SPOT COTTON QUOTATIONS
HIGHER IN NEW YORK.

Atlanta. Ca, Nov lst-Spot cot
ton quotations of che New YORK
cotton exchange will nearly always
be higher than spot quotations OF
the local spot markets over the
south, in the opinion of United
States Senator Hoke Smith, of Geor-
gia, who attributes this result to
the bill regulating the New York
Exchange which ne introduced in
the senate and which became a law
in 1914 This law abolished the
old form of contract under which
the New York Exchange had always
operated and provided a new form of
contract requiring the seller of spot
cotton to deliver spinnable cotton
not less than four grades lower than
the grade called for in the contract
and requiring him, when delivering
a lower grade, to pay the actual
difference in value between this
grade and the grade which he con-
tracted to deliver This contract,
the senator states has made it neces-
sary for the New York Exchange to
buy large quantities of spinnable
cotton of good grades in order to
make deliveries under the contract
required by the Federal act, and in
order to keep supply the Elk
change muaN slways pay a little
better than the local spot market
quotations. The senator declares
the farmers of the south will now
get back some of the $4,000, 900
per year out Of which they were
robbed by the New York Exchange
under the old form of dishonest con-
tract

A. F .ALMAND SAYS HE COULD
TALK ALL DAY LONG ABOUT
TANLAC-FEELS AS WELL AS
HE EVER FELT IN HIS LIFE.

Nearly two thousand speople in
Atlanta alone purchased Tanlac last
week. These people represented
practically every walk of life, in
Guiding a great many prominent
business men, and almost without
exception, every one of the number
had something good to say about
Tanlac. kDlOng them was Mr.. A. f.
Almand, the well-known wholesale
and retail seed and grain merchant,
whose place of bushes is located
at 271-273 Peters street. Mr.. AL

pressed it, His word is as good as
his bond"
Like great many other men of
affairs who stick close to business,
Mr.. Armand, to use his own stat g
ment, was all run down, and felt the
need of something to build him up.
In an interesting interview a few
days ago, he said:
