Retail Grocers Plan to Boost
Atlanta - Made Commodities
Each Week.
Wednesday will b e “Real Atlanta
Day” if the plans or the Retail Gro
cers’ Association are carried out.
The plan is to have every retail mer
chant in the city push Atlanta-made
articles every Wednesday, the cam
paign to begin in September. Gro
cers have closed their shops Wednes
day afternoons during June, July and
August, but they propose to use that
day for pushing Atlanta-made goods
during autumn and winter.
The movement is being worked up
by the Chamber of Commerce in con
nection with the permanent exhibit of
Atlanta manufacturers.
Space for the exposition is being
taken rapidly. The committee in
charge meets every day at 1 o’clock
at Hotel Ansley.

^ ,,^ ew Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Limited forward demand on one
hand and trade belief the crop js rapid
ly deteriorating in the West on the
other, were the conflicting features in
yesterday’s cotton market, around
which were grouped several smaller is
sues of more or less moment. The
trade as a whole can see no logic in
bulling a market that Is not aceumu-
lating forward demand, even though the
pause In buying be known to be caused
by something other than lark of gen
eral requirement. Manchester has been
such a busy buyer during the past two
months that indifference there, even for
a short while, looms large in trade
eyes.
"Meanwhile, there is much contro
ls pending a little below the markpt
which would begin to figure should gen
eral rains not come to the West in
the near future, should Washington,
some fine morning announce that the
Clarke rider’ had been kicked off the
tariff hill.
"Mean while, there is much contro
versy over the weather in the West
and feeling among the talent runs
rather high. One school of» thought
contends that drouth lias done verv
serious and irreparable damage in
Oklahoma and is causing severe dete
rioration in Texas every day. These
people contend that drouth Is acute in
all save a few* of the more favored sec
tions. Another school of thought as
serts that moderate hut slightly bene
ficial rains have fallen over most of
the dry area, that the deficit in moisture
is not so great as it was last year, that
the damage done is more imaginary
than real, and that general rains are
now on the way."
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Conditions re
flecting the cotton market at the open
ing to-day were a little more bullish
than yesterday and first prices were 5
to 10 points ^gher than the dosing quo
tations of lursday. The Giels report
was regarded as moderately bullish, hut
weather conditions in the Southwest
proved another faoto r whirls encouraged
an active buying, which was attributed
chiefly to local short covering Broke's,
representing spot interests, also l. .tight.
While there was no ra*ns •. town on
the map for Texas and Ok'ahoma. s ill
reports from Dallas state that there
wpre scattered showers in several local-
• - and New Orleans wires that indi
cations point for further rains over Sun-
•’nv. However, the market fallen to
bulge from the initial high point, ex-
ceot the- most remote pos’tions wore
lowered about 2 points, hut soon re
tr’eved the decline.
During the forenoon offerings became
'-'tiff and considerah’y scattered, result-
’og in the entire list rallying 5 to 7
noipt^ from the beginning range, except
Auem-t wh’pb led steady at 12 points

the total sales as above 3.000,000
pounds; some run as high as 5.000,000.
Prices are not materially changed,
though holders are disposed to ask a
little more for good lots of unwashed
fleeces.
Large sales are noted of territory
wools, graded and in the original hags,
both cloth mills and yarns spinners
having heen among the tecent buyers.
Local holders of washed fleeces are still
asking too much for their wool. Con
siderable foreign wool has recently been
withdrawn from bond by manufactur
ers Receipts in pounds for the week

Dispatches from bankers in the West

crop in Kansas and surrounding States.

Chicago experts predict that the
country will experience next winter the
greatest shortage of beef in its history.

Minneapolis wheat stock decreased

The Chicago Inter Ocean says; "There
are many sharp traders who look for
prices to work several cents higher in
wheat. The winter wheat movement is
believed to have run its maximum for
the present, and it is expected there will
be no great pressure from hedges until
spring wheat begins to arrive freely. It
was the general belief last night that
local professionals have less long corn
than for several days, their holdings
having been taken by a new set of buy
ers. The country has taken profits on
moderate lines, but is still heavily long
with big profits and a great deal of faith
in higher prices.”

The Pioneer Press of St. Paul says:
"Professor Moore, of the University of
Wisconsin, an authority of corn, says
Wisconsin’s T913 corn crop will be worth
from $60,000,000 to $75,000,000. The 1913
product is the greatest corn crop in
years in this State. Flour stocks in the
United States and Canada. August 1. as
compiled by The Dally Trade Bulletin,
were 2.081.000 barrels, against 2.126,000
barrels July 1, and 1,963,000 August 1
last year.”

From looks of the map it seems as
though there was a possibility of frost
in the Canadian Northwest shortly.
Many people have intimations of such
a possibility.

Still “put a sign in the window” when
they have Rooms to Rent or Want
Boarders, but the number of such
people is constantly diminishing. In
these modern times, when there are
Rooms to rent or Boarders wanted, in
hundreds of Atlanta Homes, the Want
Ad columns of THE ATLANTA
GEORGIAN are used. The “Fur
nished Rooms For Rent,” “Rooms For
Rent” and “Boarders Wanted” columns
of The Georgian offer the best way to
bring together those in search of the
