'BUSINESS SITUATION HIGHLY

- OPTIMISTIC IN THE SOUTH
By A. B. CUNBY,
President A. K. Hawkes Company, Opticians.
Immediate and future opportunities for business men of
the South are practically unbounded. And this is entirely con
sistent with unselfish patriotism, and having the welfare of our
‘ fellowman at heart. Atlanta especially is
ik fortunate-by reason of her assured military
W - prominence. /
f w Prosperity is not on the way—it is
B ] here
e . There is.an increasing demand for al
o R most every meritorious produet, which in
€ o many instances can not be manufactured
. rapidly enough to supply the demand.
i ; The South is handicapped by reason
? o of comparatively inadequate manufactur
’}g‘ ‘ ing facilities which would give employ
‘_ ment to the laboring class. The business
man who embarks intelligently in manu
facturing has faborable conditions for success, besides proving
a benefactor, and promoting general prosperity.
With our rapidly expanding foreign trade, and increas
ing manufacturing industries—with our farmers learning the
importance of diversification, and the value of secientifie
methods—with ready markets and record prices for farm
products, and the Government preparing to protect the con
sumer from extortionate prices of staple commodities, it is
inconceivable how the situation can be viewed other than op
timistically.
The South is coming into her own.
Prosperity is here. Let us use it wisely.

Augusta, Ga., wires: “l have just
taken another automobile trip to Co
lumbia, 8. C., a distance of about 80
miles, and I found cotton in a most
excellent condition. In fact, Ido not re.
memebr ever having seen a better crop.
1 have noticed that considerable oat land
had been put back in cotten, which
now is about 8 inches high and doing
well. Farmers are using high grade
fertilizer freely.”

Lancashire mills are consuming cot
ton at the rate of 50,000 bales a week,
say mall advices from that market. A
gpot firm writes: ‘‘Manchester, of course,
is disorganized by the new restrictions.
The Government is making an exhaust
ive inquiry into stocks at mills,
consumption, etc., which may influence
its future policy..ln the meantime some
surprise was caused by the announce
ment at the recent Government confer
ence that Lancashire mills, held 300,000
bales, which was more than had been
thought.” —New .Yo.rk . Commercial.
Cables rexort that Neill's estimate of
acrea,e of American cotton this year to
tals 37,250.000. Heo?)g'urel crgg&ulbm
ties at from 12,50.0, o to 15,300, bales.

Weevils appear to be well under con
trol in Alabama. Correspondence from
the infected district says that not more
than one grub i{s found in a dozen fallen
squares and that it is very hard to find
any old weevils. Farmers are destroy
ing the grubs and thus keeping down
progafation. The ecrop has caught up
with {ts lateness and promises a larger
production than last year. Fields are
clean and the plant is looking well.

‘ GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS,
| Bartlett, Frazler & Co.: “We are rather
inclined to look for a somewhat lower
corn market this week. Oat market
has had a pretty good advance, which
should be sufficient for the present.’”

HOME CANNING
"“We cat what we can and what we can’t—
we can,” is no longer oonfined to the man
with the hoe. It is becoming a national sle
gan and the can is being cleansed of its no

the Jar.

THOMSON-M'KINNON ON GRAIN.
CHICAGO, July 28.—Corn: Assuming
that a $2 minimum will be fixed for
wheat in western markets, and presum
ing that placing the minimum at this
high level is evidence of do’lin to stim
ulate {)roductlon. it may/be that the
same ideas relative to corn will pre
vail with Federal authorities. Inas
much as the greatest demand for cash
corn at present is for the white corn-‘
meal: in other words, for food purposes, .
the $2 level for wheat is a suggestion
that the new crop will not come to mar
ket around the $1 level. It is, however,
too early for theories of this sort to be
a market factor. At the moment
weather is the prime motive, and bene
ficial showers have occurred over good
ly portion of the belt.
Oats: While there are indications of
freer selling of new oats by the coun
try, it is not possible that there will
be any particular movement to this
market until well into next month. July
prices, therefore, will conform to the
old oats. Position of the new crop
futures has been weakened by the re
cent advance and should be influenced
by Increased country offerings,/

DUTTON & CO.’S STOCK LETTER.
NEW YORK, July 23.—The big part
of Saturday’'s buying was shorts.
Brokers' loans are good deal reduced
and prices are down conltdcnbl{, so it
is hard to force liquidation. There is
a better feeling in the generdl railroad
group. People who ought to know pre
jct a reduction in St. Paul dividend.
On the other hand, there is accumula
tion in C. & O. With the tie-up in
Washington, we cannot expect any real
market until every-one knows where
they stand. So far it is chaos.

