Summary of Weekly
Weather Is Bullish
WASHINGTON, Aug 19.—There were
small areas with more than 2 Inches
of rainfall In some of the central and
eastern cotton-growing States. The
greatest weekly precipitation, 4.43
Inches, occurred at New Orleans, and
there was 4 20 Inches at Rome, Ga.
Mean- temperatures were above normal,
exccpl that there was a deficiency in
thr, central and eastern portions of
North Carolina, Northeastern South
Carolina, Southern Georgia, the cen
tral portion of Northern Florida, the
greater portion of Louisiana and the
extreme southeastern portion of Eastern
Texas.
The greatest excess In temperatures
was 7 to 9 degrees In Oklahoma and
Northwestern Arkansas. The deficien
cies in temperatures were slight.
Weekly mean temperatures ranged
from 72 to 82 degrees over the eastern,
from 80 to 84 degrees over the central,
and from 82 to 86 degrees over the west
ern portion of the cotton region. The
lowest mean temperature, 72 degrees,
occurred at Asheville, N. C., and the
highest, 86, occurred In Oklahoma,
Northwestern Arkansas and Northern
and Western Texas. The precipitation
was light over the greater portion of
the cotton region, and there was con
siderable areas in the western portion
and small areas in other portions where
there was no precipitation.
By states:
Georgia — Temperatures continued
above the normal, but weather was oool-
er toward the close of the week. Light
showers occurred from the 14th to 16th,
but the amounts were irregularly dis
tributed and below normal. The sun
shine was ample and conditions were
generally favorable.
Mississippi—r-The mean temperature
averaged slightly above normal. Show
ers occurred every day except Sunday,
but mostly in the southern portion.
The rainfall Is still Insufficient at many
points In the northern and central por
tions of the State. Sunshine was am
ple.
Arkansas—Weather was moderately
warm in the eastern, but unusually hot
In the western district. Sunshine was
above normal. Light, scattered and
beneficial showers occurred over 50 per
cent of the State, but rain is needed
in some localities.
Texas—Temperatures were moderate
along the coast, but exceeded the nor
mal elsewhere. Local showers occurred
on several days, three-fifths of the re
porting stations receiving moisture.
Good amounts of precipitation occurred
in several of the central and southern
counties, but elsewhere the amounts
were too light to be of much benefit,
and more rain is needed. The sunshine
was abundant.
Oklahoma—Weather was intensely
hot during the week. Scattered thun
dershowers which occurred did not re
lieve the serious drouth.
Alabama—The temperature averaged
2 to 6 degrees above normal during the
'first and middle parts of the week and
was nearly normal at the close of the
week. Widely scattered showers oc
curred, but the precipitation was un
evenly distributed and generally there
was a considerable deficiency. There
was no rain at many stations. Bun-
shine was abundant.
South Carolina—Nearly normal tem
perature and sunshine prevailed More
rain over the greater portion of the
State would be beneficial.
North Carolina—The temperature was
below normal In the eastern and slightly
above in the western portion of the
State. Day temperatures were moder
ate and the nights oool. Cloudy and
showery weather prevailed in the first
three days, followed by dear the re
malnder of the week, except that light
showers occurred throughout the week
in the extreme western portion of the
Stat Sun ample.
Tennessee—High temperatures con
tinued. The weather was generally fair,
except that scattered showers relieved
drouthy conditions in a few localities.
Rain is needed generally. •

daily, being locally heavy in portions
of the peninsula. The rainfall was fair
ly well distributed, except in some of the
east coast counties, where drouth pre
vailed. Temperature was near normal.

