Massacre of Rebels
Continues in China
COTTON MARKET
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.—Government
troops are showing no quarter to the
southern rebels.
The forts at Woo Sung were cap
tured by the Federals to-day and
nearly all the rebel defenders were
killed.
GRAIN MARKET
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Corn showed a
further fractional advance at the open
ing this morning, but the market failed
to display as much activity as seen since
the present higher price campaign was
started. The greater portion of the
corn belt received rains, me exceptions
being Kansas, Oklahoma ana part of
Missouri. Temperatures in tne South
west were again higher, and the belief
that ’further deterioration will be seen
prevails among the trade here. Argen
tina shipmeais for the week are ex
pected to be larger, and an estimate
sent out places the exportable surplus
of that country 14,000,000 bushels above
previous estimates.
Wheat show'ed a gain of about the
same size as registered in the corn mar
ket. Offerings of wheat in the local pit
were held more tightly and shorts were
In the market on the buying side. Liv
erpool showed an early gain of V* to %c,
being influenced largely by the firmer
American cables of yesterday Advices
received here were to the effot that no
damage had been done in Argentina by
the frosts reported there several days
ago.
Oat values failed to follow in Hie
course of other grains, declines of Vi* to
%c being shown in this market at the
opening. Longs were the principal sell
ers. •
Provisions were again being liqui
dated by some of the holders, and val
ues suffered declines under this selling
and the lower market for hogs at the
yards.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
NEW YORK. Aug. 13.—On reports of
showers at a number of points in central
Texas and Oklahoma, the cotton market
opened 2 to 4 points lower, except Au
gust, which showed 1 point advance
from the closing quotations of Tuesday.
A private message from New Orleans
stated that traders there expected fur
ther rains soon. However, the official
weather map only showed a few rains
and the official weather forecasts for
Oklahoma and TexL.3 was for clear
weather.
After prices had declined about 1 to 2
points from the opening a sudden buy
ing movement, led by prominent opera
tors. started the market on an upward
trend, with the results of prices show
ing a gain of 2 to 7 points over the in
itial level by noon. August, however,
was not inclined to follow the advance
and settled around 11 ^57 for a loss of 4
points from the previous close.
Liverpool reported weak cables and
accordingly sent over a range of prices
3 to 6 points lower, based on rains in
the Western belt.
It is generally believed that a contin
uance of dry weather will lead to early
deliveries of high-grade white cotton in
Texas, and on matter how dry it re
mains, this cotton will come into the
market freely until the receipts from
the eastern half of the belt become
heavy. From present conditions an
early movement is generally expected.
Private reports recently indicated a good
condition of 85 per cent of the cotton
belt west of the Mississippi River
Sentiment on the floor continues bear
ish.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “In
the wheat situation there was nothing
new presented by the trade, except that
sentiment was more friendly to the buy
ing side, because of the strength in
coarse grains and a little black-rust
talk. Corn bulls last night were con
fident of their /position, as temperatures
over the Southwest ranged from 99
to 108 without any rain, except in
Oklahoma
"Comparatively few traders regard
corn *prices as high, except for the pres
ent. as there have been numerous
years when May corn has been bought
at the prevailing level and paid a good
profit."

BFADSTREET’S VISIBLE SUPPLY.
Following shows the weekly Brad-
street’s visible supply of grain:
Wheat increased 4,269.000 bushels.
Corn increased 1.532.000 bushels.
Oats decreased 938,000 bushels.
What d’ye think? Southwest received
some rain last night, which promoted
an active selling movement at the out
set to-day.
* * *
The Government report yesterday,
stating that July was the third dryest
on record in Texas, fell flat and advices
from New Orleans that the Clarke
amendment was likely t be shelved,
failed to stir the market.
• * *
In the absence of other advices the
weakness of the late cables from Liv
erpool this morning were attributed to
the reports of rain in the Southwest.
Dallas wires: “Texas r,nd Oklahoma
generally clear and hot.”

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 13.—The
weather map shows generally cloudy
over the eastern part of Texas, with
precipitation rather general, although
light so far. Rain at Taylor, Tex.
Cloudy in Tennessee, Atlantic coast dis
tricts and central Gulf districts, with
scattered showers over Tennessee, south
Gulf States and the Aflantics. Indica
tions, are for more showery weather
over the western States and further pre
cipitation in Texas, particularly over
the eastern half of the State: partly
cloudy Central States and the Atlantics
will probably have some scatterd show
ers.
Memphis wires; “The first new bale
of the season of 1913*-14 was received

exception this Is the earliest bale on

The New Orleans Times-Demoerat
says: “Were the cotton market freed
from the menace of hostile legislation it
would probably do better now that crop
damage reports are coming in from the
west in great numbers. But, as matters
stand, the markets reflect a heavy tone
even in the presence of a more active
demand for forward export freight room.
Big crop people adhere to their belief
that the drouth affected area in the
west does not cover a great amount of
territory and that even the dry region
has produced crops in dryer years than
this.
"Nevertheless, the Weather Bureau
stresses the bad state of affairs, re
sulting from lack of moisture in Okla
homa and Texas, and the detailed re
ports from 198 Texas stations for July
show a rainfull deficiency of 1.62 Inches,
and a temperature excess of 1.2 degrees
over the July normal.
VOn the other hand, print cloths are
now quoted at 3%c, or % of a cent be
low the quotations at this time last
year., which is equal to about 2%c a
pound on raw cotton. But raw cotton
values are now very little lower than
they we*-e at this time last year. Mean
while. trade attention continues to cen
ter on the weather in the west.

Don’t Poison Baby.
F'ORTY YEAES AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
PAEEG0EI0 or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A FEW DEOPS TOO MANY win produce the SLEEP FEOM WHICH
THEEE IS NO WANING. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them poison.” The definition of “narcotic” is! “A medicine which relieves pain
and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul
sions and death. ” The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised,
and sold under the names of “Drops,” “Cordials,” “Soothing Syrups,” etc. Yon
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTOEIA DOES NOT CON
TAIN NAEC0TICS, if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
