V/ALL STREET UNCONCERNED
ABOUT SENSATIONAL RUMORS
Stolidly Indifferent to Crop Scares, Internation
al Complications and Politics.
By W. G. NICHOLAS.
\-pw York, Aug. 13.—While having
appearance of great strength and
g. idity, the general stock market
s not actually advance. The dust
r seil by the upward manipulation of
tr .ctlons and some of the other spe
cialties has created the Impression
■that the whole list has moved up. but
guch is not the case. The leading
trail road stocks are lower than they
•were three weeks ago, although tre
mendous efforts have 'been made by
■cliques to enlist public support and
ihroaden the demand.
The business situation is unmistak
ably healthy and favorable to bullish
influences, yet the impression com
monly prevails in many quarters that
I tthe rise in prices from the low ebb
of three months ago is about all that
should be expected at this time. It
cs a long step for the good, and a rest
33 seemingly in order. Still the mar
ket shows surprising Indifference to
| ovil reports and has heard with seren
; lty and entire absence of panic sen
sational crop scare reports with all
the ominous prophecies which usually
accompany calamitous enterprise.
International complications do not
count for much, as stock market fac
tors and national politics can be con
sidered only as a background senti
ment at this time. The break in the
(billot pool which threatens the stabil
ity of the iron market was and is a
tweakener, as it breeds distrust in the
entire industrial field.
| Call Money a Drug.
Against the array of unfavorable
symptoms and flurries stands out the
fact that call money is a drug on the
market at 1 per cent, and that bor
rowers of time funds have no trouble
in making six months’ arrangements
on the basis of 3 per cent., or of bor
rowing to March 1 of next year at a
r,u> per cent. rate. Instead of wor
rying over the necessity for money to
move the crops next autumn, banks
(hail with delight the prospect of a
demand for 'that account, as it will
rplease large accumulations of capital
' now hopelessly idle. The associated
banks of New York ‘have a surplus
over legal requirements of approxi
mately $60,000,000. The trust com
panies are also staggering under a
I burden of too much money. Commer-
I vial reports indicate a fairly satisfac
tory condition throughout the West
I end South, with indications pointing
I ito a substantial demand for all kinds
lof merchandise. There is no likelihood
I of extravagant purchases by the mer-
I oantile classes, but consumers every-
I where appear again to be in the field
j us buyers.
| llailroads Fixing tip.
Railroads have availed themselves of
slack times to put their equipment in
| good shape and in this respect they are
I better off than at any time during the
I last five years. Cars and locomotives
[ require a rest as well as human beings
and the very moderate reduction in the
total volume of traffic during the last
yean has been a restorative, so to
speak. The. large outlays for improved
terminals, heavier rails, heavier cars
and heavier locomotives is beginning
to bear fruit in net results, as shown
I by the weekly and monthly financial
I statements of the railroads. The bus-
I iness handled, while under previous
records, shows the enforcement of
! economies in operating departments.
There are no signs of extravagance
anywhere, but a generally healthy and
wholesome condition in the transpor
tation field.
Wall street refuses to believe that
there has been serious crop damage
affecting large areas. Reports from the
Northwest of the destruction of an im
mense acreage of spring wheat by rust
are held to be gross exaggerations in
spired by bull cliques on the Chicago
Board of Trade and a contingent in the
stock market supposedly caught short
of the securities of Northwestern rail
roads.
A Minnesota Crop Killer.
The most industrious “crop killer" of
the year is a Minnesota expert who
figured some years ago as the author
of a famous “Hold Your Wheat” cir
cular, ha.ving its origin in the fertile
imagination of the late George 11.
i’lllsbury. The circular in question
was put out under the auspices of the
Farmers’ Alliance and its object was
to induce farmers to hold their wheat
(or $1 a bushel. They held back sup
: P ll ®* l°ng enough to enable Pillsbury
" n< * h' s associates to unload specula
tive holdings of many million bushels
nd sell short huge lines. In other
words the device gave the grain gam
blers a chance to sell their own and the
■irmers’ wheat and reap great profits
‘V the operation while the farmers
themselves were forced to let go on a
declining market at very much lower
tEures. The enterprising “crop kill

