He was hard to handle, he buys fertilizer in train loads for his own farms. When they couldn’t land him, they asked him why. He smiled and said, “Next year I am on a spot cash basis and will not buy till later and will give you fertilizer men plenty of time to think it over.” Such dealing has never taken place in the South before. It is a well known fact with the Railroad Industrial Departments of different roads in the city, also a well known fact to a number of real estate men, that there are hundreds of Northern concerns seeking railroad frontage sites in Atlanta for their Southeast and South west distributing center. There never was such a demand for logical, close-in track front age. The up-to-the-minute cost system shows that minutes are dollars. I11 the rapid transit li<! business every minute counts, and the man who saves the minutes, saves and makes the dollars. The Stocks property will change the cen ter of Atlanta three blocks nearer the Termi nal Station. Convenient to passenger and freight transportation and situated so as 'n deal with all the important points in a dozen ■Tates. No track frontage from now on is half so advantageous to the shipper.

Her preliminary estimate was 13,500,00(1 bales, issued early in the season. She says that the acreage after aban- ^.4 per cent aggregates 34, 916,800 acres. Texas and Oklahoma abandonment 4 and 5 per cent, respec tively. She further states that the area still to be picked is 8 per cent, as compared with 7 per cent last year, against 8.7 per cent the year before and 10 per cent in 1910. Reports to her state that the amount of low, undesirable grades range be tween 400.000 and 500.000 bales. Her estimate by States follows, to gether with the acreage of each State: Acreage Estimated I NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—With a steady I tone prevailing the cotton market open- I ed up 1 point on near positions and 1 | point down on distant months from Thursday’s final. It was another small and inactive market. Trading was purely local. Liverpool reported fairly good cables, while the final Giles crop estimate was placed at 14,149,500 bales, including ltnt- ers. The estimate was construed*bull ish, but had no effect. After the call the market eased off and continued downward during the forenoon. Prices eased off 3 to 6 points from the previous close. Advices from many sections of the belt reported a better sj»ot demand. Some of the larger operators who have been inclined to the bear side of late were advising their friends not to fol low the dip, stating tiiat it will take very little buying to start the list on an upward move Aggressive selling during the late forenoon and lack of resistive power based on expectations of a bearish week-end statement and a large Census report Monday on Winnings. resulted in 'further depression. January eased off to 12.89; March, 13.01, and May, 12.94. A few spot houses and local bulls were good buyers of December, which served to sustain the option around the initial level. Bears continue to use their bear ish tactics on the lack of spot demand. However, private advices from the belt contradict such theories, stating that spots are firm with good demand. At the close the market was barely steady, with prices at a net decline of 9 to 16 points from the previous close.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5.—Recent ca ble information of good business in Manchester is fully confirmed by the large spot sales in Liverpool to-day— which totaled 14,000, at unchanged prices. Ever since The Times-Demo- crat's estimate was published, spot de mand has been active all around, show ing the trade’s acceptance of the small er supply views. With any support from leading specu lators, a hull moveme.it in the market would have been easy to accomplish, but for some reason this force seems to hold off. The weather was again very bad overnight over the western half of the belt, with general and heavy rainfall. The twjn storm formation is still over Texas, likely to move eastward and cause general rains over the central States, lollowed by severe cold wave and clearing over Sunday in the west ern States. A large business has been done with Liverpool and the freight rate has been advanced 2c. Although feeling here is bullish, the market opened about 3 points lower, owing to weakness in New York, tiut the firmness of spots checked bearish designs. Demand for spots is steady, offerings less pressing, and firm prices asked.

Cotton Gossip NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Sterrett, of N. L.A’arpenter & Co., says “The fea ture or the morning was Miss Giles' crop estimate, indicating a cotton yield from the growth of 1913, of 14,149.500. includ ing linters. Miss Giles calls attention to an abandonment of 2.4 per cent in acreage, making the total acreage 34.- 916,000 acres, but her yie'd ner acre of 193 pounds estimated seems large to us, and a statement that 8 per cent Is yet to be picked, compared with 7 per cent last year is entirely at variance with reports that are coming to us from dif ferent sections of the belt.” • * * Sterrett says: "The situation is in no way changed. The technical position Is against any advance. It looks like we must have a further decline before any substantial advance occurs * * • Liverpool cables: "American forward 1(70,305 bales; total, 127,961. American decreased 44,990 bales," * * * NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows fair In the western part of Texas and North Carolina, cloudy over the rest of the belt, general and rather heavier rains over the entire western half, with little precipitation in the eastern half. Indi cations are for clearing fo colder weath er jn north Texas and Oklahoma, rain formation and general precipitation coming on central and eastern States. • * * Rainfall: Amarillo 1.04, Oklahoma City 1.04.

Fort Smith 1.22, Little Rock .08, Del Rio .08, Houston 1.04. • * • The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "Frost and freezing weather put an end to the making of cotton on Octo ber 22, and any adverse climatic circum stance since then could have had no other effect than either to reduce the yield through losses, or to lower ths grade, thereby reducing the spinning value of the crop. Nevertheless, within the past few days gome Texas esti mates have been raised radically by a few people whose outturn ideas in no way chime in with those of most peo ple who have had occasion to investi gate the crop promise "Recently Europe has complained of the abnormal waste of this year’s re ceipts in many cases amounting to as much a» 60 and 70 pounds a hale. Sec retary Hester reports the average weight of hales this year as materially less than last year. "Since Sunday extraordinary rains and floods in portions of Texas have further greatly damaged such cotton as remains to be picked there, and have not helped cotton stored in bales out in the weather around houses and on rail road platforms. "On December 8 the Census Bureau will report the quantity of cotton ginned to December 1, and fear that the fig ures will be large has checked specu lative support. The trade, however, seems impressed by the low spinning value of the crop, by the sudden and complete maturity of the crop and by the logic behind those estimates point ing to a commercial crop somewhere be tween 14,000.000 to 14.200,000 hales, and there is good reason to believe that consumers are now. and have been, picking up cotton every day. and that such purchases are taking the place of speculative buying as an offset to speculative selling." ♦ * * Big business doing with Liverpool; freight brokers say rate advanced yes terday 2 cents on account of so much de mand for steamer room. • * * Little Rock wires: "Large spot busi ness doing in this section. Everybody in the market and practically every thing held by merchants and planters has been sold in past three days, the ba sis the best since October. Japan bought 1,000 bales here yesterday, and Carolina mills are buying largely of low grade rivers.” Atlanta Markets PUTS STOCKS OFF Bearish Bank Statement Also Selling Factor — Steel and Copper Were Heavily Sold.

