MARKET RUNS
true TO FORM
Although Reaction This
: Week Amounts to
Almost Nothing.
~ BRoADAN WALL.

New York. May 27.-The stock
market was true to professional
form today for 1t was Tuesday and
there was q reaction. In spite of
the reactionary movement new high
records were made in a large num-
Der OF issues. In the late trading
prices started up again and the close
was hrm. Considering the remark
able advance of the last few days.
the reaction was almost nothing.
It did not discourage traders and
the public holds on to stocks as
firmly as ever.
The fact that Wall Street loans
have passed the billion dollar mark
must be considered in the light of
initiation and not in the light of pre-
war conditions. There is so much
more currency and credit in circu-
lation now than there was when
loans were a billion dollars in the
previous market. that the matter is
not one to get excited over. The
market Is SO broad and purchasers
are so well margined and SO much
new money is coming into it every
day that 1t will take a disaster OF
the first magniture to check the ad-
vance anywhere in the near future.
OF course, In time. it will run into
q beautiful panic and that panic
will be as much larger and as much
more tumultuous than previous ones
as the trading is larger. But at
the. moment there Is no cause for
alarm. The crack will probably
come without the slightest warning.
II Thursday night can be reached
without trouble next Monday should
see the greatest day of trading in
the history of the stock exchange.
Food stocks were all strong, par
ticularly U. s. Food Products. Corn
Products. National Biscuit and Cali
fornia Packing.
Tobacco Products established a new
high record on rumors of rights" soon
to be given to stockholders in connec-
ton with the American Foreign Trad
ing Corporation, which has just been
organized to develop business in the
Orient. This new concern is a sub
sidiary OF Tobacco Products, and Is
the first company OF its kind to be
formed by American capitalists. 1t
opens a new field of enterprise that
promises to be extremely profitable
United States Rubber was put to
the new high record price OF 10. The
buying OF Rubber by Dupont inter
ests is said to be responsible for this.
1t was also discovered yesterday that
two of the well-known plungers Of
Wall Street have been accommodating
Rubber on a large scale.
Southern Pacific broke away from
restraining influences and. with an
advance OF 3a points, went into new
high territory with a suddenness that
led the street to believe the oil case
had been decided.

PlTHY LETTER FROM
CHAIRMAN WANNAHAKER

Columbia, Feb. 24.-Plant less cot
ton this year. This is not new appeal
to the cotton farmers, but never was
the need so imperative or the signifi-
canoe so great. There have been
several meetings in Columbia, attend
ed by farmers from every county in
the State, and at the last convention,
on February 18th, the sentiment for
reducing the acreage by one-third Of
last years crop was unanimous.
A State central committee has been
named, with J. Skottowe Wannamaker
of st. Matthews, a farmer of large
interests, as chairman. This commit
tee has mapped out definite plan of
action which centers around having
one particular day on which the farm
ers are urged to assemble and to sign
pledges that they will not plant more
than two-thirds Of last years crop.
Governor Cooper has issued procla-
nation in which he sets forth that
the acreage must be reduced, and he
has named Feruary 28th as "Pledge
Reduction Day." The details of the
meetings are left with the county
committees, the nucleus of which was
appointed the State Central council
in order that there might some one
to call the meetings and start the
organizations in the several counties.
Already reports are coming in that

counties are taking up the matter en-
Enthusiastically and that there will be
solid array Of farmers against the
forces in the manufacturing centers
that are trying to establish the price
Of cotton for all future crops. The
cotton farmer is the only man in the
world who has not the opportunity
to establish his own prices. The time
has come when the farmer must stick
to his guns.
"The Battle Cry of the South" says
Mr.. Wannamaker is "Commercial
Freedom" Thirty-five cents per pound
for basis middling for 1918 cotton
Thirty-three and one third per cent
reduction in acreage. Fifty per cent
reduction in commercial fertilizers
for 1913. The stakes are great. Sue
cess is certain. Success means a new
commercial South with commercial
freedom and marvellous changes in
every phase of commercial life of the
South"
Small crops mean more money.
That is matter of record, incontro-
vertible. Don't put all your eggs in
one basket, is the advice of the
thoughtful men who are studying the
dangers to the South.
