| g T ALI By BROADAN WALL. - 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. ‘ i ———— \ - - i WEEK'S COTTON-RANGE| | Following shows the highest and lowest aunotations of active cotton options at New York and New Orleans Inst week, togeth er with Friday's close, the previovns week clese and net changes for the week: NEW YORK. | | | ll"rl.ka.!Nd s High | Low |Closel Axo./Ches October . . .|531.05/%31.27/31.54/31.271 {27 December, . ,-n.:m}m.uu.u|.n.w+n Jananry, . . | -32.25/*31.55/31.80(31.48' L 32 March . . . .[-32.40/*31,68/31,99/31.65 .34 May . . ,_“.rv_:lt&l.}l&i‘:l.lll.\lfipl.ul»_t.'n e ST ORBRRNR, | | |Fri, | Wk.[Net .

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.

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.
