Does $1,460 a Week as Winner of
NEW HIGH LEVELS BETHLEHEM STEELP
J
PROFESSIONAL VIEWS
ON COTTON MARKET
Georgian Contest Appeal to You\ MET HEAVY SftLES; GOES UP TO 1125
How would you Ilk* to earn $1,460
per week for the next six weeks?
Would you go Into a proposition with
energy and determination for that
stated salary'?
Then stop and consider what it
means to the winner of the grand
prize In the Home and Automobile
<'lub of The Atlanta Georgian and
Hearst’a Sunday American.
The combined value of the mag
nificent home Rt Ansl*y Park and the
Maxwell roadster that goes with It, is
$8,750. The contest closes on May 15,
which is less than six Meeks distant
Rut. figuring on a basis of six full
weeks, this means to the winner a
compensation of $1.4fto per week, or
in the vicinity of fZ50 per day for
every day still remaining in the cam
paign.
Let’s do a little more figuring If
' you had this income everv week for a
year you would he knocking down the
little old salary of $86,9520 per aft-
num. The President of the United
States gets $75,000.
The winner fan estimate that,
counting from now out, his time has
been worth over $10 an hour, on a
basis of 24 hours in a day. As the
average working day is about eight
hours, the figure increases to $30
when estimated on that basis.
The beauty of this entire plan is
that while the winner is winnip- the
regular salary is running right along.
This work need not Interfere Jn the
slightest with your regular occupa
tion. A little effort during spare mo
ments will do the trick
Two Day* of Special Offer.
It 1s extremely advisable for the
candidates to note that time .is fa^*t
ebbing away and that the "special of
fer" in which subscriptions count for
more than they will at anv other time
during the campaign will close posi
tively at 10 o’clock on the night of
Wednesday. April 14. There are only
two days left after to-day. and in
these three days some of the candi
dates are going to get in some telling
efforts.
The man or woman who works fast
in the next two days will doubtless
have something tangible to show for
it after May 15. This Is positively the
best offer of the contest, so far as
extra votes are concerned. Do not
lose sight of that fact.
What’s the matter with Florida?
The candidates in District 13. em
bracing all of that State, are woefully
limited and inactive Is It possible
that the prospect of a handsome home
or a magnificent car does Pot appeal
to Florida folk?
Come on ye Florida residents,
arouse vourselves and send in your
nominations. Then hustle around and
get a few subscriptions to The At
lanta Georgian or Hearst’s Sunday
American, or both. The winners even
of thf district prizes Mill have awards
of which they can be proud.
What Is true of District 18 i.y true
also, on a lighter scale, of Districts
12. 14 and 3 5. In District 11 only a
feu of the candidates are making the
showing that the special offer would
seem to warrant.
Chance for New' Candidates.
While the voting in the other dis-
tr.rts is heavier than In those men
tioned. tiie chances for some of the
candidates lower down in the list to
overtake the leaders is good. A glance
at tue vote column will show that.
Judicious activity during the next few
days v ill make it possible for some
of the thus far inactive candidates to
forge to the forefront And come along
strong when the home ttretch looms
into eight.
Stop and recall the figures at the
opening of this article, showing the
earning power of successful candi
date*. You hnve often envied John D.
Rockefeller, Andy Carnegie and some
of the other leaders In the, great
American contest for wealth They
have nothing on the people who win
the handsome prizes offered in the
contest now in progress.
Don’t forget that the opportunity
now confrontt~~ you may never ap
pear again. It is a fact that this is
the greatest contest ever conducted
bv a newspaper in the South, and it is
reasonable to presume that It may
never be equaled in years to come.
Opportunity is knocking at YOUR
door now. The little chap is wearing
the skin off his knuckles and if you
slam the door In his face, don’t ex
pect a return visit. He’s a sensitive
little party, is Opportunity, and if you
throw him down he’ll go and rap at
some other fellow's door
The condition in District 13. alluded j
to above, shows very plainly that
there 1* by all means sufficient time
left to qualify as a winner for pro
spective candidates who have not yet
entered the race.
It ir very true that the early bird
catches the worm, hut there is an
other old saying about "better late
than never" At th|s stage of the
game it can he truthfully stated that
there is ample chance for a new can
didate to get. Into the race and dis
tance nil the old-timers, if sufficient
attention Is paid to the terms of the
special offer.
Don’t, wait to he nominated, dip
the nomination blank, fill it out with
your name and address, and nominate
yourself. This will give you n start of
1.000 votes, which Is quite a factor In
itself. Your first subscription will
give an additional 5,000 votes, making
a total of 6,000 to start.
Subscriptions mailed by candidates
before 10 p. m April 14 will be ac
cepted to apply In the offer if properly
postmarked, even though the letter is
not received until a day or two later.