they have availed themselves of the

yarns of paralyzing ruin to spring
wheat. They have heard it every
year, and yet they have noticed that
when the grain begins to move it in
evitably taxes the resources of the
carrying roads far into the winter,
and following spring, coming in end
less quantities from everywhere and
usually of good quality. It may be
thp skeptics are wrong in their posi
tion this year, but they will aVait
more tangible evidence before shift
ing.
i Experience has taught the lesson
that farmers are poor speculators in
their own products. Failure and loss
has almost invariably attended ef
forts in the w*ay of combinations among
them to hold their crops for favorable
markets at some indefinite time in the
future. There is no way of enforcing
agreements of that magnitude. “Gen
tlemen’s agreements” among farmers
are of no more binding value than
among bankers 'and financiers and
stock gamblers in Wall street.
A "Hold Y our Cotton" Movement.
Undeterred, however, by records of
the past a movement is now under way
to secure the co-operation of the cot
ton planters in the South to hold back
supplies for higher prices. The plan
originated with Mr. Daniel J. Sully,
who has apparently transferred his
scheme to the management of Joseph
H. Hoadley, a promoter and capitalist
■of considerable note in Wall street.
Hoadley has a ginning process,
which he is working in connection with
a * ‘hbld your cotton” Campaign, and
out of the two expeots to gain a few
carloads of money for himself and the
subscribers to his *20,000,000 project.
Mr. Sully himself has withdrawn from
active participation in the scheme,
on account of prejudice he thinks
would attach to it by reason of his
piesent prominence in the bankrupt
courts. The Sully creditors seem bent
on wasting as much of his assets as
they can and have involved
in entangling and complicated litiga
tions which may last for years. Mean
t‘m.e ’ Sully Is trying to rehabili
tate himself with a fair chance of suc
cess. He has innumerable friends
throughout the South who recognize
the fact that the cotton belt owes him
a debt of gratitude. His manipula
tions and bullish campaigns in cotton
were probably worth *50,000,000 to *75,-
000,000 to the Southern States. There
is severe individual criticism of the
man and his methods by those who
lost money by re’ason of their con
nection with him, but he has hosts of
friends south of the Ohio.
Effect of Parker's I.etter.
In the financial district great inter
est was felt in the Parker letter of
■acceptance. The business community
awaits the utterance with more than
mere idle curiosity. It was felt to
he quite as important in Its way as
the formal platform of the party
adopted at St. Louis. Discussion of the
document is likely to continue for some
time to come, and its contents are be
ing carefully weighed by those who see
close relationship 'between national
■politics and business.
The movement of money from the
interior is falling off rapidly and the
flow of. funds the other way will soon
begin. The lirst demands for funds
with which to move the crops will
probably be made upon home institu
tions and met cheerfully. Accounts
agree that Western and Southern
banks are in fine shape, although they
are not likely to feel the necessity of
depleting their reserves to any extent.
They can get money cheap in New
York and employ it profitably, and will
no doubt do so this year as hereto
fore.
The cliques and combinations be
hind the Harriman stocks are appar
ently disappointed in not being able to
mark up the price of their goods
higher. They have shown a disposi
tion to distribute stocks at the im
proved quotations, but every effort to
•do so so induces competition. The pro
fessional element is generally of the
opinion that the Hardman boom has
■been overplayed, and they are conse
quently bearish on the Harriman spe
cialties. notably Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific.
Big Gold Exports.
Impending exports of gold will hard
ly assume formidable proportions. It
is too near the time for the normal
movement to the in the direction of im
ports, instead of an outflow. Europe
is now heavily indebted to the United
States on the international balance
sheet, and the extent of the obliga
tion will Increase rather than dimin
ish. American stocks and bonds placed
abroad during the last few months are
not being resold. They passed into the
hands of investors in Great Britain
and on the continent and there they
stay. Foreign speculative holdings of
our securities are small.
Painful efforts are making to mini
mize reports of serious disturbance in
the iron trade. Iron and steel special
ists are going about making public
announcement that there is nothing
seriously or fundamentally the matter
with the iron business, and that fears
need not he entertained of demoraliza

and denials and demurrers have about
as bad an effect as announcements of
actual cuts. The verdict Is that where

