MARKET LETTER
One of the very important economic de
velopments during the week as vitally
affecting ■ cotton prices, present and fu
ture, has been the unofficial, yet definite
advice from Washington that the govern
ment has been shown the inadvisibility of
drastically Interfering with the effect of
supply and demand in foodstuffs, raw
materials, etc., and it is to be inferred
that the English commission has pointed
out the necessity for fostering and en
couraging all industries, that the out
turn and profit may not be seriously In
terfered with; that the government Is
more likel vto get returns through tax
ing the results of encouraged activities,
rather than through copfisratory meas
ures, which w’ould destroy initiative and
bTeed indifference. That being the case,
It does not seem likely that the govern
ment will arbitrarily set lower prices than
justified by the demand, for the huge
amounts or cloths and other raw mate
rials needed and that* nothing serious
will be done to dissuade spinners from
buying their requirements, nor keep
planters from getting the best possible
results from their efforts.
Under these circumstances, a great
crop of cotton is necessary to take care
of a great consumption, irrespective of
the coming of peace, always a bullish
prospect. The crop has had a back
ward start because of unfavorable weath
er and critical labor scarcity, which also
has seriously affected what at one time
promised to be a large Increase in acre
age. but we doubt seriously If there will
be any noticeable increase in acreage over
last year. The crop has been planted In
many sections in badly prepared soil, and
because of weather conditions, will re
quire unusual attention. This is not
possible on account of the extraordinary
depletion in farm labor in the South,
which we feel has not been sufficiently
realized by the trade. This, together
with the boll weevil menace, and the pos
sibility and probability of peace within
twelve months, makes it appear to us ex
ceedingly habardous to be selling cotton
short, even at these phenomenally high
prices. We may have flurries which
will cause setbacks, but we cannot help
thinking that cotton is going to sell very
much higher, since all that goes into the
making of a cotton crop, mounts to high
er and higher levels, day by day, includ
ing the price of labor.

kinds continue to advance, it is hard
to predict lower prices. Last week there
was very good trade ip cash oil. Com
pound lard continues to move very free
ly, and as long as lard continues to ad
vance, there is not very much chance for
any lower prices for oil. Sales of crude
oil were reported the end of last week at
$.106 per gallon, which is the highest so
far this season. Friday was the first
tendering day for May and there was
somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,100
barrels tendered, which had very little
effect on the market. All notices have
been stopped and it looks to us as if one
of the leading refiners is taking this oil

NEW ‘ORTeANSCOTTON
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
New Orleans.—Poor cables caused a
slump around the opening of the cotton
market here today, the most active
months losing 1 6to 19 points. A pri
vate bureau estimate, showing a decrease
in the acreage caused buying at the de
clin eand at the end of the first half
hour of business thetrading months were
unchanged to four points off compared
with the close of Saturday.
The recovery carried the market one
to seven points over Saturday’s close
but the hard spot brought out fresh sell
ing under which July fell off to a net
decline of 23 points.
Cotton closed steady at a decline of
eleven to fourteen points. •

NEW YORK COTTON
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
New York.—A favorable ivew of weath
er conditions again failed to bring any
great pressure against the cotton market
and the tone Was generally steady early
today. The opening was eight to six
teen points lower in response to relative
ly easy cables with July selling at 20
cents and October at 19.17 on the, call
but prices quickly rallied on renewed cov
ering and a little trade buying of new
crop months. July sold up to 20.16 and
October to 19.29 before the end of the
first hour or back to within a point of
Saturday’s close on October, and within
four points on July. A private report
issued before the opening indicated a de
crease of 2.3 percent in acreage. Pri
vate cables attributed an early advance
in Liverpool to covering against cotton
sunk and trade buying.
Cotton closed steady.
Private reports claiming that the acre
age in Texas would be reduced seemed
to inspire a more active demand for new
crop months and‘October contracts sold
up to 19.38 during the middle of the
morning or about eight points net high
er. The old crop rallied to about Sat
urday’s closing figures but met a good
deal of scattering liquidation under which
the market became unsettled late in the
morning.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
Chicago, Ills. —Sharp upturns today in
wheat here reflected opinions of many
traders that the bearish effect of sup
pressing grain speculation in Canada
would be only transient here. It was
not long how r ever .before more sober
view’s began to count, and the fresh ad
vances will be virtually wiped out. Open
ing prices which ranged from % to five
cents higher with May at $2.75 to $2.78
and July at $2.28% to $2.30, were follow
ed by an additional jump of four cents
in extreme but then a general fall that
on some transactions went below- Sat
urday’s finish.
Corn swayed with wheat. After open
ing one cent off to a. like advance the
market hardened decidedly all around and
then underwent a general sag.
Dealings in oats showed a great fall
ing off as compared with last week. The
market was governed by wheat.
Provisions averaged higher, owing to
the readiness with which offerings were
absorbed.

Washington.—Georgia's quota of sol
diers for the provisional army, that is
to be raised by means of the selective
draft, is 14,207, according to figures
obtainable today at the war depart
ment. Of course, if a second call for
an additional half million men is made
by the president, under the authority
of the army bill, Georgia’s quota will
be doubled.
The figures given are based on the
population of the state.
Texas is the only Southern ‘State
that will be called upon to furnish as
many fighting men as Georgia. Texas’
quota on the basis of a provisional
army of half million will approximate
20,000.
The quota of Alabama, under the
first call will be 11,500, that of South
Carolina 8,250 and that of Florida,
4,300.

FOR SHOOTING SHERIFF;
LONNIE COLLIER GUILTY
In the superior court Monday Lonnie
Collier, the negro boy who entered
the home of Mrs. Joyner and stole a
number of articles, was found guilty
by a jury. It will be recalled that the
negro attacked Mrs. Joyner who rout
ed him with a gun. Collier will he
sentenced probably Monday afternoon.
Harry Burke, alias Doc Fairbanks,
the automobile thief who shot Sheriff
Plunket through the hip and who was
captured after a chase by Former Chief
of Police M. J. Norris was on trial
when court recessed for dinner. The
plea of Burke is that the sheriff was
about to arrest him without a warrant,
which would be, so his counsel claims,
an illegal arrest. It seems certain
that the jury will convict him of as
sault with intent to murder. Burke
and his two pals will then be arraign
ed for stealing auto tires from Col. H.
S. Jones’ garage at Hephzibah.
Robert Gant, a negro, was found
guilty of burglary.

Although the Tourists have struck a

There are several strong men on the line

won Take the line-up as it appears
•now and you will find some of the best
nlavers in the circuit represented. The
twirling Staff is somewhat slack as to

twirled so well in the game Saturday, al
lowing hut six hits and seven runs al
though his teammates made thirteen er
rors behind him. Wilson ,s
twirler, although he has been on the sk k
list for several days and is out of form.
Eubanks, the manager. Is counted the
best catcher tn the league 11 would be
very difficult to find a better man for
first sack than ’’Tack Brothers.
iX’e won't mention shorr and second

several runs to be made for the opposing
team this season.
Fred Heck, third-saeker, is one of the
fastest men In the league.
Brazier, In left field. Roth in center
and Burke In right flare a strong trio. We
know what Brazier and Roth are capable
