MEMPHIS, June 2S.-An under
sized plant continues the chief COM
plant from the cotton fields. To off,
set this there is almost unequaled
cultivation, stands that, as rule, are
satisfactory and, except for the pres
ence of the weevil in some sections, an
absence of pests. The hardness of
the crop ruling over the larger por-
ton of the belt, and amounting to
from one to two weeks, is expressed
in the initial statement of condition,
and until it is overcome there seems
likelihood of concern over the yield
proving sufficient to fill the promised
requirements.
It is admitted that so far the late
start is not serious enough to prove
an insurmountable barrier to a very
large crop, but each week it exists
will increase the probabilities Of it
proving one. 1t is generally felt that
the excellent cultivation. reports from
everywhere saying the fields are as
clean as a garden and the soil in fine
filth, decreases the danger of drouth
injury and has resulted in develop
ment Of good tap root, but the time
is near when soaking rains will be
necessary. There have been COM
plants already of suffering because
they are lacking and they will in
crease until they are forthcoming
During the past week or so some
showers have been received in scat
tered sections, partially relieving
needs, but prospects of overcoming
the crops handicaps as yet are none
too good. Things are in first class
shape to make quick response to a
plentiful supply of moisture, but
without it in the course OF a week or
two there will probably be some re-
vision of ideas as to yield.
Make War on WeeVils.
The effort to minimize the ravages
Of the boil weevil in the affected ter
ritories continues with varying sue
cess, depending largely on the energy
shown in picking the pests from the
plant and thus reducing their num-
Der. 1t will be some time before any
definite idea can be obtained as to
the probable extent of their work, for
the blooming season is only begin
ming and they do no injury until the
fruiting stage of the crop. Advices
reaching here tell of them being
numerous over an increasing area.
First blooms at this center have
been plentiful, averaging about the

usual time, although that is not al
ways a safe index to the advance
ment of the crop. 1t is argued by
close students of the crop situation
that If the plant does not soon attain
its proper size for this time Of the

promise of a heavy yield
Expects BulIish Report.
The Governments bureau condition
report that is to be issued July 3 con-
jointly with the acreage estimate is
being discussed, and private estimates
are already being received. The
failure of the plant to attain its nor
NAL size during the past few weeks
has caused some revision of expeCta-
tions, but the presumption is that
the report will come a point or two
perhaps more. over the June report
of 1911. The acreage figures are ex-
pected to show a gain of around 8
per cent over last years final figures
Wednesday Of the past week was the
final day to be included in the report
and to that time there had been no
soaking rains in the sections most
needing them.
The spot situation continues steady
and the tendency of prices has been
to a higher level. The speculative
spot situation, reflected chiefly
through the July position in New
York, has remained in the control OF
the bulls, and stock in that center has
been only slightly increased over the
minimum. Quotations for spots in
the belt have been advanced until
middling ranges from IL cents to 1873
Business has not been large, but this
is due as much to paucity of Offering
as to anything else.
Spinners Buy Steadily.
Movement has been moderate, but
at ports ahead of a year ago at this
time, indicating that exports will, for
a while at least run larger. There
continues evidence Of large consump-
ton and one source of strength in the
contract market has been the quiet
absorption of offerings by spinners
against their needs of the actual in
the fall.
1t yet remains to be proven that
the early movement will be heavy,
which adds to the uncertainty of the
spinners' position. In the meantime
the world is coming to the opinion
that if the coming crop is not $4,000
600 or more bales, some very high
prices will be witnessed

GEORGIAN BIDS
JULY OPTIONS
To HIGH LEVEL
Athens Spot Dealer Leads on
New Orleans Exchange Floor,
BuIIing Near Month.

NEW ORLEANS, June 2s.-The
July deal In this market is now at
tracing more attention. There had
been so little talk here about the July
position that many Of the trade had
formed the opinion that there would
be no advance of consequence in July
in this market. Consequently. not a
few sold out their July longs at a
much lower level and bought the dis
tant deliveries at somewhat narrower
differences than now prevail.
The situation in July changed when
q wealthy merchant and spot man
from Athens, Ga, appeared on the
floor and announced his intention Of
taking up July contracts in this mar
ket. He backed up this announcement
with good supporting orders for July,
and has been a persistent buyer Of
July contracts on every decline re
Gently. The result has been a decided
strengthening of that month, which
has increased its premium over the
rest of the list, and is now maintain
ing a level somewhat in keeping with
the price of actual cotton, basis mid
ding.
Within the last day or two 1t has
also become apparent that Frank 3.
Hayne has large interest In the July
position here The July shorts, there
fore, finding that position so strongly
supported, have become decidedly un-
easy, and have been covering to the
best advantage as the opportunity Of
fered. The covering thus far has been
of scattered character. but sufficient
to enhance the premium on July over
October. which has been running

points 1t is predicted by some Of the
brokers that July will go TO a pre-
MUM of 100 points over October be-
fore the July position is finally liqui-
dated.
Several private crop reports have
been issued this week. From a bear
ish standpoint, they have not been
very encouraging, showing an i'm
provement during June of only IL
per cent in the condition OF the crop
as compared with last month. 1t is
asked, IF the crop has not improved
more than that during June, always
a good month for crop development,
what will happen during July ami
August, critical crop months, during
which deterioration as a rule takes
placer"
The talent is closely watching the
crop situation, which does not appear
any too promising at present and
should there be any change for the
worse in the condition, heavy specu-
lative buying would probably be wit
messed in the cotton market.
Some of the more sanguine bulls
are already predicting Is cents by the
end of July. If market history re-
peats itself this level will be seen, as
cotton sold above 10 cents in the
summer of both 1912 and 1911.

Banks Prove Adroit
In Phrasing Opinion
Resolutions on Currency Reform
Make No Reference to Measure
Now Before Congress.
BY M. A. ROSE.

