COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—At the open-
Inc of tho cotton market to-day prices
ware IS to 21 points lower us 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
tills demand represented overnight buy
ing orders and wehn it bad been sup
plied the list eased off 1 to 5 points
injder the opening quotations, but the
nfkrket swallowed up the offerings and
prloes 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 hull for every
hale 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
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 hales. -All of those reports is caus
ing considerable nervousness here and
in foreign circles.

The New Orleans Time»-Democrat
says: “Men who. during two years have
>een consistently bullish on the value
>f cotton, now stand amazed before the
blackboards that record a price gain of
112.50 a bale in a half month's time,
[vast vear and year before last spinners
he world over held forward eommit-
uents in such great numbers that in-
erior cotton buyers, exporters on this
dde and Importers abroad, were kept
ronstantlv engaged in transferring the
bales from the field to the factories.
Under such conditions, speculative
ihorts never had a chance. Two years
ig<> several million bales for delivery
n 1911-1912, 1912-1913 and in later sea-
ions ranging up to 1920, were purchased
by spinners around 9c and 10c per pound
'or middling. In the course of time such
nterest showed a profit and long ago it
vas reported that spinners had realized
>n their contracts calling for delivery
ifter the season of 1912-1913, In some
•ase.s making a profit of $10 a hale.
They also, as a rule, made splendid prof-
ts on their mill operations during the
wo seasons just past, consumption of
•aw cotton in twenty-four months ex
ceeding previous records by hundreds
if thousands of bales.”

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
8400,000 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 coat $1,600,000.
It can thus be seen that trie city
will probably be forced to have an
other bond issue of $1,000,000 before
these improvements can oe completed.

to %d in the Liverpool market, due to
higher prices for American and Cana

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, Misterf’ 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 each 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 would 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 fut ure.
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 grown-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 won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
