Aristocracy of Southern Chicken
World Present as Auditorium
Doors Are Opened.
To the accompaniment, of a medley
of cackles, quacks and the noisy
crowing of the barnyard chnntlcleer,
the Southern International Poultry
Association Show opened Monday
afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Audi
torium.
“We have kept up to our reputa
tion of having the greatest poultry in
the entire South,” said T. M. Poole,
secretary of the association, as ne
proudly surveyed the hundreds of ex
hibits that filled the main Audito
rium, Taft Hall and even the stage.
Exactly 3,790 birds are entered in
the big shox. There were more than
this number last year, but the offi
cials in charge found It necessary to
set a limit, and it was placed at 4,000,
because of the impossibility properly
to handle a larger number.
These are the aristocrats of poul-
trydom at the Auditorium. Some of
the glossy feathered birds come from
points as far distant as Columbus, <>.,
and Oxford, Pa.. and many of th^m
have blue and red ribbons galore to
attest to the blue-bloodedness of their
ancestors.
Most of them are “show broke.”
They are so used to the crowds that
they will hardly deign a glance at the
passersby. And there are conscien
tious old hens that will not even per
mit the excitement to act as a de
terrent to their egg-laying proclivi
ties which have given them fame in
the land.
All of the old standbys—such as ihe
Plymouth Rocks. Cochins, Wyan
dot tes of glearning white and those
with silver lacings, and various other
styles in feathers; Leghorns and fu
nereal Black Minorcas—are there.
And there are many other breeds that
are not so frequently seen on the poul
try farms.
The judges will get busy Tuesday
morning. By^nightfall all of the rib
bons will have been awarded. The
children’s department, which forms
one of the most interesting exhibits
of the entire show, will be judged
by Alf Bertling, Chamblee, Ga., and S.
J. Harwell, Adel, Ga. The children’s
exhibit is on the stage with the dis
play of pigeons, bantams, turkeys and
geese.
One of the attractive exhibits is that
of the Aldrich Poultry Farm, of Co*
lumbus, Ohio, whose White Orping
tons have taken prize® in many States
of the Union. Other large exhibitors
are Mrs. P. T. Calloway, of Wash
ington, Ga.; Pope M. Long, of Cor
dova, Ala., and E. E. Carter, of Knox
ville, Tenn.

orders based on the crop estimate of
The New Orleans Times-Democrat,
whose figures were 18.660,000 hales, ex
clusive of Mnters, gave strength to the
cotton market at the opening to-day,
and first prices were at a net advance
of 6 to 15 points from the Saturday’s
close.
Liverpool came in a few points better
than due and reported good buying
ihifl, coupled with \ e map indicating a
bad spell of weather general rains over,
the entire belt, followed by a severe I
cold wave toward Thursday and two of I
the largest Southern mills on the floor |
talking bullish on consumption, proved
sufficient to send shorts to cover. This
class of buying was followed by aggres
sive buying and bulling by local bull
forces, resulting in the list advancing 15
to 21 points higher than the previous
close at the end of the first hour.
The feature of the market during the
earl> afternoon was the lack of pressure
to sell. A prominent spot house esti
mated ginnings to December 1, at 11.-
«<*.,000 hales. This brought out active,
covering by shorts. Wall street and i
Western shorts covered freely and local'
traders were Inclined to take the long
side temporarily. However, a few hav«
much faith in a sustained advance.
l^arge spot interests of Philadelphia
were credited with buying by balance
and the rapid advance of the English
market made things look much brighter
for the bull element. The feeling here
is very favorable for further upturns.
At the close the market was steady,

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.—The Times-
Democrat’s correspondents make the
growth 13.660,000 bales. This does not
include linters or other additions. it
says by way of comment that the aver
age spinning power of yield is less than
normal. Farmers sold freely as a rule,
but are disposed to hold on all de
clines. This estiamte agrees well with
the general opinion here of production
this year.
Very bad weather has prevailed in the
belt since Friday, and indications are
for continued had weather until the
middle of the week, when a strong cold
wave will bring with It clearing and
cold weather.
The Times-Demoerat’s estimate will
go far toward fixing views about avail
able supply and Stimulate demand on
the part of consumers.
An unfavorable change Is shown this
morning in financial matters. Silver in
London is quoted %/i down; consols
3-16d down. So far it has not been
learned to what this sudden depression
is due.
Our market opened 10 points higher
and ruled firm, with prices gradually ad
vancing to 13.37 for March, without
much support. The idea of general busl-
depression seems to have taken so
1' hold .of every one that activity is
restrained. The situation in cotton,
however, appears so strong from the
standpoint of supply and minimum re
quirements--that this article may easily
prove an exception, and may advance in
value without regard to the general sur
rounding conditions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—There was a
good demand on and after the opening,
based on the bullish Times-Democrat
crop estimate. Waters was the princi
pal buyer. Very 11 (tie cotton was for
sale and the market ruled very steady
throughout the day.—J. M. Anderson.
* * •
There was some profit taking by those
who were buyers on Saturday, commis
sion houses being the leading sellers.

Columbus. Ga., wires E. F. Hutton &.
Co.: y“l'nlese ginning to December 1 is
300.000 bales more than last year, the
crop will not be as large. A far greater
percentage haa been ginned from Dallas
to here than in 1912 to this date, with
the exception of the delta and Arkan
sas River bottom. We’ve nothing to
warrant an estimate of more than 14,-
000.000 bales, commercial crop No pres
sure to sell in the southeast.”
• •/ •
J. G. Baldwin wires from Maxtor, N.
C., under date of November 29: “Have
you ever noticed the earlier the frost
the greater per cent of crop ginned to
November. Fourteen years of early gen
eral frost show about 12 4a per cent
ginned for period 1st to 14th. l«ate frost
years about 10. Take any State sepa
rately, the year It has early frost it will
show largest per cent ginned to No
vember 14. Tills is true of States both
separately and collectively. Did we not
have one of the earliest general killing
frosts then? What will be the result?
Those who need cotton and do not buy
it now may find trouble in getting It
later. Will it be American or foreign
spinner who will make the mistake of
waiting until the supply of cotton hae
dwindled to such a small figure that it
will take what may seem exorbitant
prices to obtain it?"
• • •
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.—Hayward &
Clark: “The weather map shows fair
In north Louisiana, north Mississippi
and Tennessee; cloudy over the rest of
the belt; general rains in Alabama and
the Atlantics; little precipitation oc
curred overnight elsewhere, but big
rains feU Saturday in the Central
States.”
• • •
Washington announces that the next
ginners’ report, giving cotton ginned to
December 1 will be issued at 9 a. m..
our time, December 8. The Government
estimate of the crop in 600-pound gross
bales without linters will be published
December 12 at 1 p. m., our time.
* • •
Washington forecast for week: Rain
Monday in South Atlantic States, but
generally fair thereafter. Generali- fair
weather will also remain in the cotton
belt, except possibly some rain about
Tuesday over the extreme northwest
portion. It will be cold early in the
week in the Gulf States, but probably
no frosts of consequence for several
days at least.

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1 There was light
scattered trade In cotton seed oil today,
with prices generally steady to a shade
higher on buying, inspired by the ad
vance in cotton There were no .signs
of a revival in outside trade, however,
and the crude situation is a trifle easier
off anything. There Is talk that many
miils will have to let go their holdings
before the close of the year or shut
down.
December oil was off a trifle, owing to
tenders of abou f 1.000 barrels.
