You have a piano you want to sell—a Refrige rator, a Range, used Furniture, old Clothing, or something of a like nature. Write Out a Want Ad NOW—Phone M. lOO or Atlanta 8000 and Let's Get Busy In Granting Interview to Speyer, President Shows Disposi tion to Learn, By B. C. FORBES. President Wilson is now willing to listen to financial reason. The Wash ington dispatches that he granted a 30-minute interview with James Speyer, the international banker, have been accepted as an encourag ing omen, for heretofore the door of the White House had been regarded ss closed to any citizen identified with Wall street • * * Mr. Speyer is one of the most level headed. democratic, broad-minded financiers America can boast. His sympathies are not confined to high finance. He takes a broad-gauge, long-range view of economic prob lems. To him workers are not mere animated machines, mere automa tons. They are human beings, cast In the same mould as himself. He is active in charities and in organiza tions that deal with the unemployed. * • * It is to be presumed, therefore, that in his talk with the President, Mr. Speyer did not fall to emphasize the need for straining every effort to stem the onrushing tide of un employment. 1 discussed this phase of the situation with Mr. Speyer re cently, and I know he regards it as most important and as demanding the most serious consideration. As a director of concerns employing many thousands of men. Mr. Speyer naturally has first-hand knowledge of industrial conditions. • • • Mr. Speyer is even more intimate ly identified with railroad systems. None knows better than he the plight into which the railroads are sinking. It is believed—and hoped—in finan cial circles that Mr. Speyer could not have neglected the opportunity to impress upon the administration the actual railroad status to-day and the outlook for to-morrow if things continue in their present direction. * * * Henry Walters, financier and rail road authority, recently remarked to a friend, I am told, that there were 28 railroads, big and little, which would fall into receivers’ hands were nothing done to stop the current trend. He had the names of the 28 at the tip of his tongue. • * * Last week I made a public plea to the Interstate Commerce Commission to forego part of their holidaying, take off their coats and get to busi ness in dealing with the Eastern railroads’ request for higher freight rates. I would repeat that exhorta tion with even greater earnestness now. The prevailing uncertainty is paralyzing. It should not be pro longed one unnecessary day. Con ditions are unhappy enough without needlessly aggravating them by a dilly-dallying, what’s-the-hi/rry pol icy in so grave and pressing a mat ter. • * • Aren't a revolutionary new tariff and an impending new currency law unsettling influences enough for the present? Why pile on the agony by gratuitous acts of omission or com mission? • • %» If the entente cordials could only be firmly established between those who employ men and those who are running the Government, a return of confidence would be greatly has tened. • * * Unfortunately, the Treasury De partment is at loggerheads with banking interests and has followed a policy that lias evoked widespread criticism. The intimation that whole sale. country-wide prosecution of bankers is being planned by Treasury officials is construed as a fresh indi cation of the relations between the department and those who manage the banking business of the land. So long as a spirit of hostility exists, the possibilities of an unsettling rupture will not be dismissed from mind. ♦ * * May it not be that President Wil son will take a hand in smoothing out existing wrinkles in the general situation? The financial community has more faith in him than in the majority of his Cabinet. • * * Even a rumor that real heavy weights would be chosen as mem bers of the Federal Reserve Board, the overlords of the nation's new banking system, was accepted grate fully by financial circles yesterday. The rumor, however, was very thin. It named James .T. Hill as prospec tive chairman of the board. Mr. Hill months ago declared he would NOT accept a. position on the board. Paul M. Warburg was given as another selection. Mr. Warburg told me yes terday afternoon that the news was news to him—that, indeed, he didn’t believe it, was news, only talk. * * * If the Government could induce men of Mr. Warburg's caliber to join the Federal Reserve Board, even if for only the first year, our national bankers would lose much, if not all, of their nervousness over the admin istration of the new system.