Nothing more adroit than the At
lanta Clearing House Association S
resolutions on the currency bill has
been phrased in many a day.
1t bears reading twice. At first
glance, the hurried builder of head
lines would be inclined to write Cur
rency Bill Warmly Indorsed" or
something TO that effect.
Which is far from the truth.
Careful examination shows that no.
where do the Atlanta bankers say
they think the measure now before
Congress is what they want. On the
other hand, there is no criticism.
In straightaway terms the resolu-
tions mean: I'VE, the bankers of At
lanta, think currency reform is a ne
cessity. We commend President Will
son unreservedly for attempting tho
task so promptly. We think that If
President Wilson, the House and the
Senate will seek a little advice from
those qualified to give it they proba-
bly, will be able to work out a salts
factory plan.
There is studied avoidance of any
reference TO the present bill.
Sure To Be Passed.
Atlanta bankers have been assured
that a currency measure is certain to
a
Washington is that the President has
enough votes pledged to it's support to
make a money bill a certainty.
If this is the case, and If twelve
regional banks are TO be established,
Atlanta wants one of them, and thinks
it is her right to be recognized in
this way.
New York, Chicago, Boston. Phila-
delphia, San Francisco, Kansas City,
Cincinnati, Louisville, New Orleans,
Denver and Baltimore seem pretty
sure to get regional banks This
leaves one vacancy on the list, and
one section of the country unprovided
for, the Southeast.
Three Cities Contenders.
Atlanta and Birmingham and posi-
blv Savannah will do battle for this
place. Birmingham and Savannah
are reserve cities. Atlanta is not
Birmingham has also the advantage of
the prestige and influence welded by
the redoubtable Oscar Underwood.
Against this Atlanta win urge its
willingness to comply with the re-
ouirements to make itself a reserve
city, and its supreme importance in
its territory, as the natural center of
finances and commerce for the South
east
IT promises 10 De- an interesting
contest, and Atlanta at least has made
a good beginning by expressing its
belief in the President and in the need
of monetary reform.
At present the thing looks like an
expensive and improbable game for
the national banks.
Bankers Hold Bag.
All profits above per cent go to
the Government; there is a very low
limit on the rediscounting privilege;
heavy liability is entailed; no inter
est is allowed on reserve funds, but
the Government gets interest on its
deposits. and to cap the climax, the
banks. who own all the stock, are in
the minority on the directorate.
Letters to Atlanta indicate that
some of the largest national banks in
the United States will apply for
Safe charters If the present act be-
comes a law.
Believing that wiser counsel will
prevail before the bill is passed, At
lanta bankers still are hopeful.

DREAM OF HERO NOW SHATTERED
 BY A M0NOCLE

St. Louis, Mo, July 26-A monocle has shattered the dreams of pr. Otto Gordon Goldfield of Germany, of his father, vice-p president of the Corpora ticn of Hamburg, and of beautiful
 European chorus girl whose identity shall remain a secret until her hero dream has been rebuilt and realized. Dr. Go1dfe1d, a self confessed lover, spendthr1ft and temporarily disfnher- ited son, recently came to the. United States with the intention of Joining the army He wanted to forget the pretty chorus girl, the bright lights of Monte Carlo, and the memory of the money he lavished on his fiancee in one year. Three years in the American army Goldfield's father and the girl decided would make a man of him. He would then return home, be re-inherited and would marry the girl. Go1dfie1d en- listed at Chicago last Tuesday and was assigned to Jefferson Barracks in St Louis. He arrived with a, nonoc1e in front of his right eye, with cane hanging on his left forearm and other signs of the dandy. His physique wss AppoIesque. He could ride, hurdle and swim.
 But--he wore a monocle and could not see, at least not perfectly The strain caused by it's constant use has made him unfit for the United States army. The local examining officer, therefore, rejected him yesterday and the Germans dream was shattered.

NEW TRIAL
 FOR BUONOMO
Condemned Man Gets An other Chance After Date
 of Execution

Joseph Buonomo, who was convict ed Of killing Jennie Cavelerf in Strat- ford last December, has been granted a new trial by decision of the su- preme court handed down yesterady.
 Buonomo's death had been fixed for April 4th, and the hanging wasspost- poned automatically by the appeal, which acts as a, stay of execution. Had the court denied the appeal, Buonono would have been hanged at once.
 Buonomo was found guilty of mur der in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged, in the superior court in this city, on December 24 of last year. He was to have been hanged on April 4 of this year. Buonomo was charged with having murdered Jennie Gave Teri in Stratford in the fall of last year. The killing occurred on an au- tomobile party and the woman was shot near the roads edge. Since his sentencing he has been at Wethers- field, awaiting the action of the su- preme court on his appeal. Had the decision been against him, yesterday, immediate preparations would have been made for his hanging and he would probably have been executed inside of a week.
 The news that he had been granted a new trial was conveyed to Buonorno about g o'clock last night and he burst into tears and sobbed like a CtA1AO 1OL S6NSAdL 1Ill1uL6S- 4AG S1dIiL- ing of the new trial, means at least a year more of life to him and a. chance to escape the death penalty.
 The decision of the Supreme court was written by Justice Thayer. The trial judge was Judge Case. The opinion granting the new trial says in part:
 ''The appellant was indicted with four other mSn for murder in the first degree. One of the indicted men es- caped arrest and the defendant and the other three were tried together. The state claimed upon the trial that the five men were in a conspiracy to kill Jennie Cavaliero, the victim of the homicide, which was by shootfng that the defendant fired the fatal shot and that the other four men aided in the crime At the close of the testi- rnony the states attorney announced his belief that he had failed to make out a ease for any degree of criminal homicide against any of the accused
