President w. p. G. Harding deliv-
cred his annual address and was much
applauded.
That there is no reason why the
season for mark citing cotton cannot be
extended over a period of nine to ten
months. instead Of being congested
into three or four months. was the
contention Of Mr.. Harding.
The banks, he argued. can finance
the holding of the cotton for slower
ana more profitable marketing. The
customary rush of cotton to the mar
ket, he said, is not now so necessary
as formerly, because of the establish
menI OF warehouses; IOI ltS
He gave credit to the Farmers Union
for the development of the warehouse
plan. A difference OF two cents a
pound in the price of cotton, he said,
made a difference of $12,000,000 a
year in the money circulation of Ala
bama in a single season.

Mr. Harding said:
while its first effect was to boom
the banks. 1t seems now to be an
open question whether any bank has
heen really benefited, and it appears
that the law has tended to the estab
Iishment OF banks with Inadequate
capital and by irresponsible parties.
Adventures IN the financial field have
gone into the State and engaged in
the banking business In order to get
the benefit of the prestige and the
guarantee of strong and we'll estab-
lished banks.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK May 6-The professional trad
ers in stocks were puzzled to know what was
going on in the market today under covering OF
the striking movements in number of stocks
OF the lower class. Attention was focused up
on the industrial stocks and sudden advances
were made in great variety Of these some
OF which have not appeared on the tape for
long time previously The general list in
GLIDING the stocks of the most substantial
class, was also more responsive to the rise in
specialties and opinion in the board room was
that realizing sales were going on IN these
stocks. The bulk of todays business, never
theless was done at level of prices above
last night. The sharp rise in miscellaneous
lot of low priced stocks, most Of them non
dividend payers, was unexpected by any au-
thentic news. The rise had its incpetion in the
group of metal industrials, including various
companies making secondary use Of steel, SUCH
as the railroad equipment companies and the
copper, lead and smelling stocks. The asking
.price OF copper was advanced and some large
sales of refined copper were reported made in
the last few days. The forthcoming report OF
the copper producers association giving the
Apri statistics is expected to show the Ell
fects of trade expansion to an extent according
10 rumors of an actual reduction OF surplus
stocks of copper during the month. The vio-
lent advance in Western Maryland followed a
report that the Pittsburg Terminal company
coal properties had been taken over by that
company. London seller of stocks here
and the labor situation in France engaged some
attention for its possible financial effects Dis
counts were easier in London and Paris in
spite of the weaker condition of the Bank of
England Foreign exchange here was I'M
changed. Warmer weather in the west encour-
aged hopes of rapid growth Of the grain crops,
for which conditions reported to be ripe,
IN spite OF the backward season. Bonds were
strong. Total sales, par value, $IOoOOOoi gov
eminent bonds were unchanged on call.

leaders and group Of big houses Prices had
a reaction an hour later and turned strong a
second time and finally closed a shade over