"pre awaited with nervousness by tne bulls, for It was realized they would Kim* a cue to the Impression which the .•relgners made of the bearish Census ginning figures, Issued Saturday. Liv erpool just about responded to the break here at the close of the week, resulting in the cotton market opening barely steady, with prices at a net decline of *«. joints from the initial range, l he selling was rather active on the de cline, coming mainly from the ring Near positions declined 1 to 3 points from the opening On the second break there was a good demand for foreign accounts, which brought some covering by shorts. This er.eouiageu some buying by spot houses and prices rallied within a point or two of the previous close. The tone was firmer. Pandemonium broke loose during the extreme forenoon, when the South ring and leading spot' brokers flooded the niarket with Christmas cotton, result- lng in prices going into new low grounds for the movement, or over $10 a bale lower than the high levels established in October On the break January dropped to 11.75, December 12.01, March 12J)2 and May and July sold at 12c. J he market was friendless. Those who fought fo ra reaction at the outset turned sellers, leaving the list entirely In the hands of the bears and they hammered every option In the list un mercifully. Buying orders were lacking until these levels were established. Then a wave of scattered covering by shorts caused a few points rally. However, the selling continued aggressively. Conservative operators say the mar ket Is slightly improved through the heavy liquidation of late but the buy ing power is insufficient to lift it. They also contend that no advances of con sequence can be sustained until the South stops selling spots. At the close the niarket kas steady, with prices at a net decline of 16 to 18 points, except October, w-hieh was H points lower than the final quotations of Saturday.

HAYWARD & CLARK S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Dec 22 English consols show an advance of ' 4 . and Lon don sends the following: "Decidedly more optimistic in the money situation, decided change for the better in Paris. Sentiment changing and it is consid ered possible that the stock markets will enter the new year with buoyancy.” On our side, a feeling of confidence is likewise gaining ground, now that the currency reform measure is nearly an accomplished fact, and the opposition Is accepting the inevitable with good grace. Liverpool came in as due, about 14 points lower on futures and 16 points lower on spots; sales 7,000 bales. The drop in spot sales shows hesitation, which is only natural after such a se vere break as that which occurred Sat urday in the market of the producing country. First trades here were at a decline of about. 8 points. There was a good de mand, easily accounted for by the very large discount of futures under spot quotations. The inability to buy spots on the decline in futures produces a hedge demand from consumers, while bullish expectations have received a severe shock lately, the belief in jus tifiably higner values on this season’s fundamental conditions of supply ami requirements Is unshaken and invest merit buying is making its appearance. The coming holiday and notice day period may check or delay bullish en terprise until after the turn of the year With the uncertainty attending the making of large crops as demonstrate/! this year present prices are Justly con sidered below a reasonable value. Cotton Gossip The record of gllinings In past seasons after December I follows: 1912, 1,633,- 428,622 bales; 190!*, 1,196.845 bales. 1908, 1 428.^622 bales; 1909. 1.196.845 bales. 1908, | 2.077,344 bales The average for the past eight years was 2,068.400 bales. Theodore Price on his recent return trip through the Southern States, which carried him down the Atlantic States to New Orleans, then across Louisiana and Texas to San Antonio, then north through central Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, says he lias seen enough to confirm his belief that this year's cotton crop will be over 15.000.000 bales. • • • John M. Berry, of Rome, Ga . one of the largest spinners of the State, while here last week, told his friends that the w’orld would be surprised to see what a small amount of cotton yet remains to be ginned in the Eastern belt. Mr. Barry, besides being engaged in the mill business, operates a number of cotton gins. • • • NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22 Hayward & Clark: "The w'eather map shows fair in the Tennessee mountains and North Carolina; cloudy in the rest of the belt, snowing in Oklahoma and rain ing over most of Texas; general precip itation in the Western and Central States." * * * H. F Bachman & Co. sa> "After a decline of l%c per pound, a reaction should i"- In order but we <1© n**t d•«»u for a permanent advance until the gen eral business outlook becomes better. "It is evident that the position of cotton, which is bullish, bus nothing to do with the decline. The depression in other lines and the uncertainty as to the effect of new legislation upon the business of the country, is the real cause of the weakness in the staple. News from Boston that yarns were In very poor den and and that mills were buying only from hand to mouth came at a time, when a 1 faction looked prob able. The effect on the market was dis couraging." * * • Blundell, of Liverpool, cables "'Think decline over, spinnej-s big buyers." • * • 'The local spot market Is reported quiet. There Is a good demand for the better grades, but little offering, lower grades are freely offered and about l 4 of a cent lower to trade, but even at this concession spots are way above fu tures.
