corn haphazard, finding customers
wherever they can.
"The Atlanta Commercial exchange
embraces corn and grain. 1t has de-
cided to undertake the creation of
adequate facilities for marketing corn
on a great commercial scale. I'm
der the Capper-Tincher bill passed
recently by congress, the secretary
Of Agriculture in Washington Is au-
thorized to designate contract mar
kets for grain where exchanges or
boards of trade are in existence, and
where grain is solo. III sufficient VOL
ume to reflect the market. We are
now in touch with Secretary Wallace
in Washington, and with our state
department of agriculture in Atlanta,
for the purpose Of having grain
contract market created here under
the Capper-Tincher act.
1--WE hope to be able in a COM
paratively short time to give the re-
lief so sorely needed. Our farmers
were asked to diversity and produce
food. They responded to that ap-
peal, and now they are asking mar
ket. for their surplus. 1t is the duty
OF commerce ana finance TO come to
their aid.
Our Logical Market
'The North Atlantic states are the
logical market for Georgia corn,
which is superior in many respects
to western corn. In fair competition,
where freight rates are on a parity,
Georgia corn can beat western corn.
1t is better for export because dryer.
ga contract market for corn in At
lanta will enable Georgia farmers to
list their corn here for sale They
can list it with brokers or directly
place orders here for the farmers to
fill.
"As to the grain elevator. This
involves, first, the PRONUNCIATION of
what are known as storage in tran
sit freight rates, whereby corn can
be shipped here in the shuck, un-
loaded here and shucked, shelled,
graded and stored, and then shipped
| on to destination with a through
rate. We believe it will be compar-
atively easy to get these rates as
soon as we show the probability of
a large corn movement. Then we
can get the capital, we believe, to
| build a grain elevator.
| storage of corn below Macon is
not feasible on account of the weevil.
A large percentage of the corn stored
in soutA Georgia is destroyed every
year byENeevil.
when we get a great grain eleva-
tor here, the whole marketing prob
lem of the farmer will be solved. He
can ship his corn here in the shuck,
! have it shucked and shelled and
| graded, put in storage, and take his
elevator receipt to his bank. His
corn will then be almost as liquid as
cotton. He can produce corn in any
quantity w;thout the hazard of stor-
age and uncertain marketing condi-
tons.
But pending the construction of
the elevator, which we hope to have
within another year, we hope to get
a large volume of corn moving as
soon as we get a contract market
| established here"

After the dip, New York displayed
stronger tone in face of the weak

the census bureau report on crop con-
ditions, which was considered necid-
edly bullish. October gained 20

cember recovered 16 points from the
low, January II points, March II

practically stationary at 1880.
October still was SO per bale above
the low of Tuesday and So per bale
above the previous low of 18 cents.

worse today than a month ago.
The market continued to sag around

BANK COTTON LOAN PLAN
MEETS WITH MUCH FAVOR

JULIETTE, Ga, Sept. 15.-Consid-
cradle interest has been manifested
locally and favorable comment made
on the plan of certain big banfs
made public several days ago to adj
vance to its customers and through
it's correspondent banks throughout
the state seventy-five per cent of
the current market value of cotton.
1t is regarded as certain that loans
under this plan on approximately
one-seventh of the cotton produced
in Georgia during the present sea-
son will assist the farmers material
ly in an orderly marketing of the
crop and will serve to stabilize and
hold up the prices now prevailing.
Access to such advances will no
doubt stimulate all lines of business
and be of considerable aid to banks

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. l6.-Llqulda-

ing kept the market at the decline through
out the session, with only moderate ana
short lived recoveries, and finally closed 1t
at the lowest of the day at losses of 64 to
Al points, October closing at 1874 and
March 1885.
According to New York messages, promi-
nent Wall street interests sold out I'M
portant lines of long contracts and some
brokers claimed that effort was being
made to get the market in good technical
shape for bureau day, which is two weeks
from next Monday. On that day at O'Clock
the census bureau will issue its second
report of the season on ginning, carrying
the crop down to the 25th of September,
while at 10 O'Clock it will issue its final
condition report of the season, carrying
the crop down to the same date thus max
ing the day full of important events. 1t is
not going too far to say that the next con-
dition report will be the most important,
as well as the most bullish ever issued
Because of the evening up already ac-

ehases may be profitably placed on any
further fecessions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16-While moderately
active the cotton market was quiet as COM
pared with its recent extreme activity, with
prices showing a tendency to work lower
during today's early trading. The earlier
cables from Liverpool were better than due
but prices there Sagged off just before the
local opening and the market here started
steady at decline of 10 to 80 points. There
was some southern and Liverpool selling as
well as scattered realizing, but the Nfer-
ings were pretty well taken right after the
traders who had taken profits on long con-
tracts earlier in the week also was re-
ported and the early fluctuations were lrreg-
ular with December working up from 10. 10
TO 10. So, while January fluCtuated between
49, 10 and 80, compared with 10. 40 at
the close yesterday. The weather map was
considered favorably, but bullish spot ad-
vices from the southwest helped to sustain
the early market.
Rallies on bullish spot advices and rumors
Of low condition figures failed to attract
any important buying and prices weakened
later under increased liquidation and local
pressure A good deal of the selling was
in small lots, probably representing commits
sion house accounts, but there was not much
support and the break carried December
off to 1904 while January sold at 1887 or
