NARROW RANCE IN
COTTON At CLOSE
Market Seesaws All Day-Buying
Much Better-More Links Are
Added to Bear Chain.

NEW YORK. Oct. S.-Overnight re-
ports of a storm off the South Carolina
coast affected the cotton market at the
opening to-day. First prices were 3
to points below the closing quotations
of Tuesday. Immediately after the
opening distant positions recovered the
entire decline, but failed to go higher.
Near months were put under pressure.
The largest spot houses were conspic-
uOus buyers. A covering movement al
so helped the advance
Bears took the reins in their hands
during the early forenoon on further
weakness IN the Southern spot markets
and very favorable weather conditions.
The detailed weather map showed that
the reports of heavy rains in Texas
yesterday were untrue.
While the selling was rather general
with October dropping to 1873, Decem-
Der 1873 and January 1903, being new
low levels for the present downward
movement, there was good demand from
strong sources.
Throughout the forenoon there was
steady accumulation at the bottom and
the market held comparatively steady.
Bull leaders We're more optimistic
than they have been for some time past
and there was general feeling that
the decline has gone TAR enough. IN
conservative quarters it is asserted that
reaction of nearly 100 points, with
out pausing is too much, regardless of
what conditions are. Many believe that
there Will be a fresh outburst of en-
thusiasm for the long side. which has
apparently exhausted. This. together
with the strength of the dry goods
market, where several sharp advances

the past few days.
The class of buying during the after
noon session was Of much better
who have been active on the selling side
said to be catching stop orders, and
shotr selling. which, If true, the techni-
cal position of the market would Justify
an upturn. October rallied to 1851; de
cember 1888, and January 1913
However sentiment is becoming more
bearish each day, which is only natural
on bear movement. A local spot in
terest was reported to be out with an
estimate Of 14,500 900 bales, including
linters. This added another link to the
bear chain.
At the close the market was steady
with prices points lower to 4 points
higher than the final quotations of
Tuesday.

Georgia's natural resources are far

IF the people Of this country would
apply the same effort at intensive
farming that they do the whole world
would soon realize there was no COM
parison in the advantages of the two
sections"
Mr.. Pedder admitted that he had
viewed Georgia through rose colored
glasses on account of the natural ad-
vantages this section has had this
year. California has had two bad
years. Georgia has her bumper crop
this year But he said he was sure
he had estimated accurately the nor
NAL advantages of the two sections.
81 truly believe this section is be-
ginning its most successful year"
he said.> The advantage should be
a lesson for greater success in years
to come. II the Southern farmers
should just get ahead enough to solve
the credit problem the strides this
section would make would be the
marvel of the world.
During the last three weeks col
lections have been better than at any
similar period in the history of the
State. The prosperity should be per-
