JOHN NEAL. PIONEER
MERCHANT HERE, DEAD

John Neal. a well known furniture
dealer on Marietta street and resident
of 172 West North avenue, died today
at his home. The body was removed
to Barclay & Brandon's chapel and VIII
be taken to Thomson tomorrow for tu-
neral and interment in the family lot.
Mr.. Neal was 10 years old. He came to
Atlanta in 1868 from Warrenton, repre-
senting his county in the legislature,
and introduced and had passed the bill
creating McDufie county from Warren
and Glascock counties.

ture dealer in Atlanta, with stores
throughout the state, and was promi-
nent real estate holder. He had been a
sufferer for years, though only for the
last few months was his condition
known to be serious.
Mr.. Neal is survived by his wife, Mrs,
Sallie Adkins Neal and two daughters,
Misses Carrie Lou and Nellie Neal.

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Feb 3.-The only po
litlcal news of importance over Sunday
was that contrary to previous cable ad-
vices, Austria is not demobilizing but is
calling more reservists to the colors and
that an important shift of troops was
made on the Russian frontier and the
Balkan border.
Liverpool came in slightly better than
due spots points lower sales 5000
bales. There was no cable news of i'm
portance First trades here were at an
advance of a few points and the market
held very steady around 1927 for May.
Trading small, showing a waiting atti-
tude on the part of trade and specula-
ton. New York reports Mitchell buying
holding the market, but that sentiment is
rather against an advance on the ground
of general information from the South
of extensive unchanged spot holdings and
slow demand.
General rains over Sunday helped the
market sentimentally, but rainfall was
light in Western states and clearing and
much colder is indicated west of the At
lantics by tomorrow. More rain will oc-
cur today in the Eastern states. fol-
lowed by clearing and colder tomorrow
night
Spots dull and neglected but there is
no particular pressure to sell.
