Bulls Held in Check by
Fear of Tax on Futures
Weevil and Hot Weather in Texas Only BAD
Crop News To Be Heard.

NEW ORLEANS. July 12.-with
the sword of Damocles hanging over
the cotton market, it is hard to
arouse speculation in the staple, even
though a somewhat bullish environ
ment has developed recently. Since
the Government reports were issued
July 3 Liverpool has shown distinct
~ bullish attitude, neither the con-
dttion figures nor the acreage being
considered of a bearish character by
European cotton trade.
Taking advantage of the pessimistic
feeling created by the proposition to
tax futures out of existence, bearish
interests, here and in New York, sold
the market rather aggressively in the
early part of the week, depressing
contract prices to the level of 1I.40
for October delivery. The strength
manifested by Liverpool, where a
good spot demand has been in evil
dence, sales totalling 10000 bales al
most every day, checked the declin-
ing tendency, and started shorts to
covering.
Anticipation of possible damage to
the crop from the high temperatures
now prevailing in Texas, together
with numerous reports of the boil
weevil ravaging the crop in the west
ern and central belt, induced some
fresh buying. With bulls bidding for
cotton and shorts inclined to cover,
the market has had a substantial re-
action upward from the low level es-

U. S. LEADS IN THE VALUE
OF EXPORTS TO GERMANY

The United States heads the list
Of countries as to the value of the
exports to Germany in 1912. Russia
ranks second, Great Britain third, and
Austria Hungary fourth. The United
Kingdom still is the best customer
for German products, Austria Hun
gary coming next, the United States
third France fourth, and Russia
fifth.
If the value of the total trade be-
tween the countries during 1912 is
considered, the United States is first
with $543, 800 900; Russia second, with
1925, 100000; the United Kingdom
third, with $477O0O,O 900; Austria Hun
gary fourth, with SAB, 800, 900; and
France fifth, with 1926, 100000
The decrease in the value of the re-
ceipts from Russia was due prin-
Cipally TO smaller grain shipments
from that country; and the greater
imports from the United States to
increased shipments of wheat, copper
and raw cotton.

Futures Sales Made
Of Southern Iron
Considerable Pig Engaged at Low
Prices for Delivery During
Third Quarter of Year.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July H.
Considerable pig iron has been sold
in Southern territory for delivery
during the third quarter of the year,
some of tho larger consumers in the
East and elsewhere taking advantage
Of the low prices.
Manufacturers in this section Of the
country have concluded they have
sold enough iron at the low levels
and have advanced prices from so
cents to 81 per ton. The production
has been cut down at least 10 to 10
per cent six furnaces in Tennessee
and Alabama being blown out. Re
pair work is being done on one or two
of these furnaces. While 81 per ton,
No. foundry, is given as the aver
age price for the product, there still
are reports that concessions are be-
ing made.
Inquiries are in hand that promise
to result in business export deals
under negotiation amounting to 12.-
500 tons. while domestic business
under consideration amounts to not
less than $4,000 tons. The intentions
are to reduce the accumulated stacks
Of iron.
The home consumption is looking
up. Castiron pipe plants in Annis-
ton, North Birmingham, Greater
Birmingham, Bessemer Holt, Gads-
den and other places are beginning to
melt little more iron. The big plant
of the American Radiator Company
at North Birmingham has been start
ed up. 1t is proposed to melt 200 tons
of iron daily at this place. The COM
pany spent something like 100000 on
the big plant at North Birmingham.
The new pipe plant at Gadsden
started up this week and when in full
operation there will be, healthy
melt. This plant replaces the one de-
stroyed by fire.
There is considerable activity in the
steel market and all predictions now
are there will be steady operation of
plants through the balance of the
year Southern railroads are begin
ming once more to announce estimates
of needs. Rail is in demand, as are
bolts and spikes,
There is a strong demand for coke
in this section of the country and all
manufacturers are finding it neCes-
sary to keep coke ovens, both the
beehive and the by-product types, in
full operation. Better prices prevail
for coke now than for some time
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-07-13

tablished earlier in the week There
has been no general activity, how
ever in the market, which has been
more or less under the control of the
professional element.
The July position, strange to say,
has shown relative weakness. Export
ers have had practically no orders,
and even If they had them would find
it a difficult matter to secure the
grades sought after by the trade on
the other side.
Except for reports as TO damage
by boil weevil in Texas, Louisiana
and Mississippi, crop accounts con-
tinue of a satisfactory character. In
fact, the reports as to the progress
now being made by the crop could
hardly be more encouraging.
1t is believed by some that crop
prospects are now in the zenith, and
for this reason there is an inclination
to buy the market on declines. the
argument being made that the critical
crop period is now at hand, and that
any change in the condition is certain
to be for the worse. The alarmist
element in the market is trying 10
make capital out of the high tenn
peratures reported in Texas within
the last few days. These tempera-
lures have not been abnormally high
for Texas yet, however, and conserv-
alive people in the market think that
hot dry weather is just what is need =
ed to hold the boil weevil in check
in that section of the belt,

Texas Bankers Are
To Aid the Farmers
Arrangements Made to Advance
Money on the Cotton Crops
Without Mortgage.

