irg for both long «.d short account.
The, failure of the United States Steel
i directors to increase the dividend caused
| speculative selling, and the common
lvielded % to 82%. The railway issues
| were generally lower, because of in
} creased attention attached to the labor
situation. Reading declined 3, to 81%
fuvvrl fractional losses were sustained in
i Erie and New Haven,
| The Mexican group was slronfi for a
[ few '‘minutes, but a supply guickly ap
| peared and those issues lost about all
{ their initial gains American Smelting
after rising 3% to 94, dropped to 93.
{ Mexican Petrolenm started 7 higher at
|,#6% and then receded to 94. Baldwin
‘Locomotive was the weakest of the spe
clalties and, after opening % higher at
IBT, fell to 84. Anaconda was fairly well
held, advancing Y at the start to 82%,
but lost the gain under moderate sales.
The marine issues were a%lln 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 49%,

stantial losses, while others were in
vigorous demand and made moderate
gains. Distillers was one of the most
‘;.rominenl features, advanciug to 50,
a gain of 1% points in all. Industrial
|.\h-uh.»l rallied from 144% to 147, but re
acted to 145%. Steel Common sold at
83, Mexican Petroleum at 95, Anaconda
|ul §2%, Marine common at 24 and the
preserved at %17%. Jreene~-Cananea rose
2 points to 48%. Many of the special
ties were weak, Baldwin selling at 83%
and Crucible at 78%. Business in the
railway igsuex was small and fractional
losses were noted.
Many issues displayed weakness in the
early afternoon and substantial losses
were recorded. Marine preferred was in
free supply, selling down to 80%, while
the common was In good demand and
advanced from 227% to 23%. Distillers
lost all its early gain, selling at 48@

There were showers yesterday in Ok
lahoma and northwest Texas; balance of
the belt clear. TUnsettled weather is
predicted for Oklahoma, Arkansas and
east Texas today and tomorrow, other
States generally fair.

The Journal of Commerce publishes
its first installment of special crop re
porte today. The report says: ‘A good
acreage increase’ is seen in Arkansas,
Louisiana, Tennessee and Florida. Hign
price for fertilizers largely curtails their
use; cold spring causes crop te be about
ten days late in some sections; other
wise season is early in above States
and crop has a good start.”
We expect a scaling market and
would take profits on R’mg cotton on any
tair-sized rally.

of Fulton County:
e
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? ;
J. V. 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
nothing 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 for
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 investigat{ 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.
