flect apprehensions of dry hot weather

one point higher to three points lower

by indifferent cables and expectations of
a favorable weekly weather report at
midday. Offerings however were well
taken and active months sold two to
four points net higher before the end of
the first hour on covering, Liverpool

The market was very quiet later but
eased off slightly after the publication

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—The ntork market gave a
better account of itself after a opening
recession, but there was a marked ab
sence es demand and after noon the level
was slightly under yesterday’s close.
Liquidation from foreign sources had
much to do with the initial decline. Cop
per shares were influenced by weakness
of metal prices abroad. Amalgamated

OUIGO OF GOLD
hear® end
Treasury Dep’t Officials Confi
dent Exportation About Over.
Grain Crop to Stop it.
Washington, D. C. —Treasury Depart
ment officials are confident the usuftl
expectation of gold is drawing to an
end and predict there will be little gold
exported from now on which had not
been contracted for before the exchange
rate fell. The sudden decline in ex
change rates to a point where the ex
portation of gold is no longer highly
profitable, is taken as an indication
that the heavy shipments of gold al
ready made to Eurbpe have satisfied
the demaifd in a measure and a further
decline is expected by the treasury de
partment.
“The exportation of gold is bound to
cease with the movement of the grain
crop from the United States to Eu
rope.” Geo. E. Roberts, director of
the mint, said today: “Europe has al
ready begun to buy large quantities of
American wheat, although the wheat is
no tyet ready for shipment.”
Mr. Roberts also called attention to
the fact that the heavy season for im
ports into the United States is over and
there is reason to believe that the heavy
exportation of grain will make a more
favorable foreign trade showing for the
United States.
Already fifteen ships have been char
tered for wheat shipments to Europe and
exporters are said to be seeking more
vessels for July and August sailings.

Sunburned Officers and
Men of the Utah in N. Y.
New York. —Officers and men of

Each officer and man will get a
month’s leave to compensate for not
having enjoyed shore leave since the
Utah left New York six months ago.
The 30C men on shore leave today
appealed in the best of health and
expressed pleasure at being able to
escape the heat at Vera Cru*.

duced a bill to provide that persons in

the time of arraignment or pleading.
Names an addresses of witnesses would
also be furnished defendants at least

ferred, seeks to liberalize the "Stir
Chamber” features of prosecutions.
CREDIT MEN MEET.
Rochester, N. Y.—The 19th annual

Georgia Legislature Meets To
morrow. Tax Equalization
Bill the Big Fi£ht.
Ahlanta, Ga. —The hotels are filling
rapidly with members- of the Georgia
legislature, coming for the fifty-day ses
sion which begins tomorrow. Most of
tlie law’-makers have a bill or two up
their pleeves and some have several.
There Is everything from a bill to put
on an extra dog tax to an act to amend
an act defining the boundaries of Hog
Wallow precinct.
The house, so far, is without a real
leader. Just wdio will make himself the
Napoleon of the representatives is yet
to be discovered, but it is probable that
out of the rank and file some general
will arise before the session is well un
der way.
The tax equalization bill is likely to
bring on the big fight of the year. It
passed last session by a bare one vote,
and its opponents are confident of re
pealing it this yeaV. The hill prohibit
ing the shipment of liquor into dry ter
ritory is apt to bring on a general pro
hibition-anti battle before it is settled.
The bill was buried in ccmltteq last year
after a bitter fight but is sure to reach
a final vote this session.
The school book question. Representa
tive McGrory’s bill to have the state
publish school books, is also still on the
calendar, and to judge from the Bews
paper controversy of the past winter is
likely to be debated with considerable
acrimony-
The leasing of the Western and At
lantic roailroad properties is also to
come up, and with it the Atlanta plan
to erect a great concrete plaza ovet the
tracks of several railroads within the
heart of Atlanta. The city is heartily
back of the plaza plan and the leaders
say the state would profit as much as
the city by co-operating in putting the
plaza across.
The salary versus the fee system
arises again in Representative Mc-
Michael’s bill to put solicitors-gonenl
on a straight salary. While it would
materially reduce the income of sol'ci
tors in the larger cities, it might be of
advantage in quiet counties where cases
are few and fees far between.
The child labor fight is already be
ing vigorously launched by its support
ers and a red hot fight is anticipated.
The strike now on in .an Atlanta cotton
mill is expected to play an Unportant
figure in the debate.
The /irst harbinger of the legislature
today was John T. Boifeiullet, clerk of
the house, who arrived in his usual spot
less apparel and his ever ready smile
to prepare the house for business.
U. S. Supreme Court Has
Adjourned Until October
.Washington, D. C.—The supreme court
Monday adjourned until October after
deciding the Inter-Mountain rate case,

Referring to Charleston, the speaker

SERVICE FIRST-QUALITY ALWAYS
for weakening. Every race Is hard on
the runners in the last lap and it is
the really fit that will come under the
wire winners next Tuesday night at
19 o"clock, when the last ballot will be
cast and the greatest event eg the sea
son in Augusta will come to a glo
rious finish.
Should some of the candidates now
leading in the race be fortunate, or
rather work hard enough to win tire
big bonus ballots offered for new sub
scriptions turned in before Thursday
night at IP o'clock, it would make it
easier for them at the finish, but they
should not become over-confident;
many a race Is lost through this one
thing, over-confidence, and candidates
should work right up to the last min
ute for subscriptions.
The “Shower of Gold” headquarters
are located at 639 Broad street, with
the A A. Thomas Piano Cofhpany, and
will bp open every evening until the
close of the contest until 10 o'clock.