FORT WORTH. TEN. July 12-Peter
Radford, president of Texas Farmers
Union, in a public statement says
In Texas cotton is the, money crop
and the problem of marketing it in
diligently has absorbed the attention
of the leaders of economic thought
for a half century The crop is oft
times mortgaged, and debt is such a
hard taskmaster that the farmer In
order to escape it, rushes to the mar
ket with his products and down goes
the price
ITO relieve the pressure the bankers
are advancing the farmers S35 a bale at
6 per cent, payable when the cotton is
sold. The title to the cotton rests with
the farmer and he can sell when he
pleases. and there is no longer occasion
for dispOsing Of his crop in a weak OF
glutted market
I'm my estimation the slow market
ing of Gotten viii increase the farm
price at least from ~ to per cent net
over the price obtained under present
methods. making a minimum net saving
10 the farmer of $50 900, 900. 1t is now
M to the farmer TO take advantage OF
the facilities offered.

Economist Explains
Shortage of Money
World Produces $780, oo,o 900 Of
Capital Yearly-Sometimes Burns
Up or Demands More.

Lately it has been said frequently
that demand for capital is in excess
of supply" Just what this means
was explained by NJ. Leroy Beaulieu,
the eminent French economist, who
wrote:
The growing Industrial States,
particularly the new countries, are
at this moment demanding more
capital than the whole world has &C
cumulated recently or is accumulat-
ing to-day. From this fact follow
two consequences: First, that the
users Of this capital have to pay
more for IT in the shape of a higher
interest rate; second, that they will
be compelled to postpone, or extend
for several years, many of the enter
prises on which they had decided and
for which they had already made
preparations
THE civilized world, so far as it
can be reckoned up, provides $2,4O0,-
000,0 in available capital annually
for investment in securities, it is
asked in 1906 to provide $3,25O, 900, 900.
There was a demand, in America at
any rate, for even more than its part
of the above estimate to be provided
during 1907. But the world has not
got It; therefore 1t can not provide it.
Add to this the effect of catastro-
Plies, such as the San Francisco and
Valparaiso earthquakes. which cost
something like $200,000,0O0 and you
will have a perfectly clear explana-
ton OF the existing crisis, the rise IN
the interest rate and the fall of in
vestment securities. The truth is,
nations, quite as we'll as individuals,
have reached the point where they
must limit their undertakings to the
possibilities of the case; that will be
done, If not willingly, then by force
of events"
In 1906 the borrowing nations and
individuals did not thus limit volun-
tarily their undertakings. and their
bankers did not compel them to do so.
In 1907, the force of events" oper-
ated. This season. the restrictive
process has been applied early and
decidedly.

Big Crop, High Prices
For Georgia Melons
BUYERS Pay as High as 5000 Per
Car for Catalogues and $175
for Watermelons.

CAMILLA, GA. July 12.-The can
taloupe and watermelon season is at
its flush in this section. The hot
dry weather for the past two weeks
has caused the crops to ripen unusu-
ally fast. The prices for both crops
have been very satisfactory. The
first car of contaloUpes sold for $500,
track. Two other cars shipped the
same day brought upwards Of -
per crate. Prices later ranged be-
tween $500 and $3.50 per car.
Watermelons sold at a fancy price,
the first carloads at $3.50 to $17O per
car.
Tomato shipments are moving
freely and truckers who were lucky
enough to put in a fine acreage are
receiving from 81 to $3.50 per crate.
Several commission houses have com
plimented the growers on the extra
fine grade of tomatoes in this sec
ton. This is a departure for Camilla
truckers and a large acreage will be
planted next year.

Increase Of 10 IL Per Cent Is
Expected in Rail Earnings

While most of the railroads
ended their fiscal year June 30,
it will be a month or more before
the actual gross and net for the
twelve months are available; new.
ertheless, with the figures now at
hand for the eleven months, II Is
possible to estimate the results
for 1918.
According to those figures, Il
now looks as If the railroads will
earn something like $3,175,o 900 900
gross, or ssoo,ooo,ooo more than
was earned for 1912. That would
be an inCr ease of 10 10 per cent.
Net after taxes will amount to
$e45, 100000 In round figures, or a
gain Of $4,000, 900, or 9 per cent
over the preceding twelve months.
