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.

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.

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.

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.
