Following the sharp rise in futures, Atlanta spot cotton Saturday
Jumped 70 points—s 3.3) a bale—to 26.65 cents a pound, basis good
middiing. This represents a net gain for the week of 180 points, or $8

' Cotton exhibited pronotnced strength throughout the week-end session,
rising to new high marks for the movement, or almost $6 a bale from Fri
day’s close, as the tesult of persistent buying for trade account, covering
of shorts and general absence of pressure. The New
P York maret opened 8 to 25 points lower, due to week-
R end reslizing, but immediately after the call a strong
> tone developed, with demand coming in from all sources,
T with sherts nervous and willing buyers on scale up.
a& 48 Spot firms, trade houses—both foreign and domestic—
iale also were among the leading buyers. Offerings dimin-
L% @" g% ished ana at times were very light. The hlfh levels
e b were recorded during the final few minutes of trading,
mfi,‘ 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
ey o S 20 points higher, March showing the gain, as the result
% of Friday's grade revision. \ ‘

o g 23.06, while May reached 22.30, July 21.80 and October
5 W 8 2016, March option in New Orleans rose to 24.37, May
22.70, July 21.70, October 19.80 and December 19.23.
The strength of near months was largely due to coverlglg of shorts and
récent spot revisions, which has madé it quite unprofitable to deliver the
adtual on future commitments.
" 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 lgi%‘h level March option in New York stood more than 200
points above Monday's bottom mark-—20.80. The same pogition in New
,Orleans displayed a gain of 307 points, or $15.35 a bale above Monday’s
0w—21.30.
Optimistic advices from trade sources and the fact that the strike situa
tlon is daily growing brighter plaved an important 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, and 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 5000 bales of equaling those of the corresponding
period, sent another dagger into the hearts of those against the market.
Also, the frowing agitation for a big eut in this year’s acreage and the
strong holding movement of cotton throughout the belt are beginning to
Inake the bears sit up and take notice of the fact that they have worked
themselves ifito a most dangerous ground and that they will experience
considepable diffieulty in “getting ont,” except at great expense. |
The recent rainy weather also has set crop preparations backward.
Arvamher strong argument back of this rise is the cancellation of fertilizer
orders, |
A prominent local cotton merchant informs the writer that some of
the largest planters around Newnan, Ga., have canceled orders for fertilizer.
The beat crowd may think that the Sonth is bluffing about cutting this
year's acreage if they want to, but all signs certainly indicate that farmers
mean business this spring.
A better demand is dally developing for cotton and higher
are being offered, bat little staple ig changing hands. ” -
Holders of th eactual know they have the situation in hand
determined to win this battle with the mills and the speculative elo‘n?gn:”

tlhalr dvsposal.‘ they would send values tumbling. In fact, with the condi

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—Anticipation that
the Vietory Loan will be made unusu
ally attractive to insure its success has
eéncouraged a flood of melling of out
standing Liberty bonds, which has de
pressed them to the lowest level since
their issuwance., Although general mar
ket conditions have shown gigns 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 s
amazing to experienced bond dealers. |
Their yields at present market prices
are considerably above muniecipal ls~j
sues, and not far from the return on
recent emissions of rallroad and in
dustrial securities. It is A certainty
lllhat one or the other is selling out of
ne
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
investment opportunities which should
not be overlooked.
It is estimated that millions of
dollars are being lost by Liberty bond
owrmrn through dealings with unscru
pulous brokers and money lenders, who
are buying their holdings at large dis
counts. In some cases as llttle as S7O
has been paid for SIOO bonds. Although
Government offidials and the banka have
made every effort to stop these ille:iti
mate practices, no effective measures
have been designed to end them,
.~ The American Bankers' Assoclation
is conducting a nation wide campfllfin
1o have savings banks make loans (o
holders of bonds of sinall denominations
in the hope of stemming the flood of
selling that has been sweeping the en
kllrf« eountry, Cofporations and wealthy
indiyiduals are able to discount their
bonds at nationa! banks and thus se
gure funds without sacrificing thelr
holdings, but people of amall means
have no place except the savings in
stitutions where they ecan borrow on
their bonds.
In its circular to every savings bank
in the country the association sayvs!
‘“Encourace gmall Liberty bond owners
to make loans in case of need, at your
institutions on thelr notes secured by
‘lha-ir Liberty bonds. This the law of
. your State permits you to do Induce
imrrown-m to open A savings account
land build it up to pay pu the loan.”

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—The spring wheat
farmers of the United States will be
taken care of the same as the producers
of wintet wheat at the minimum price
of $2.36, in the opinion of Leslie F.
Gates, president of the Chicago Board of
Trade, after a four weesk’' stay at tho
nation’s capital,
““Some dissatisfaction is shown by a
few officials at Washington in the move
ment to pay the sprlns wheat grower
the same price as the Southwéstern or
winter wheat producer' he said, “but
those who now have and will have the
matter in e¢hargé are uhable 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 Alse,
It is also generally believed that it
is the intentien of the Government to
také care of all the interests who are
handling and using flour in case of a
decline in thr\é commodity—to pay the
holder the difference :)Nwevn the first
cost price and the reduced price.
Mr. CGates sald that grain men |f
compélled to do business as Individuals
would be placed at & dluudvunlngo with
the buglng agencies of the allled coun
tries abroad ;rho buying ,mw" I 8 con
centrated—in fact n“-fn s no cnmgw
tiflon, and the likelihood is that they
will buy all comtodities as cheaply as
posgible.
The field condition of mlnter wheat
is not as favorable as that reported
four weeks ago, especially in Ohlo, In
diana and IMinois, according to a spe
,t-ini report issued by the Price Current
| Grain Report. There Has beén no snow
(on the sround. The soll Iz dry in many
loealities and there has been alternate
freezing and thawing

A little interest In the onts market of
late has served to encourage the trade,
There ig no indieation of any broad ex
pori trade developing in the hear fu'ure,
s their supplies are still large and they
are unable to gt ample tonnage to move
them, but the impression prevails, nev
ertheless, that the situation has im
| proved,
i One thing that has {wuulnd the trade
was the withdraaw! of some oats from
! vessels at Puffalo. It would have seem -
| 84 more natural to have *nkf-n’ the oats
{but of store here and YigMened the ele«
| yator charges, as the oats cou'd have
| heen carried in the bonts to Buffalo for
the balance of the winter without ads

Domestic demand for oats is -01’:-

{ A better feellng exists in the provis
fon trade than has prevalled for some
| time. he ability of the food adminia
tration to make good on ite foreign ors
ders, as it had hoped and promised. has
greatly relieved econditlons and a strong
#itnation has developed.
Hogs at the yarde yesterday sold 65
cents above the minimum price, and this
{ln faee of all recent complaints that the
fixe value was far tod high, 1t is un

’ By VICTOR BARRON,
| Mississippl is going to diversify crops more than ever before and dras
;m-nlly eut this year's cotton acreage. That was the message brought to
Atlanta 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 Missigsippl delta. Mr.
Marks, accompanfed by his wife and
children, has just arrived here from
New York, where he went 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. _
“Bastern business men, manufac
turerg 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 hig four brothers
own one of the biggest plantations
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, & pioneer
of Mississippi.
“When my father bought this
?Ilce he paid 40 to 60 cents an acre
or it. That was 46 years ago. Re
cently we boys turned down $1560 an
acre for it
Mississippl farmers are going to