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. AUGUST 14. 1904.
New York Society Girl Who Has Joined the United
States Life Saving Service.
New York, Aug. 13.—Well known in New York society, accomplished,
wealthy, pretty and a graduate of an exclusive seminary, Miss Norma
Hamilton enjoys the added distinct! on of being the first woman regularly
enrolled in the Volunteer Life Saving Service of the United States. She
has been assigned to the station at Long Beach, L. I.
Miss Hamilton is 19 years old, stands five feet four and weighs 110
pounds.
Miss Hamilton's daring in battling the waves has attracted attention
at Nttrragansett Pier and other seashore resorts where she has been with
her parents. Recently she was invited to join the life saving corps, and
with the consent of her mother took the examination and obtained a
rating of 100 per cent, in deep sea diving, swimming against the breakers
and taking out the catamaran without help.
When asked where she had learned to swim, she replied: “In the
Rangeley lakes, Maine, in chasing fr ogs when I was a wee girl.”
Few Tammany Men Ever Cut
Thick Ice in National Politics
Ambitions of Delaney Nicoll, Vice Chairman of
Democratic National Committee.
New York, Aug. 13.—Delaney Nicoll,
who has been made vice chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, is
a great devotee of the noble game of
golf. He plays somewhere out on Long
Island, where his summer home is lo
cated, and he has played so long and
so earnestly that his scores are very
good indeed.
Mr. Nicoll is not one of those who
believe it necessary to put on a red
coat or any other fancy garments in
order to play golf. On the contrary,
he always dons his oldest togs when
going on the links. Probably he wears
the old clothes that he may be com
fortable and unobtrusive, but, really,
they are. so very old and sometimes
dilapidated that they make him the
most noticeable player on the grounds.
0
Mr. Nicoll has long been a prominent
figure in New York, but he has never
before been much mixed up in national
politics. He began to pull himself up
toward the front locally when “Jake”
Sharp and the so-called Boodle Aider
men were tangled up in the Broadway
street car franchise matter some years
ago.
He was then an anti-Tammany Dep
uty District Attorney, but his prestige
waxed so strong because of his success
in the Boodle prosecutions that Tam
many took him up and made him dis
trict attorney. While serving the peo
ple in that capacity he signalized him
self by several exceedingly brilliant
murder prosecutions. The famous Car
lyle Harris case was one of those which
added vastly to his reputation.
Ten or eleven years ago, however,
Mr. Nicoll, who has some social stand
ing, began to “shy” at Tammany. He
was always a strong Cleveland man,
and that made Tammany shy at him.
He was a friend of Bourke Cockran
when that brilliant, if erratic, creature
■was under the ban with Richard Cro
ker, despite the fact that earlier in
Nico H's career Cockran had character
ized Nicoll with greater picturesque
ness than compliment.
It was an open secret In the days
of Mr. Nicoll's local prominence th'at
he was ambitious to become a figure
in national affairs. Indeed it was
said, when he shook the dust of Tam
many from his feet, and became inti- ,
WASHINGTON'S SOCIAL SET AT THE
SEASHORE AND IN THE MOUNTAINS
Official Society at a Standstill Until the Autumn
Season Begins.
Washington, Au(f. 13.—Mrs. Roose
velt Is back again at her Oyster Bay
home, having met her boys in New
York on their way from St. Louis.
Every afternoon of her short stay
here eh* and the President had
friends to tea on the rear portico, and
later in the day there was always one
or more of their intimates as dinner
guests. The President and Mrs.
Roosevelt took their customary horse
back ride nearly every morning, play
ed tennis on the new courts to the
south of the mansion in the cool of
the evening, and generally did pretty
much/ as fancy dictated/, untram
meled by rules of official etiquette. A
