15 The Plot For the Pennant \ Hatched by the celebrated arch-schemer of baseball fiction, Hugh S. Fullerton, is un der way in the SUNDAY AMERICAN The second installment of this enthrall ing tale will appear next Sunday with a syn opsis of what has gone before, so it is not too late to become a fiction fan. Incidentally one may read in the same issue of Lily Elsie’s Shattered Romance It’s a story of how this noted beauty de fied all superstitions which surround newly weds only to find that she just could not give up her old stage friends to please a mere husband. There will be another tale which proves that songbirds are Not Above the Law After All For it reveals the agitation of emotional ly unrestrained tenors and prima donnas who are cruelly worried by the sentencing of Carl Burrian to a month’s imprisonment for stealing another man’s wife. These are but a few of the things which go to make The Sunday American worth Ten Times The Price For it regularly contains all the news of every line—Sports, Finance, ^ocal, Tele graph and Cable, to say nothing of a hun dred other features. If you are the one per son in ten who is not a regular reader, you had better order at once and become one. From your dealer or by phone, Main 100. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

BADLY SQUEEZED Bears Hesitate on Coming Holi day, Bureau and Bullish News. Sales Light—Bulls Alive. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—In response to a sharp rise in August at New Or leans that position in New York Cot ton Exchange at the opening was 20 points higher, with other positions at a net advance of 4 to 8 points from Tuesday’s final. Sentiment was ex tremely against the market. A good many reports were In circulation, show ing deterioration in some parts of the eastern belt; also in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. The market, however, lost ground immediately after the open ing and prices shaded some 4 to 8 points from the opening. August failed to maintain the initial gain and dropped 18 points without stooping. The selling was probably based on a condition report by a prominent local spot interest, placing conditions at 73.9 per cent, against The Commercial-Ap peal’s estimate of 69.6 per cent. The bearish influence of this and indicated showers in the Western belt was offset by the bullish condition figures of the national ginners’ report of 69.5 per cent, being, 5 points under the lowest percent age given the crop this season. The ring who played for a reaction yester day looked short and ran to cover, fol lowed by aggressive buying from strong sources and there was very little for sale. Prices continued to advance, and after the call the entire list had estab lished new high levels for the present upward movement, being 14 to 16 points better than the previous close. August was apparently dormant. The rrtarket during the late forenoon w’as irregular and nervous with good support in evidence in the soft spots by brokers usually representing trade in terests. The volume of business was much smaller and hesitancy in the sell ing was shown on the part of bears be cause of the approaching holidays, fol lowed on Tuesday by the Bureau report. Private condition reports were bullish, all showing 10 to 11 points deterioration for the month. The Texas detail weather showed con tinued high temperatures and brought in a number of orders on the buying side. The market will doubtless be ner vous for the balance of the w’eek and the disposition will probably be to even up over the holidays. The situation in the Southwest be comes worse daily. At the close the market was firm with prices at a net advance of 16 to 23 points from the final quotations of Tuesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NE\Y ORLEANS, Aug. 27.—Liverpool came in about 4 points lower thap due on futures, but rallied in the last hour on the strength of our markets. Spots 3 points higher, sales 5,000 bales. Cables continue to report small busi ness. A very unfavorable report iq Texas and Oklahoma is expected by The Journal of Commerce Thursday, which together with the anticipation of a very bullish condition forecast by the Na tional Ginners, prompted fresh and vigorous buying in our markets this morning, causing an advance to 12.08 for October early in the session. Struggling August shorts endeavor ing to buy back their commitments pushed this position out of line with general values and over 1 cent above spot^values. The map shows increasing cloudiness in tbe Western States. Fair in the Central Belt; cloudy with good rains in the Coast districts and the Atlantics; some light showers in Nortlv w’est Texas. Indications are very favorable to cloudy weather and more general rains over Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas in the next three day* and unsettled showery weather coming on the Cen- eral States with continued show’ery weather in the Atlantics. The market lost the early advance when the government predictions sug gested a change in the weather west, but rallied again later on the strength in New’ York where general buying from outsiders is reported. Bullish senti ment continues to control the market. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

Wilson and Shcarson were sealding sellers Shear- son sold Mitchell 7,000 bales of Decem ber at 12.05 and then Mitchell turned around and bid for ten thousand more.

Speculative apathy throughout the season was the result. This year the sjme program has been initiated. Basic conditions, however, are different. "Last year a great deal of forward business was done early in the season, and the presence of many long hedges proved a hulw’ark of contract market strength. This year spinners have not been buying ahead in the usual volume and the demand for long hedges has been limited. When speculators began to lift the market under the influence of crop damage reports from the west, hedge sellers in the west supplied the contracts required. "Thus on the face of the returns the hedge interest is short this year, whereas, at this time last year it was long. Another fact the talent should not overlook is that this year’s cotton market starts out after two years of remarkable miH^trade activity. But the basic law of commodity market is against it.” • • • Washington advises that the weekly weather report next week will be is sued on Wednesday instead of Tues day, ow’ing to the publication of the bureau report on September 2 on the condition of the cotton crop as of Au gust 25. * * * Clement, Curtis & Co., of Chicago, make cotton condition, 69.4 per cent, against 80.7 last month. * • * Forth Worth paper says: "In spite of lack of rain, special agent production says Tarrant County will make a quar ter bale to the acre, and with rain in next ten days, many farms wdll make a half pale to the acre.—Kofler. CATERPILLARS RUINING COTTON IN DOUGHERTY ALBANY. Aug 27.—J. W. Pinson, one of the best-know’n farmers in Southwest Georgia, who operates a large farm in the Eastern part of Dougherty County, reports finding caterpillers in his cotton. Mr. Pinson stated that his cotton had deteriorated so much that it w’ould not pay him to fight the pest. The dete rioration was caused by the excessive July rains, he said. THE WEATHER. Conditions. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—The weath- re will be unsettled in the North At lantic States and showers will occur during to-night or Thursday in New’ England. In the Lake region, the Ohio Valley and t*he Middle and Southern States east of the Mississippi River, the weathei will be fair during the next 36 hours The temperature will fall to-night in New’ England and New York State and will rise slow’ly to-night and Thursday in the upper Lake region. Tempera tures will continue moderately high in the Middle Atlantic States and slightly below the seasonable average in the South Atlantic and East Gulf States. Forecast. Forecast till 8 p. m.

CINCINNATI, Aug 27.—The drouthy condition in the Southwest* have persist ed rains thus far being too light to do any good to corn and cotton. Exten sion of damage has continued. Weather has been excellent in the region of Great Lakes and adjacent States and insures the corn crop. Weather has been favorable in the Northwest for harvesting, and much of the wheat and oat crop have been gathered in North Dakota and North Minnesota. The total w’heat crop in the States of Minnesota. South and North Dakota will probably fall 100,- ■000,000 bushels under last year. This country will probably harvest a total crop of 740 000,000 bushels of wheat in round figures. This suggests a larger export capacity than previous seasons, but there are many holes to fill up in the last year plus the amount of wheat consumed on the farm on account of the failure of com and partial failure of oats in Kansas, Nebraska and South ern Illinois.
