FACT « GOSSIP
IN BUSINESS
WORLD
By B. C. FORBES.
HEW YORK. May 3.—The head of an
Important stock exchange firm said to me
the other day in answer to a suggestion
that he should do a certain thing:
•T would gladly do it. but it might
be construed as an act of antagonism
toward the money power.”
■'l thought you were dependent upon no
one: that you ran your business on your
own capital?" I replied.
•'That's true We have money
enough to carry on our affairs, but
occasionally when we are carrying
large amounts of stocks for customers
we find it convenient to borrow tem
porarily. But even were this not so
1 could not afford to do anything
against the powers that be. You
ought to know that.”
"So there is a money power?" T
queried.
He looked at me quizzically.
"You did not come down to the
street for Ute first time yesterday.
Therefore I need not reply to that
question.”
"Kind of humiliating position for a man
0f your standing to be in,” I ventured
"But what can you do about it?” he
asked
Then he changed the subject.
Some time ago an article appeared in
this column on the text that there is not
a monev trust, but that there is a. money
power A publisher of works on finance
a week or two later was discussing the
contents of this column front day to day.
-Of course, I took it for granted that
what you wrote about there being a
monev power was inspired.” he said.
"Inspired?” I asked, puzzled. 'By
whom?" "Oh, by your people,' he re
plied This was the very first innuendo
I had ever heard that anything appearing
in this column was "inspired.” The as
persion was rather humiliating, especially
as it came from a responsible source. 1
had Imagined that these simple comments
on economic matters were at least
.straightforward, that they rang true, that
i”hev breathed sincerely and that the?
bore no earmarks of having been ma
chine-made, out to order and according
to samples supplied. * <
best some others harbor similar ideas,
mav I be allowed here and now to pay
"vour people" the compliment of an as
surance that never in even-the remotest,
the most roundabout or any other wav
have they sought to influence by one
hair's breadth a. single word here writ
ten. Common justice demands such a
tribute. It Is a tribute that could not
with equal honesty be paid by writers on
everv paper in New York city. XS hen.
however, such tolerance, such broadmind
edness is shown. Iszit not rather galling
to have sinister motives imputed to one's
employers?
• • •
When, therefore, the view is here ex
pressed that there is a money power it
means that such a view is conscientious
ly believed to be founded on fact. The
interview reproduced in the first para
graph is not drawn from imagination.
Nor were the statements made by an
avowed enemy of the money power. They
are statements such as any banker or
broker of note in New York city could
make were he to speak his mind—indeed,
similar remarks are as common as cur
rency in Wall Street. Since the proposal
to investigate conditions came up quite a
number of financial people have expressed
their cordial (though secret' approval.
The yoke has become irksome. Rather,
the consciousness that an offending step
might bring disastrous reprisals is grow
ing more bitter and unbearable.
Bankers not hand-in-glove with the
money power arc yearning to be able to
call their souls their own They fondly
hope that something will be done to re
store to them that sense of sturdy manli
ness which is every man s birthright.
Their hopes, however, are tint gener
ously blended with confidence. They can
not prescribe a sure remedy. The sys
tem is SO subtle, so intangible, so word
less and wireless, so much a thing "felt"
in the atmosphere, a spirit rather than a
body, a consciousness rather than a
thing of flesh and blood. How can you
grip such an offender against free play?
There is nothing to put the finger upon,
nothing to point to and declare: Thia
is the money power. It is without form,
yet far from being void. Invisible a= the
wind, it is as powerful, on occasion as
blighting.
Merely because a thing is invisible must
its existence be denied" XA e can not see
the air we breathe
Messrs. Untermyer and Farrar are
promised the widest possible scope in con
ducting their investigation. They should
he able to unearth much of interest, al
though the airy, unwritten ways of the
money power will be hard to nail to the
counter. The revolt against financial
overlordism has not yet become open and
avowed, but circumstances may so shape
themselves that a strong lead will be
taken in throwing off the yoke. I,of Wall
Street rise up in arms, let there be con
certed action under inspiring leadership
and f « money power may fall, as all ty
rant!. fall sooner or later. At the. mo
ment deliverance is not within sight, but
the investigations may beget the neces
sary courage.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. May 3 The greatest
danger to the trad*> now seems to be
exaggerated and false weather news.
Judging from prix ate reports received yes
terday afternoon, on which the market
was worked up. the whole belt was
flooded, whereas in fart there were only
scattered showers, mostly in Mississippi,
though heavy at some points. The map
this morning shows partly clnudy 10
cloudy but no rain in western states, and 1
scattered showers In the central belt.
Indications are for partly cloudy, and
probably* scattered showers, which in the
greater part of the belt are considered
beneficial.
Liverpool barely followed the recover?’
in our market; spots 9 points higher; sales
10.000 bales
There was more general buying in our
market this morning, based on prospects
of unsettled shower? weather, and in
anticipation of bearish mill takings in
the afternoon visible statement. The
market, however, depends largel?- upon
support in New York, and as this did not
appear promptly, prices dropped 12 points
on little selling. The political situation in
this country is now also more freely men
tioned in discussions of future price pros
pect 3.
A crop inspector wires the following In
regard to the delta; "Memphis. Tenn :
Magnolia. Jackson, Grenada to Memphis
through hill section of Mississippi, farnpng
preparations very backward. Very’ littl*
cotton up. Much land not plowed. Soil in
poor condition. Grenada 10 Memphis not
more than 60 per cent plowed. As a
whole, poor start."
(tfficial rain records name only five
points in entire belt as having had a
heavy rain yesterday, and these are all in
the same limited area in the lower cen
tral belt from which we have hea.J of
heavy rains right along. The favorable
conditions prevailing in the greater por
tion of the belt ’seem to be overlooked.

that raip was falling in some sections of

changed, and the market climbed
points higher than the bottom. Os course,
bulls immediately exploited their belief
that the sharp decline had been brought

SHARP DECLINES
INS WRICES:
Steel Common and Reading,:
Most Active Issues. Show
Losses in Heavy Market.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. May 3. -Rejection of the
anthracite operators' tentztiv® peace
agreement by the men causer! heaviness
among the hard coal carrying railroads
at the opening of the stock market to
day.. Reading, the most important of the
hard coalers, opened at 176. 3 « lower
than Thursday's closing, and within a
few minutes its net loss had reached one
point. Lehigh Valley was off
Canadian Pacific showed pronounced
strength on bullish operations in London,
opening at 25«t*. a gain of m. I'nlted
States Steel common lost
The entire list was heavy. Among the
initial declines other than those men
tioned were: Amalgamated Copper
Baltimore and Ohio Atchison
I nion Pacific was weak, losing lon
vigorous selling
Southern Pacific was unchanged.
The curb was firm.
Americans in Ixmdon held steady, but
operations were sluggish.
In the lale forenoon the tone was
heavy, and the prices of May issues
showed losses of I point or more from
yesterday's close. The trading element
on the floor regarded strike developments
as a sufficient inducement for aggressive
bear operations. Steel common and
Reading were prominent in the down
ward movement. American Cotton Oil
and American Can were strong, advancing
more than each.
There was vigorous selling in the mar
ket this afternoon, the market making
sharp declines, and for the first time this
week there was evidence of speculative
liquidation on a heavy scale. Union Pa
cific was forced down 1 point to
and a loss of over 1 point was sustained
in Reading, bringing it 3 points under
Thursday’s closing. One of the most im
portant market factors was the with
drawal from the bull position of an ele
ment that has been aggressively ad
vancing prices since shortly before
March 1.
