r THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 15 1 Southern Hedge Selling in Late Session Helps Decline—Crop News Bullish-Cables Weak. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—At the open ing of the cotton market to-day juices were 13 to 21 points lower as the re sult of profit taking on yesterday s 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 ofT 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 ami 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 falling over themselves to clean up in the quickest jx>ssible 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 beNooked for. Advices from Texas stated that some improvement is neces sary if Texas is to produce over 4,000,- 000 bales. All of these 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.

I^ast year and year before last spinners the world over held forward commit ments in such great numbers that In terior cotton buyers, exporters on this side and importers abroad, were kept constantly engaged in transferring the bales from the field to the factories. T nder such conditions, speculative shorts never had a chance. Two years ago, several million bales for delivery in 1911-1912, 1912-1913 and in later sea sons ranging up to 1920, were purchased h.v spinners around 9c and 10c per pound for middling. In the course of time such interest showed a profit and long ago it was reported that spinners had realized on their contracts calling for delivery after the season of 1912-1913, in some cases making a profit of $10 a bale, ihey also, as a rule, made splendid prof its on their mill operations during the two seasons just j>ast, consumption of raw- cotton in twenty-four months ex- ceedjng previous records by hundreds of thousands of bales."' Professional Element Liquidate in Order to Work Prices Low er So the Public Can Buy. HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4 —What con tributed most to the frantic advance of 50 points yesterday was the allusion made in the weekly weather report to drouth damage east 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 apd 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 bell. 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 oj>erators to fur ther bull the market, but considerable selling by the spot houses. On the whole, trading Is quieter, the market less one-sided and conservative opinion fa vors a halt to deevlop a stronger spot demand and spot prices to come up. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

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 tha 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 croj) continues to suffer from heat and drouth over large areas, filling poorlv, 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- » vested 75.2 per cent, against 75.3 on Au- ’ gust 1. This would indicate a crop of about 241,000.000 bushels, but such threshing as has been done shows the yield is running fully one bushel above the indication, so that final official es timate of at least 260,000,000 bushels mav be anticipated. Thrashing returns to date warrant the belief that Minnesota and the Dakotas will finally be credited with 190,000.000 bushels. Prellminarv i e 03 U 0 r M0,000 O bush n e '/i Cttte a CfUP ° f ab ° Ut Augusta May Call Election for Bonds AUGUSTA, Sept. 4.—It is probable that Augusta will have another bond issue within the next year or two. The new city hospitals will cost $400,000 and the bond issue passed last year for them provided for only $150,000, The levee bond issue last year was for $1,000,000, and the levee will cost $1,600,000. It can thus be seen tnat the city will probably be forced to have an other bond issue of $1,000,090 Deforo these improvements can be completed. OBITUARY.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "The short interest in corn has been cut down, but is still large. j>articularly 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 exjie- 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 he warranted by the condition. The general belief is that wdth corn and oats advancing, wheat prices should do better. "Cash interests in the East are tak ing delivery on September oats here anq expect to ship them out. One of tlie large cash handlers said they had the best business of the seasorw yesterday.
