Following the sharp rise in futures, Atianta spot cotton Saturday
jumped 70 points—s3.3o a bale—to 26.65 cents a pound, basis good
middling. This represents a net gain for the week of 160 points, or $8
a bale.
- * .
Cotton exhibited pronounced strength throughout the week-end session,
rising to new high marks for the movement, or almost $5 a bale from Fri
day’s close, as the result of persistent buying for trade account, covering
of shorts and general absence of pressure. The New
: P T York market opened 8 to 25 points lower, due to week
b end realizing, but immediately after the call a strong
ot tone developed, with demand coming in from all sources,
B *§B with shorts nervous and «willing buyers on scale up.
! Am ‘8 Spot firms, trade houses—both foreign and domestic—
J "' ""_"‘.f i also were among the leading buyers. Offerings dimin
& ”g * . #8 ished and at times were very light. The high levels!
v 22 e were recorded during the final few minutes of trading,
: " "‘L, with the list reaching a net gain of 66 to 85 points, while
e the New Orleans market rose to a net gain of 38 to 85
points., The start in New Orleans was 4 points lower to
: ’ : 20 points higher, March showing the gain, as the resultj
; - @ of Friday's grade reviston.
L 5 At the top March contracts in New York stood at
L% " 2306, while May reached 22.30, July 21.80 and October
® 20.16. March option in New Orleans rose to 24.37, May
w 2270, July 21.70, October 19.80 afd December 19.23.
The strength of near months was largely due to covering of shorts and
recent spot revisions, which has made it quite unprofitable to deliver the
actual on future cdmmitments. |
Final prices in New York were 55 to 80 points higher, while the list at
New Orleans stood 62 to 77 points higher. ;
At the high level March option in New York stood more than 200
points above Monday’s bottom mark—2o.Bo. The same position in New‘
Orleans displayed a gain of 307 points, or $15.35 a bale above Monday's
10w—21.30.
Optimistic advices from trade sources and the fact that the strike situaA'
tion is daily growing brighter played an impor:ant part in the rise. In ad- |
dition to this, Friday's consumption report, showing that mills used more
than 30,000 bales in exxcess of the amount consumed during the same
month a year ago, #nd that active spindles were the greatest in the history
of the cotton industry, combined with the fact that exports so far this
season now are within 5,000 bales of equaling those of the corresponding
period, sent another dagger into the hearts of those against the market.
Also, the growing agitation for a big cut in this year’s acreage and the
strong holding movement of cotton throughout the belt are beginning to
make the bears sit up and take notice of the fact that they have worked
themselves into a most dangerous ground and that they will experience
oon§iderable difficulty in “getting out,” except at great expense.
The recent rainy weather also .hns. set crop preparations backward.
:}rlao;ger strong argument back of thie rise is the cancellation of fertilizer
A prominent local cotton merchant informs the writer that some of
the largest planters around Newnan, Ga., have canceled ordeys for fertilizer.
The bear crowd may think that the South is bluffing about cutting this
year's acreage if they want to, but all signs certainly indicate that farm‘-gi;xl
mean business this spring. y l
A better demand is daily developing for cotton and highe
are being offered, but little staple is changing hands. gher Pmmiumsl
Holders of th-eactual know they have the situation in hand |
determined to win this battle with the mills and the speculative ele‘:rr)’:n:rei
If the bear crowd had such fundamental facts as the bulls’ have ati

COTTON NEWS,
Bradstreet says thai in cotton goods
grirps it is feit that the market is within
alling distance of demand.
. . -
The Times-Picayune says: “The consid
erable increase. shown in consumption by
American mills during Januagy compared
with January last year, when a decrease
had been expected due to the talk of cur
tailment of produection and bad trade, was
a genuine surprise to traders and had a
stimulating effect on the market. It is
difficult to escape the conviction that the
talk of curtailment and diminished con
sumption was part of a bearish propagan
da to frighten Southern spot holders into
parting with their cotton at lowér prices,
This impression i 8 further borne out_ by
the showing that mills stocks have shown
a considerable relative shrinkage during
the past month and the total of active
spindles at the end of Januhry was the
greatest on record,
“The influence on the contract markets
of recent revisions of quotations by South
ern markets has been most favorable ow
ing to the fact that the greatly lowered
differences on the lower grades will make
it improbable such grades will be tendered
on contracts, Near months have already
drawn closer to spot values and It i 8 be
lieved that the spot demand will be stim
ulated by the lowerifig of the high basis
that has heretofore prevailed.”

