• NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—1 n response to
lower cables than due the cotton mar
ket was easy at the opening to-day and
first prices were net unchanged to 7
points lower than the closing quotations
~f Thursday. Sentiment was slightly
mixed, but. on the whole, not so bull
ish as last week. There was active un
loading again this morning, based chief
;\ on the favorable weather conditions
overnight.
The map shows fair weather over the
western and central States, except light
sprinkles in Mississippi. Indications,
oweevr, pointed to increasing cloudi
ness and cooler weather in Oklahoma.
Northwest Texas and Northern Arkan
sas, but fair elsewhere, except In Flor
ida and scattered showers over the At-
Unties.
Habersham King. In his latest circu
,r. says rains in the western and mid
dle b**lt were generally favorable, as
they were needed and not accompanied
by damaging winds. Damage Is to qual
ity and not to quantity and resultant in
v crease in yield, except in < ’klahoma,
Northwest Texas and will
vastly overcome damage to quality.
During the forenoon after prices had
broke 6 to 8 points under the early pres
sure. active buying by spot interests,
i ■■ panied by short covering, resulted
in a rapid advance of 1 to 7 i»olnts from
the initial level.
Liverpool bought at the start, but
switched her lines and bought on the
decline Bullish ring traders also bought
in expectation of bullish spinners' tak
ings In addition to this, things were
helped along by some wires from the
tnas, stating that eotton was
sprouting in the bolls Texas also sent
in a bullish wire, contrary to King's
report, stating that bolls were rotting
and sprouting, resulting in October ral
lying.
The bulls contend that a 14.(MX),000-
bale crop is wgUV ftc. taking into
consideration that rate of consumption.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19.—The liqui
dation in the past two days by a prom
inent bull interest in New York caused.
® good deal of comment and some be
lieve there is less harmony in support !
of the market.
Liverpool came in weak, with futures
about 9 points lower Spots 9 points
lower; sales 14.000 bales.
Our market opened about 5 points low
er and ruled quiet, principally watching
New York news in respect to sign” • f
further liquidation of professional lone
lines.
Business in spots continues slow
Mills are pursuing a strictly hand-to
mouth policy in ordering, all of which
is expressed in reports of freight agents
that the freight market is demoralized,
and ships leaving for certain ports with
empty room.
M ith futures constantly above spots,
the contract markets are carrying the
crop.
Support appeared after the close nf
Liverpool and prices rallied to 13.20 for
December.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Refusal by the Congressional
Conference Committee , to give out
further information concerning changes
in the tariff bill,, left the coton market
without news regarding cotton market
legislation, and for the first time in
several days talent and trade turned
their attention to legitimate influences.
A good deal of rain, heavy in some
sections, fell in Texas, but the forecast
for the west was for fair weather. Even
the constitutional bear knows that
lengthy periods of dry weather, and ex
tended periods of heavy rainfall do not
produce ideal growing and maturing
conditions
. "Nevertheless, even the constitutional
bull knows that some sections of Texas
will produce more cotton as a result of
recent rains provided frosts hold off.
The bear faction insists, that in the
main, damage by doruth in Texas has
been confined to those sections with
which European buyers are in closest
touch, and that the crop expectations,
in so tar as Texas is concerned nave
developed largely as a result of the
pessimistic reports coming from the
drouthy sections. Whether this is true
or not. history alone will tell. How
ever the talent refuses to take the
reports from that state of seed sprout
ing in the bolls seriously, because Sep
tember rains usually cause some sprout
ing of this character in damp low’ places
which 1s promptly checked when the
sun shines again."
• • •
The principal buying to-day came
from brokers representing Weld.
• • •
The ring got short at the outset and
rushed to cover after the call, when a
few bull leaders appeared in the mar
ket They take no chances. Some
conservatives express the belief that the
bearish element have had their day
* • •
But what can a fellow do when he
reads news favorable to either side?
For instance: Good weather; bad
weather, bullish cables, bearish cables;
bad crop advices, favorable news, etc.

MODERN MILLER GRAIN REPORT.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 19.—General rains
over almost the entire wheat belt dur
' Ing Hie past week has furnished ample
moisture to put the soil in line condi
tion for seeding of wheat, and in many
sections th»* plowing is being rushed.
Reports from many places, however,
show that the fall plowing is retarded
by too much rain. Even in the sections
where complaints of too much rain are
being made, it is admitted that
thorough saturation of the soil, follow
ing the long drouth, will prove a ben
efit when the wheat plowing is re
sumed.
The most reliable reports from all
parts of the belt indicate that not much
more than one-half of the plowing has
been completed, hut there is ample
time in which to make up the deficiency
and no shortage in the acreage is looked
for on this account.
Farmers say there is no excess of
moisture, and additiona' rain will do
more good than harm. There will be a
large increase in the acreage in Mis
souri. as the failure of the corn crop
I ieaves much land in fine condition for
seeding of wheat.

’ Wheat and corn are well taken on
• all dips.
• • •
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
“Wheat traders are disposed to go slow
s on the buying side until more is known
1 about the action of Congress on the
tariff on grains There is a belief In
• the trade that wheat will be put on
• I the free list, which Is considered as a
• bearish factor A number of longs said
’ yesterday that they had sold out and
taken the short side for th© present, and
’ several of the leading bears who have
I covered during the past two days put
! out fresh lines and pressed the decline
• as hard as possible
9 "Corn is regarded as a sale on all
“ good bulges from the present level, un
: less there is a spell of wet weather
II This is the view taken by a number of
the sharpest traders. They do not look
’ for much decline, and are satisfied with
’ turns of % to 1 cent A great deal
<»f spreading between May and Decern
! her is being done by local trailers, the
former being bought and the latter sold
at a cent difference.
• • •
Inglis wires to
following. "The eastern and northern
counties in Indiana have an average
crop of corn, but sout(i and west from
- Columbus to the State line it will fall
much below; central, eastern and north
ern counties run uneven. High uplands
on thin soil very poor and reduces State
average.

“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 hea rd 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
coining 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 enbugh to win one.
These oars 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 Imperia] 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. Z)
OUTSIDE WORKERS. 6
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn- i
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest bust- ;
levs who would like to own a Pedalmobile. /
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once. /
