NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—At the open
ing of the cotton market to-day prices
were 13 to 21 points lower as the re
sult of profit taking on yesterday'*
bulge. The loss showed no signs of
weakness as Wall Street houses began
to buy. It soon became evident that
this demand represented overnight buy
ing orders and when it had been sup
plied the list eased off 1 to 5 points
under the opening quotations, but the
market swallowed up the offerings and
prices shot up in a jiffy when offerings
became extremely light and scattered
Spot houses were the principal buyers
and the ring came in buying right 'and
left and at the end of the first hour
prices were unchanged to 1 point under
the previous close.
Everybody turned bullish and it
looks as if there is a bull for every
bale the farmers will produce the com
ing season. It looks, too, that they will
have the crop bought within the next
few days. It has been quite a while
since they have had a slice of pie, con
sequently they have been fading over
themselves to clean up in the quickest
possible time.
The map showed some scattered rains
over Texas and various sections of the
belt, but bullish dispatches kept coming
in from the Southwest. These unfa
vorable reports are becoming more nu
merous from Alabama and Arkansas
also. A Southern authority stated that
the condition over Oklahoma is irre
parable and nothing but a small crop
can be looked for. Advices from Texas
stated that some improvement is neces
sary if Texas is to produce over 4.000,-
000 bales. All of Jhese reports is caus
ing considerable nervousness here and
in foreign circles.
Every option on the list fell below the
13c level during the afternoon session.
October dropped to 12.96, December
12.95 and January 12.87. Trading was
light, however, and market operations
were considerably mixed. The renewal
of the early realizing and further
Southern selling was based on a report
from New Orleans that spots are being
offered at October price. The market
continued exceedingly nervous through
out the late trading.
At the close \he market was steady,
with prices at a net advance of 19 to
23 points from the final quotations of
Wednesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4. What con
tributed most to the frantic advance of
HO points yesterday was the allusion
made In the weekly weather report to
drouth damage cast of the river, and the
Government forecast of fair weather for
Mississippi, Alabama and most of the
Atlantics. Instead, however, there was
a general rainfall overnight east of the
river, and also in the southern half of
Texas, with some good rains in Alabama
ami the Atlantics. Indications are for
further and heavier rains in Mississip
pi, Alabama and the Atlantics, also East
Tennessee, and indications are favora
ble to unsettled, showery weather over
the rest of the belt.
These general rains east of the river
are of great importance and benefit to
the crop.
Liverpool came in very poor, with fu
tures as much as 14 points lower than
due; spots unchanged. Our market lost
about 12 points in the early trading, but
met with a general demand, reflecting
the prevailing bullish feeling, and the
loss was soon recovered. Anticipation of
an unfavorable report on Arkansas by
a traveling crop observer caused buy
ing. as also a local rainstorm formation
over North Georgia, where rain is not
needed. New York reported attempts
by certain prominent operators to fur
ther bull the market, but considerable
Belling by the spot houses. On the
whole, trading is quieter, the market jess
one-sided and conservative opinion fa
vors a halt to deevlop a stronger spot
demand and spot prices to come up.

CHI' • • 4. B: W Snow's re
port for September 1 makes condition of
corn 64.8, against 75.1 per cent August 1.
Figured in accordance with the Govern
ment method, this would indicate a crop
of about 2,359.000,000 bushels, on the
basis of the original Snow estimate of
acreage.
The official indication tnis month is
likely to be not far from 2,300,000,000
bushels. Present condition in Ohio is 78
per cent, or a loss of 11 points for the
month; Indiana 75, loss 6: Illinois 60. loss
11 Iowa 75, loss 12; Missouri 45, loss
28; Kansas 12, loss 18; Nebraska 50, loss
29. In the six States of secondary im
portance, the September condition is:
Texas 70, Tennessee 65, Kentucky 62,
Minnesota 93, South Dakota 85. The
crop continues to suffer from heat and
drouth over large areas, filling poorly,
drying up prematurely and husking and
is likely to reveal further disappointment
in yield as well as quality.
Further shrinkage to the final valume
of the estimated crop will occur through
the elimination of several million acres,
which have been abandoned entirely so
far as harvesting any corn is concerned.
Condition of spring wheat when har-
75.2 per cent, against 75.3 on \i-
This would indicate a crop of
aroui 241.000.000 bushels, but such
threshing as has been done shows the
vleld is running fully one bushel above
the indication, so that final official es
timate of at least 260.000,000 bushels may
be anticipated. Thrashing returns to
date warrant the belief that Minnesota
and the Dakotas will finally be credited
with 190.000,000 bushels. Preliminary
returns of oats indicate a crop of about
1,030,000,000 bushels.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says.
"The short interest in corn has been cut
dow’n, but is still large, particularly in
September. The market had advanced
five cents within a week, and is the
highest in years at this season, at the
same time the trade has never expe
rienced a season of such general drouth
all over the country as. has been
in the past thirty days and the
price of corn appears to be warranted
by the condition. The general belief
is* that with corn and oats advancing,
wheat prices should do belter.
"Cash interests In the FZast are tak
ing delivery on September oats here and
expect to ship them out.. One of the
large cash handlers said they had the
best business of the season, yesterday.
Bulls predict that the September move
ment from the farms will be disap
pointing.’’

Corn—It is rather difficult to see what

Enthusiasm IsRunningHigh
In Pedalmobile Contest
“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to eaeh boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It w T ould only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the growm-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have w*on Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enough to win one.
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will he glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile.
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
