COTTON NEW YORK, Sopt. 11.—At the open ing of the cotton market to-day there was a buying wave and first prices were at a net advance of 7 to IS points from Wednesday’s final. The buying came from the same Interests which supported the list yesterday, which Included some of the larger spot houses. Cables, while better than due, did not Justify the upturn. Reports from Galveston re ported damage to the southwestern belt from heavy rains. This was partly re sponsible for the buying movement. After the list had increased its initial gain 1 to 3 points, an unexpected sell ing wave, led by the ring, based on the uncertainty in Washington and a Liver pool cable stating that the situation at Manchester is getting worse and the general feeling is blue. After the call the list was under profit-taking on the early bulge and prices sueffred a decline of 8 to 13 points from the opening range, but Immediate ly rallied through active buying from strong sources. The volume of trading was of a light character. New Orleans was reported a buyer in this market, while a certain firm with Mejprphis connection also bought. The feeling is against the market, however, and lower prices are predicted. Spot sales In Liverpool, how ever. continue heavy, thereby leading a stable undertone to the market, which made the bear element hesitate to push their tactics far enough to cause any drastic decline. The former aggres siveness of the bulls was conspicuous by its absence. They seemed to have stepped aside for the movement, prob ably with the end in view of allowing a short interest to accumulate and prices to sag to an attractive enough level, upon which they might replace their lines recently sold out. The present legislation in Washington is restricting trading to a great extent Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: October. 13.06; December, 12c; January. 12c; March, 12c. Following are 10 a. m. bids in New Orleans: October, 12c; December, 12.97; January, 12.87; March, 12.96. Estimated cotton receipts: XT _ , Friday. 1912.

Gwathmey & Co. were big buyers for the day, many thought that Pell & Shearson were the leading sellers. Lester, for the latter firm, traded in nearly 50,000%bales, most- !y selling January, but he bought con siderable October against It. Gwathmey wer « th °ught to be around 30,000 bales. Hubbard and Wall Street bought an<] Liverpool sold. The mar- ket had a weak spell in the last hour, but rallied on buying by Mitchell, forc ing shorts to cover. * * * Local bears say the market is long and unless continually supported it will sell lower, as crop talk from the South west is better and cables from Man chester and the continent say trade is becoming very slack. « * * Hlbbs, a leading broker in Washing ton. wired Chapin yesterday that the bill, as it passed the Senate, becomes operative September, 1914, but he said there wasn't the least doubt that it would be modified in conference. * * • The average operator fears the hedge selling from the South, as the move ment will naturally be heavy in a very short time * * * The legislation In Washington is having a depressing effect and we may expect a nervous market until things are in a more definite shape at the Cap itol. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 11.—Hayward & Clarke: “The weather map shows cloudy, with general rainfall over the western half of Mississippi and entire western half of the belt; heavy rain at Galveston, local at that point; generally fair in Alabama and the Atlantic's, with little precipitation. Nice summer tem peratures over the Central and Western States, but temperatures range below normal over the Allantics; however, not injuriously so. Indications are for clear ing in the northern half of the belt, cooler in the West: warmer in the East ern States. General showery weather over the southwestern quarter.” * * • With premium on strict middling, good middling in New York *4 to *4 of a cent higher than here; a stock of good grade cotton should be attracted to New York. • * * Texas rainfall and temperatures: Jacksonville, cloudy, 70; Amarillo, cloudy hard steady rain yesterday, 56; Hillsboro, cloudy, 70; Waxahachie. cloudy, % inch rain last night, 71; Weatherford, cloudy, showers, 73; Fort Worth, raining hard since 6 a. m.; Arthur City, cloudy, 2*4 inches rain; Brown wood, cloudy, % inch rain, 71; Cleburne, cloudy, cool, good rain this a. m.; Longview, cloudy. 1 in. rain; Dal las, cloudy, misty, 75; Texarkana, rain ing. 75; Bonham, rained last night; Paris, cloudy. 70; San Antonio, rained most of night; Brownsville, clear, warm; El Paso, part cloudy; Waco, cloudy, 73; Hubbard, cloudy, light rain; Denison, cloudy; Bartlett, cloudy, cool, big rain last night; Taylor, cloudy, good rain last night, 73. * * % The New Orleans Timee-Demoerat says: “Wednesday’s cotton market ex hibited a good deal of nervousness. There was cause enough. Splendid rains have fallen all over the drouth affected States of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan sas and there Is an important reaction in the market, which shows that because of the excellence of this year’s tap root renewed growth and further fruit ing will result. To an extent at least, even in those sections of the West where the drouth has been most acute and that where light rains fell at in tervals during the period of drouth, as was the case over a large area in Texas, a top crop is now assured by reason of the precipitation Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. "This attitude. of course, create* contentions since the talent in the main nead abroad under the belief that the last <»f the rain had, by September 1, caused irreparable and very impor tant damage in the West. “The trade situation also gives rlM to controversy. Spinners are not buy ing cotton ahead of actual requirements, and supply merchants are beginning to show annoyance over the lack of busi ness. Bears contend that since there is n@ scarcity of cotton, and since the manufactured product in record-break ing volume has passed from the mills to the shelves of the merchants during the past two years, spinners need not be in a hurry to provide themselves with the raw material now that crop esti mates are expanding and prices are comparatively high ” Changed Whisky to Vinegar in Evidence MACON, Sept. 11.—When Murray Mc Lain, a bookkeeper, testified before the Grand Jury he said he witnessed the sale of liquor at J. P. Devlin’s saloon. In the trial of the case in the City Court, McLain swor© that the liquid was vin egar, and that he was mistaken when he said it was whisky. Judge Hodges immediately charged McLain with contempt of court and sent him to Jail for live days GRAIN CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Drouth in the Southwest as a market factor has been elln.^vted by soaking rains over Kan sas, Oklahoma and parts of Missouri and Nebraska during the past two days. Corn felt the effects of the more favor able weather and declined % to % on the opening here this morning. Wheat was affected by the decline of *4 to ‘id in Liverpool in the face of yesterday’s closing strength here, and the forecast of larger Argentina ship ments and declined % to %c. Oats had a small range and averaged slightly lower. Provisions were weaker and lower, due to a drop of 10 to 20c in hog prices.