number of times Mrs. Roosevelt went
down town shopping in the most un
pretentious and democratic way. She
drove about in a "phaeton-top sur
rey,” usually dressed In a dark blue
foulard shirt-waist suit, with a
"round" hat, simple and comfortable..-
It is safe to say that she will have
a good deal to listen to in the quiet
of her Oyster Bay home anent the
wonders of the big fair, for Theodore
Jr., and Kermlt are as ''strenuous'*
talkers as their father on things that
interest them.
The President entertained at dinner
in the White House the evening after
Mrs. Roosevelt's departure. His
guests included the Secretary of State,
who has Just returned to his duties
here; Secretary Taft, Secretary Mor
ton. Commissioner Cooley of the Civil
Service Corn mission, und Mr. Silas
Me Bee of the New York "Churchman."
According to present plans President
lloosevelt will remain hern until Aug
20, When he will Join his family at
Sagamore Hill. Sept. 20, the entire
family will return to the White House
for th# winter. Th. President will
not Utah again leave Washington until
election day, when ha will go turns
mate with Grover Cleveland 'and
Bourke Cockran, that this ambition
was responsible for his change of
affiliation. Tammany had made him a
district attorney, but none knew bet
ter th'an he that while Tammany can
give a man about everything he can
crave in the way of local political pre
ferments, it can do little else. Thus,
though Tammany has indorsed every
successful Democratic candidate for
Governor of this state for more than
thirty years, Tammany itself, the
strongest Democratic organization in
the country as to numbers, has not
furnished a successful candidate for
Governor in many decades. Both Hill
and Flower, the fast two Democratic
Governors, were indorsed by Tam
many, but Hill was from Elmira and
Flower from Watertown, and so
neither was himself a Tammany man.
The only possible way, judging
from the past, that ft Tammany man
can reach more than local prominence
in politics is to run for Congress or
the Legislature. Nomination is equiva
lent to election in such cases, gen
ei'ally, but the triumph is purely a
local one, and it has been a long time
since a Tammany Congressman has
achieved eminence in Washington.
Bourke Cockran began when a. con
gressman, but he was practically re
called by Tammany before he had
really made his point.
For an 'anti-Tammany New York
Democrat to achieve election to any
national office would be manifestly
impossible, and that is the explana
tion of the circumstances, which some
times puzzles, .that New York city
Democrats have not been “cutting ice”
jin naXionYU affairs for many years
except when appointed to high places
by the President, as Whitney and
Lamont wmc made cabinet ministers
by Mr. Cleveland.
It is not so with New York city
Republicans. Morton And Roosevelt,
both recent Governors, were both
New Yorkers, and both sitting Sen
ators. Platt and Depew are also
credited to this city, though of these
four only one—Roosevelt—was born
here. No native of New York city,

to vote—of course for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks.
Miss Alice's Gay Summer.
If Miss Alice Roosevelt is able to
keep all the engagements made for her
through the social correspondents of
various summer resorts, things will
have to be moving lively until snow
falls, and then she will be obliged to
keep some of the engagements over
until next summer. Just at present
she Is staying with Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter Damrosch, the latter a daughter of
the late James O. Blaine, in the cele
brated Blaine cottage at Bar Harbor.
At that favorite resort the Swimming
Club Is the gathering place for all the
fashionable people every morning, and
last week Miss Alice was the center
of attraction at the pool.
Hardly second In public notice was
the vivacious young Countess Cassini,
Miss Alice's constant chum In Wash

Among the most notable entertain

and able to converse In several mod