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—Anticipation that
the Victory Loan will be made unusu
ally attractive to insure its success has
encouraged a flood of selling of .out
standing Liberty bonds, which has de
pressed them to the lowest level since
their issuance. Although general mar
ket conditions have shown signs of im
provement since the beginning of the
week, the Liberty issues have continued,
their gradual downward movement. ‘
These bonds are now selling at bar- |
gain prices. That they are so low is
amazing to experienced bond dca)era.}
Their yields at present market prices
are considerably above municipal la-“
sues, and not far from the return oni
recent emissions of railroad and in
dustrial securities. It is a certainty
)l<hnl one or the other is selling out of
ine
No matter how attractive the Treas
ury Department may decide to make
the Victory Loan, there is little proba
bility the issue will be put out to yield
4 3-4 or 5 per cent. Therefore, it
would seem the outstanding bonds are
investruent opportunities which should
not be overlooked.
It is estimated that millions of
dollare are being lost by Liberty bond
owners through dealings with unseru
pulous brokers and money lenders, who
are buying their holdings at large dis
counts, In some cases as little as S7O
has been paid for SIOO bonds. Although
Government officials and the banks have
made every effort to stop these illegiti
mate practices, no effective measures
have been designed to end them,
The American Bankers’ Association
is conducting a nation wide campaign
to have savings banks make loans to
holders of bonds of small denominations
in the hope of stemming the flood of
selling that has been sweeping the en
tire country. Corporations and wealthy
individuals are able to discount their
bonds at national banks and thus se
cure funds without saecrificing their
holdings, but people of small means
have no place except the savings in
stitutions where they can borrow on
their bonds.
In its circular to every savings bank
in the country the assoclation says:
‘“Encourage small leertfy bond owners
to make loans in case of need, at your
institutions on their notes secured by
their Liberty bonds. This the law of
your State permits you to do. Induce
borrowers to open a savings account
and build it up to pay off the loan.”

Business Situation More
Cheerful, Says Bradstreet
NEW YORK, Feb. 15— Bradstreet's
W(‘P‘(‘{ business review, says:
Trading advices are a shade more cheer.
ful, the movement of peace time industries
oufside of textfle lines is a trifle faster
and collections are a bit better. Those
statements, of course, must be taken with
knowledge of the fact that the buying,
especially of wearing apparel at wholesale
is conservative and not equal to that of a
year ago, that rain and snow the country
over has checked country trade and mar
keting of products, especially of corn and
hogs 4n the west; that lower cotton prices
discourage southern buying und promote
talk of crop area reduction; that a great
mamy textile mill hands are striking or
otherwine idle, pending the mettlement
of the shorter week isstie, and that tho
number of unemployed is larger, owing
mainly to the continued release of men
from the army.
The key to the whole situation seems
still to be the matter of prices, and here
two great industries, textile manufacturs
ing and irom and stee! production, are
allke sufferers, lhnufh dissimilar iu this,
that while steel mills, running at full in
some instances, and eating into the hack
log of unfilled orders, the sapplies of tex
tiles are certainly not being increased
greatly by the short time ruling.

