- NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—The pro
nounced change of the government's
attitude totward labor, which came
after the close of the market on
Thursday, and the decision of the rep- |
resentatives of the shopmen to accept
the proposal of President Wilson that
they postpone taking definite action
for ninety days, when it is expected
that the federal authorities will have
obtained results in its campaign to
reduce the high cost of llvl.n‘. had a
most stimulating influence on the
prices of securities yesterday. An:
nouncement that the Southern Pacific
had won suits brought by the govern
ment against it in the lower courts of
California was also used to advantage
by the bulls. Buying for the account
of shorts was urgent through the ses
sion, especially at the opening, and
when the gong sounded for the end of
dealings standard issues ;sowed net
Jains ranging from 2 to 3 points, with
some specialties showing advances of
as much as 12 points,
The bullish demonstration was such
that United States Steel common,
which sold ex-dividend, moved into
new high territory for the present
movement. The oil shares an% mo
tors were strongly supported all day,
notwithstanding substantial profit
taking sales.
Initial gains at the opening of the
session ranged from 2 to 3 polnts.]
The overnight news resulted in an
unusually urgent inquiry for shares.
After the first fifteen minutes of
business realizing sales appeared, and
caused momentary recessions from!
the best, but all offerings were read
ily absorbed =o that by noon pricos‘
once more resumed their upward
movement. About half an hour be
fore the close the list began to ease
off, but the lower quotations in
duced additional purchases which
continued up to the end of trading
and left prices near the best.
Best opinion in t:t street after
the close of the market was that the
upward movement would probably be
continued at least in the early trad
ing on Tuesday. The strength which
prevailed at the end of the session
was most impressive. |
The rise in Southern Pacific at
tracted much attention.
Shares of ofl companies took a
prominent part in the demonstra
tion of optimism. Mexican Petroleum
was the leader of this group, closing
at the top price of the session and
with a net gain of slightly more than
18 points. Pan-American Petroleum
was also a favorite and advanced
nearly five points. Sinclair Oil and
Trans-Céntinental Ofl shared in the
upward movement. |
Shorts in Crucible Steel received a
licking from which they will smart
for many weeks, Brokers said that
the rise of more than ten points was
due almost éntirely to the fact that
the insiders who are running the
market in the stock Thursday called
in practically all of the stock that
had been loaned. This resulted in a
stampede on the part of shorts to
get back the shares which they had
sold. The quotation closed a shade
under the best, indicating that the
rush on the part of shorts was in
full swing when the session ended.
If the present demonstration con-.
tinues in even modified form there
will be quite a few new offerings
which will , make their appearance.
Several are already groomed and
await favorable auspices for their
launching. ‘

Concrete evidence that the agitation against high prices and the nu

noticeale degree is furnished in this month’s statemeent of the Atlanta
sTy Clearing House Association, which shows that clearings

Newise e g 8 This morth’s gigantic total surpassed the same)
g™ S 8 month's clearings of 1917 by ALMOST ONE HUNDRED
2 i AND THIRTY-THREE MILLION DOLLARS. \
B The month's record clearings, while the fourth heav-
Theno K fjest in the present year, reflects exceptionally large
G R husiness in all lines, despite the fact that August usuany
E 98 is the dullest period during the summer. Retailers as
amsmemammenssouoe Sert that August business showed little or no abate
ment from the heavy sales that‘ have prevailed all sum
mer, and state that they are preparing for the greatest fall trade in history.
The blockade on Whitehall street, while it has put the public to great in
convenience, has not interfered with business to any marked degree, Busi
ness leaders are extremely cheerful and believe that the present wave of
labor unrest throughout the country soon will be quieted.
Clearings for August brought the aggrogate for the first eight months
of the present year up to an unprecedente? total of $1,875,807,271.98; as
compared with $1,455283,962.47 the same period a year ago—~AN IN
CREASE OF $420,523,309.51, and were within less than $30,000,000 of sur
passing the same eight months’ total in 1917 by ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
The increase over the corresponding period in 1916 discloses an amazing
aggregate of $1,342724 834,10, while the same months’ clearings in 1915
were buried out of sight by a COLOSSAL gain of $1,452,547,166.26.