Liverpool and Shorts Big Buyers
on Western Weather Condi
tions—Bears Cautious.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Cables from
Liverpool were surprisingly strong to
day, with the result that prices were 5
to 15 points higher than the closing
quotations of Monday. The Mexican
“war scare” did not result in any pres
sure. This, coupled with the absence
of rains in the western belt of any oon-
sequence and the Dallas wire of hot and
clear weather, encouraged sufficient
buying to send prices still higher.
Trading was active and shorts appeared
to be nervous over prospects for a
bullish weekly crop report oovering
Texas and Oklahoma
The feeling is still mors bullish in
the absence of rains in the western
belt and the bull forces were Inclined
to predict higher prices. Liverpool was
said to be a good buyer in this mar
ket; also spot interests.
During the forenoon the market dis
played an Inflexible tone. Offerings
were extremely light and scattered, re
sulting in prices increasing the advance
12 to 16 points from the previous close.
August at the opening showed the
largest gain, but later settled around
11.67, against an opening of 11.70.
The detailed weather for Texas and
the weekly weather report, which was
construed as bullish brought out buying
and a few points rally followed. Those
who are advocating the bull side are
advising friends to buy at the present
level.
The bearish element are awaiting fur
ther developments in the western belt
and as soon as there are signs of good
rains it is very likely there will be some
good selling.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices at a net advance of 5 to
20 points from the closing quotations
of Monday.

BETTER TRADE IN DRYGOODS
THIS YEAR THAN YEAR AGO
Marshall Field & Co, In their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say.
Buyers have been in the dry goods
market this week in much larger num
bers than during the same period a
year ago. Merchants are ordering for
ward their fail lines and filling in their
stocks thoughout all departments. Buy
ing has proceeded with precaution in
individual cases, but retailers generally
are so much In need of merchandise for
immediate requirements- that the total
volume of shipments is keeping up re
markably well.
"Much needed rains have nrlghtened
the prospects for a good fall business
in a large portion of the territory that
was feeling the drouth.
“Silks are a big item of the trade at
present and practically all buyers in the
market are placing orders for this class
of merchandise in liberal quantities.
“Judging from the extraordinary de
mand that has developed and in view
of the serious labor troubles that have
prevailed for some time in the silk in
dustry, there will be a scarcity of all
kinds of silks before the season is far
advanced.
“The sale of black silks has improved
greatly within the last few weeks.

Splendid Bill st Forsyth.
Willie Weston, Grace iDeMar and
Toots Paka and her Hawaiian musi
cians are running a dead heat for first
honors in the fine vaudeville offering at
the Forsyth this week. First-nighters
found it hard to pick the winner.
The Hawaiian musicians repeat the
big hit they made on their previous
visit to Atlanta. The guitar playing of
one of the men brings down the house
and Miss Paka’s “hula hula” dance wins
a big hand. The weird native songs
are exceptionally pleasing.
Willie Weston, in a class by himself
as a character singer, has new songs
this year, and his act goes big. He was
assisted at the piano by Howard Win-
burn, the Atlanta pianist; Mike Bernard,
Weston’s regular partner, being ill.
Miss DeMar, who sings well some
songs that are full of “pep” to say the
least, and captures the gallery in her
last number when she exhibits a very
Shapely figure in tights.
The other acts on the bill are above
the average In quality. Kennedy and
Rooney have a skit that keeps tne au
dience chuckling; Foster and Lovell win
favor with songs and nonsense; the
Nikko troupe of aorobata have a Japan
ese who walks up and down stairs on
his head as an added feature, and the
Pathe pictures are unusually interest
ing.
Wsr Picture at the Grand.
Interesting light Is thrown on the
threatening Mexican situation by a re
markable motion picture, “Victory,” at
the Grand Theater this week. While the
scene would fit any Spanlsh-Amerlcan
country, the acute oonditions in Mexico
Immediately suggest that country, and
the analogy Is stronger still when the
President of the Republic is* assassi
nated and the crux of the drama de
velops #ith an attack on the United
States battleship Utah.
Woven through the play is the love
drama of a young United States naval
lieutenant and the daughter of the
United States Ambassador. All modem
Implements of warfare, Including the
hydroplane and the wireless, are dem
onstrated in action, and stirring battles
are fought. The picture was made
through a special permission and co
operation of the United States Navy
Department.

