COTTON GOSSIP

1t is rumored from the soIt v,st that
banks are calling loans on COZ.
a big Texas spot man, who W. nrob-
ably the largest buyer of cottol that
state during September. has ,ritten a
friend in Hanover Square that The quail
ity of the cotton now coming in is so
bad that he has decided not to har..Ie it
at ALL He has closed his books tor the
season and Withdrawn from the market,
pfefefring to let others assume what he
considers the large risk of buying such
cotton in expectation of reselling it.
Dallas wired: Think Texas is good
for 100000 bales, but lots of low
grades; Looks like 100000 for Okla
homa.'
Reports from Manchester are any
tnlng but cheerful" according to one OF
the largest Liverpool firms. ''Sel ers of
American yarns find it difficult to trade
either with home users or exporters.
A few mills using American cotton have
colnmenced, to work short time. 1t
would not be surprising to see organ
ized short time next January, but the
nne spinning trade is good"
Journal of Commerce says: THE
market on cotton goods firm. The re-

promise of an abundant crop of cotton
and merchants are becoming reconciled
to the probability of a hard year OF trad
Ing. due to the high price OF raw ma
terlal. The trend of buying has be-
come conservative. More goods are
wanted by jobbers and converters."

Replies to Weld & Co indicate a GIN

This Last La
Week. Week. Yea

N. L. Carpenter & Co. says: LAS is
shown by Secretary Hester's estimate
of the into-sight movement for this
week. which he places at $4,000 to 49,
900 bales, compared with 74S,00O last
year and Gal 900 in 1911, we must real
ize that the period Of full movement of
this cotton crop has been reached within
the first 60 days of the present season,
who failed to secure at least a part of
his requirement for the year is hoping
by dint of circumstances that prices will
be depressed, giving the manufacturer
the last chance of the season to get
cheap cotton; therefore, it is natural,
and one of the laws of self preservation
that the buyers of the great staple
should combine in all their efforts to
use every argument to depress values
so that they can get what they call a
little cheap cotton.
For the next three or four weeks
the cotton market promises to be rather
scalping affair until the heavy move
ment is disposed of. but on any good
decline we think the long side will prove
the most profitable. AT present we be-
lieve there is large, unwieldly, scat
tered long interest which has accumu-
lated from buying on forecast of freez-
ing weather, which has developed this
week, but the market is so narrow that
there does not seem to be enough buy
ing power left to lift it until the SELL
ing from natural LIQUIDATION, following
see lower prices Such a decline, If it
takes place. would be a good chance to
purchase, as we believe in ultimately
much higher prices.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: Definite information has now be-
gun to come from the fields. showing
the extent of damage done by alienat-
ing frost and rain, and the picture pre-
scented, must rub the man who uses
actual cotton for industrial purposes in
decidedly unpleasant manner
1.-The spinner was left at the post on
the advance from IL cents, and has not
yet purchased a narmol supply for for
ward delivery. Consequently, he is not
classed as a friend of the market and
may be depended on to fight an upward
price trend whenever possible, by adher-
ing to his more or less enforced policy
dips come. and forward sellers find long
hedges comparatively cheap, the spin
ners' unified basket will catch enough
bales to check declines without much
reference to what spectators may be
doing at the time.
I'm the event really big dip should
come, as a result of overcrowding on the
long side, consumers, being in need and
sirable cotton will escape them. will
probably acquire first mortgage on
the remainder of the crop
Under such circumstances the pend
ing revolution in the supply require
ment equation will become apparent and
in force without further pickering. But
should confident bulls and timid bears
crowd the consumer during November
and December. January will find supply
merchants committed for less than a
normal percentage of the seasons yield.
and the process of price adjustment may
proceed practically through the season,
leaving the full force of changed condi-
tons to be felt next year, If the crop
then be a small one, or II the crop then
be as large as the requirement until the
next season of small supply"

