GRAIN
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Trading was
talrlv active at the opening of the cot
ton market to-day and first prices were
1 to 8 points higher than the previous
close.
There was not much in the cables to
attract attention, but the presence of a
strong low barometer off the coast sug
gested further heavy rains in the south
west and central belt over Sunday. It
was this feature which explained much
of the early trading. There was a much
more buoyant feeling In local specula
tive circles.
After the call prices rose 12 to 20
points from the opening range. On the
rise October was carried to 13.16, De
cember to 13.10 and January to 12.99.
Other positions crossed the 13c level.
I he advanc e was based on a good class
of commission house buying and short
covering. Spot interests also bought.
At the close the market was barely
steady, with prices at a net advance of
10 to 14 points from the closing quota
tions of Friday.

The market around the close yester
day had a better tone than for some
. ime and the hull element is advising its
friends to come into the market at
the present level. The argument is that
ihe world’s need will be more than the
( rop at the rate of consumption of the
past season. There is a feeling, how
ever, among some verr conservative
people that if this is a bull market we
need not expect it to run away just
now in the face of the pressure of spot
< otton, which must naturally come in
the next week.

Our telegraphic advices from the
South denote that the weather has been
more favorable during the week, rain
having been quite general with the pre
cipitation heavy at some points. Cotton
lias been benefited. Picking is now
under way In most localities, but was
interfered with in Texas by the heavy
iains. The movement of cotton in that
State has been retarded by the wet
weather.—Financial Chronicle.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.— Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows fair
in west Texas and Oklahoma; cloudy in
oast Texas, Arkansas. Louisiana and
Mississippi: fair over the Eastern
States; general rains in east Texas, but

The New Orleans Times-Demoerat
>ays: When Friday’s cotton market
, dosed both talent and trade went home
believing Congress will enact a scientific
law covering contract trading. Whether
such belief is well founded remains to
be seen, but the news they had yester
day was to the effect that the confer
ence is expected to amend the Clarke
tax to make it apply to all future con
tracts not in conformity wlfh Hon. Her
bert Knox Smith’s recommendations.
ShoulcT the conference take such action
and snould the measure th,en become a
law both producer and consumer will
benefit through the elimination of
manipulation from the future market.
The business of the cotton merchant will
prosper because the trade usefulness of
his hedge will be greatly Improved.
The future broker will gain rather
than lose, because the standing of the
market will be raised. Early in the
session the talent acted on unfavorable
advices from Washington, on big crop
tafk, on bearish trade reports from Eu-
rope, and on reports from Galveston
that ocean freight room was going beg-
gJjg. and that cotton room for Bremen
could be had at the low price of 30c a
hundred pounds.
“Western weather is, at the moment,
exerting a mixed influence. Heavy
rains have fa len all over Texas and
Oklahoma. In some case-* these rains
justify the bePef that renewed fruiting
will Increase the crop outturn, in others
they InsoP-o «ome fear as to the effect
on the grade.”
* * •
.T. B. Turner, of Memphis, has the
following on the condition of cotton for
the week emPng September 12:
"The weather for the week was more
favorable to cotton than In either of the
preceding weeks. Rains fell generally
throughout the Western belt, and more
or less irroguTarity in Eastern States
Temperatures were lower. The rain
was of benefit in all sections and a note
of improvement Is sounded by cor
respondents *n most States.
“It is certain that late bolls wl’l grow
to larger size and return a greater
amount of lint as a result of moisture,
and in this manner is the greater ben
efit derived. Over the greater part of
Texas and Oklahoma all the fields ex
cent lowldnds had been dried out by the
beat and drouth preceding the rains,
and these can’t approximate the real
rainfall, however profuse it may be, ex
cept at too slow a pace to mature be
fore average or even late frost dates.
• The crop in Alabama and the Atlan
tic States has been improved by the
rain whereve* they were heavy enough
to wet the ground. There are sections,
however where the precipitation has
hr-en quffe lieht. Returns are irregular,
and while some cotton is turning out
..>nte well, some of it is young and has
not matured a normal amount of fruit
for the season.
“Cotton is o]»ening rapidly every
where. and with lower temperatures and
,jrv weather next week great progress
will be made in picking.

