COTTON AND CORN SHOWING STRONG F. w. Gist's Survey of Alabama Crops Indicate Frost Did
 Small Damage

Montgomery, April 24.-( Disqualification and corn have received an excellent start in Alabama, according to the summary Of crop conditions in Alabama issued today by F. w. Gist, agricultural statistician.
 Little fertilizer is being used and farm CTS are practicing no extravaganza in the planting and cultivation of this crop and MT. Gist said this policy of the farmers is certain to show a better finan- cial condition next fall. Sales of ferti- lizer tags have picked up during April, but it was estimated that the total this year will be at least 50 per cent be- low the total of last season when farm CTS were expecting 40 cents for their cotton. Reports indicate a general cut ting down in the cotton acreage, though a few reports indicate that some farmers belief that all their neighbors have re- duced their crop.
 ColdS weather was reported during the past few days, but MT. Gist said the crops were not large enough to cause any serious damage. Corn may suffer from cut worms unless warm weather comes soon. Minor crops have been planted to the full acreage and much attention IS beina given to the planting of sweet po- tatoes as a result of the erection of cur ing houses Some attention is being paid to syrup also, farmers believing the yield will produce money even though the price be far below that of last season.
 Hogs continue to be placed on the mar ket but MT. Gist said there was notice able absence of sows and pigs. which in- dicates a good supply of stock aogs dur ing the fall.

So when a man wanted fire in his store all that was necessary was to pur- chase trained cat and leave it in his store with a lighted lamp. The owner could go hom and sleep soundly--assured that while he slept the cat would knock over the lamp and his store would be destroyed'

COTTON MARKET IS CONFINED ID
 NARROW LIMITS
Range FroM Highest to Lowest Was 40 to 65 Points During Last Week-0verSeas
 Reports Favorable
By Associated Press

New Orleans, April 24.-Prices moved within narrow limits in the cotton mar ket last week because of the conflicting nature of the main trading features. The range from the highest to the low est was 40 to 65 points, May trading as high as 11.9Sc, and as low as 11.3Sc finally colsing at 11.94c.
 At the highest the trading months were unchanged to Il points up, com pared with the close or the preceding week, while at the lowest they were 20 to 61 points down. In the spot depart ment, middling lost IS points in the net results, closing at 11,25c, against Ale a year ago.
 There was much liquidation in the early sessions of the week. both in the contract and in the spot departments, but in the later sessions buying came in, the spot market reporting much better demand with important interests I apparently buying against commit Axnents, which was taken to mean that Whey, at least, thought the market was
 t bottom.
 WEATHER HOLSTERS
 \ The highly unfavorable weather con Jditions of the week were a supporting finfluence of importance and toward the flose buying movement developed, following the dispatches from England 3tating that the coal strike conference had come so near to arriving at an un- Aerstandng that there were prospects of a settlement of the trouble during the week to come. Manchester reports were again favorable, indicating that Lancashire mills were in position to do a large business in manufactured cotton should the coal strike be called off.
 In,-this country, the withdrawal of Asff ginghams from the market and the Export that some of the largest mill A0ncerns were completely sold up on fso1ne lines excited much favorable com ment. On the other side of the bal A'nce were the general trade reviews showing little chanrge in retail condi- tions and the cable messages from Ger many to the effect that German spin ners were well supplied with cotton.
 This week the trade will be bound to pay much attention to the English la- bor situation. events concerning which may have much to do with the course of the market. It is generally consid- cred that the settlement of the coal strike would be about as strong buy ing influence as could happen at this time
 SPOT DEMAND
 Aside from this, the main thing will be the spot demand in the interior and the weather over the belt. Further buying of spots would attract much notice. At the end of this last week most map observers thought the barom- eter lines spoke for stormy weather for the belt, to be followed by colder weather, since there was a marked storm area in the northwest. with cold wave back of 1t on the Pacific coast.
