PREPARAT|ONSFOR
CROP MAIN TOPIC
This, Along With Total Crop
Grown in 1912, Will Be
Discussed

New Orleans. March New crop
preparations and the total crop grown
this last season will be the main topics
of discussion in the cotton market this
week. Both subjects are important
but probably the new crop will take
the lead unless private forecasts of
the amount of cotton ginned up to the
end of February form a new set of
opinions radically differing from those
that have been entertained for some
time.
The revival of strong interest In the
amount of cotton grown this last sea-
son is being brought about by the final
report on ginning by the census tu-
reau. This report will be issued March
20, and will carry the crop down to
the end of February. will include lint
ers and Will also estimate the amount
of cotton to be ginned after the End
of February. In other words, 1t will
and will probably be approximat ely
correct, although subject as usual TO
some change.
For some time the trade has been
looking for a crop of from 100000 to
14.750,000 bales with the average of
opinion about 14,25O,O However, al
ready a few important private esti-
mates have come out, putting the total
crop under IA 100000 bales. one of them
being as low as 13,S00,000. There are
signs that other estimates will come
out this week that Will probably place
the total we'll up toward $4,000, 900
bales. This may result in great un-
certainty of opinion and more or less
nervousness in the future market as
the date of the census report draws
near.
Weather conditions this week will
have more effect than they have yet
had this year. Dry and warm weather
Is still needed to allow farm work t,
progress, rains Will be detrimental.
From all sections of the belt reports
are coming in that winter rains have
furnished all the moisture needed and
that the soil is in good condition for
plowing and planting and that all that
complete plowing. In the earliest sec
tions of the belt planting will get un-
der way this week, provided conditions
will allow IT to go ahead.
The spot department will be of more
interest this week than for some time
past because the trade Is guessing as
to the extent of March spot commit
ments. Bears are of the opinion that
little cotton has been sold for March
shipment but the Improvement In the
demand during the last days OF Feb
ruary has led bulls to hope otherwise.
This week ought to throw some light
on the question.

THE RIGHT KIND
OF BARGAIN SALES

From Judcious Advertising.
f. j. Hobere, advertising manager for
Louis Saks Clothing company. Birming-
ham, Ala, says that to educate the pub
lie, and get it to understand what the
word bargain" really means, is the rem
edy for removing the odium of cut-prlce
sales.
In other words, Holberg asserts that
he is the guy who took the "barn out
of bargain.
MY idea of n remedy for fake bargain
sales" he writes. lies In the educat tion
of the people themselves as to what con-
stitutes bargain.
I'm our own business we have a WE'LL
named sale in our END OF Season Sale
which is nothing more or less than its
name implies-a sale of real values at
bargain prices that will close out our
stocks so that we may start fresh the
new season.
"Outside of bargains of this nature, 1t
is cur purpose to give the public the
best merchandise we can for their money
In women's ready-to-wear. for ex-
ample we try to get the limit of value
at a price. A little better lining, better
workmanship, better trimmings, for in
stance, than our competitor offers. This
carries with IL purely sound business
methods where the ability of our buyers
can have full sway, and resolves itself
into brains in business.'
"n our Judgment bargain represents
the limit of value for a given sum. Ana
there Is IA limit.
ave try to impress on our trade-and
we have been successful In doing So
that when they do business with us they
are investing their money. instead of
merely spending 1t. That is to say, they
get value for their money-fuli value
whether at regular price or at END of
Season Sale for the difference in price
represents the difference in season.
"We believe that so long as the buy
ing public demands special sales at re-
duced prices we shall have them, and
we know of no way to prevent these sales
or even to minimize them Those who
do crooked business and offer as bar
gains merchandise cheap and shoddy and
of poor makeup VIII reap their reward in
bankruptcy and failure

APPO|NTMENTSAT
PRISON IN BALANCE
Will Federal Penitentiary
Officials at Atlanta Be
Turned Out?

Atlanta, March Especial )-There is
| considerable interest in tho attitude of
the new national administration toward
tentiary here, and the question as to
whether they will retail their positions or
be supplanted by democratic appointees
after March 4.
1t would naturally seem that these
would be civil service positions, because
1t is important to secure the best possible
service in the management of an institu-
ton of this sort. And yet these positions,
especially those of warden, deputy war
den, chaplain, physician and some others,
are subject to the whim of politics. These
appointments are made by the Attorney
General. They belong to the patronage
of his office. a
Warden w. H. Meyer was appointed
some half dozen years ago by Attorney
General p. c. Knox. He had been in the
department of justice many years prior to
being placed here. Deputy Warden Hawk
Is more recent conner, but gets his ap-
pointment from the same department.
Both are thoroughly efficient and capable
men. Warden Meyer has made a close
and careful study of prisons in many
countries. and 1t would be hard to find
a more capable prison official than ne has
made.
Notwithstanding, these are all repub-
lican appointees. and the question Is
whether the new Attorney General, un-
der the democratic administration, will
replace them with others or permit them
to continue in their present positions.
There will, of course. be numerous ap-
plicants for these positions, as have been
for practically every appointive office in
the gift of the administration. There are
some hundreds, no doubt, who feel that
they are thoroughly competent and quail
flied to conduct a big prison and many
of these will unquestionably endeavof to
impress their. beliefs upon the Attorney
General.
