JOHN NEAL, PIONEER
MERCHANT HERE, DEAD

John Neal, a well known furniture
dealer on Marietta street and a resident
of 172 West North avenue, died today
at his home. The body was removed
to Barclay & Brandon's chapel and will
be taken to Thomson tomorrow for flu
neral and interment in the family lot
Mr. Neal was 73 years old. He came to
Atlanta in 1868 from Warrenton, repre-
senting his county in the Legislature,
and introduced and had passed the bill
creating McDunie county from Warren
and Glascock counties,
He was for years the largest furni-
ture dealer in Atlanta, with stores
throughout the state, and was promi-
nent real estate holder. He had been a
sufferer for years, though only for the
last few months was his condition
known to be serious.
Mr. Neal is survived by his wife, Mrs
Sallie Adkins Neal, and two daughters
Misses Carrie Lou and Nellie Neal

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 3.-The only po-
lltlcal news of Importance over Sunday
was that, contrary to previous cable adj
vices. Austria is not demobilizng. but is
calling more reservists to the colors and
that an important shift of troops was
made on the Russian frontier and the
Balkan border.
Liverpool came in slightly better than
due. spots points lower sales 5000
bales. There was no cable news of i'm
portance. First trades here were at an
advance of a few points and the market
held very steady around 1921 for May
Trading small, showing a waiting atti-
tude on the part of trade and specula-
ton. New York reports Mitchell buying
holding the market, but that sentiment is
rather against an advance on the ground
of general information from the South
of extensive unchanged spot holdings and
slow demand.
General rains over Sunday helped the
market sentimcntally, but rainfall was
light in Western states and clearing and
much colder is indicated west of the At
lantiCs by tomorrow. More rain will oc-
cur today in the Eastern states fol-
lowed by clearing and colder tomorrow
night
Spots duh and neglected. but there is
no particular pressure to sell.
