Despite the strike of doffers and spinning room emplayeel at Fall River, numbering 3,000, and spreading of the longshoremen’s strike, the cotton market showed pronounced strength during the afternoon session, with shorts and trade houses heavy buyers. Favorable news with regard to the peace treaty and vigorous rise in stocks was the chief incentives for the upturn, which crrried March to 40.04 and May to 37.23--new high mark. July rose to 3443 and October to 31.88. With the extepton of March, the highest levels were trimmed just before the close on overnight realizing, final prices at New York being 15 to 30 points higher. Following the rise in futures Atlanta spot cotton was officially quoted 25 points higher at 4165 cents, basis good middling. Middling at New York and New Orleans was quoted unchanged at 41 cents. By VICTOE BARRON. Lower Liverpool cables than due, probably due to the German revo lution, together with easier technical conditions and uneasiness over the foreign political situation, resulted in the cotton market opening easier ey \ON day, with prices at New York 25+to 46 points undeyr i Saturday's resting levels, Offerings by longs and ring ‘? professionals were rather heavy at the start, but trade A,&g@g houses, spot firms and shorts were liberal buyers on ’;fd the scale down.

The census report showed that cotton exports to Germany during February totaled 31,835 bales, and for seven months, ended Fehruary 29, exports to Ger man yamounted to 206,284 Dbales. Exports for the first two months of 1920 totaled 1,669,991 bales, against 1.107666 bales the same period in 1919, This brought tetal exports for the first seven months o fthe cur rent season up to 4,429,391 bales, as compared with 3,054,006 bales the same period the previous season, Consumption by domestic mills for the seven months of the season to taled 3.659.795 bales, as compared with 3,386,859 bales the previous cor responding period. With the season five months to run, and sayving that the averag monthly consumption in that period amounts to 500,000 bales, (probally much greater) theé sea son's consumption of cotton by do mestic mills will aggregate 6-159,795 bales, Further reflecting the activity of the cotton mills in this country, the report-ghowed that active spindles in February totaled 34 668643, as com pared with 33282015 in the same month a year ago. With every india‘ion pointing te much heavier exports from now on, it is consefvative to est'mate that the movement of cotton shoard during the next five monthe (ineluding March) will average ‘:bLout 700000 bales, which wuxl-l mean that the season's exports would be swelled to virtually 8,000,000 bales, Combing ex ports with domestic corsumption it means that when the 1919.20 season officially epds—July 31 next--some thing more than 14000000 bales will have beea taken fro mthe South, or practically 3,000,000 bales more than the government estimated the 1919-20 cotton crop at 11,030.000 bales, This. together witn prospects of another meager cotton orop, gives the market a decidedly bullish twist, insofar as the statistical position is ('“"““Tﬂ"d The new cotton ecrop is getting one of thelatest starts in history, espe cially east of the Mississippi River. According to Locke Brown, formeriy of Dalton, but who has moved here. buving a handsome home in Spring dale road. Mr. Brown spent the win= tex in South Georgia-—Ashburn—and sayvs that practically no land has been broken for the new cotton crop, and that farmers in that sectloy assert that unless they can get tHeir seed in the ground by the 20th all hope for a crop will be shattered, as weevils wlli plav havoc with it “In addition to the weevil menace, the South has to contend with a great Imbor shartage, searcity of fertilizer and ln-k of pgood seed” he said. { { { } NEW YORK, March 's.—-The cot [ton market opened easy today at a | decline of 20 to 57 points, influenced |by weak cakties from Liverpool. At I the start there was heavy liquidation of cld long accounts and also active selling by Liverpool but on a scale irlnwr‘. the trade bought extensively. 1 One or two of the old bulls gave sup port and later the list rallied 20 to 25 points, i After reacting 25 to 58 points from {Saturday's close, the market devel oped strength during the late fore noon on increased demand fl‘(']m spot firms, trade houses and shorts, Prac tically the entire decline was regained with March rallying to 39.83; May, 36.78: July, 33.98, and October, 31.40. Continued heavy buying by shorts and trade houses, due principally to the sharp advance in securities and a more optimistic treaty news from Washington, lifted the market sharply higher during the afternoon, iwnh March rising to 40.04 and May ’to 37.23, or new high marks.