NEW YORK, April 12.—Mucn better
Liverpool cables than due gave the cot
ton market a steady opening, with prices
at a net advance of 1 to 8 points from
Saturday’s close. There was a good de
mand ^for the far months, with houses
with German connections and spot firms
the leading buyers, principally of dis
tant positions. There was also some
speculative buying in evidence. After
the start, the strength of the market
continued and every option on the list
was carried to new high levels for the
season. May rising 8 points to 9.96, July
8 points to 10.27, October 8 points to
10.69, December 3 points to
January 1 point to 10.92.
At these levels protit-taking orders
were uncovered, but they were well
absorbed. The South was a limited sell
er. Later in the forenoon a wave of
pronounced reaJizing developed, coming
from longs and scattered sources,
which unsettled the market, causing a |
rapid decline, the list receding to a
range of 1 to 5 points under Saturday's
close. Offerings, however, met ready
absorption, and before noon the list re
covered to a range of 1 to 5 points un
der the Initial quotations.
New York 11 a. m. bids to Liverpool
were May, 9.84; July, 10.14; October,
10.57; January, 10.81.
The market ruled steady during the
early afternoon and prices rallied near
the top range, the list being under
scattered covering by ring scalpers, who
got short on the early break. However,
the ring had plenty contracts for sale
on the rise and hammered the entire
list in the last hour, forcing the list
back around the low levels.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices at a net decline of 4 to 9
points from Saturday’s close.
Estimated cotton receipts:

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, April 12.—The reaction
which was in progress at the close of
the market last week apparently had an
influence in inducing a good deal of
outside liquidation, and commission
houses were sellers in many cases on
the bid prices this morning, causing
moderate losses to numerous stocks.
At the same time tiiere was a demand
for other issues, which caused sub-
10.88 "and | s, antial gains, Bethlehem Steel moving
up 2 points to 110 1 /*, while fractional
advances werwe made in Lehigh Valley,
New Haven, Missouri Pacific and
Southern Railway. A gain of a point to
50 waws recorded in American Cotton
Oil. Reading declined a point at the
opening to 151*4, and Canadian Pacific
sold at 168, a decline of 1%.
There was a wide opening in United
States Steel common, sales being made
at the start at 56 and 55*4, and there
was a further shading to 55%, against
56 at the close Saturday. The decline se f (T “ 1 -
H. F. Bachman & Co.: "More favor
able weather conditions in the South,
rising temperatures and prospects for a
dry period have encouraged the, bears,
and the consequence is that the decline
which has been looked for so long has
come. The decline was aided by nu
merous reports from the South that the
demand for ‘spots’ was poor and in
some parts ‘nil.’ While these reports
may have been exaggerated, they nev
ertheless had their influence on the
market and started realizing on a large
scale. To add to the woes of the
friends of the staple came the reports
of a falling off in exports. It is not
easy to see how the market could have
held firm with such factors against it.
The ‘long’ interest was known to be on
a large scale, and the big operators
turned against the market and not only
sold their ‘long’ lines. hut sold ‘short.’
"We think the liquidation of the last
few' days will strengthen the market,
which was recently technically weaw
on account of its overbought condition.
Prices may work slightly lower, but
there is no real danger of a big break
in prices, and we think cotton bought
around 10 cents for October will shortly
show a good profit.”
• * •
Jay, Bond & Co.: “For the greater
part of the past week the New York
cotton market has continued firm, and
under a renewal of general buying
prices have reached new high levels for
the season. The advance received its
impetus from Liverpool, in which the
Continent was reported a buyer, and
while the strength abroad might be at
tributed more or less to technical con
ditions, still the local market disclosed
only a moderate supply when demand
was followed by a sharp rally to 66%
Union Pacific fell % to 129%, but ral
lied to 130%. Amalgamated Copper re
ceded one-half to 67%. but rose to 68%.
There was a good demand for stocks
and some brisk advances were noted in
some of the leading issues in the late
However, this situation of a limited
supply of contracts is at the present
writing undergoing a change, and offer
ings show an increase, owing to the
belief that hedge sales in considerable
quantity will be made in New York if
its present parity as compared with
forenoon. Speculative interest was pther markets is maintained for any
New York Cotton Futures.

