THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS:WEDNESDAY. MAY 8. 1912.
FACT AND GOSSIP
IN BUSINESS
WORLD
By 8. C. FORBES.
YORK. May 8.-- The attorney gen
eral had just reached his office after a
month s absence from Washington As
be entered he noticed a crowd of trust
magnates and lawyers. Hardly had he
opened hfs desk when a secretary an
nounce# that a large number of gentle- j
men were clamoring to see him.
“Who are they?” demanded Mr. Wick- I
ersham.
I notice quire a few heads of trusts,’’
ventured the secretary.
Imh More of them trying to escape
the consequences of their wrongdoing. I
can t stop the machinery of the law The
lan must take its course. This is no
time to halt prosecutions. Didn't 1 re
mark a year ago that there were about
g hundred black sheep that I would get
after? There's been enough said about
withholding the Harvester suit. No, I
must do my duty.''
The secretary waited for instructions.
Mr. 15 ickersham fumbled among formid
able-looking documents.
' Shall I tell them all to go away, sir?”
he asked timidly.
The attorney general obviously was an
noyed. He fumbled nervously. "No, show
them in I'll talk straight to them.” he
snapped.
The visitors trooped in excitedly.
*"Mr. Wickersham, we want to beg
you”-
Ihe attorney general Impatiently
slopped th» speaker. His face reddened
He cleared his throat ominously
• • ♦
"It's no use begging me. gentlemen, to
depart from the course this department
has mapped out.” he began, talking very
rapidly. You know, or ought to know,
that it is highly improper to seek to tempt
a government official to depart from the
path of duty My duty is plain I mean
to perform it no matter how unpleasant
the consequences may be for some .of
you You are conscious that you have
violated”——-
"But, Mr. Attorne.' General, we don't
want to persuade you not to prosecute”
—-interrupted the spokesman.
"Nothing you may say can influence me
to desist,” broke in Mr Wickershanf,
tartly. "You are wasting your time and
mine, too The cabinet has settled’upon
its policy tfhd I am here to faithfully car
ry out its wishes. Monopolistic combina
tions that are plainly in violation of the
Sherman law must be broken up. Do I
not make myself plain?”
"Yes, but we are not here to ask vou
to drop "
Gentlemen, I must not listen to your
pleadings.” he again interrupted as his
visitors stared at one another in amaze
ment. "The court, not my private office,
is the proper place for the presentation
of arguments There has been In the past
too much of the side-door interviewing
of high officials by trust owners. 1 will
not submit to it. With every respect to
you. gentlemen. I must ask you tn con
sider this interview over.”
He rose and waved his hand toward
the door. There was general confusion
in the room. No one appeared to know
what to do A hurried consultation took
place as a movement began toward the
door. The speaker, rising, said bluntly:
"Sir. we came here tn beg you to dis
solve us.”
"What?” shouted the attorney gen
eral.
’.‘We request that the government should
not bestow the favors of prosecution and
dissolution upon a few favorite combina
tions and leave us out in the cold. Our
securities are selling altogether too low
We can not raise capital on advantageous
terms We want to he in a position to
distribute a few melons among our stock
holders. Why should the Standard Oil
Company and the American Tobacco Com
pany be singled out for preferential treat
ment’ Weren't they riclt enough before
you added scores of millions to their mar
ket value by ordering them disintegrat
ed ?”
• * •
The attorney general was too dum
founded for utterance •
"We are really a very wicked trust.”
said Hie American Woolen Company's rep
resentative. "And. besides, even our pre
ferred stock is away below par."
"Everybody knows we are a bad trust.”
pleaded the Smelter trust s lawyer "The
people have wanted us prosecuted. Isn't
that something in our favor?”
"We wear the Standard Oil label and
surely ought to receive recognition.” in
terjected the Corn Products, alias the
Glucose trust, delegate.
"Haven't we prior claim?" piped up
the Sugar trust lawyer. “Just think how
awfully wicked we have been”'
‘ 1 think you will admit that General
Electric is big enough to be worthy of
notice.” spoke up another. "Mr. Knox
Smith has said we are aspiring monopol
ists."
“Our dividends have had to be cut."
complained National Lead’s representa
tive "Please break ns up. We need the
money."
"The rubber business Isn't what, it used
to be. won't you kindly disintegrate us."
beseeched the U. S Rubber trust's law
yer.
* • ♦
The attorney general was speechless.
• • •
“We are willing tn draw lots to see who
shall he the first to be made rich by dis
solution proceedings.” said the first
speaker. "We realize that if the govern
ment bestows its favors lavishly their
market value decline."
...
“I’ll bring the matter before the cab
inet Gentlemen, good-day." And the
historic sederunt ended.

