ATLANTA NOT IfilZINE SILLS
PUTS COTTON OFF
Shelby Smith or S. B. Turman Lead
for Chairman—Laying Plans for
Annual Realty Feast.
Even greater improvement® in the
roads and streets of Fulton County
and Atlanta than vvc\* undertaken ih
1913 are being planned for 1914 by the
members of the Board of County
Commissioners.
The board has arranged to meet
January 8 to reorganize and to out
line the work for 1914. Shelby Smlt.i
is preparing ihs report of the 1913
program and states that it will be
•ve" anti-trust legislation, according by far the best ever submitted
. assurance® given in high Admin-
era tion circle® to-day.
Attorney General McReynolds is
accredited In high Administration dr
ies with having won his contest
hgainst the enactment of any radical
regram for trust regulation such as
imposed in various trade commission
schemes and plans for progressive
nation of corporations.
The Attorney General's"view is that
the present anti-trust law is suffi-
ent. The Administration force® in
the House, how-ever, will insist upon
amendments to the Sherman law pe
nalizing interlocking directorates, and
this it is believed the President
as given his sanction.
The impression prevails here, how-
t-vpr, that no measure which would in
any way hurt any business will gain
\ or at the Administration's hands.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26—There
were no developments over the holidays
to directly affect the market. Financia'
organs and credit men of prominence
generally express satisfaction over the
currency law and look for Increased
trade activity and enlarged credit facili
ties.
About 2,000 January notices were is
sued here this morning &nd partly
stopped by exporters.
The open spot market Is still cheaper
for some of the lower grades and ofT
qualities than the, allowances quoted for
such cotton in respect to delivery on fu
tures. A further widening In the dis
count in some of the lower grades and
in the color differences is looked for In
the next revision. The market eased
about 10 points in the early trading on a
little selling on the January tenders, but
there was ho pressure to speak of and
prices settle around 12.45 for March.
The general opinion is that narrow
markets with a range in fluctuations of
about 30 points are likely, until more
definite information is obtained in re
gard to ginnings during this period.
New’ York reports a more optimistic
feeling in Wall street.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26. —Wheat opened
easier. There were no cables from
abroad and traders were without early
guidance. Snows over tie West and
evenness in corn caused little selling.
Corn was easy as a result of the fore
cast of favorable weather over the bed
and prospects for larger receipts to-da>
Oats wear easy In sympatny with
other grains.
Provisions were firm.
Wheat closed %c to %e lower, corn
%c to %o and oats %c to %e lower.
Hog products were fractionally lower,
with pork losing the most.
There was a small cash demand here
for the grains.

GRAIN NOTES
Bartlett-Frazier Company says:
"Wheat -We look for a dull but
steady market during the next few days
"Corn—Cold weather should improve
the quality of the grain now moving
and so inspire more confidence on the
part of buyers.
“Oat®—The market moves with other
grains. Speculative interest is limited.
"Provisions Liquidation in January
product is still noticeable, but the in
vestment buying of the deferred futures
continues."
MODERN MILLER ON GRAIN.
ST. LOUIS, bee. 26.—General snow
storms over the greater part of the win
ter wheat belt have furnished ample
covering to protect the plant from dan
ger of serious injury from a sudden
freeze.
For the present the condition of the
wheat is all that could be desired, as
there Is no particularly severe weather
reported, and temperature is sufficiently
low to stop insect damage. Steps are
being taken in sections where green
bugs have been prevalent looking to
ward the eradication of these vermin.
Some localities in which ravages of the
Hessian fly were causing uneasiness re
port that owing to protected warm
weather the broods of flies have hatched
and flown away, thus rendering their
destruction by the cold practically cer
tain.
General forecast until 7 p
day:
Georgia- Fair to-night and Saturday, [case.