length of time. Merchants in different
Southern States are sending word here
to the effect that we offer the most
profitable hedge even for the better
grades of cotton and that arrangements
are being made to take advantage of
the opportunity. Although this charac
ter of selling has not as yet developed
to any great extent, the probability
that it will is causing liquidation on the
part of the old longs, and at the same
time restricting demand. However, the
tone of the market has developed no
underlying weakness, nor is it likely to
unless general conditions surrounding
the spot situation change materially for
the worse."
* • •
Henry Clews & Co.: ‘‘Acreage was
the most widely discussed topic of con
versation in trade circles during the
week owine- no doubt to- the fact that a
number of statistical bureaus published
preliminary estimates. Orte of the best
known of these gives a decrease in
acreage of between 18 and 20 per cent
and in fertilizers from 38 per cent to
40 per cent. This is about in line with
the estimate made by The Journal of
Commerce and may be considered Im
portant only to the extent of its being
confirmatory of the correctness of re
cent general estimates, rather than as
shedding any new light on the subject.
It goes without saying that when the
Census Bureau finds it necessary to
postpone the date of it3 preliminary
acreage estimate from June to July be
cause of the expected insufifieient data,
calculations made this early in the sea
son are purely a matter of guesswork.
However, it is not improbable that the
present general estimates will prove to
he about right. There is no doubt that
the advance which has taken place has
been due in a great measure to the an
ticipated reduction in acreage, and it
is therefore a question now as to how
fully this has been reflected in the
price. Statistical influences are no
longer the strong supporting factor they
have been. Exports are beginning to
show a decided falling off. and this is
quite natural when a review is made
of the present condition of foreign
stocks. Great Britain now has ap
proximately 1.600.000 .bales as compared
with 1.340,000 bales at this time a year
ago. Total European stocks at this
time are estimated at approximately
3.000.000 bales against 2,390.000 bales in
1914."
Orders for Dry Goods
Larger Than Year Ago
Marshall Field & Company, in their
weekly review of the dry goods trade,
say:
“Orders placed through our traveling
representatives for immediate and fu
ture delivery show an increase over the
corresponding week a year ago. Cur
rent shipments have been lighter than
during the same week last year. Col
lections are fair.
“Buyehs continue In the market in
large numbers, and weather conditions
have been more favorable to retail dis
tribution.”

Sentiment Bullish Most of Day,

Corn and Oats Easier.
CHICAGO, April 12.—Shorts in wheat
were iri the market as buyers this
morning and early prices were ]%c to
2%c higher, with the May future th»
stronger of the list. The advances in
wheat in the markets of. the Old World
coupled with the sharp falling off in the
world’s shipments this week, as well a*
the big decrease in the amount of bread,
stuffs on ocean passage, were the lead
ing bullish helps. The rice crop in In
dia shows a heav yshortage and ad
vices from the Pacific coast told of large
quantities of wheat and barley ready for
shipment, but no boats available foi* the
handling of grain even at a much higher
rate of prices. Spot wheat at Liverpool
was %*i higher. Parts %c better and
on passage 3d higher.
Corn was %c to %c better on shorts*
covering. World’s shipments only 2.868 .
OOO bushels, compared with 4,072,000
bushels a year ago. Liverpool spot corn
unchanged to %d higher.
Oats were %c to %c higher.
Provisions were firmer and fractional,
ly higher on shorts’ covering.
MTieat was %c to 2%c higher at the
close. The sentiment in wheat was
bullish most of the day. Values reacted
late on account of the weakness in cash
wheat and the absence of demand from
the shippers, millers or elevators.
Corn was off %c to %c and fairlr
strong most of the session. Cash sales
of corn were 160.000 bushels, all for
domestic consumption.
Oats W’ere %c. off.