GRAIN NOTES
Flour mills are buying wheat at Min

Flour mills are buying wheat at Min
neapolis.
Finley Darrell & Co. says: 1.-THE
whole trouble with corn is that every
one is playing for a break and is short
a little corn
From the recent low price corn has
advanced about 4Mc per bushel and
oats. &c. As in wheat. most interests
are inclined to regard the technical po-
sitiOn OF the market as mainly respon-
siole for the bufse.
James A. Patten is credited with stat
ing that G. G. Gates sod out line of
three quarters OF a million bushels of
leaving for his last hunting trip. and
that his open commitments in the mar
ket were practically nil at the time Of
his death.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Wheat bulls had 1t last night that the
market is taking care of itself as well
as they expected, and there is little
pressure of actual wheat The Argen-
tine crop scare season is on and until
there is a certainty az to the outcome
there. trade is disposed to go slow on
the selling side.
Sentiment among the corn trade is
more bulish than bearish but those who

saw that most OF the business is profess
sional."
Bartlett. Frazier Company says
"Wheat-At the moment we do not
look for any particular change in prices
"Corn---Docal sentiment is generally
bearlsh and much stress is being laid on
the weakness in Liverpool. but we do
not see that this really affects our own

"Oats-Market shows no rallying

In sight and offerings from Canada.
"Provisions-Fair investment de

Oklatpma State wires: "Oklahoma's

That politics is not all ingratitude
and benefits forgot is demonstrated
in the cordial support of Roscoe Luke
for Congress in the Second District
by the Roddenbery following
Pretty soon after the campaign
opened it was stated throughout the
district that Luke would not receive
or, at least, might not receive-the
support Of the late Congressman Rod -
denbery's brothers, Notwithstanding
the fact that Roddenbery and Luke
had been bosom friends during the
lifetime of the Congressman, and that
Luke had managed some important
details of Roddenbery's wonderful
fights for victory before the people.
In a recent publication the late Con-
gresham Roddenbery's brother gave
out a statement of which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
Il am not undertaking to manage
anybody's campaign, and don't want
to pose as trying to boost any cam
didate by appealing to the highly
priced friendship of the people of the
Second Congressional District for my
beloved brother, the late Congress-
man, but ] am openly and conscien-
tiously supporting Mr.. Luke in his
race Tor Congress, and never hesitate
to let my position be known in mat
ters of public veal ii is we'll known
that Mr.. Luke was the stanch and
trusted friend of my brother, An
derson, for years and during each of
his campaigns for Congress Mr.. Luke
rendered him more valuable assist
ance than any other one man, and
their friendship was never broken"
The race in the Second is not a
cinch for anybody. Jud~c Park has
many friends and wei NisHers, and
Judge Covington is shell!nE the
woods. AT the same time, 1t does look
to those who profess to know what
Is what" in the Second that Luke
has a shade the best of the fight thus
fart
He is likely TO win" say the ma
jority of those who come to Atlanta
from that vicinity
And, anyway, the firm support OF
the Roddenbery strength in the Sec
ond Is proving to be a tower OF
strength to the Thomasyille man.
One of the speakers at the recent
Atlanta dinner to Judge Newman, OF
the Federal Court, was former Rep
resentative William A. Charters, of
Gainesville, and they do say that
Charters made about the best and
most pleasing speech of the evening,
moreover!
Certain it is that there is not in all
Northeast Georgia a more able man
than Charters, and he is not a man,
either who does great deal of talk
ing. What Charters said of Judge
Newman no doubt came straight from
the Charters heart-there is a bond
of genuine affection existing between
the two men.
Charters is being mentioned for
Congress again in the Ninth, by tho
way, and If he runs he will have, OF
course, a loyal and d faithful follow
ing He is full Congressional size.

candidate for Congress from the Sixth
District. The former Solicitor Ger
eraI of the Flint Circuit states that
he is already in the race. His formal

CANNED TOMATOES ARRIVE.
Pack at Potomac and Rappahannock
Canneries Very Light.

The first Of this seasons packed toma-
toes are beginning to arrive at this city.
aboard svessels from the packing plants
on Nomini creek, Coan river and else
where on tributaries OF Chesa peake bay.
Three vessels laden with boxes of can
ned tomatoes have arrived here SO far
this season, but the arrival OF tomato
laden craft is expected to be heavier
from now on.
Reports received from the Potomac
tomato canning plants state that the
pack this year will be but little over
half Of what it was last year, the to-
mato crop in many party of the river
counties Of Maryland and Virginia having
been an entire failure. due to storms
and the cool weather of the early sum-
mer when the vines were about to bud.
The pack by the plants over on the
Rappahannock is said to be even smaller
than IT was on the Potomac. Had Wash
ington to depend entirely on the Poto-
mac and Rappahannock packing plants
for its supply of tomatoes, prices for
them would be very high this fall and
winter. but the crop elsewhere was good
and the output Of the packing plants ur
to average, SO 1t is figured that prices
will be little, IL any, higher than they
were last fall and. winter.
