COTTON TIES
AT Less Than Manufacturers
Prices.
G. Z. CAVERLY,
ATLANTA, GA.

break in sight last night, the market clos
ing just as 1t did two nights before. But
in place Of the usual upturn this morn
ing, May lost 10 points at the opening,
and the whole list went down under the
selling, but later In the day the market
improved somewhat, closing lower than
yesterday. From the character of news
there is no change in the cotton situa-
ton. But Liverpool declined instead OF
advancing and this made all the differ
ence. The movement is light and until
the May business Is over and we have
some news on the new crop to depress the
market, there is not likely to be turn
In the tendency of prices. On break
Monday If 1t comes we would buy for
q turn. But as to advising the purchase
of cotton at cents for a bull market we
are no more inclined to do 1t now than
six weeks ago. We look to the new crop
as safer though not as exciting specu-
lative venture as the old. Everything is
as 1t was bearish in May a year ago
when you couldn't get man to buy
bale of cotton at and 7Ac. Nine cents Is
a good price for cotton. The price can
easily be u or 1kc higher under such good
trade conditions, but 1t Is not business to
speculate heavy in favor or such an ad-
vance as the high level. There will be
more money in shorting the new crop be-
fore long than in buying the old. except
on sharp breaks.

Consols relapsed to 94ss American stocks

Money on call was unlendable, as the

HEAVY DEMAND IN SOUTH

New York, April 1s.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy with prices to 8
points lower in response to weak Liver
pool cables and large port receipts but
almost Immediately rallied on a movement
TO cover by leading bears who beared the
bullish legitimate side of the market.
Whereas. May sold at oil, July at DOS
and August at 8.85 on the call, these op-
lions soon stiffened to s.14, 9.1o and s.sS
respectively. In the New Orleans market
July opened Off points and Immediately
rallied points to s37 for July, thus
showing no lack of bull courage in that
market.
Private advices as to the ruling of spot
Southern markets told of continued heavy
demand at full prices. Receipts at the
ports were close to 5000 bales, as compared
with 1856 bales same day last year. The
Houston estimate for Monday helped to
check renewed investment buying this
morning. Between 1900 and 200 bales were
expected against s75s last Monday and
1924 bales last year. Wall street was a
light buyer of July on the break and
the room trade as a general thing adopted
the bull side for turn.

Murphy q Co. cotton Letter.
New York, April 1s.-There was nothing
of special Importance in the various trade
reports issued today to attract special at
tention, and the Chronicles weekly sum-
mary, as usual impaired next to nothing
that was not known early In the week.
More or less interest attached to the Liv-
erpool report, which disclosed decline of
a point or so, but even this had little
bearing on the market. Manipulation Is
charged by disappointed bears, but it is
equally true that cotton is scarce and
that from all quarters come reports Of
good trade. In fact. everything coming
to light confirms the statements made for
months and months past of a most salts
factory condition of affairs at the mills.
and good reports continue to come in
from dry goods quarters. where affairs
are in excellent shape. Besides this. pre-
dictions of more mill strikes and shut
downs have not taken place. and on the
whole whatever developments have oc-
Cured everywhere have favored the bull
side. Weather in the South today was
everything that could be desired. The
only point reporting rain was Montgom-
cry to the extent of .02 Of an inch. while
the temperature ranged from 50 at Abb
lene to 50 at Augusta. The early market
was somewhat demoralized. prices going
off to II points and May crufhbling to
pieces quite rapidly. A decrease in the
visible supply for the week of $4,000 was
regarded as Of sufficient Importance to
prevent bear agsressiveness at this time.
There was a steadier tone to the market
and prices recovered after the early
break, but business was on limited
scale A bull leader heretofore was re-
ported as having turned bear. but this
was not believed.

In their views concerning prices. Sales,

lions unchanged.
In the future market the opening was
from 8 to IL points under Friday, clos
ing trading was remarkably quiet. When
the market did awake, however, 1t APP
peared that the loss was due principally
to inactivity. Buying sent the market
forward again and before the close of the
short session most of the early loss had
been wiped out. The undertone was
steady at the close of the session, bullish
sentiment continuing to dominate the
market, which at the close was even to
points higher than yesterdays close, ex-
cept August which showed loss OF
points.

was a little bit cramped, owing to the
difficulty of marketing the p%eniten-
tiary cotton, which is ginned and
ready for shipment at various sta
tons in the Delta, as well as other
parts of the State, and the prison off,
Gals have had much difficulty in get
ting cotton moved as rapidly as was
desired. There is a considerable
amount of outstanding Indebtedness
IN the way of warrants which will be
coming IN next week, and the peni-
tertiary money is expected to come
IN during next week also. While
there will be a close finish between
the receipts and disbursements dur
ing December, the situation will be
entirely relieved in January, when
the heavy tax settlements for De-
cember begin to come in.

Shot q Bad Negro.

). W. Whalen, a prominent plant
ser a few miles south of Senate
bla, shot a negro by the name of
Buster Howard five times at the
home of E. W. Fitzgerald last week.
On or about November 8 the negro
called at the home of Mr.. Whalen
and on finding that no one was pres,
ent except Mrs. Whalen and her
two small children, requested the
loan Of rs cents. When informed
that she did not have the money,
the negro insulted her. Fortunate
~, Mrs. Whalen secured a pistol and
held the negro at bay until he was
frightened away by her appeals be-
ing responded to by neighbors. I'm
til last week Mr.. Whalen had not
seen the negro, and a public sale at
the Fitzgerald home caused the
meeting. The negro had worked
for Mr.. Whalen until June of this
year, and he considered him dam
gerous. Prior to the shooting Mr..
Whalen called him to one side and
told him that he was familiar with
his conduct at his (Whalen's) home
a few weeks ago. He had hardly
completed the sentence when the
negro, with an oath, started toward
him, when the shooting occurred.
Physicians do not think there is any
chance for the negro's recovery. He
was shot in the forehead, left wrist,
both shoulders and stomach. Mr..
Whalen was arrested and released on
bond.
