MAYOR WORKING
FOR Big MEETING
OF GA. MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.
WILL BE HELD IN SAVANNAH IN
AUGUST FOR TWO DAYS.

Mayor says Savannah Is Best Con-
ventiOn City I'm the state and the
Gathering Here Should BE the
Largest i'm History of the Organi-
zntiOn-WiII Send Special Invita-
tiOns to Every Town in Georgia
Within a Few Days.
Mayor Myers has started work to
make the convention of the League of
Georgia Municipalities. which meets in
Savannah on the second Monday n
August, the largest convention that or
ganization has ever held.
When in Macon several days ago,
Mayor Myers talked with Mayor
Bridges Smith, the president Of the
league, in regard to the Savannah
meeting, and within a few days let
tiers are to be sent to the Mayor of
every city and town in Georgia.
Savannah is the best convention
city in the state" said Mayor Myers
yesterday, in speaking of the matter,
land we should have the biggest con-
vention here that the league has ever
held. We will have it, too. intend to
write to every Mayor in Georgia, not
only those who are already members,
but all of them.
During the Tybee Season.
1.-THE convention Will come right while
the Tybee season is at its best, and
there is every reason why we should
have an enormous crowd. 1 want to
get a number of new members, and I
think l can, too, when it is known
what good time we are going to give
them. here.
Il should like to have every town
in the state represented here. That
can hardly be accomplished, but. we
can have almost all of them and we
will, too. if hard work can get them.
Savannahs reputation for hospitality
has already spread from one end of
the state to the other, and this will
of course count a great deal in getting
a big crowd. We propose to give them
the very best time they have ever had
and we want the largest attendance on
record
Mayor Myers has already made ar
engagements with Mr.. w. j. Watson,
OF the DE SOTO, Tor the use OF the DALI
quet hall during the two days of the
convention. The De Soto is to be head
quarters, and all meetings will be held
in the banquet room. Special commit
tee and writing rooms will also be
provided for the convenience of the
delegates.
To Arrange Pleasure Trips.
Several pleasure trips are also to be
arranged for the delegates. The Ca
sino will be visited and an excursion to
Tybee will also be given. Mayor Myers
will appoint special entertainment
committee from Council to arrange for
the entertainment of the visitors. A
committee from the Chamber of Com
Inerce may also be appointed.
Beginning next week Mayor Myers
will write letters, urging the officials
to attend and promising them a good
time. Aside from the social features of
the gathering, the convention is one of
great importance. Questions of vital
Importance to those engaged in the
government of cities will be discussed
by some of the most prominent author
tiles in the state.

More SeasOnabIe, weather Has Bet

New York. May 6.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Long expected good weather has at
last materialized and has helped farm
ers, and retail trade in seasonable
goods. Crop preparations. and plant
ing have made especially good pro-
gress, the present outlook being that,
while the winter wheat crop will be
short, the acreage in spring wheat,
oats and corn will be heavily increas-
Retail and wholesale trade, how
ever, has not experienced the stimula-
ton earlier looked for. there being a
disposition so far to regard results as
below expectations. Failures are lit
tie more than the normal in number,
but swelled by suspensions of finan-
cial institutions, and a few large man
ufacturers, liabilities are heavy for this
season of the year.
Detailed dispatches to Bradstreets
show a disposition to conservatism in
buying, both for recorder purposes and
for fall delivery. Eastern jobbers are
inclined to take a more favorable view
of trade now that good weather is
stimulating retail demand. The i'm
provement as yet, however, is a mat
ter of tone only. and some jobbers re-
gard portion of the spring trade as
actually lost. The volume of fall bust
ness is limited as yet. Vexatious labor
troubles curtail activity in lumber and
building materials at some centers.

cothrsn 6. Co.'s Market Letter.

A much better market prevailed in Liv- erpool than was expected. The continent was reported a heavy buyer, covering re cent short transactions. Sales of spots were larger than usual and cables ex- pressed more confidence in the markets 8 steadiness.
 Options and spots closed at decline of only two points
 Cloths and yarns were firm in Man chester.
 The improvement observed in our op- ening was of short duration. Very little support was in evidence and values rap idly yielded under only moderate amount of selling pressure.
 Covering by shorts at the low levels. checked further recessions. Trading was desultory and rather gave evidence that operators are pretty well evened up to stand the possible shock of an unexpected bureau figure tomorrow
 The average of past years of the pro- portion of the crop brought into sight by December 1 Is 4s per cent and on this basis the indicated crop would be very large, but it Is conservatively be- lieved that from 5L to 53 per cent of this years crop Is represented by the six million and over bales in sight on the first of the month. The weeks movement shows no signs of falling off materially, and stocks in interior towns are increas- ing. Statistical1y, the situation presents few comforting features from a bullish standpoint beyond the fact that present prices will fairly discount the conditions and expectations of a very large crop.
