Say Liverpool IL Due for n Big
slump To-day

Savannah. Ca, April 5.-The absence
OF public interest in the cotton market
at present has afforded a great oppor-
tunity for d bear campaign which
has started in Liverpool and has been
continued all day in New York, and
as is usually the case, as the market
weakens. the air is full of bear ru-
mors. Advices of a reported curtai!-
ment OF prominent Fall River spinners
are received. they having agreed to
shut down three 49, days a week.

for these reports to influence the near

Our phenomenal growth in the

the end does not Yet appear, for the
number of operations has nowhere
multiplied so greatly in recent years

New York, April SIT was the mar

those bought lower attempted to take

In Liverpool cotton sold at 1910 for

here were inclined to let go to-day,
and look for a break to buy on. There
was a very little short interest and
this left the prices to break more
readily. The position is so strong
that no one will sell. Therefore when
profits are taken there are too few
buyers to prevent a crush This is

LOOKS FOR THE wEEvIL.

When Commissioner OF Agriculture
o. B. Stevens was asked as TO wheth-
er the cotton boil weavil had really
struck Georgia. he said that it had
rot. Continuing he said. There is no
boil weeysl in Georgia, though It may
come Al any time. and I expect it be-
cause OF the fact that its introduction
is insi5ious The peculiar thing about
the boil weeyil IS that it attacks the
cotton square II does not inJure the
stalk ana the stalk may grow 10 its
ordinary proportions and stand in the
field nearly destitute Of bloom, max
ing II a desert Of weeds.