NEW YORK. May fi. [p line with
weaker cables from Liverpool the notion
market opened 11 to 16 points lower to
day. Bearish operations were also helped
I by predictions for fair weather over the
belt. Recent buyers became heavy sell
ers. but this pressure was offset by a
I few Wall Street houses which supported
the market. After the < all there was a
rally of about a half-dozen points
Liverpool fully met the decline of yes
terday. but buying hero was good ana all
offerings were rapidly absorbed by strong
interests. The original bull traders were
credited with the principal buying, while
the local scalpers sold, and one would
judge that the ring crowd are short at
the moment, based on predictions of bet
ter weather the next few’ days. New' Or
leans and New York exports say we max
expect clearing weather In the central
and eastern belt by tomorrow There was
a good deal of long cotton sold yester
day, which the sellers are anxious to re
place at lower prices and there is no rea
son to fear a decline of any consequence
At flic close the market was steady at
a rally of from 10 to 13 points from the

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. May 8.-The weather
map showed improved weather conditions.
Liverpool showed a sharp break of 9
points on futures and 8 points lower on
spots: sales 8.000 bales, but improved In
the last hour on the better tone, of our
markets.
First trades here were at a decline of
8 to 11 points, but there was a good gen
eral demand induced, principally by the
official weather forecasts promising show
ers west of the Atlantics The feeling Is
so nervous over the weather that If the
word “showers” appears in forecasts it
is sufficient to induce buying
\ point in North Carolina which has
had as much rain as some of the wettest
sections of Mississippi wires. “The own
er of section 66 plantation, about 1.000
acres, says his cotton is squaring up nice
iy.”
The movement for the half week at the
thirteen leading interior towns reflects
the late quietness in spot business. Re
ceipts 1.6.837. against 10,363 last year
Loss in stock only 9.000. against 19,000 last
year. The average weight per hale for
the belt at the end of the first eight
months of the season is given as 5)8.54,
against 518.81 last year.
Information from New York regarding
yesterday s developments is to the effect
that leading interests have liquidated
heavily The Waldorf crowd were re
ported buyers this morning, but support
by such interests as McFadden has not
been heard of for some time. Public feel
ing is with rhe hull side, greatly strength
ened by the rapid recovery from the last
break, and belief in the prophecy of a wet
May.

SUPPORT POOR
Steel Was Heavy. Its Decline
Affecting Many Other Indus
trial Issues.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. May 6. - With excep
tion nf Reading there was practically no
demand for stocks at the opening the
stock market today, and as a result prices
were off. Reading opened higher, but
at the end of fifteen minutes i»u\ing
turned into selling and the issue losi all
its gain and \ additional The better
tone which prevailed late yesterday was
not mainutTned at the opening, and the
list ruled heavy, one of the most active
of the stocks was Anleriran Smelting,
which yielded 7 S . going to 83G
Losses of Vg or more were scored In
United Spates Steel. Amalgamated Cop
per and a number of others The copper
stocks were under pressure In London, as
well as in New York
Canadian Pacific was another Issue ad
versely affected through London selling
before the local market opened, it was
7 *c lower at the outset and the loss soon
aggregated a point. Lehigh Valley opened
unchanged, but lost subsequently.
Erie common was up and Southern Pa
cific was up 14.
Among the declines were Union Pacific
Atchison Vr and Baltimore and Ohio a
The curb was irregular.
Americans in London showed early im
provement. then reacted.
The tone continued unsettled in the late
forenoon and the advance established in
the early trading failed to restore confi
dence to any degree in the speculative
situation. Steel common was heavy
owing to the lack of support, declining 1
point The heaviness in this leading In
dustrial was effective tn forcing reces
sions in many other Industrials New
York Central. Lehigh Valley and Balti
more ami Ohio were in fairly good de
mand. and there were Indications of re
newed! accumulation in Erie. Reading
was heavy.
The market closed steady
Government bonds unchanged. other
bonds steady

The New Orleans Times Democrat: Re

interest In the actual stuff in the local

esteem in the South is shown by yester
day’s spot advance of 1-16 c at Savannah,
of 0c at Augusta and Norfolk and of

unsold stock has shrunk .to small propor

on fudging general trade conditions by

supply from the yield of 1911 and have
also bought some cotton to come from the

ton to speak of since prices climbed above
9 cents, says the bear. And there the
argument rests
