PEANUT TARIFF
TO STAY-CRISP
Congressman Writes That Re.
ports Sperad To Force Prices
Down Are False

Informed that an effort was being
made to force down the price Of pea
nuts in the South by reports that the
emergency tariff is about to expire
and will net be renewed, and that
the country will soon be flooded with
Oriental peanuts and oil, Congress
man Chas. R. Crisp, of Americus,
who is member of the house ways
and means committee which frames
all tariff legislation, has written here
that there is nothing to this report.
He states that while he emergency
arlff expires Nov. II, the house has
already voted to extend it to Feb. ]
and that there is every reason to be-
lieve that the senate will concur. BY
that time it is hoped to have the
permanent tariff act in force,
Judge Crisp states in his letter that
the emergency tariff act provides
tariff of 3 cents a pound on pea
nuts, rs cents a gallon on peanut
oil and 20 cents a gallon other oils.
The permanent tariff bills as fran
ed for passage, provides a tariff of
cents pound on sheIled peanuts,
and 15 cents a gallon on oils.
Buyers have been Offering only
$50N per ton in this vicinity during
the last few days, and are reported
to have met with little success in
getting npanutS One local oil mill
man is quoted as saying that the
peanut crushers were deliberately
bearing the peanut market at this
time to induce the farmers to hold,
claiming that they were unable to
crush and care for the peanuts as
fast as they were being offered for
sale.

TOOFEW HOME
BOXES FOR MAIL
Postmaster Asks Patrons To Aid
Services-Wants All Houses
Numbered

In conjunction with a nationwide
campaign, movement has been in
augurated in Americus by Postmaster
Davenport to secure the numbering
of all residents in the city not now
bearing street numbers, and the plac-
ing of convenient mail boxes for the
city carriers on all residences. There
are comparatively few unnumbered
houses, according to census taken
by the carriers here, but the number
of missing mail boxes is very large.
Accordingly, the postmaster is dis
tributing to all patrons of the posi-
office the following communication;
please cooperate with our gov
ernment by having your house num-
bered with the correct street number,
and having put up conveniently, near
the front door, receptacle to hold
your mail-or have a slot made in
your door to take care of your mail,
for the following reasons:
House numbers enable carriers to
locate promptly buildings to which
mail is addressed and avoid errors
and delays in delivery.
'Mail receptacles insure the prompt
and safe delivery of mail in the alb
sence of occupants, Avoid delay of
mail through return to office because
of absence of occupants or delay in
answering carriers ring. Obvioate
the necessity of patrons responding
to the bell at inconvenient moments.
Expedite the services geerally, and
permit more prompt deliveries, espe-
cially to patrons residing near the
end of route. The practice of plac-
ing mail in yestibules, under doors,
on window sills, etc, where it is ex-
posed to theft ne elements and TO
children, is HI rdous and frequently
results in til 6ss of highly valuable
or importa mail"

MARKET RISES ON
GOVERNMENT REPORT

The bearish influences of the Ma
tional Ginners' report, which knock
ed the bottom out Of the cotton mar
ket last week, having been wiped out
by the government ginning report,
the market reversed its recent his
TRY at today's session and at noon
had shown an advance of about
three-quarters of a cent a pound for
futures. The spot market, which
had been inactive during the slump,
showed a similad advance. -
The government figures were an
nounced just before the opening cf
the New York exchange. A rise of
20 points was recorded at the open
ing, and the next fifteen minutes
showed another advance of half
cent, as result of active buying.
December delivery closed Monday at
1895. 1t was quoted at 1875 at to-
days opening, and at IL o'clork had
rcashed 1888. The market then
eased off few points for the next
couple of hours.
Last week the National Gniners
association pladed ginning to Ort. Is
at 100000 bales and stated these
ginnings represented "a per dent of
the entire drop" This would have
indirvated a yield of 100000 bales,
or a million bales more than the gov
ernment report indicated.
This private report fell like q
bomb in the cotton market as tha
100000 bales figure followed circh-
lation of reports that the figures were
5,350,O00 bales.
The National Ginners' report and
the rumor that preceded it has
arouse da storm Of protest among the
traders on the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange, it is said. Several of the
most conservative takers, it is said,
have expressed the belief that Mr.
Taylor, of the National Ginners, has
been guilty Of permitting the pur-
poreful manipulation of the cotton
market by allowing erroneous ru-
mors as to his report to get into cir
culation.
According to advices from New
Orleans, w. B. Thompson, chairman
of the Louisiana division of the
American Cotton association, says
the National Ginner8 and their re-
ports will be the subject of active dis
cussion at the associations conven.
ton in Birmingham this week.
