THE ATT A NT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 11 COTTON Hester’s Weekly Cotton Statistics STOCKS Week Review of The Cotton Market 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. hitW YORK COTTON. I I I First I Prev. 13.16 12.96! tfp. ....

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.

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. Secretary Heater's weekly New Or leans Cotton Exchange statement of the movement of cotton, issued before the close of business Friday, shows an increase, in round numbers, in the movement into sight for the past seven days of 56,000 over the seven days end ing September 12 last year, an increase over the same time year before last of 24,000 and an increase over the same time In 1910 of 132,000.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK. Sept. 13. Trading in terest centered in Union Pacific at the opening of the stock market to-day. As the result of buying on extra dividend talk and covering by short Interests Union Pacific opened at 160% and went to 161 for a gain of 1%. The list showed some irregularity, but the undertone was steady. General Electric led the specialties with an upturn of one point, opening at 148. Mexican Petroleum, on the other hand, was weak, losing one point Among the advances were: United States Steel common, 1%; Southern Pa cific, ; Reading, 1; Norfolk and West ern, % ; New York, New Haven and Hartford. %; New York Central. %; Lehigh Valley, *4; Erie, %; Amalga mated Copper, *4; Canadian Pacific, 3 points. Strength in Canadian Pacific was due to heavy buying from Paris, Berlin and London. There was covering also. Chesapeake and Ohio and St. Paul shaded. The curb was steads . Americans in London were strong. Union Pacific was sold fn London by profit takers, but It continued to rise despite these sales. The market closed strong; govern ments unchanged; other bonds firm. Reports show that merchants and manufacturers feel relieved over the passing of ihe tariff bill, and signs of trade revivals are becoming more appar ent.

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 ing %c to %c higher.

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.
