ience, knows and has known the i'm
portance of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing railroad does after
obtaining right-of-way, as everyone
knows, is to build a roadbed and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track, which corresponds
to the surface of the highway, is built
of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however. do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con.
stant repairs.
That is just what we are coming to

The measure-Lever amendments
less drastic than the original Smith
bill, which limited the number of
grades that could be rendered on con-
tracts to five white grades, whereas,
the law as enacted permits the tendr-
ing of thirteen grades down to low
middling white, strict middling tinged,
strict middling yellow stained and good
middling blue stained. Therefore the
change is not as drastic as first
feared.
The law specifies that the following
seven grades will not be tenderable on
new contract:
"Strict good ordinary, good ordinary
white strict low middling and low
middling yellow-tinged, middling yell
low-stained, strict middling and mid
ding blue-stained"
There are 20 government standard
grades, thus only seven have been
eliminated, leaving thirteen tendera-

In addition to the optimistic feeling
in general over the passage of the new
law, sentiment turned decidedly to-
wards higher prices as the result of
continued rains over the belt further
retarding new crop preparations. The
late start is beginning to have a ma
terial effevt on the market, and should
the start be delayed much longer no
doubt it will find great expression in
the course Of prices.
Continued steadfastness on the part
Of spot holders throughout the belt
also favored the market. Holders are
standing pat, although some of the
rampant bears and spot frms-with
mill connections - are circulating
propaganda that the South is about to

writer warns every holder of spot cot
ton to absolutely ignore such stuff as
it is absolutely false and only being
put out as a starter to brighten some
one into selling which. in the event
such should happen, might be follow
ed by others. And that would be the
end of the holding movement.
Don't WEAKEN! The rise has not
yet started yeti mean the real rise.
That will come little later when the
spnners' and gamblers realize fully
that the South has as much sense as
any other section of the country and
meant business when it said it would
cut the acreage SO 1-3 per cent.
The feeling daily is becoming more
general that the embargo on cotton
will be lifted sooner than believed a
few days ago-following President
Wilson's declaration that he would not
remove it. Remember. the biggest
things always happen without mo-
ment's notice, and that's just the way
this embargo Is going to be torn

new CONTRACT
LAW SLOWS UP
COTTON TRADING
BY Victor Barron
market Correspondent of The
Times Recorder

llluGS-IN6COIuSlJ
ATLANTA, March 8.-Comparaa've-
" little excitement attended the first
few days of trading under the new
style cotton contract, which went into
effect Wednesday. There naturally
WIS some confusion and nervousness,
but this seemed about terminated as
the week closed and the trade in gen
eral appeared to have fully adapted it,
self to the situation.
The greater part of the short-week
session-four daYs-was attributed to
transferring accounts from old to new
style contracts. AS business was re-
sumed Thursday new style options
commanded big premium over old
contracts, but each day witnessed these
differences becoming less. For in
stance at the beginning of business
Thursday May, New York, commanded
premium of $50 points over May, old,
but at the close of business Friday the
new contract stood only 72 points
above the old contract.
The Smith-Lever amendment, pass
ed in the closing hours of congress
Tuesday, provided that all new trad
ings must be in new style contracts and
that only liquidation of standing COM
mitments would be permitted in old
contracts. Mr.. Brand stated that liqui-
dation Of bona fide character of old
contract interests would be allowed,
but no new trading in old contracts
a disposition on the part of many hold
iLG old contracts to liquidate and get
into the new style options, but on sec
ond thought it was decided that there
was a good chance of holding on and
transferring into new contracts with
out having to pay the fancy premium
However, the trade was given a sur
prise Friday by a communication from
the Department of Markets at Wash
ington, stating that all old contracts
made prior to March would have to
be liquidated by May /, and that all
old contracts not liauidated by that
date and still in existence could not be
liquidated through purchase or sale by
the usual operation of the future mar
ket, but only by the actual receipt or
delivery of the cotton.
Some contended that the Bureau of
Markets is without authority to make
such ruling, in that Mr.. Brand, in a
circular had stated that bona fide Ii
quotation of outstanding contracts
would be permitted, so long as no new
trades in old style contracts are orig
mated.
The new law is looked upon in con-
sentative circles as very beneficial in
that it will serve to bring futures and
spots closer together and furnish mills
an opportunity to secure better cotton
on contract. In some quarters the
opinion is expressed that the new law
is the greatest piece of legislation ever
enacted for the good of the cotton ex-
changes and the cotton trade general

It was one of the ships of the Spanish Armada which was sunk in 15S8. The sand is being removed by a pressure hose, and muskets, daggers, swords, and axes have already been found. There is an old tradition in the neigh borhood that a ship containing large quantities of gold was sunk in the bay.

 MT. H. A.

This campaign is being handled alsng similar lines in the Northwest ern, Pocahontas, Eastern, Allegheny Southern and Southwestern regions.
 There will be 187 railroads, em- ploying nearly two million men and operating approximately 231 ,000 miles of track, competing for first place in this drIve. It develops that the roads in this region (the Central Western) have, in the aggregate, approximately 325 ,00C employees and 55,0O0 miles of track, and that each employe is going to be asked to individually do his ut most during a period of fourteen days to keep from being injured himself, or teing the cause of injuring any otty- CTS.