HAYWARD A CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 19.—The map
shows a rather general rainfall over the
southern half of Texas during the past
24 hours, but generally light, except at
Beevllle and Luling. None In the north
ern half or In Oklahoma; part cloudy
in southern Arkansas, west Tennessee
and the Texas coast. Generally fair
elsewhere; no rain^, Indications are for
part cloudy with probably some scat
tered showers In the Western States;
cooler In the northern half of the belt;
generally fair weather with moderate
temperatures over the eastern half of
the belt is favorable, as an excess of
rain was feared.
Liverpool came in stronger than ex
pected and quoted spots 4 points higher;
sales, 8,000 bales. Cables report Russia
and the continent buying. Political
news is less favorable. London says
that a third war in the Balkans seems
near, as Turkey is apparently making
preparations to move against Bulgaria.
Galveston freight people report an ex
cess of steamer room over the demand,
and room engaged during the summer
being relet, offered or to let as the de
mand Is not up to anticipations. This
is confirmed In a way by the Galveston
and Houston receipts being lighter than
last year, particularly to-day, although
picking and ginning are known to be
in active operation over a large part of
Texas.
Our market opened about 10 points
higher and ruled oulet but steady at the
advance, waiting for the weekly weather
report, which Is epected will be un
favorable on the Western States.
Unfavorable reports on north Texas
and Oklahoma, owing to insuffi
cient ralrlTall, are also expected In the
next few days from parties who are
now traveling in that section to Inspect
the crop, and the opinion has generally
settled to the anticipation of a bullish
September bureau showing 4 to 6 points
decline in conditions.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. lft.—Hayward
A Clark: The weather map shows partly
cloudy in Southern Arkansas, West Ten
nessee and Texas coast. Generally fair
elsewhere. Lighter but rather general
precipitation over southern half of Tex
as None shown by the map in the
northern half, or Oklahoma. Indica
tions are for partly cloudy to further
showers over the western States; also
Arkansas and. Tennessee. Cooler weath
er generally in northern half of the
belt.

Report here from Galveston freight
agents says freight room engaged dur

The New Orleans Time*-Democrat
says; “Showers fell in Texas and
Oklahoma Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day. and while general good rains are
needed, the talent is now convinced
that some relief has come to the drouth
a fTec ted areas. This, in oonj unction
with the favorable crop reports received
from Arkansas. Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia. Tennessee and the
Carolina*, caused the cotton market to
ease off a bit Oklahoma now seems
to be in worse condition than any of
the cotton-growing Stat?*, as a result
of long continued dry weather.
“Texas, on the other hand, has suf
fered In part only, and certain sections
there seem to be doing very well. Tex
ars themselves say the boll weevil has
done some damage In the southwestern
portion of the State, but the recent dry
weather has put an end to the progress
of such damage on the west. The
chronic crop killer seems to have failed
in his attempts to reduce the crop
promise to relatively small provisions,
and for this reason the talent is now
talking big crop and moderate trade
prospeots with a great deal of energy.
In all of which demand for distant de
livery and the causes thereof are play
ing a leading role. No general rains
are in sight, but the weather bureau
promises normal temperatures and
showers during the next six days, from
which the west may derive some fur
ther relief in the near future.”
By CHAS. W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug 19 —As a result of
the report from Mexico City that Presi
dent Huerta had delivered an ultimatum
to the United States which might re
sult in war. the stock market was very
weak at the opening to-day and prices
were lower.
United States oommon declined 1%.
Canadian Pacific eluntped to 217% for a
loss of 2% points. Reading declined to
159% for the loss of 1%. Mexican Pe-*
troleum was under pressure, yielding 1
point. Union Pacific lost 1%. Northern
Pacific shaded 1.
The selling at the start waj general.
Investors as well as speculators seemed
to be dumping their holdings. At the
end of 45 minutes a better tone pre
vailed, as Washington dispatches
seemed to put a more optimistic com :
plexion on the Mexican situation.
^mont the other losses were Amal
gamated Copper %,Chesapeake and Ohio
Chino Copper %, Erie %, Pennsyl
vania Railroad %.
Americana In Lopdon were under pres-
slve properties on the Mexican border,
sold off 2 points.
The curb was weak.
American in London were under pres
sure and were weak and irregular.
American dispatches received in Lon
don before the opening of ttfe New York
market causer heavy selling of United
States securities.
The situation between Mexico and this
government attracted attention and for
a time exercised a disturbing influence
with many of the important stocks sus
taining further losses.
Copper declined %. selling at 78%
Union Paclflo also declined %, and the
other railways were on the declining
side. Reading unchanged; other Issues
down from a fraction to over a point
At the close of the forenoon the tone
became steadier. Call money loaned
at 2%.
Stocks hi the lost hour generally sold
under the’ opening. Amalgamated Cop
ier lost 2% on the day. while Steel was
% under Monday’s flnp.l. Reading held
comparatively firm, selling around 160.
Pennsylvania Railroad was under pres
sure, falling to 111 for the loss of 2% on
the day. Southern Paoifio sold at 91%,
where it had ruled nearly all day. The
tone was depressed.
The market closed dull.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds firm.
**The Mexican and foreign situation
may unsettle the market temporarily,
but it Is generally believed that the
Mexican affair will be adjusted without
any serious trouble. On weak spots
think stocks like Union Paclflo, Copper,
Steel and St. Paul should be accumu
lated conservatively."—G. D. Potter.