Weekly Fruit and Vegetable Review
Following is the weekly review of
United States department of garicuiture
fruits and vegetables as issued by the
pr%« to Jubbcr and shipments for the
United Btates for the perfod of August
19-26 inclusive: .
Market conditions are about as usual in
lata summer. Ppices tend generally lower
as the volume of total shipments ap
rmm)u height of season, except some
ines which are nearing end of heavy
movement but which failed to advance
because quality is irregular and oompo(m’
lines abundant. Total shipments 12,85
cars compared with 12,260 last week and
with about 10,000 cars for corresponding
weeks last year “and the year before.
Bhl{)menu should tend to inerease rapldly
until height is reached, which last year
was Aduring last week in September and
In 1917 was during third weck in October,
depending chiefly an how soon potato dig
ging reaches height: as potato shipments
comprise one-third te one-half the total
carlot ghipments. Decreases in shipments
this week \\nn chiefly in apples, pears,
Ary beans, | oranges and cantaloupes and
increases in pout?. sweet potatoes, cab
bage, onlons, peacfies and grapes.
POTATOES CONSIDERABLY LOWER.
Supplles are increasing liberally nnd‘
prices tend downward as season Ap
proaches s height. Last year peak of
uhlrmam- was reached about October 1
and was reached in 1917 the third week In
October. Prices last year tended down

- Georgia is destined to hecome t)lo"
S'eatest tohacco growing State in the
nion, in the opinion of W. W. Drfi-!
kell of snar;:. ‘farm demonstration
agent of Hamdock County, who has
just returned from an inspection trip
of seventeen Georgia counties. He is
in Atlanta on a visit to his brother-in- |
law, Fred Houser, secretary 'of the
Atlanta, Convention Bureau. j
“All gray soil in Georgia that is wall‘
drained is idéal for growing tobacco
of the best grade,” said Mr, Driskell.
“It only requires expert attention und{
experienced handling to make great
crops in Georgia."
Every portm in South Georgia who
has experimented in growing tobaceo
has been successful where proper
methods of curing and planting were
used according to Mr. Driskell
Where failures have been reported it
was found that the persons growing
the crop were inexperienced and had
also failed to grow cotton and other
products succassfully.
| WAREHOUSES ERECTED.
Tobacco warehpuses have been
erected at Abbeville, Ashburn, Fitz
gerald and other towns. On tobacco
market days in those places great
erowds of buyers and sellers congre
g\ate, and it looks like a scene on the
New York Cotton Exchange in &
small way, Mr. Driskell said. }n
One man moved to a Georgia coun
ty from South Carolina and started
to raise tobacco. He was experienced
in tobacco culture and planted fif
teen acres of the product, He grew
22,500 pounds of best quality tobaecco
on the fifteen acres and received an
offer of 50 cents a pound for it. This
erop netted him about §II,OOO, accord
ing to Mr. Driskell,
This comparison will give an idea
of the difference in profits from to
bacco and cotton, according to Mr.
Driskell, and is one cage out of ten,
He said this farmer spent but SSO on
labor,
REQUIRES ATTENTION,
“The chief thing about tobacco
growing is to see that it is done right
from the time the plant is put into
the bed until the plant has been
cured,” said Mr, Dirskell. “It requires
much attention and must be watched
carefully, but it is a four-month crop
and money can be realized on it four
months after the plant is trans
planted.”
Growing tobaceco in South and Cen
tral Georgia is a new thing, as the
farmers in those sections have paid
most attention to corn and cotton.
The land formerly was covered with
timber, but since the timber has been
cut off is being used for agricultural
purposes.
Experienced tobacco growers of
Virginia and the Carolinas have lo
cated in some of the counties in Geor
gin and their success has demon
strated that tobacco can be made a
wonderful gl:op in Georgia.

