Seaboard to Build Howell Mill Bridge County Orders Improvement for Car Line—Fund Reported Started for Pace’s Ferry Trolley. The Board of County Commission ers issued an order Saturday re quiring the Seaboard Air Line Rail way to place a new bridge over its tracks crossing Howell Mill road at the Evan P. Howell public school. This improvement will be made in order to provide a travelsble route for the new Howell Mill road car line, which will pass through this section. The car line tracks will be laid at once, the Georgia Railway and Power Company having announced to resi dents in the neighborhood that an or der for the rails has been placed. The grading through the stockyards on Marietta street has been completed. This line will connect with the Ma rietta line and will stop for the pres ent at Collier road. Eventually the line will extend northward to Pace's Ferry road or Wesley avenue and proceed thence in to the Buekhead line at Buekhead. In fact, Pace’s Ferry road people are reported to have started a fund to insure this improvement along their roa 1. The Seaboard is now building a concrete and steel bridge over its tracks at Deerland station, Peachtree road. The other bridge will be of steel and wood, it is said.

The ring crowd hammered every option on the I list, while Mitchell bought about 15,000 j different options after the call trying to save the list, but was unsuccessful In his brave attempt. However, he put up a great fight and was hacked by a num ber of the larger spot houses. It was said that some of Mitchell's buying was for spot interests. * * * Just before the report was issued yesterday the ring crowd generally seemed to have sold and when the fig ures were posted the bullish element sturted the buying.

The situ ation of the local market has been strengthened by the elimination of con siderable more long cotton yet to come out, and with it removed as a factor the market will be in a better position to respond to bullish news. The willing ness of the larger spot interests to take over a large part of this long cotton at present prices shows that thhse interests are not bearish on the market. Week-end realizing and further liqui dation by the ring crow'd and long line holders sent the list still lower dui- ing the closing hour, while tm- buying was scarce and scattered. There was seme scattered buying by week-end shorts, but this w’as insufficient to cheek the downwadr movement Bull leaders seemed inclined to sidestep, giv ing the manipulation its full course, on the break. l>ecember sold at 12.90, while January slumped to 12.75, March to 12.88 and May to 12.85. These levels represented losses of $1.15 to $1.25 a bale. At. the elose the market was easy, with prices at a net decline of 12 to 25 points fro.n the final quotations of Fri day.

Immediately after he arrived from Liv erpool yesterday, he came on the floor ami started to talking extremely bull ish to all his friends. « » 9 Stcrrett Tate, of N. L. Carpenter Co., says: “Conditions are still against an advance. The rally yesterday following the Government’s crop estimate, not withstanding the figures were very bull ish, was only limited, and. while the market went up, the undertone was heavy. “The scattered long interest, which is Immense, and which has held on so long, is only encouraged to stick a little long er. but the buying power is so cur tailed I do not think it possible for an advance to be held at this time. 1 think this little upturn has furnished an txeeltpnt opportunity for liquidating, or starting to liquidate long cotton. “I believe we are going to have a gradually sagging market for the pres ent. * • • Following is the statistical position of cotton on Friday, December 12. a* made up by The New York Financial Chronicle: This Week Ijast Year Closed easy. 10.13 10.33 10.34 '10.38 1 9.90® 9.91 10.

December 13: 1913 ;1912 NEW ORLEANS. Dec 13. Hayward £ Clark: “Th*» weather map show* fair over the \j1antics and cloudy over the rest of the belt. Rain fell all over Texas and Oklahoma, indications are for unsettled conditions with rain in the western half of the belt Cloudv in the eastern half.’’ The New Orleans Times Democrat say? "While the Government's es timate of the crop, exclusive of llnters. of 13.677.000 6O0-pound hales in the safest pointer available to the cotton trade, the fact that It is prophecy and not history arbitrarily determines noth ing Nevertheless, the consuming world will probably take the figures seriously and act accordingly Meanwhile, the bull, who predicates his opinions on the • bvious relationship between apparent supply and evident requirements, sees nothing ahead other than higher val ues. "Cm the other hand, the bear, who bases his ideas on current technical conditions, expresses the confident be lief that a price dip of moment will come before the true influences. Inci dent to probable further reductions in the world’s net surplus of American cotton can come into play. Hence the division of sentiment seems as acute as ever, in spite of the beat the Govern ment could do to clear up the mystery of the 19fiT-l4 supply. "Throughout the trading following the Bureau report. New York consistently fought the advance, and after New York's close New Orleans climbed high er Liverpool's night session closed when New York closed. But the foreign markets are due to open this morning practically unchanged on New Orleans and three English points down on New York If yesterday’s advance rather than the New York and Liverpool closing alone be contraated." COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. Hayden. Stone & Co.. “Outside con ditions are so much against speculation that something radical will be needed to cause much change In prices for the lime being.'' Miller Co.. "We continue our ad vice to sell cotton.” Bailey Montgomery: “We believe that it will be difficult, to sustain the market around a 13 cents basis.'’ E. F.