The Now York Financial Bureau says:
"Foreign news Indicates that the situa
tion between Turkey and Bulgaria is
critical. Fears are entertained that an
advance upon the whole of Bulgaria is
about to begin. On this news the Lon
don market is disposed to realize on
stocks.
"Information channels continue to he
conservatively friendly on the stock
market, according to the outgivings
from various well informed sources. We
would look for fair buying opportunities
with the intention to accept moderate
profits."

The application made by the Texas
Company to the New York Stock Ex
change for the listing of its $3,000,000
additional stock and $2,000,000 6% con
vertible debenture bonds, is the final
step in the transfer of the Producers
Oil Company to the Texas Company.
Under the terms of the exchange the
stockholders of ths Producers Company
received one share of Texas Company
■took for each share held; and one de
benture bond for each Producers bond
held.
The application to list $3,000,000 bonds
explains the increase in the company’s
debentures from $12,000,000 to $14,000,-
000, as shown in the balance sheet as
of June 30, 1913.

"We are still of the ©pinion that stocks
will sell higher before there is any de
cline of consequence, and feel that the
standard issues should be conservatively
accumulated."—G. D. Potter.

BAR SILVER.
LONDON, Aug. 19.—Bar silver steady
at 27 %d.
The total stock of contract corn in
public elevators Saturday night wa.4
only 252.000 bushels, of which 37.464
bushels was No. 2 mixed corn, the bal
ance being No. 2 yellow and No. 2 white,
which brings a premium over No. 2
mixed. This does not look very good
for shorts in September corn.—Rycroft.

Omaha says: “Burlington report out
to-day gives corn damage in Beatrict
territory at 75 «per cent. The Lincoln
territory is summarized as follows: The
past week has been the ruination of
the corn crop in the South Platte ter
ritory. North Platte territory com 14
in good condition, cQnslderlng the
weather, owing to opportune rains:
damage running from 10 to 25 per cent.’*
Bartlett. Frazier A Co. says: “The
weather map shows more rain In the
Northwest, temperatures being season
able. We are inclined to look for a
steady, firm market to-day.
“Corn—There was some precipitation
In Wyoming and north Illinois, none in
the southwest. We expect a trading
market and advise purchases on all dips.
"Oats—Market is active and very
steady, with a good class of buying on
the depressions.
“Provisions—The market showed *
very good tone. We look for a gradually
higher market"
