Renewed Bull Support Checks
Early Dip—Drouth Continues,

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Both old crop consumption and
new crop condition played into the hands
of the bulls, and the market mounted
with ease until the New Orleans March
delivery had reached and passed 13
cents. The Government reported a con
dition for Oklahoma of only 45 per cent
of normal.
“The consensus of opinion was that
the local shorts had lost more money
than the longs had made.
"In spite of the fact that spinners had
been buying prompt shipment cotton in
liberal way and have not beeh buying
forward supplies in normal volume for
futures are now well above spots. In
other words, speculative buying, not
trade purchases, caused thp advance.
Consequently, the bulk of the contract
long interest must now be held for the
account of speculators who made their
purchases in anticipation of large re
quirement and a moderate raw cotton
supply during the season of 1913-14."

Mayor ‘Scared’ When
Flashlight Explodes
Mayor Woodward, his secretary,
frank Hammond, and several visitors
in his office at the City Hall had a bad
scare Wednesday morning, caused by a
loud explosion. They stated afterward
that every one of them thought some
body had been shot. Cautiously they
|oowed in one room after another, fear
increasing at every turn, until thev
reached the health office.
There they found the cause of all the
excitement was the explosion of a flash
light by a newspaper photographer
snapping city doctors vaccinating school
children.
Wants Augusta to
Build Light Plant
AUGUSTA, Sept. 3.—Characterizing
the present lighting system as inferior
and alleging that the city is paying for
service that it does not get, Councilman
T. W. Pilcher, of the Third Ward, has
gone before City Council with a reso
lution providing that a committee be
appointed to investigate the cost of
erecting a municipal lighting plant.
Mr. Pilcher says the *40.000 p«»r year
the city now spends for lights would pay
four per cent interest on $1,000,000 of
bonds.

that there was a slight deficiency in

The lowest mean temperature, 72 de

cember both crossed the 13-cent level,
hut fell below it later because of exten
sive profit-taking by longs and .those
who purchased at yesterday’s high point
and at the end of the first half an hour
prices had shown recessions aggregating
13 to 17 points from the initial range.
Local bulls determined to push prices
well over the n cent mark right after
the selling wave, when they claimed the
Texas showers had come too late to be
of any benefit to the crop and that the
attitude of spinners now is of more
importance "than any weather situation.
This resulted In general short covering
and heavy buying by spot houses. In
addition to this there was considerable
speculative demand and prices continued

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3 —Very little
precipitation was shown on the w'eather
map to-day, except in parts of the Caro-
linas, which are under the influence of
a storm formation bordering on the
South Atlantic coast. Indications are
for increasing cloudiness generally,
showers becoming more extended in the
Western territory; also probably heavy
rains in the Atlantic coast districts.
Cooler in the northeastern quarter of
the belt.
Developments are making for more
general rains West within a few days.
Liverpool was excited with futures at
one time 21 points higher. Spots 34
points higher. Our market advanced
about 10 points in the early trading,
but support from leaders was lacking
and futures being so much over spots
brought about large hedge selling, re
sulting in a good reaction to 12.82 for
October. Thirteen cents at the start of
the season calls for proper hacking by
spot developments. There is, therefore,
some hesitation until spot prices ad
vance. Feeling, however, is now gener
ally bullish and there is more inquiry
for shipments from Europe, mainly due
to the easier basis and good hedge op
portunity with high futures.
New ork turned into an active bull
market soon after the close of Liver
pool and prices have followed rapidly
on smaTT buying, December selling at
13.11. There, is no opposition to the ad
vance and to the bullish spirit. Unfa
vorable reports of shedding, owing to
insufficient rainfall, are lately on the
increase from the Central States.

so advanced by those bullish on oais.
Corn traders say corn is too high to buy
at present, hut their places have been
taken by n large number of traders from
the wheat pit who are operating on con
ditions, regardless of prices. The short

Bartlett-Frazier Co. say: "Wheat—
We feel that more general interest will
soon develop and a period of activity
ensue which will result in higher prices.