Business Outl usiness Outlook Brighter, Says C righter, Says Clews Henry Clews and Company’'s weekly busi ness and financial review follows, in part: ‘“Very much aere hopeful conditions both in the speculative and investment markets have been the order of the day during the past week. Not only have prices advanced and money become easier, but there has been a bhetter attitude on the part of*beth government authorities and the publie generally. Business reports from all over the country indicate that the underlying commercial” and indus trial situation is in most respects sound and the natural response of the prices of securitias with this change in the outlook has been seen in a decided up ward trend. ‘“While the domestic outlook has thus been one of increasing and wholesale optimism- the intermational situation has been stagnant and unsatisfactory. “Quite the outstanding feature of the past week in the deftnestic field has heen seen in the two decisions handed down by the Supreme Court on March 8, in the socalled stock dividend and Kansas City Southern cases. Both decisions are long and complex and only the substance of them can be stated in brief form. The stock dividend - decision holds that dis tributions made by corporations in the form of stock dividends are not income to the recipient, and that they are conse quently not taxable as income unless he converts them into cash, and then pre sumably only if they show prefits. The result of this decision is mnot only to encourage the distribution of vario@s divi dends of this kind which have bLeen helds hack because of the necessity of paying an income tax on them, but it also opens the way for the filing of 'nrge eirhus ' the recovery of income taxes illegally col tected from contributors by the federal governmnet. “The amount of these refunds is various-- Iy estimated, but some figures place them a 8 high a 8 $600.000,000 Preparations have immediately been made by the internal revenue buriau for receipt and considera tion of claims for refunds under this de cision. Although the finding of the court in the Kansas City Southern case has son in the stock dividend acse there would seem to be good reason for the belief that it is if anything more important than the cempanion decision.” NEW YORK PRODUCE MARRKET, NEW “YORK, March @ 15.—Petroleum: Firm; vrm‘» Pennsylvanin, 6.10 Tuarpente-—Easy; £.17%. l{mlnj'vuk, common, 18.00, Woo! irm; domestic fleece XX Ohio, 62@1.00;: domestic pullad scoured hasis, 70@01.70; domestic Texas scoured basis, I.oo@ 1.75. .

Great Increase in Active Sp indles FOUR BIG FACTORS PAVES WAY FOR BOOM IN STOCKS By BROADAN WALL. g NEW YORK, March 15.—1 n the past week there have been four distinct developments anyone of which would in normal times have been sufficient to check the worst kind of a bear market and start prices up ward. The combination has had the effect of exciting Wall street and forcing wild covering of short contracts but many persons are still in doubt as to whether the improvement will continue., ‘Even the most pessimistic of the bear party must admit that the situation is vastly improved. ™ e covering that has taken place has weakened the tec*'- nical condition of the market but stocs are so low that most of them are still selling at panic prices wnen one looks at their valuyes. The four big developments in the order of their importance to the stock market are: First, the demand of the Senate for an exjlanation from the Fed eral Reserve Board of the ususicus moeney rates that have beea charged by the banks; Second, reaffirmation by the Supreme Court of the old principles that in valueing railroads the cost as of today must be taken and not the original cost; Third, the Supreme Court decision that stock dividends are not taxable as income, and Fourth, announcement that the British are to ship some $200,000,000 of gold to America in settlement of the Anglo-French bonds; some of this gold to arrive in the very near future, Announcement of these various things caused excited moves in the stock market from day ito day but it is not believed by investment au thorities that the general public has begun to appreciate the importance of what has tagen place in America. For a generation the —ourts and the politicians have been fightoing the great corporations with the an nounced intention of destroying them, Now suddenly the corporalions are alright. It is .the first time funla mentals have been taken to the Su preme Court since Roosevelt started the fight. Property interests there fore feel safe. Men can not go ahend and work with the belief thit what th>v earn will belong to them and their children. Business ambition which was hepressed is now released again, and it is released at a time when An. cica is the richest country on earth not only in undeveloped wealthy but in actual cash. When the Supreme Court rendered its dec'sion on the valuation of the railroads it merely reaffirmed on oid dictrine but it applied it to a situa tion and it means that practically every railroad in America will be foupd to be under capitalized. There is not a raiiroad in America that can be reproduced for the stock and, bend issues staading against it. Theref.re great pcssibilities exist of stock divi dends being declared to make the outstanding securities square with the values thev represent. The stock dividend decision of the Supreme Court makes a declaration of such dividends by the railroads »~.easy matter and confirms many stoek dividends already declared. Among the industrials there are cor porations whose assets hayv> grown out of proportion to the stock issues and there will be declarations even ing up these situations. The United States may look forward to a per fect orgy of stock dividends. The Supreme Court is perfectly right in saving these dividends have no value in then ~'ves but they do have spec ulative value for stock market pur poses for the reason that their decla ration will reduce the market price of shares and it is well known that the public will buy stocks more rapid ly at a small number of dolla*s per share een though the lower price may be a higher price when the whole property is taken into consideration. It is one strange influence of the stock market that noboldy has been able to explain except on the theory that most people who deal in stocks never bother about tneir value. The i+wportation .of gold to take care of the Anglo-French bonds will tend to relieve the money situation because of the sentimental influence of gold even if it is not allowed to mingle with the other money of the country. T -ere is much dispute over the exact time and method of. ship ping the gold to America but the highest possible authorit’ gives re assurance of its early arrival and large volume, ecent heavy rains coming on top of country wide snowstorms will mean floods and washouts on the railroads with poor earnings for the first quarter of the yvear but the ex cessive moisture also means good crops. Good crops are more to be desired in America th's year than good railroad earnings in the first quarter, New Stock Issued by . . The Georgia Savings Bank and Trust Co.
