fl SIDELIGHT UN GOST OF LIVING Recent Demand Made by East ern Fireman Is a Sermon in Economics. By B, C. FORBES. NEW YORK. May 9.—We are all be coming too genteel for this work a day world. We hate to soil our hands. "Man nsl labor is despised. Unless we can near collar and coat at our work we want to change our job. If we have to toil more than eight hours in the 24 we feel badly treated. Honest sweat is no longer con sidered respectable, using that word in its modern sense. We all aspire to be dilettantes. I once lived in a country where the bricklayers had every brick laid in front of them by negro helpers. These observations are inspired by the demands made upon the railroads by loco motive firemen. Each of them wants an •ssistant to do the rough work. And bless you, the precious tiremen must not In future be asked to groom their me chanical steeds lest some oil or grime spoil the polish on the fireman's nails. One railway manager is credited with having remarked; "They want a valet." And a perusal of the lengthy schedule of . demands—the text would fill a whole col umn—reveals why such a comment should have been made. The impression con veyed is that the firemen have become •oo uppish for their jobs. When a man gets into frame of mind he is apt to trip and fall to mother earth. Do not the latest developments justify the railway managers’ contention that an advance in engineers' wages would be followed by similar demands from all classes of employees? The managers knew what they were about when they insisted upon arbitration. Another labor incident is worth more than passing notice: The refusal of the coal miners’ representatives to accept the agreement made on their behalf by a sub-committee is likely to lead to grave consequences A friend told me that President feaer, of the Reading company, vowed that the next overtures for peace must come from the men. The producers are naturally chagrined over the rejection of the settlement mutually agreed upon by the conferees delegated to draw up a peace pact. A bitter light may follow. The householder should be glad spring is at last here, for it may cost money lots of it—to keep furnaces going after . coal bins are emptied. The cost of living has been soaring rather rapidly of late through the fresh concessions granted labor. Every yard of cotton costs more to manufacture to day than it did a month or two ago, hence dry goods are dearer. The wages of coal miners admittedly are moving tipward, and it can be accepted as a foregone conclusion that the price of fuel will rise. Then the chances are that the railroads will be called upon to make some new allowances to certain classes of employees—another tax by and by upon the consumer of life's neces saries. All these benefits to the workers may be absolutely necessary to meet the heavier burdens entailed by modern con ditions, but never let the fact be over looked that each advance in pay means an additional load upon the rest of us. Wages never come down. That broad, fundamental fact is worth remembering. Os course, there may be local declines in times of depression, but the rule — international in application—is substan tially true The sooner the tariff on im ports is radically lowered, the better for us all. If WC keep on jacking up wages we will become impotent as competitors for the world’s markets. If it costs the American manufacturer a dollar and live cents to produce merchandise foreigners can supply at a dollar, we fall out of the race. And now that we consume most of our home-grown foodstuffs it is increasingly desirable that we should outstrip other nations as manufactur ers. The economic fabric is so woven that if you overstrain one thread the whole is weakened. Are wo in danger of spoiling the fabric? Warranty Deed to Secure Loan. SIOOO—S. W.

Conflicting reports on the condition of the cotton crop have caused the state department of agriculture to send out state-wide queries to ascertain the ac tual situation. J. .L Connor, newly appointed com missioner of agriculture, said today that the bright weather had undoubt edly saved the crop from utter ruin in many sections. Even with the ideal weather condi tions now prevailing. Mr. Connor is of the opinion that the crop will not reach 60 per cent of the crop of 1911. He said: "While conditions indicate that we will have a real cotton crop, the late ness of the planting season has cut down the acreage in many sections. The crop will not approach that of 1911." Substantial Data Sought. J. J Brown, the new assistant com missioner. said he was sending out in quiries over the state to get some real data upon the conditions for the de partment. "It will be corn year,'.' said Mr. Brown. "The planting season for cotton is at least twenty days late. As a result many farmers will bo forced to turn to corn. Corn can be safely planted any time during May with favorable weath er conditions. "In many respects it may be a good thing. It will at any rate test out the corn theory for Georgia. You know most people think that Georgia would ’ do well to let up a little on cotton and turn to corn and provision crops. "At any rate. In a few days wo will have some real data on th» cotton sit uation and then some actual predictions can be made.” Brown Rot Hits Peaches. E. Lee Worsham, state entomologist, is worried over the peach crop. He says that "brow n rot," the most per nicious peach pest known to this sec tion. has invaded Georgia orchards. "Unless we get a good spell of sunny weather the peach crop is sure to be badly damaged by 'brown rot.’ The ’rot’ is very early this year and came as a result of the rainy weather," he said. t DAILY STATISTICS.

