NEW YORK COTTON

thirteen points and active months sold
about twelve to sixteen net higher after
the call on covering and bull support in
spired by unfavorable view of the weath
er map and continued crop complaints.
Buying was restricted by uncertainty as
to the official condition report due at
midday and trading wns not more than
moderately active. ‘Offerings • were small
with July leading the early advance.
The market continued firm during the
entire forenoon and after the publication

the condition only 74.3 per cent., com
paring with the ten-year average of 80.4
became sensationally active and excited
with all deliveries making new high rec
ords for the movement and with the
genial list selling about 30 to 45 points
pet higher.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, Ills. —Predictions that the
Kansas yield would amount to 180 mil
lion bushels had a bearish Influence to
dav on wheat. Black rust reports from
Texas and Hessian fly damage In Ne
braska tendeded however to check the
decline. Prices opened l-Bal-4 off to
1-S up, hardened a trifle, then made a
decided downshoot.
Corn weakened with wheat but rallied
on continued adverse weather in Argen
tine. Opening prices which were 1-8
lower to a like advance, followed by a
setback all arc and but afterward there
was a moderate upturn.
Bullish crop advices from Illinois
brought good support for oats.
Provisions developed firmness on
meager hog receipts.
Subsequently the wheat market re
covered. helped by unfavorable egop re
ports from Hungaria and from Rouma
n:a, and because of dry weather in
western Canada. The close, neverthe
less. was weak at half net decline.
Fear that domestic receipts would soon
fall off brought about a furthet- advance
in corn. The close was steady at ap
advance of 5-8 to 5-Ba3-4 net.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
New York.—The stock market pendu
lum vibrated narrowly last week, thus
reflecting the indecision and almost total
indifference of both speculators and in
vestors. Such initiative as the market
had came prncipally from abroad,
whqpe sentiment was more impressed
than here with the Mexican peace prom
ise and the passage of the Irish Home
Rule bill without disorder.
The foremost FYench financial au
thority holds that the Mexican situation
has been largely responsible for the
slackening of economic progress and of
financial activity in the world at large,
which measures the financial Importance
attached n France to the prospect of
settlement.* The New York gold exports
also have helped to clear the atmos
phere abroad.
There was* some subsidence of crop
scare over Hessian fly damage and hope
fulness was maintained over trade re
vival in the second half of the year.
Some lines of manufacturer reported all
inquiries In band for thryt period. The
steel trade still failed to show concrete
evidence of the expected betterment.
Th supreme court’* dcision in the “tap
line’’ cases threatened delay in the rate
decision. Steps to investigate other
railroad financing offered prospects of
more embarrassment aklr* to that of
New Haven.

Following Gov’t Report Ad
vance Was From $1.50 to $2
Per Bale Above Friday’s
Closing.
New York. —The first government crop
report of the season caused an excited j
advance in the cotton market today, and
active new crop deliveries sold above 13
cents for the first time this season.
This recent private Vejport had prepared
the trade for bullish figures, but the
actual report, making the percentage
only 74.3 per cent., or fully 6 per cent un
der the ten-year average and the low
est June bureau report but two in the
past twenty years, proved even more un
favorable than had been expected.
There was heavy realizing on the ad
vance to 13.42 for July and 13.10 for De
cember, or about $1.50 to $2 per bale
above Friday’s closing prices, but the
talk of a crop disaster and predictions of
a scare among spinners brought in heavy
buying orders from all directions.
Excited Buying.
New Orleans.—The first cotton crop
condition report of the season 74.3 per
cent, of the normal, was considerably
lower than expected on the New Or
leans Exchange, even by the bulls and
heavy and excited buying followed it,
putting prices to new high levels for
the season and sending the October po
sition to thirteen cents.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—Another statement from
President Wilson in which he attributed
the business depression in part to the
attitude of the railroads was received
with some interest on the stock ex
change, but failed to exert any influence.
In the absence of any business from
London and Paris, where the markets
were observing the Whitsuntide holi
days, the fall of the French ministry was
ignored. Missouri Pacific continued to
move uncertainly during the early ses
sion with increasing dullness throughout
the Ist.
The market dragged along aimlessly
during the mid-session. No changes
of note were recorded.
Ponds were steady.
The market closed heavy today. Mis
souri Pacific dominated the market,
dealings in that stock for the greater
part of the session exceeding transac
tions in any of the leaders. The result
of the note etxension plan was still un
settled when trading terminated at the
day’s lowest level. Missouri Pacific fall
ing abruptly. More gold for Paris
withdrawn.

