TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. II 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.

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.” ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.

The market had advanced cents within a week, and is the iest in years at this season, at the e time the trade has never expe- red a season of such general drouth over the couhtry as has been the past thirty days and the e of corn appears to be warranted the condition.

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. STOCKS GRAIN CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—An advance of % to %d in the Liverpool market, due to higher prices for American and Cana dian wheat, led to higher prices on the, Board of Trade here during the early' trading to-day, the outside figures showing an advance of % to %e. Argentina shipments were estimated at 400.000 bushels. Weather conditions in the Northwest were less favorable for thrashing. Corn was firmer, the outside price being % to %c higher. Oats followed corn. Provisions showed a firmer tone in sympathy with hogs. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Grain quotations to noon: Prevlout High. Low. Close. Close.

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 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 hoys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn est ly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile man will be 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.