Tenants Form Soviet to
Get Best of Landlord
(By Universal Service.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Thg-latest
way of getting the best of a land
lord, according to Abraham Levow,
who owns an apartment house, is for
the tenants to form a soviet, declare
war to the death on the landlord, fire
the janitor and just run things them
selves. It is all very simple, but Le
vow somehow doesn't like it. Any
way, he emitted a roar in the Harlem
Court. :
He declared the women among his
tenants had formed a Red Guard and |
paraded through his apartment house |
shouting: “The bolsheviki are in con-‘
trol!” He had a lot of them in murLl
They had collected S3OO rent money,
he wailed, and he hadn't seen enough\
of it to buy a dog biscuit. |
The lawyer who represented the ac
cused women said the service of dis
possess notices had started the row.
They were given until September 4 to
present their side,

Cox'rmvzn prosperity depends upon two things—the pro
duction of more goods and ability to market this in
creased production at a profit. Labor and capital must both be
profitably employed.
Advertising is being used, and will continue to be used in even
greater measure, toward the solution of those two problems.:
‘That is why business men are interested in the great
Advertising Convention
New Orleans, September 21-25, 1919
At this meeting internationally known representatives of the
employer and the wage earner will discuss plans for uniting
capital and labor for greater production.
Advertising men understand the other fellow’s viewpoint.
When the right plan is suggested, they will do their part in
getting the message to the employer, the worker, the con
sumer, in a language each understands.
In like manner, this great meeting will be directly helpful in
pointing ways toward new and larger markets. '

SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919,
(By International News Sorvice.)
WASHINGTON, Aug, 30.—Freedom
and self-determination for Ireland
were urged before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee today by Jus
tice Daniel F. Cohalan of the New
York Supreme Court and by former
Gov. Edward Dunne of lilinols, Frank
P. Walsh and Michael J. Ryan of
Philadelphia, the three members of
the Irish Independence Committee,
Judge Cohalan urged the rejection
of the League of Nations covenant
by the Senate: He asserted it was
“un-American” and would “perpetu
ate British oppression and tyranny.”
“Speaking on behalf’ of the great
bulk of American citizens of Irish
blood, who number more than 20,000,
000 of our population, we are opposed
to the proposed League of Nations for
many reasons, all of which we believe
vitally affect the interests of our
countsy,” Judge Cohalan said. “We
are opposed to the creation of any
superstate, or combination of nations,
that will interfere with the independ
ence of or with the sovereignty of the
United States.
OPPOSED TO LEAGUE,
“We are opposed to the League of
Nations because it practically turns
over to England the control of all the
seas of the world and puts us in a
position where our right to trade and
to carry on commerce with the other
peopels of mankind is subject to in
terféerence by England at any moment,
so that whenever her interests or her
inclination required it, our commerce
would be driven from the seas and we
would be unable to carry on business
except in our own country,
Signed by many prominent Irish-
Americans, a memorial urging the re
jection of the treaty of Versailles by
the Senate, “as a direct violation of
the principles on which the war was
fought,” was presented to the com
mittee,
AGAINST SECRECY.
TWalsh offered to submit “confiden
tially” to the committee in executive!
gession what transpired between him
nnd his assoclates and President Wil
son and the other American peace
commissioners at Versailles when the
“rights of Ireland were vainly being
pressed there.” |
Senator Johnson of California ob
jected to “any secrecy” or to any in
formation Walsh gave the committee
“being regarded as confidential in
these dayvs of open covenants openly
arrived at”
It was then declared that anything
- Walsh had to communicate he should
relate publiely.

to get the amendments to the rood
control aet, requested by Attorney
General Palmer, before the Senate for
a vote, ‘
Senator Harrison of Mllslsdpfl
conferred with Senator Sterling of
South Dakota in an attempt to have
the prohibition enforcement law laid
aside when it comes up and have
tha senate take up the consideratiom
of the amendments which would give
the attorney general the power to
punish those who make unjust and
unreasonable prices. Senator Ster
ling has been given the right of way
with the prohibition’ bill after the
oil land leasing bill is disposed of. (
“I am hopeful that I will- be ante
to reach an agreement with Senator
lsterllmz s 0 that the amendments may
be taken up by the Senate next week,”
Senator Harrison said today.
“I don't belleve that it will take
up very much time of the Senate and
will not delay action on the prohis

don’'t think the fight against these
amendments will be a long one.” }

“We were not welcome at the Hotel
