THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
Administration Not to Ask Meas
ures Which Might Injure
Business in Any Way,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Presi-
dent Wilson will read to Congress
within a few days after the holiday
recess a message urging “construct
ive” anti-trust legislation, according
to assurances given in high Admin
istration circles to-day.
Attorney General McReynolds is
accredited in high Administration cir
cles with having won his contest
against the enactment of any radical
program for trust regulation such as
proposed in various trade commission
schemes and plans for progressive
taxation of corporations.
The Attorney General’s view is that
the present anti-trust law is suffi
cient. The Administration forces in
the House, however, will insist upon
amendments to the Sherman law pe
nalizing interlocking directorates, and
to this it is believed the President
has given his sanction.
The impression prevails here, how
ever, that no measure which would in
any way hurt any business will gain
favor at the Administration’s hands.

Wind at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Dec. 26.—A
temporary waiting shed used as a
shelter by persons waiting for street
cars at a corner of the public square
was blown down to-day and twenty
persons were hurt.
The high winds that accompanied
a violent storm here to-day broke
many plate glass windows in business
houses and wrecked many small
structures in the outlying districts.
Wires Deplore Death
Of Mrs.A,E.Stevenson
BLOOMINGTON, ILL., Dec. 26.—
Telegrams and other messages of
sympathy were received by hundreds
to-day at the home of Adlal E. Ste
venson, former Vice President of the
United States, on the death of Mrs.
Stevenson last night. She had been
ill since September, when she suf
fered an attack of pneumonia.
Mr». Stevenson had recently com
pleted a book on the history of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, of which she was the oldest liv
ing president general.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26.—There
were no developments over the holidays
to directly affect the market. Financial
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 and partly
stopped by exporters.
The open spot market is still cheaper
for some of the lower grades and off
qualities than the al'owances 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 no 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 cable- from
abroad and traders were without early
guidance. .Snows over the West and
evenness in corn caused l.ttle selling.
Corn was easy as a result of the fore
cast of favorable weather ovei the belt
and prospects for larger receipts to-day.
Oats weer easy ip sympatny with
other grains.
Provisions were firm.

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.
“Oats—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, Dec. 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 th*,t owing to protected warm
weather the broods of flies have hatched
and flown away, thus rendering their
destruction by the cold practically cer
tain.