each ward between eight and nine. In
the first hour, probably 700 people
voted and the opposition to the bonds
was insignificant. The day dawned
cloudy and somewhat cooler than the
paet'two or three days.
There was much activity at the
polls in each ward and a large num
ber of earnest and enthusiastic work
ers were busy getting the vote out.
The question of whether or not the
bonds would pass, resolved itself into
the question of getting the vote out.

any concerted opposition.
. Btores Close.
By letter and by telephone, the M.
& M. Association today reminded its
more than 350 members that they
should vote for the bonds and the
heavy morning vote iifras due largely
to the interest in the election that
had been created by the M. & M., the
city officials, the doctors of Augusta
and a large number of other people
who realized the tremendous im
portance of carrying the $750,000 bond
election.
Between 12 and 3 o’clock the ward
committees were busy getting the
vote out, sending automobiles here
and there to bring to the ip/rlla people
who were unable to come, or who had
delayed going to the polls.

Never Has Any Month Here Been So Dry in Over Forty Three
Years. Total Precipitation Was But .06 of an Inch.

May, 1914, was the dryest month

This Information came officially this
morning from Ihe local offic ( . of the

Next to May the dryest month ever
known In this aeclion was October,
1886, which is anyway a dryer month
than May. The normal rainfall here
for October is 2.33 Inches, while that
for May is 3,23 inches.

The Manicure Lady
By William F. Kirk.
"Wilfred met a Kent the other night
that Is the editor of a religious paper,"
said the Manicure Lady. "The two of
them seemed to get along grand. T guess
Ibecatise the editor told Wilfred to write
a little poem about leading a good life.
He gave Wilfred the check for the poem
In advance, and now poor brother Is wor
ried to death, because he ain’t used to
writing anything like a sermon, and,
goodness knows his dally life ain’t no
running brook by which to go by. He
asked father last night to give him some
idee, hut t e old gent was hist as mneli
up in the air as Wilfred, so brother final
ly wrote this little poem. He says ho
don’t think he has earned the check, but
It solnds ail right to me. Listen, Oeorge:
"I always felt that each man should,
As through his life he wanders,
Spend most of each day tn being good
And refrain from making blunders.
The little time that we are here

Should not be spent In drinking beer
And In various sorts of gambling.
"How good It Is to be so good
That everyone does respect you
And keep away as good men ehould
From things which are liable to wreck
you.
I think ell men should he as good
As I would be If I only could."
"It’s a good thing that he got his
check first for that poem," said the
Hear Harher, "or he would never have
got It. Don’t he feel ashamed none,
to trade that minor league stuff for a
cheek?"
"It was only a threc-dollar check,”
exp’nlned she Manicure Lady. "Them
weekly papers don’t pnv much for
poetry, and Wilfred said that he figured
he had gave them three dollars' worth.
Maybe he has. hut I don't know enough
about poetry to know. The main fault 1
can see Is that the part about being good
sounds kind of faint hearted, about the
way Wilfred would act If he was starting
out to he good himself. I don't suppose
It makes much difference, though. Peo
ple are going to he good If thev want to,
without reading no poetry telling thsrn

hard for me to he good.’’
"I always feel better after I heve did

AT 18 25 J 1 8 15 22c
cotton jrms week
New Orleans. It was a week of ad
vances In the cotton market, although
profit-taking by satisfied longs and by
Lings who did not rare to carry their
cotton over the coming bureau report on
condition was something of a weight to
ward the end of the week.
The best prices were reached on
Thursday when the market stood 40 to
51 points over Inst week's close and the
lowest prices were made on Monday
when the market was five to seventeen
points under last week’s finals. The
net results of the week’s trading were
a gain of 26 to 37 points.
Thu continued rains in Texas, the
drouth In portions of the Eastern belt
and general belief In n bullish rondl
t'on report were the main bullish In
fluences. Against the market was the
Increasing long interest which bears
maintained seriously weakened the tech
nics! position.
This week the market will receive the
first condition report of the season,
carrying t lie crop olpwn to May 25th.
Conservative Lrokers look for around 78
per rent, of the normal. Most bulls
look for rather JawMM&fMaUr- Bearish
estimates arc n round 80. Probably it
will take n report of under 78 to cause
much of an advance.
More rains In tin* Western belt and
continued dry weather in the Atl&ntlcs
would cause renewed buying this week
because of the crop damage that would
result. Any change for the better In
the weather probably would be the sig
nal for heavy selling for both accounts.
