THE ATI A NT A CIFOROrAN AND NEWS. n More Cotton Ginned to Sept. 1, Than in 1911 STOCKS GRAIN WASHINGTON. Sept. 8.—A cotton re port issued to-day by the Census Bu reau shows 794,006 bales, counting round as half bales, ginned from the growth of 1913 to September 1, compared with 730,933 for 1912, 771.297 for 1911 and 353.011 for 1910 Hound bales included this year are 7,584, com pared with 7,434 for 1912, 7.709 for 1911 and 10,976 for 1910 Sea Island included 430 for 1913, 232 for 1912 546 for 1911 and 218 for 1910.

S. .. 794,006 730.935 771,297 COTTON NEW YORK $ept. 8.—As a result of an announcement from Washington that the Senate bill taxing cotton futures 50 cents a bale would not be effective for a year, coupled with much better ca bles than expected, commission houses were overwhelmed with buying orders over Sunday and the market to-day was up 24 to 44 points in consequence. Weather and crop dispatches were prac tically ignored in view’ of the news from Washington. The feeling was that for a time, at least, the market would be governed as much by Washington news as by crop conditions. The census report, giving the number of bales of cotton ginned to September 1 at 794,006, as compared with 730,935 last year and 771,297 bales for the same time in 1911, had little or no effect and fell flat on the market. After prices had increased their gain about 7 points from the opening an active selling move ment developed, which was believed to represent profit-taking by longs. The ring also sold. The late weather map. showing good rains in Texas, with in dications pointing to showery weather over the larger part of the cotton belt and cooler in the northern third of the belt, was responsible for the selling.

Logan & Bryan: We will likely have further temporary depreciation In val ue* Miller & Co.: Washington will no doubt make the market until the fate of the Clarke tax bill has been deter mined. Underlying conditions are bull ish, however. Grain Notes Bartlett-Frazier Co. say: "Wheat— We will probably have a somewhat lower market to day, but do not look for any material break. "Corn—The effort made Friday and Saturday to depress prices will no doubt continue -otday, but we believe corn should be bought on all such depres sions, as we are confident of very much higher prices. “Oats—Prefer long side on weak spots." Missouri State report issued Saturday makes the condition of corn 41.8 per cent, against 70 last month and 87 last year, when crop was 243,000,000 bushels. Twenty per cent of crop is cut Wheat ground plowed. 30 per cent, against 44 per cent last year. Lack of rain pre vents further plowing.

Sept. 8.—Vigorous buy ing of the copper stocks made that group the most prominent feature of the early trading on the stock market to-day. Amalgamated showed an initial gain ol %, with sales at 78% and advances of about half a point were made in Smelt ing, Chino and Tennessee Copper. Most of the buying was based on the expectation that a substantial decrease in The stock of metal on hand will be shown in the copper producers’ state ment to be issued later in the day.

Buy wheat and corn on weakness.—New York Financial Bureau. • * * Copper metal is running short in Eu rope and the price is steadily advanc ing. Cables stated that there is no ■copper left for September delivery in London and little for October delivery. On this shortage of the metal the price went to the equivalent of 16% cents. Amalgamated shares rose sharply on the news. Confidence in the ability of the company to continue the payment of 6 per cent dividends is greatly strength ened by the sharp rise in the price of copper and that was the basis of the advance in the price of the stock. IMMEDIATE DELIVERIES OF DRY GOODS WANTED Marshall Field & Co., in their weekly review of the dry goods trade, says: "Interest in the dry goods trade cen ters principally on immediate busi ness. The extreme hot weather of the early part of the week interrupted fall business somewhat, but the cooler days following brought a large number of buyers into the market. Road sales show a fair increase over the corre sponding period a year ago. “The cotton goods market has been excited on account of the advance in the price of raw cotton, due to the severe drouth in certain cotton-growing States as reported by the Government. This, together with the known scarcity of merchandise, is causing retailers to place orders on domestics freely for their current wants. “The sale of silks for the fall trade indicates that this is going to be one of the best silk seasons for a number of years. A condition exists in the silk industry that has not been duplicated in the history of the business. A short crop of silk is reported in Japan and Italy, there is a scarcity of manufac tured lines on hand and prices are ad vancing steadily." THE WEATHER. Conditions. WASHINGTON.

CHICAGO, Sept. 8—Corn had an ir regular range, the weakness in wheat offsetting to some extent the continued dry and hot weather over the corn belt the past 48 hours, but tempera tures were somewhat lower.

If you prefer village life, the smaller towns in Georgia offer every inducement. If you prefer country or farm life, Georgia offers greater inducements than any State in the Union. Georgia lands work the year round, from two to five crops being gath ered off of the same land each year—crops that are profitable. Climate and Soil i—: The climate is such that far mers do not have to house stock during the winter, there being good grazingtheentire year. For raising cattle and stock Georgia offers greater inducements than can be found elsewhere. The soil is suited for almost anything that grows and can be utilized the entire year. The prices at which good farm land can be purchased at present in Georgia are so low that it is a matter of comment — some thinking that the land is not so good as stated. The land is good, but there are thousands of acres that are now lying idle and the good people of Georgia are anxious for good farmerstocomeamongthem. Consequently the land is cheaper here than elsewhere.

These Cer tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all raeesand events to be held in the near future. Pedalmobile Clubs are to he 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, hut can be put to good use in many different ways. In some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen distributing their paper’s in them.
