Raiders of Cotton Prices
Meet With Bitter Defeat

cotton for sale. What followed is q
matter OF market history. The mar
ket closed Monday, with a bear panic
on, and had it not been for heavy
profit taking by one OF the large pro-
fessional operators in this market,
who was heavily long, there is no
telling just how high the market
would have sold at the close.
The following day, Tuesday, Liver
pool was rather disappointing, caus-
ing the local market to open some 10
points down. The bear crowd plucked
up courage once more, and sold the
market short at the bottom, depress-
ing prices to the level of 11.57 for
October contracts. When they had
exhausted their selling power the bull
element came to the support of the
market. both here and in New York,
and another sensational advance fol-
lowed. Prices climbed rapidly.
At 1855 for October contracts, stops
were reached on some big lines of
short cotton, and before the slaughter
of the bears was over December con-
tracts had sold as high as 11.S0 and
October contracts as high as Ills.
At that level leading bull interests
began to take profits on large scale
and the market has since displayed a
reactionary tendency, but with a ner-
vous undertone.

again become very aggressive in its
operations.
The immediate cause of the sharp

The gist of this report was given out
Sunday night, and was cabled to Liv-

Monday Liverpool came strong, but
the bears, still hopeful that they
could control the course Of the mar

the opening. Brown and Hayne and

took all the contracts offered.

crop conditions have improved during
the week, according to reports from
farm demonstration agents in various
parts of the State. The warm wealth
er, following the week of wet and
cold weather. has put forward the
cotton and the corn. Cotton, back
ward because of the spring drouth,
was greatly in need Of the warmer
weather. While 1t thrived under the
better conditions, the crop can not
vet be said to be in a satisfactory
condition. Continued favorable wealth
er another week is expected to put
cotton on a better footing.
Corn has grown steadily and the
prospects at this time are very IA
vorable for a large crop. The corn
outlook, In fact, is much brighter
than It was at this season last year.
The week past has been favorable to
breaking the ground in most of the
State and the farmers have been very
busy putting the oat and wheat stub

of supreme importance to have some

Atlanta Bankers ThinkBiU
Is Step in Right Direction

While cautious in expressing them
selves, pending careful study Of the
full text Of the measure when It
energies from the committee stages,
Atlanta bankers are inclined to be-
lieve that the currency bill presented
to Congress by the administration
leaders is a step in the right direc-
ton.
The feature which brings particular
commentator is the provision OF the
act which makes 1t possible for mem
Der banks to re-discount short-term
commercial paper with the reserve
Federal banks.
Some apprehension IS expressed
over the possible political complexion
Of the board Of control which, from
cursory examination OF the draft n
bill would seem to have power to
override the experienced bankers on
the board 1t is agreed that much Of
the success of the plan will depend
upon the personnel of this board.
One Feature Disturbing.
Frank Hawkins, president Of the
Third National Bank, points to this
disturbing feature:
Il suppose" he says, that the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. the Comp
troller Of the Currency and any four
men the President would be likely TO
appoint would make a safe and sane
board But there seems 20 be a pos
sibilitY of politicians gaining complete
control. unless unusual discretion is
employed in making these appoint
ments. Now, l have not seen the full
text of the bill. | am not prepared to
comment on its details. Only from
the general outline as first published
am ! able to draw any conclusions. At
first glance it raised a doubt in my
mind as to whether II is good to al
low the central board in Washington

canks. There may be restrictions
which safeguard this. which will be
made clear to us later"

One or two very large institutions
are vowing that unless the measure
Is radically altered they will take out
State charters to escape political
domination.
Politicians in Charge.
These extreme Views, however, are
not generally shared. although In
many directions objection is raised TO
the whole political character Of the
control provided Politicians, not
bankers, would run the country's
banking business under the owen
Glass scheme
In their anxiety to thwart "the
money power" the administration
does appear to have gone too far In
eliminating experienced bankers from
the management Of the nations cur
rency and banking.
Briefly, there is to be a Federal
reserve board which win be composed
of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Secretary Of Agriculture. the Comp
troller Of the Currency and four 9TH

This body win have unrestrained con-
troll OF the twelve other district
boards which will be organized These
district boards in turn are TO consist
OF three bankers three business rep
resentatives and three other Govern
ment nominees. But the three bust
ness men are liable to be relieved al
will by the Federal authorities.
Board All Powerful.
II viii thus be seen that the poll
ticians have the bankers at their
mercy. The plan gives the Fedora
reserve board tremendous power, even
during normal times II would be
better from a banking point of view
to allow the district boards to con

the Washington board the right Il
step in only when occasion might de-

Several provisions do not appear
workable, but on the other hand, GER

confidence that the bill can be passed

probable. Moreover, ii would not