NEW YORK. Sept. 13. — The
paincipal feature in the cotton
market durlne this week was the pub
lication by the Government Census Bu
reau of its first ginners' report of the
new season, whlcn showed that up to
September 1. 794,000 bales had been
ginned, compared with 731.000 up to the
same period In 1912, and 771.000 in 1911.
The figures, while of record propor
tions, were not a surprise and hud lit
tle or no Influence on market fluctua
tions. as the heavy ginning wus attrib
uted to the abnormal conditions due to
premature opening of cotton, caused by
tpe excessive heat and long drouth; an<j
may be construed as a bullish argument
gather than bearish as reports from one
section of Texas say that the crop will
be entirely finished picking and gin
ning within the next three or four weeks.
Of course, at this time of the year
deterioration in all vegetation is natural,
but the extent of the deterioration Is
due largely to maturity and development
of any growing plant, so that while the
next October Government condition re
port will naturally describe deteriora
tion. private advices say that the cot
ton plant has gone backward very much
in tne past two weeks, or since the
Government report made up to August
25.
Pearsall's new agency calls attention
to the fact that the rainfall for Texas
during the month of August showed an
average of only .26 of an inch, or 1.15
Inches below normal. The average rain
fall for July and August (combined) in
Texas, they say. is the lowest on record
for the two months.
The large crops of Texas have been
made on very heavy rainfall, notably
the crop of 1912, when the total Texas
yield was 4,862.000 bales, while this
year, as mentioned above, the rainfall
in Texas for the past two months seems
to have been very short and certainly
prospects from that State are regarded
as very poor. Estimates for the yield
from Texas vary from 3,600.000 to 4.200,-
000 bales, and some most conservative
parties insist that the crop will be un
der 4.000,000 bales.
In Oklahoma the same condition is
said to prevail. The crop last year was
1,051,000 bales; estimates this year range
from 500.000 to 700,000 bales.
Arkansas last year produced 820,000
bales; estimates now are from 700,000
to 800,000 bales.
Conservatively, those who are willing
to lend themselves to figures at this
time, claim that the crop is so ad
vanced, on account of heat and drouth,
that it is all made and is as easily esti
mated now as it will be in other States
the first of December, and plpce the
shrinkage in Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas from 1.200,000 to 1,500,000 bales,
with a possible further shrinkage in
Mississippi, on account of the ruvagee
of boll weevil. This State made 1,402,-
000 bales last year. It is claimed this
will be reduced. Alabama made 1.390.-
000 bales last year; many seem to think
this will be reduced.
Georgia produced 1,920.000 bales last
year; some claim this State will make
2,600,000 bales this year.
In South Carolina the crop last year
was 1,281,000 bales; some claim that
South Carolina will make 1,500,000 bales
this year; that is maximum
North Carolina made 974,000 bales last
year. These figures will probably stand
for this year.
So the increase claimed in prospect for
Georgia and the Oarolinas may be as
much as 800,000 bales; therefore, those
who think the crop of 1913-1914, which
we are lust beginning to gather, will fall
short of last year’s yield, when the total
crop was 14,167,000 bales, have quite a
decided margin in their favor, ranging
anywhere from 400,000 to 700,000 bales.
Cither parts of the belt other than the
western section, where drouth has done
so much damage will be more or less
affected by the date of frost; therefore,
the next few weeks will tend to more
clearly fix the prospective yield; but
conditions are. such that a small crop,
compared with the world's consumption,
is in prospect and with 14,000,000 bales
for America, prices will rule on a higher
basis
The Increase in spindles last year and
those coming into operation shortly
make a decided showing, so the con
sumption in Europe will probably In
crease over last year, while the con
sumption in Europe of American cotton
will no doubt increase.
The political situation in Washing
ton is still a matter of grave concern.
The passage of the tariff bill with the
Clarke amendment attached will work
irretrievable wrong and hardship on the
producers of America's greatest com
modity, and a commodity of which the
largest proportion is exported. This is
f irovin^ a disturbing element, and until
t is out of the way It will be very dif
ficult to forecast the trend of prices,
as the passage of the bill with the
Clarke amendment, we firmly believe,
will mean disorganization and depres-
I slon in prices, and leave the markets
for American cotton to Liverpool and
, Bremen. Strong protests to your Con
gressmen may induce them to study
your interests by repudiating the
amendment.—N. L. Carpenter & Co
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—An advance of
%<i to %d in Liverpool, combined with
the fact that the shipments from Chi
cago exceeded 500,000 bushels, was re
sponsible for a firmer tone in the wheat
market this morning, early prices show

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 18.—Wheat closed
% to %c higher.
Corn closed % to Id higher.
Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Oceans says:
“Sentiment in the grain trade last
night was mixed. Sentiment was rather
friendly Jo wheat, but even the bulls
were not" disposed to advise heavy pur
chases while the spring wheat move
ment is on.
“A number of the aggressive bears in
com who sold early were buying thelt
corn back at the close.
“Bulls on oats think they see better
things in the near future, while the
bears said they saw no new outside buy
ing coming in.”
* * *
Bartlett, Frazier Company says:
"Wheat—Prices should at least rule
steady to-day.
"Corn—We think there is a big out
standing short Interest, which la likely
to be covered at higher prices, as hold
ers show no disposition to liquidate,
while smaller longs have sold out.
“Oats—The consumptive demand con
tinues of good proporitions, with Eastern
ship]>ers buying fair quantities every
day.
“Provisions—Packers are the best sell
ers, buying coming chiefly from com
mission houses, especially In the de
ferred deliveries.’’

“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, 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 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 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 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 P> ht.ree 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 boys 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. 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 end *”11 prrticu-
lars will be mailed you at once.
