private re
ports are being received in numbers
from the Southwest advising of general
deterioration, but the trade here is so
intensely bearish and speculation Is so
limited that those reports have little or
no effect.
Raymond Pynchon & Co.: We do not
look for much further depression in
prices under present conditions.
Josephthal, Louchheim & Co.: We
continue to advise sales on all strong
spot**.
Shearson. Hammfll & Co.: We feel
that current prices are very full, and
the market can be advantageously sold
on all rallies.

Grain Notes
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 12 —Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows most
ly cloudy in Texas and North Carolina,
generally fair over rest of the belt. No
rains shown on the map. except light
show’er at Galveston and Amarillo, and
raining in far west Texas, at El Paso.
Nice rains fell over south central Gulf
and North Carolina, but little rain else
where.

F. M. Cordill wires; “Charlotte.

Improvement since my last trip. The

Waxahatchie. Texas, wires: "Hot
winds hurting cotton badly. We have
reports stating western Oklahoma is de
teriorating rapidly. Only showers re
ported to-day at Yoakum and Brenham"
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Expected rains did not fall in
Oklahoma and Texas and the market
was due to advance on the opening Mon
day morning. But Europe reflected no
alarm. Arkansas reported splendid rains,
Washington unsettled weather over Ok
lahoma and the weather prophets among
the trade said that Texas rains are im
minent. Under the circumstances the
market continued under the spell of
Washington legislative threat and hung
fire.
"Recently students of the crop have
devoted much time and thought to the
effect of dry weather in Texas. One fac
tion, predicating its opinion on the gen
eral reports of Tack of moisture made by
the Weather Bureau and on the great
number of crop damage advices now’
coming from the west, says the crop in
Texas and Oklahoma has deteriorated
sharply, and that those States no longer
promise a wonderful yield. Another fac
tion. which has looked up the western
rainfall records of other years, Is equal
ly certain that the present drouthy spell
Is not only not abnormal, but is con
fined to a very much smaller area than
the trade realizes.
"Thus it is that pome traders adhere
to the belief that a very large crop is
on the way. conditions east of the Mis
sissippi River being excellent, while “til
ers are now becoming convinced another
year's need will exceed production.
Meantime new crop cotton is oeing ab
sorbed by previously created require
ment Just as the talent expected It
would he. but the demand for later ship
ments Is small, a fact that robs the bull
■tide of the account of much attractive
ness."
• • •
The Journal of Commerce says the vol
ume of business passing in the cotton
goods markets is being underestimated.
Jobbers are doing a good general trade.
Cotton yarn prices are easier. The
lower trend of prices on the cotton ex
changes has caused some wetback In the
goods markets, bur mere are few goods
available for spot delivery. Most mills
do not care to go far *,ito another cot

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: "Sen

conservative, although a majority of
the local professionals are bearish.
There is little new in the situation and
for the time being traders are waiting
developments in the Northwest, as the
season Is at hand for frost scares there.
The trade in September corn Is decreas
ing and looking for bullish crop reports
within the next few’ days.
"A report of the development of agri
culture says the general crop conditions
on August 1 averaged for the United
IStatps 62 per cent lower than on the
same date last year: also 4.3 per cent
low’er than average condition to August
1 of recent years. Weatner conditions
about August 1 were unfavorable for
crops in general. Low’est conditions are

"As T have said many times of late, !
any activity the stock market displays j
is when prices are advancing. I hear
that the large interests are heavily long
of securities and are accumulating more
from day to day.
"Although prices have had a good ad
vance from the low of June 11, the
advance under way will continue until
stocks are at a considerably higher
level. I am especially bullish on Union
Pacific, Steel, Copper and the Tractions,
and believe holdings should be Increased
in all of these issues on any moderate
recession.”—G. D. Potter.
