COTTON

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 Satisfactory
Liverpool cables and reports that cot
ton in the South can not be bought at
present prices, furnished the chief in
huence. at the opening of the cotton
market to-day, first prices being l to Z
points higher than Wednesdays close.
Trading was largely professional. Of
ferings were very light and there was
no signs of aggressiveness on the port
of those who have followed the decline
OF late. Commission houses apparently
furnished the larger quantity of con-
tracts. but offerings were scattered.
Brokers closely identified with the lead
ing spot interests were good buyers; also
Liverpool brokers. The result widened
the initial gains to points.
After the call there was a good bit
of swapping and buying of some months,
against purchases of others, and at the
end OF the first hour the list stood
to points lower than the opening.
The feature Of the early trading was
the selling OF December contracts and
buying later positions.
Good crop-moving weather was re-
ported from the South, hut this seemed
to have no effect on quotations.
During the forenoon there was very
little doing, but the market steadied,
based on a wire from Atlanta. Ga,
stating that plantation movement was
very light in that territory and spots
hard to buy, eve nat As points on March,

Wilson's Program
Reported in London.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian
LONDON, Nov. 13.-nterest in the
American policy with regard to Mex.
leo was intensified here to-day by 6
London Times article written by thai
newspapers Washington correspond
ent and forwarded by cable. The
correspondent represented the follow
ing as having been formulated BY
President Wilson:
The United States will insist
upon the elimination of General
Huerta and all those closely asso-
ciated with him from the control
Of public affairs and to secure this
end Will spare no effort and will
invade Mexico if necessary.
Every endeavor will be made to
effect the elimination of the
Huerta administration by finan-
cial pressure. Or, in other words,
no steps will be taken to aid that
administration to avoid what
seems to be inevitable bankrupt
cy. 1t will be made clear to for
eign investors that the Obliga
tons incurred by the present re-
gime will not be recognized and
must become worthless.
II financial pressure should not
prove sufficient to accomplish the
end desired the United States
will resort to a blockade of the
Mexican ports, thus destroying
the customs revenues and pre-
venting the importation Of mu-
nitiOns Of war In the meantime
the possibility that the United
States navy should collect the
Mexican customs is being Sc
riously considered.
When the eliminati ton of Huer-
IA has been obtained. efforts will
be directed to inducing some one
acceptable to both factions to as
sumo the provisional presidency
under the protection Of the Unit
ed States.
President Wilson requires that
a general election be held and
new Congress and President be
elected.
1t will be made clear TO all ma
lions that nothing will induce the
United States to acquire territory
as the result OF intervention.
1T may be AIDED" said the article
that while President Wilson is de
termined in this course, he is equally
determined to avoid any appearance
of precipitation, and for this reason l.
now marking time 1t is asserted il
official circles that the President en-
Joys the cordial support of his Cabi'
net. which is a superfiuous assertion
in view of the extent to which Pres
ident Wilson dominates the entire
government. and that there are few
critics in the Legislature who utte1
criticisms except in whispers"

No explanation was vouchsafed for
Mr.. Lind's taking up his quarters at

Expect Lind's Departure
To Make Final Step.


turn of John Lind, special diplomatic
representative of. President Wilson,
TO Vera Cruz is looked upon here to-
day as one of the final steps which
will lead to an open break between
the United States Government and
the Huerta regime. This may come
within "a hours.
There appeared TO be ground for
the belief that President Wilson de-
sired to have Mr.. Lind out of this city
when he makes public to the world
the new policy OF the United States
in the Mexican situation.
Nelson O'Shsughnessy, the United
States Charge d'Affaires, spent the
entire night in his Office at the en-
bassy sending dispatches to Wash
1nston and arranging important state
papers. His work was frequently in
corrupted by visits from American
residents of the capital who desired
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy' opinion as to
whether it would be safe to remain in
the capital any longer.
o'Shaughnessy Ready to Leave.
That section of the Mexican press
which is supporting General Huerta
commented with biting phrases on
Washington reports that President
Wilson will ALLOW the Constitutional
lists to import arms if General Huerta
persists in converting Congress this
month to affirm the election" held on
October IS
Reports We're current that Mr.
O'Shaughnessy was packing up pre-
paratory to leaving Mexico City but
this was denied at the United States
Embassy as absurd" Nevertheless,
it is known that he would not be sur
prised to receive his passports at any
moment.
The movements Of the United States
Warships in Mexican waters indicates
that if intervention is ordered ma
lines will be landed simultaneously at
Vera Cruz and Tampico. The Mexi-
co City Offices of the Waters Pierce

their branch offices at Vera Cruz say

ably would be landed within Sc hours

Almost everything and everybody was

It was rumored the other day that
crop conditions We're not as good as at
this time last year. Anyway, in the
southern part Of Texas cotton has been
planted and Is up in many spots GeOr-
gia seems to be enjoying much pros

work in general swing. As a whole, the
entire cotton belt is far ahead OF crop
preparations at this time last year with
all indications pointing to a large increase
in acreage.
There was some buying today on supply
and distribution figures. Mitchell bought
July at 1872.
There has been nothing in the market
today worthy Of comment Altogether the
market has been only a swapping affair.
Sentiment continues very bearish and
lower prices are looked for

NARROW RANCE IN
COTTON MARKET
Conservatives Withdraw Sup
port Until After Easter Holt
dayS-Trade Dull.

NEW YORK. March 1S-A handful Of
beartsh reports, coupled with exceedingly
oearish sentiment generally, caused the
local cotton market to open quiet today
from last nights close.
The most important factor was the
acreage estimate OF The New York Com
merclal. which placed the acreage for
1918 crop at 36,176,O10 acres and the CEN
sQs report on supply and distribution,
which showed 10000 bales less consump-
uon during February in this country and
an increase in stocks. Stocks in manu-
bales.
After half hour Of light but active
trading prices showed further depression
81 I TO . points in most active positions.
Inc selling was general and coming
mainly from the leading interests. The
buying was light and scattered.
4 good deal of cotton that had been
bought on account Of last weeks rains
over the belt was uuloaded during the
early trading, which helped the decline,
Later room covering checked the de
cline and after the call the list ranged
about ) points under the previous close.
There was some buying during the fore
noon based on the supply and distribu
tlon figures which were considered bull
lsh by conservatives. The selling, how
ever, continued general, but prices re
trleved the decline and during the late
forenoon March was steady at the initial
level, May at 11.90, July at 11S6 and Oc-
tober at II. 80, against an opening Of II. "a
The chief support rendered the market
during the late session was the buying
Of certain large spot house here and
in Liverpool, which was based on the
wide margin between this market and
Liverpool. II is generally believed that
the market will continue dull and a swap
ping affair until after the holidays The
talent seems TO center its attention en-
tlrely upon the census report to be is
sued March 20, on the size of the old
crop. Apprehensions concerning the re-
port are very favorable. The majority
of operators anticipate a bearish report.
Conservative estimates range from a.,
COO 600 to 1880 900 bales. The first fig
ure, however is regarded as the most
substantial estimate
