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.

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. Stock quotations: STOCK— High. I/OW Clo*. PM. Prev. Close. Amal. Copper. 76% 75% 75% 76 Am. Agricul.. 40% 43% Am.

"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.’’ LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Corn—It is rather difficult to see what Is going to cause any setback of mo ment, but it possibly would be wise to be a little cautious about buying on bulges. "Oats—The market Is largely under the influence of other grains, but liqui dation seems to have been pretty well accomplished.” BAR SILVER.

LOWRY NATIONAL BANK Capital $1,000,000 Surplus $1,000,000 Savings Department Safe Deposit Ecxss 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.
