NEW YORK, April 28.--Trading was |
s Practically at a standstill on the Cotton
s Exchange at the opening to-day. The
‘lone was very steady, with prices at a
net advance of 4 points, There was
some buving of May and July After |
‘the call business continued small but |
quotations, however, rose 1 to 2 points
fover the initial level, The ring crowd
and local bulls were about the oniy buy. |
“re. There was quite a lot of Julys for
' sale,
The demand tapered off during the
early forenoon and offerings increased
sufficiently to depress prices 2 to 6
points from the early high levels, or
within 1 to 4 points of the previous
viose
The market at Liverpool was small,
with prices 1% to 3 points higher,
After mid-day offerings became much
large: based on the Government's
weckly weather and crop reports, which
was very favorable, showing field work
had been satisfactory during the week
with planting nearly completed in the
southern regwn and prngrunlng satis
factoridy in the central and northern dll-‘
triets. The demand was of a good char
acter. The decline carried Yr!cea 406
points under the previous close. y ‘
The sudden strength of the stock mar- |
ket in the last half hour of trading re
sulted in a brisk demand from Wall
‘street houses who were early sellers.
This lifted prices 4 points from the low |
range. . ‘
Spot cotton was officially quoted 5|
points lower at 12.10, |
xports today were 38,488 bales, l
At the close the market was steady,

Rail List in Brisk Demand
in Final Hour, ’
By CHARLES W. STORM. l
NEW YORK, Ap:i. 25.—The stock!
market opened unsei'ed today on sell-|
ing for both long and short account.i
The failure of the United States Steel
directors to increase the dividend (;aused’
speculative sellihg, and the common
viedded % to 8285, The railway Issuen'
were generally lower, because of in
creased attention attached to the labor!
situation. Reading declined 3, to 81% |
and fractional losses were sustained in
Erie and New Havyen.
The Mexican group was strong !r‘; a |
few minutes, but a supply quickly p- |
peared and those issues lost about all;
their initial gains,. American Bmelting,
after rising % to 94, dropped to 99. |
Mexican Petroleum started 3, higher at |
);"i“'r, and then receded to 94. Baldwin,
Locomotive was the weakest of the spe-‘
clalties and, after opening % higher at |
87, fell to 34. Anaconda was fairly well
held, advancing % at the start to 82%,
but lost the gain under moderate sales.
The marine issues were u?m in good
demand, but showed little change at the
end of the first fifteen minutes. Distil
lers was exceptionally strong, moving up
a point to 495,
In the late forencon price movements
were mixed, some issues sustaining sub
stantial losses, while others were in
vigorous demand and made moderate
gains, Distillers was one of the most
prominent features, advanciug to 50‘u,|
a galn of 1% points in all. Industrial
Alcohol rallled from 144% to 147, but re
acted to 145%. BSteel Common sold at
83, Mexican Petroleum at 85, Anaconda
| at’ 82%, Marine common at 24 and the |
referred at %1%. Greene-Cananea rose |
lz points to 4844, .\llnr of the gpecial
ties were weak, Baldwin selling at 83%
and Crucible at 78%, Business in .the
m&wa) issues was small and fractionul
loskes were noted.
Many issues displayed weakness in the
early afternoon nmf substantial losses
were recorded. Marine preferred was in
free supply, selling down to 80%, while
the common was lin good demand and
advanced from 227 to 23%. Distillers
lost all its early gain, selling at 4R@ .
American Smelting declined a point to |
92%. Norfolk and Western was strong, |
nudvunolnf 21 to 123
| The rallway issues were in brisk de
mand during the last half hour of trad
ing and scored substantial gains, based
on the declaration of an extra Aividend
of 1 ror cent on Norfolk and Western.
This issue jumped to 124%, Union Pacif
¢ advanced to 130% and Pennsylvania
teached 56% .
The market closed steady. Govern
ments unchanged; ralilway and other
bonds strong.
Money loaned at 2% per cent.

arreafn increase is seen in Asrkansas, |
Louisiana, Tennessee and Florida. Hign
price for fertilizers largely curtails their
use; cold Spring causes crop to be about
ten days late in some sections; other
wise season is early in above States
and crop has'a good start.' |

No one disputes Mr. Arnold’s in
tegrity, ability and efficiency as a
prosecuting officer, but they do doubt
the advisability of his holding an of
fice which belongs to the public ‘all his
natural life. '
Mr. Arnold has the above qualifica
tions, but he has no monopoly on them.
Other lawyers in Atlanta are just as
worthy and well qualified, so why con
tinue Mr. Arnold in office longer than
12 years?
5 W, POOLE,- who is asking the
voters to give him the office at this
time, was born and reared on the farm
in Forsyth County, taught school in
Forsyth and Milton Counties, grad
uated at the University of Georgia in
1905, practiced law at Lawrenceville
and Buford, Ga., and has been prac
ticing here in Atlanta for about eight
years, all of which give him as large, if
not larger, experience than Mr. Ar.
nold, he having been born and reared
here in the City of Atlanta, and knows
novhing of country life except “coun
try home” life, and certainly nothing
of plowing a mule from sunup until
dark in the middle of June.
Mr. Poole has not tried to get nor
ask for an indorsement from any law
yers nor any political clique, but, on
the contrary, has gone to the voters
and asked them personally to vote fér
him, they being the ones who should
control the public offices and not a cer
tain bunch of lawyers, and he respect:
fully asks the voters of FULTON
COUNTY to investigate his record
as to character and ability from the
day of his birth to the present, and if
there is a thing against either, don't
vote for him. .