Administration Has No Intention
to Deal Harshly With Any
body in Program,
By BOERSIANER,
CHICAGO, July 23.—-In "“the streét,”
where memory should be long, it is
short, Just why the denizens of the
financial thoroughfare forget quickly
and easily and, therefore, are quite
lost to the sense of analogy is not
rationally explainable,
Perhaps it is because they trade
for the moment; are actuated by the
signs and psychology of the day; also
for the reason that their minds are
so engrossed by what may be—by the
future—that little thought is left for
the past.
This explains why “sentiment” in
and around the bourse changes with
rapldity that amazes and bewilders
laymen, the outside element; which
makes commitments, as a rule, in ac
cordance with & carefully reasoned
plan, premised on the street's latest
'sentiment, only to find a few days
later that ‘“sentiment” had radically
reversed Itself.
The former head of an old broker
age house (one who did a large busi
ness for personal account) attributes
his multimiliions to his ready adapta
’blllty to current sentiment. At home
in the evening he would plan a coup.
But the next day, on the Stock Ex
change, he would change his mind,
would either do nothing or do the re
verse of what he had planned the
night before,
Nothing had occurred overnight to
’lhattar his schemes, but something in
the alr of the bourse warned him;
‘somethlnt undefinable, inexplicable,
which communicates itself to the
lnervu of an intuitional person. Pro
fessional operators rely little on the
\past; they disdain financial history.
. - -
But the men in finance who do per
manent things, who look beyond the
day, the week, the month and even
the year, who have vision without be
ing visionary, have a good memory
and a respect for financial hutory.i
These men remember what high
financiers thought during the first
months of the war, and those thoughts
should be instructive today. |
Financial leaders thought the Unit
ed States would eventually be in
volved, but. it was too early for them
to judge as to which side. The para
mount issue--between autocracy and
democracy—had not yet become clear
to them. There seemed a possibility
that Great Brtuiz might commit a
grossly provocative act, though al
ready at that time it looked to finan
clers like a 10 to 1 chance that Ger
many would be the aggressor.
It was unanimous opinion that if
Great Britain provoked the United
Btates it were prudent to close the
' stock exchanges here immediately.
‘The effects on Amerigan securities
were disastrous and on commerce
depressive. There could be no ex
ports to Europe.
If, hoewver, Germany forced the
country to take up arms, the contrary
-—a boom-—would ensue, following a
reactionary interval. Aside from the
military question, it was the belief
that Germany was in the wrong; that,
being in the wrong, sympathy was
against her, and the importance of
sympathy in such a war was recog
nized.
- - .
That which was a sound postulatel
in the latter part of 1914 is a sound
postulate today. The war with Ger
many should not be regarded as a
financial and commercial depressive.
The probability in 1914 was reason
ably evaluated; the actuality of 1917
may be as reasonably summed.
True, our responsibility is great,
but 1t is not greater than financiers
would have been willing to under
write in 1914. All that is taking place
was practically foreseen, not exclud
ing the economic regulations about to
be signed in Washington.
The “street” and many others not
of the street scoffed at what men in
finance saw. Some on change mostly
continue to scoff whilst there is war
ring and brawling over war taxation
and taxes on profits; whilst there is
a senseless campaign to make people
“DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETA
"
BLES IN THE HOME'
Again, where canning is not practicable, or
oans and jars are too expensive, f¥ruits and
vegetables may be dried in the home and
stored for future use, this being of especial
value In the cases of gardens and frult plots
where ofttimes quantities of surplus prod
uots go to waste sach l"" also for saving
portions of food which are too small for
oanning, all of which is carefully explained to
the last detall in Farmers’ Bulletin No. 8414
“Dryin‘ Fruits and Vegetabies in the Home,
just off the prese.
The importance of these tweo bulletine can
not be overestimated, and if every housekeep -
er would avail herself of this information and
de her bit there would be ne foed problem
in this country. -

fear we day by day to darkness
crawl.
But the sneers of 1914 hold to their
tenet—that the war with Germany
will not disafect this country's eco
‘nomlc structure,
~ There is no intention in administra
tive circles to be harsh to anybody.
‘There {s, on the contrary, an {ron re
‘solve to be failr to everybody to take
‘uccordlng to the ability to pay taxes
and yet not to impose an impost that
‘mluht impede ability and discourage
~energy.
Does anybody outside of a bear
cligue or an extortioner's den con
tend that the publicly quoted prices
for prlxne commodities and manufac
tures are within 25 to 50 per cent
‘what they should bo—and will be,
once they are regulated? Does any
‘body suppose that the industries
‘whlch profit most by war should not
‘defray proportionally the expense of
war?
One may safeuly suppose further—
and be as one with responsible finan
clars—that these vastly benefited in
dustries will make a highly satisfac
’tory showing to their security hold
ers after the Government gets its just
percentage,
To allay needless anxiety the Gov
ernment will soon issue a statement
relative to war orders, profits and
taxation. It will be definitive in con
viction and reassurance.
