FARM PROSPERITY

tCan Be Continued indefinitely In
South u Farmers Do Their Part
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) THAT the
present wave Of farm prosperity" in
the South Ii home made" and can be
continued indefinitely Is the interest.
Ing statement made recently by II.
q. Hastings, President OF both the
Southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber Of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
Of farm prosperity In the South to the
present high price OF cotton rather
than to its real cause"
Naturally, the high price has helped
. great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmers peck.
OF or bank 10 that when the 1917 cot.
ton crop was made the farmer owned
Il instead Of owing It to supply mer.
chant at the end Of the season, as was
usually the case In times past Never
before had the farmers OF the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need Of few store purchases and

''If the 1917 crop had been mace on
the old basis OF plant all cotton and

would be supply merchant prospeE1s.,
but little or none on the farms.s
Naturally, the tenstation is grsss

crease food and grain acreage In 1918.
The man who does II Is foolish. The
whole world Is short OF food and this
condition will not only continue but
Get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is a. Ger.

The appointment OF Magistrate Strad-
ley as coroner pro tenn, relieved the

From the Financial Ticker

With U. S. Steel common in the lead,
the market on the Consolidated Stock
Exchange yesterday moved upward,
after two days holiday. Trading sem
ument had plainly retained the spirit
OF optimism shown in the closing deal
ings of last week. The fact that il
, was dividend day for both u. S. Steel
and Bethlehem Steel attracted special
attention to the steel shares. Early in
the session 1t was announced that
the usual quarterly dividends OF 2l-2
per cent had been declared on Bethle-
hem Steel Glass A ard Class B, COM
mon stocks. and this had a good effect
in the market. While there was fur
ther talk that the directors of the
U. S. Steel Corporation would make
no change in the dividend, leaving the
stock on a II per cent annual basis,
wagers were reported TO have been
made that the distribution for the
quarter would not exceed So a share
Talk of early peace persisted in many
quarters and helped to instill optimism
so far as sentiment was concerned.
Bullish operators said IL was a
creeping bull market" Steel opened
at 81 rs. sold at 81 3-4 and then rose
above 90 l-2. b. s. r. opened at IS 1-2,
sold at IS 3-S and advanced above a.
All divisions of the market gradually
strengthened. The railroads Joined in

and Reading were among the more
prominent issues I'm the trading
Bethlehem Steel Company yesterday
reported for year ended December 81,
1917. net income Of 1897 100. after all
deductions including estimated allow
ances for all taxes. compared with
siS. .593,eSS net income last year. This
is a decrease of Sl6.273.231 after divis
dends of I per cent preferred stock
Balance available for sJ9.4fS.OnO COM
mon stock outstanding was equal to
A4.20 a share.
~ ,Schwab. president OF the
Bethlehem steel Corporation. stated
that corporation has not made any
report In the foregoing statement as
TO the exact Federal taxes. And We
are not going to publish them,' he
added.
He called attention To the fact that
during 1916 the company was engaged
I in work for foreiSs governments, In
addition to United states government
business and domestic orders. where
as last year II was nearly all United
States government work. He also
stated that the company had to make
liberal depreciation allowances for
plants.
The Monday holiday resulted in an
accumulation of orders to buy stocks,
as the concentrated buying had a
healthy effect on the market at the
opening. with prices in nearly all Is
sues higher. Oils. CoppeTs. leather.
shipping and steeIs were favored. The
list was broad. but volume did not
show unusual proportions.
With directors meeting scheduled
for the day for U. s. steel and Bethie-
hem Steel, the action of these stocks
was watched with particular interest.
Stocks of both companies advanced
but Bethlehem steel, Glass r, seemed
a little heavier than steel common.