It has been contended that the final estimate will amount to close to 260,000,000 bushels, but the report is expected to indicate 240,000,000 to 245,000.000 bushels. * * • Walter H. Moler, with S. B. Chapin & Co., says that the Government report on corn should show a condition of about 65, which on the Government method of indicating crops, would suggest 2,340.- 000,000.^ Condition on oats should be about 72 per cent, indicating a crop of 1,000,000.000. Spring wheat indicated crop should be about 240.000,000 bushels which would make total indicated wheat crop more than 750,000.000 bushels. • * * w - says that understanding of the difference between the drouth this year and those of other seasons is essential to a realization of the se- rlousness of the present situation. In 1901 and in 1911, drouth has confined to June and July, relief coming In 1901 about August 1 and in 1911. around Au- gust 15. It is the destruction of corn and of late summer and fall pasturage that makes the present drouth the most serious in decades. F'rom an economic standpoint, the loss of forage this year is only a little less serious than the loss to the corn crop. * • • The Chicago Inter Ocean says- "Sentiment was more divided last night In wheat, but there was a great many bulla who can see but one side of the market, and a few hears who are equally emphatic in their view of market conditions. „ “A'’" traders said that the selling which made the early decline vesterdav was due mainly to the belief 'that the priee discounted all bullishness shown bv the Government report.

We would be friend ly to stocks on moderate recessions.” • • • E. E. Clark, of N. L. Carpenter & Co., says: "General belief is that Union Pacific directors will not approve any of the various plans adopted by rumor venders for distribution of the surplus recently acquired in the sale of Southern Pacific atock. We believe stocks will show gradual improvement, and, with recessions from time to time, seek a higher level during the balance of the year.

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 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 woukl 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 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 Pedalrnobiles may be seen distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any hoy or girl who is fortunate enough to win one. These cars are now on exhi bition in the window of 0. 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 estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars.