By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—The spring wheat
farmers of the United States will be
taken care of the same as the producers
of winter wheat at the minimum price
of $2.26, in the opinton of Leslie F.
Gates, president of the Chicago Board of
Trad;'aner a four weesk' stay at the
natio capital,
“Some dissatisfaection 1s shown b¥ a
few officials at Washington in the move
ment to pay the spring wheat grower
the same price as the Southwestern or
winter wheat producer’' he said, “but
those whe -now have and will have the
matter in charge are unable to see any
fairness in cutting the price of spring
wheat because. a few claim that the
spring wheat grower has not been to the
expense or trouble of the winter wheat
farmer.”
Protect Millers Also.
It is also gen,emlg‘ believed that it
is the intention of e Government to
take care of all the interests who are
handling and using flour in case of a
decline in that commodity—to pay the
holder the difference between the firgt
cost price and the reduced price.
Mr. Gates said that grain men if
comrelled to do business as individuals
would be placed at a disadvantage with
the bugmz agencies of the allied coun
tries abroad. The buying rowor is con
centrated-—in fact, there is no compe
tition, and the likelihood is that they
will buy all commodities as cheaply as
possible.
The fleld condition of winter wheat
is not as favorable as that reported
four weeks ago, especially in Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, according to a spe
cial n’-{mrt issued by the Price Current
Grain Report. There has been no snow
on the ground. The soll {s dry in many
Jocalities and there has been alternate
freezing and thawing.
Oats Situation Improving.
The fact that exporters have taken
a little interest In the oats market of
late has served to encourage the trade.
There is no indication of any broad ex
port trade developing in the near future,
as their supplies are still large and they
are unable to get ample tonnage to move
them, but the impression prevalls, nev
ertheless, that the situation has im
proved.
One thlnr that has punlfld the trade
was the withdraaw!l of some oats from
vessels at Buffalo. It would have seem -
ed more natural to %g\'-- taken the onts
out of store here and lightened the ele
vator charges, as.the oats could have
Pren carried In the boats to Buffalo for
the balance of the winter without ad
ditional cost.
Domestic demand for oats 18 some
what better and the movement from the
farms continues Lo be restrieted,
Better Feeling in Produce.
A better feeling exists in the provis
jon trade than has prevailed for some
time. The ability of the food adminis
tration to make good on its foreign or
ders, as it had hoped and promised, has
greatly relieved conditions and a strong
situation has developed.
Hogs at the vards vesterday sold 65
cents above the minimum price, and this
in face of all recent complainte that the
fixed value was far too high. 1t is un
derstood that more big Government al
lotments are pending and the trade un
ticipates an enormous export move
ment for many weeks to come.

MISSISSIPPI TG CUT ACREAGE
AND DIVERSIFY, SAYS MARKS
l Mississippi is going to diversify crops more than ever before and “—
tically cut this year's cotton acreage. That was the message brought to
;Atlnnta by M. I. Marks, of Marks, Miss., a former well-known automobile
salesman of this city, but now one of
the wealthiest and most prominent
planters in the Mississippi delta. Mr.
Marks, accompanied by his wife and
children, has just arrived here from
New York, where he wernt to regain
his strength following a severe at
tack of influenza. Mrs. Marks for
merly was Miss Hortense Wasser,
her father being Mr. A, Wasser.
“Eastern business men, manufae
turers and others want to see the
South receive a fair price for its cot
ton,” said Mr. Marks. “Business
conditions in the North and East are
splendid.”
While representing the Ford
Automobile Company here Mr. Marks
led the Southern sales force for sev
eral seasons,
Mr. Marks and his four brothers
own one of the biggest plantatiohs
in Mississippi—7,ooo acres—and his
share of it numbers 1,220 acres. The
plantation was left to them by their
father, the late I. Marks, a pioneer
of Mississippi.
* “When my father bought this
place he paid 40 to 50 cents an acre
for it. That was 45 years ago. Re
cently we boys turned down $l5O an
acre for it \
Mississippi farmers are going to
hold tight to all cotton on hand and
will diversify this year on the great
‘est scale in history,” he said. “Pledges are being signed, and the 3
that don't agree to cut this year’'s acreage will be given rough truh:
'We boys have 1,500 bales of cotton in storage and will not sell for a cent
less than 35 cents a pound. The same applies to the average farmer in
Mississippi. Every one has money and those who have none ean Ctb
get all they want at the banks, which are more than willing to help them.
The cotton I have sold from the 1918 crop brought 35 cents and 1 sold some
‘Adair staple’ for 44 cents a pound. That is the best grade of cotton grown
and measures 1 5-16 inches. s
“We do not use a pound of fertilizer on our land. It is a black, loamy
soil, and for years there has been nothing planted in it but cotton, cotton,
cotton. However, you can bet your last penny that we will grow all the
corn, hay, etc., we need this year” . o
The Marks plantation is in Quitman County, Mississippi, and is so
located that it almost completely surrounds the entire county, as well as
the leading city of the county, Marks. =z
Mr. Marks said while he was in New York he vigited the stock :
cotton exchanges and saw traders in both markets tear their shirts from
their backs in the excitement. “I didn’t believe that those brokers really
did sych things, but they surely do,” he said. . iad
Mr. Marks said he was surprised at the many good roads he has found
ir Georgia, and stated that he was glad a movement is on foot to make
the highways even better, A similar movement is under way in Missis
sippi, he added.
'Your roads are three times better than those in the State of Missis
Bippl,” he continued. “Some of these days I'm goin gto leave my pm
tion and locate here, because I think Atlanta is one of the best cities in
the world,” he added.