Bag got & Co.; There was no heavy pressure to sell around the opening of the market. and the buying looked to be coming from I good sources. I Think the market should be bought on all soft spots today. Weather experts say map indicates more rain in the west- I erfi belt. If this is correct, we will have higher market.

No rain except .34 at Chattanooga and .22 at Knoxville. In dications are for unsettled weather in the western half Texas and Oklahoma, and generally fair central and eastern states. Few sellers and considerable demand on prospects of unsettled, showery weath er in Texas and Oklahoma at the open ing New York wires, night letter; "Should the market open down tomorrow i Thurs day) on favorable weather, look for good buying, as a number of bulls who had large lines sold out yesterday and Mon day are anxious to replace. Castles start ed it today. The selling has been general today an<l the market apparently short. Very conservative people believe the mar ket a purchase around present prices." Vicksburg. Miss., w ires: “The weevil is already making its appearance in the cot ton fields of the hill section." Mobile wires: "From a. reliable sourse. understand the Mississippi condition worse than in 1900. when they made 950,000 bales. This comes from a good source, but the party does not wish to be quoted. Says it's the worst be has ever known." New’ Orleans Times-Democrat: “While the remaining outstanding Interest in May is something less than 10,000 bales, the fact that much of the cotton inspected for certification and eventual tender is too low for tender purposes is beginning to mean something in the eyes of th£ trade. Recently as much as 88 per cent of a lot inspected at New Orleans was found too low. At New York it is re ported the rejections have been running as high as from 30 to 40 per cent. As the interest in July is very much larger lhan that in May. operators have already begun to wonder whether the market is drifting. Meantime the excess in ex port stock over 1909 has shrunk from 633.000 bales on February 23d last io 25.600 on May 8. The weather map shows some Improvement over the average map of the past three months. Nevertheless, rains after today are indicated In the ter ritory Where many days of sunshine are needed, and the fact that, the unsettled weather Is again promised for all states save the Carolinas and Georgia is not calculated to increase confidence m a large out-turn from the 1912 planting.

COTTON SPOTS BUYLIBERALLY Market Steady in Face of Weak Liverpool and Favorable Weather Reports. NEX<’ YORK. May 9. —The cotton mar ket opened easier today with first prices 5 to 7 points under yesterday's close. Cables were weaker than due and reports of more favorable weather over the Southern belt also helped the bears. Pro fessional sentimetn appeared to be against the market and there was more or less local pressure from a number of spot houses. Futures and spot were easy in Liver pool. The market showed considerable strength in the face of the favorable map and unfavorable Liverpool. This was due io the good buying.by spot interests. The popular idea in the mind of the average trader is. should we have two weeks of good weather, a serious decline would be inevitable. This is entirely problematical On the other hand, should rains continue throughout May, what then? The market was very steady in the aft ernoon with spot people still buying. At 2 o'clock prices ranged to 8 points above the previous close. At the close the market was barely steady at advances of from 4 to 9 points above Wednesday’s final quotations.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 9. Liverpool was poor, showing futures as much as 7%. points down; spots I point better; sales 12.000 bales. Paris says renewed uneasiness prevails over the Turkish- Italian affair •In face of the decline abroad our mar ket opened only a few points easier and advanced promptly on scarcity of sellers and general demand based on the gov ernment forecast of unsettled, showefy weather for the Western states and poor report from a trusted crop reporter. This report covers eastern Alabama and the greater part of Georgia It says the start is unfavorable to poor, much land still unplowed, but work rushed wherever pos sible. New York advices today favored the market, reporting strong buying by Wal dorf operators and by other interests that, have realized during the past two days. The into-sight for the week looks around 81.000, against 73,935 last year. Our market continued firm and ad vanced throughout the morning session. October selling to 11.79. The feeling is bullish ■' and encouraged by pessimistic crop accounts and crop views from Mis sissippi and Alabama, bad weather pros pects and bullish professional advices from New York.