The general downward movement, which set in yesterday, was continued and the railroads and industrials suf fered recessions. Among th*' other de clines were United States Steel common, %. lip %; Tennessee Copper, %; South ern Pacific, %; American Can, %, and Canadian Pacific, %. The prospect of a high rate for call money caused some selling before the opening of the call money market. There were also some fears expressed that to-morrow's hank statement would be bearish In character. The curb w r as steady. Americans In London were firm, but Canadian Pacific there was heavy. Prices of nearly all the Important Is sues fluctuated within a narrow range, although at times trading was in large blocks. United States Steel sold In large quantities without any material change in the price of the stock. An Irregular movement in Amalgamated Copper resulted in buyers sidestepping that issue. Union Pacific, Southern Pa cific an/1 Reading remained unchanged. The tone continued dull at the forenoon closing. Call money loaned at 5% per cent. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Stock quotations; Under a Duty 19 Yrs,, Wool Is Again Free BOSTON* Dec. 5.—After nineteen years and five months under a duty, wool is again free. Growers, handlers and consumers or wool now must solve the prob'em of whetner this is best for the interest of the country. Few are rasn enough to predict continued indus trial prosperuv unoer the terms of the radical bill, which has lust become law. At the moment interest centers in the withdrawal from bond of the tremen dous volume of foreign wool, which had been accumulated in anticipation of the removal of the duty. The past week had been fairly active with more dealing in foreign wools. Total sales are estimated at nearly 3,- 900,000 pounds. As early as possible on Monday the movement to remove the foreign wool from bonded warehouses began, and by Wednesday some houses reported that they had secured permits for the removal of every pound of wool held in bond on their account. Receipts of wool in pounds for the week ended and including Wednesday are as follows: I 1513 | 1912 Domestic 1.653.804 1.823.433 Foreign 574.925! 698.425 Total 2.228.733)2.521.858 Total receipts of 2,228.733 pounds, compare with 1,648.096 pounds for fhe preceding week, of which 889,198 pounds were domestic.

Dec. 5.- Covering of shorts and some scattered buying on the advance in lard served to put cot ton seed oil prices up a couple of points. This upturn was in the face of easier crude offerings, reported to be the heav iest so far this season. With shorts believed to be well in, the market appears technically weak, especially as the pubile has little in terest in the market. Cotton seed oil quotation*.

The currency bill is being put forward as a bull argument now.” * * * While the stock market shows less activity than yesterday, there is good buying on the reaction. I believe stocks will gradually advance to a higher lev el and advise purchases on all weak spots. High money rates may check the advance temporarily, but do not ex- I pect high money rates to last very long. Union Pacific and Utah Copper should be attractive at these prices.—G. D. Totter.

Grain Notes The Chicago Inter Ocean says: ‘The tone of the meat market was re garded by most traders as better, and in fact the speculative atmosphere was better all over the board. "It is said that corn bulls would be satisfied to have prices hold around present levels for two weeks or more, so as not to attract too much corn here. It was the belief of oats traders that the market had been sold o :t of late and that the bears and elevator inter ests realized it, as they are finding it difficult to make purchases without ad vancing prices.” Bartlett. Frazier Co. says: “Wheat— There seems to be no pressure on the marker and a broadening in trade and a fair upturn could readily be accom plished. "Corn- Further rains west of the river and generally cloudy in East. Shipping demand good. "()ats-*~We look for higher prices. "Provisions—We ifeel friendly to the market on all recessions.” Corn Crop Estimated At 2,368.000,000 Bus. B. W. Snow’s report for December says: "Husking largely completed, but shows no material chauge in estimated rate of yield. After allowing for acreage on which no corn in any shape was pro duced the total crop is estimated at 2.- 368,000,000 bushels. Quality of the crop has been further reduced by excessive moisture during the past six weeks and cqmplaint of moldy and rotten corn and corn down in the mud is wide spread. “In answer to a question, ‘Are the farmers willing to sell corn at present prices?’ local agents return an emphatic ‘No.’ "Renters and producers involved in debt are reported as being forced to sell regardless of price, but the bulk of producers are reported as intending to hold for later markets and largely for local demand. Preliminary estimate of area seeded to wheat 34,971,000 acres, or 2.400.000 more than last year, an increase of 7.4 per cent. Acreage mainly increased in the districts of corn failure. Soil was well prepared and growth began early; pres ent condition of crop 95 per cent, i "The long period of wet, mild weather extending far beyond the period of usual fall growth has resulted in abnormal plant development above ground and corresponding deficiency in deep root growth. The plant has failed to receive its usual gradual hardening in pretnra- tion for winter. Under rmv conditions it is rank, sappy, tender >W overgrown and not satisfactory condition to with stand wintry vicissitudes should the coming season prove severe."
