cotton was active at the orenln‘ of the
Cotton Exchange today with the tone
firm. May and July showed losses of 2
and 3 points, respectively, and other op
tions were 1 to 3 points higher than

and Wall streei interests and commis
sion houses were buyers, Liverpool
bought a small amount of March. The

13.42, and January, 12.49,
Liverpool straddlers and ring traders
sold, but the demand continued excel
lent. The continued strength of the
market, despite expectations of a decline
after a rise of over 80 points, is attrib
uted to continued bullish spot and crop
advices from the South. A wire from
New Orleans stated that spot people
say factors and holders aer not consid
ering quotations at all and that 12%
minimum price is asked and offerings
are small.

levels represented a net gain of 12 to
28 points from last night's close.
Tremendous relllzlnf sales during the
last half hour of trading, based chiefly
on a cable from London saying that

\ Produce Row
AA A A A
By VICTOR BARRON.
Business continues to improve on Pro
duce Row. Wednesday local dealers
were snowed under with orders for all
varieties of greenstuffs, the supply of
which being sufficient to meet all de
mands., The prevailing drouth through
out the, immediate section, as well as
over the entire State, is seriously dam
aging vegetable crops. Usually at this
time of the year home gardens are
moving, which naturally restricts busi
ness on Produce Row, but this season
dealers are finding a ready market for
all their stock at satisfactory prices.
v -a”
For the past week Florida has been
shipping first-class vegetables. Advices
from the largest vegetable sections of
Florida state that good rains have
brought out the crops in fine shape and
from now on until the season closes
good fancy stock can be had.
- . -
Florida will wind up her strawberry
season probably this week. This wili
make Atlanta dependent upon Alabama
and Tennessee for berries, as the home
grown stock is moving in such small
quantities that there i not one-third
enough to even supply local hotels. Ber
ries are quoted at B@lo cents per quart.
- - -
Lettuce continues a very scarce ar
ticle and is selling at high prices. Some
stock Is being brought in by local truck
growers and commanding top prices.
- - -
The demand for fancy tomatoes is
good. Express stock is meeting ready
sale at $1.76@2.25 per crate, while car
stock is ruling higher.
. - L
Small size oranges have the call, but
the supply is far insufficient to meet re
quirements. Large sizes are a slow sale
at much lower prices.
L - L
Local dealers received a car of fancy
Red Blisß new Irish potatoes in ham
pers from Florida Tuesday, which were
rapldly disposed of at fancy prices.
. - .
Two cars of Lima beans from Cali
fornia were recelved Tuesday, which re
lleved the situation here, as they have
been mighty scu.'ce for several weeks.
- -
Receipts of apples—Russets, Ben Da
vis, Illinois Rurs, Willow Twigs—are
sufficlent to meet all requirements.
- - -
Some nice shipments of broilers and
friers reached this market Tuesday,
selling readily at high prices.
. . -
Lemons for future delivery have ad
vanced 26 cents per box, but several
cars of spots on hand here pre
vented prices from advancing in sym
pathy with futures.

John F, Clark & Co.’s
Daily Cotton Lette
NEW ORLEANS, May 10.—Liverpool
showed the full advance due and quoted
_slpou higher with sales of 10,000 bales.
here was nothing in the press to sub
stantiate yvesterday's peace talk, which
may rather be regarded as a lever to
lift :ref-ulnlon in cotton from a state of
indifference in which it has been for
many months, while the real cause for
the advance in cotton is the accumulat
ed short In(erent' which has not yet
been satisfied. Neither foreign nor do
mestic mills have the supply needed
until new crop is available. There is
much more to buy. The advance ves
terday was rapid and the feeling this
mornln, in our contract markets gas
generally reactionary.
Openlng trades were 6 to 10 points
lower, which was followed by a rally
above yesterday's closing prices only to
attract further selling to realize and on
the idea of reaction. The situation of
spots and old crops is unchanged and
favorable to a further advance, while
6w crops on the records and experience
bt all former seasons have probably ar
rived at a selling level. It takes some
time to effect the logical separation be
tween old and new cro?(l fn the mind of
the trade and the market.
Final quotations from all Southern
spot markets show a general demand for
spot uml prices yesterday advanced 14
to a % with Texas markets quoting over
13 cents.
Weather conditions are only partly fa
vorable. Temperatures ranged unusua'-
ly high over Oklahoma, Arkansas, north
Texas and the absence of rain over the
Atlantics is a bullish item. Indications
favor fair, warmer in the Atlantics, but
increasing c'oudiness and cooler in cen
tral and western belt. l.oecal cyclonic
disturbances for Oklahoma and north.
west Texas probable, with a tendency to
general rains, followed by what is pre
sented on the map as an unusually pro
nounced cold wave. It will come on the
grain States and should be felt over the
northwestern quarter of the cotton beit
toward Saturday.

CHICAGO, May 10.—James E. Bennett
& Company received the following crop
advices: ‘“‘Cerro.Gordo, 111., writes the
following: ‘Have traveled considerably
through central Illinois and it looks like
about 60 per cent of a crop of wheat.’
Letter from Louisiana, Mo., says will
have the shortest crop of wheat since
1904. Mexico, Mo., writes about 40 per
cent of a crop of wheat. From Moberly
to here they will raise about enough to
seed with. South of Louisiana, toward
Bt. Louis, looks about 60 to 75 per cen
of the crop. About 50 per cent of corn
ground plowed that is not under water,
and planting is pretty general. Oats
acreage in this vicinity rather light.”
- - -
George M. LeCount wires Finley, Bar
rell & Co. from Wichita, Kans., under
date of May 7, as follows: “Drove sixty
miles today. Wheat affected by green
bpgn and Hessian fly. Fifty per cent is
sickly, spindly and small, = with color
poor, balance gives promise of only an
average crop. Soil is very dry and rain
ig badly needed. Very little corn up.
Soil is so dry seed can not gerniinate.
Weather is hot and windy."”
- L -
Wichita, Kans., wires to . H. Thaver
& Co.: ‘*Just returned 200-mile auto
trip. Wheat doesn't look right—thin,
spindly, lots of fly and needs rain.”
- - -
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. have following
from 8. O. Bartlett & Co., Peoria, I,
under date of May 8: ‘‘Weather 'fine
this morning. Farmers all planting corn
and will finish in a good many places
this week. Don’t look for much deliver
ies of grain at country stations until
after the corn planting, when we will
get a big movement of corn and oats..
We bought the last few days at our
country stations over 75,000 bushels
oats."”
L - -
Logan & Bryan received a letter from
John Inglis, dated from St, Charles, Mo.,
May 6: ‘“Weather favorable last week.
Where there has been anything like a
stand, conditions have lmfroved. Along
Missouri River bottoms only about 65 per
cent of last year’'s acreage seeded. Some
good wheat, but present prospects do
not warrant more than 50 per cent of a
crop on acreafie seeded. On the uplands
across the whole State much has been
plowed up and 50 per cent still standing
will either be put into corn or summeri‘
followed. Fields thin and bare spots
larger than are the fringes where some
wheat is showing up. Weeds also show
ing up. At Carrolton examined wheat
In third joint for fly; found none. On
the bluff in St. Charles County some
fair-wheat; the same Is true in St.' Louis
County. Not much corn planted vet.
Large acreage in oats. Pastures have a
good bottom and are now able to take
care of all stock.”
