HALF-CENT COIN
WEEDED
It Will Do the Nation a Lot of
Good to Get Down to
Using Them.
By B. C. FORBES.
‘NKW YORK. May 10.—By all means let
is have half-cerit pieces. Three-cent coins
°'°uld also be usefilf. But the half-cent is
'nfinitely more important. "We need to
-peak in thousands and then in millions,
but now we talk freely °f a hundred mil
lions." is the tenor of a remark often
heard In financial circles Billions, too,
are becoming more common—we measure
our annual crop value in billions, our
yearly manufactures ditto, our gross rail
road earnings in the same way. and. of
course, we have our billion-dollar indus
trial corporation.
But along with our billions it will do
no harm; instead, a lot of good, to get
down to half cents
Nearly every nation has a coin of less
value than our cent.
Adopting coins of small value is usually
less a sign of poverty than of an advance
in civilization. In the United States the
halving of the cent would be productive
of innumerable benefits for the classes
who are most in need of any and every
assistance that can be extended them.
Those accustomed to handling consider
able sums, those who are not obliged to
plan and scrape in order to provide food,
clothing and shelter, may be disposed to
scoff at the proposal to introduce half
cent pieces. But to several million of
our population the difference between a
whole and a half cent, multiplied a few
times daily or weekly. Is not a mat’er for
scorn or for levity.
If the very poorest of our people can
be appreciably helped by making the new
coin no consideration should be allowed to
kill the proposal
Certain treasury officials have been very
anxious to change the size and designs
of our paper currency Arguments
aplenty are offered in favor of the
scheme by its advocates, but ask any poor
persons whether he or she would sooner
have the artistic effects of our bills im
proved or a half-cent piece brought into
use and the reply will be very emphatic.
For all practical purposes our paper cur
rency is serviceable enough, and it does
not appear to be a matter of life or death
■whether it remains as it is or be re
modelled. But it is a matter of im
portance to many unfortunates whether
they can buy necessaries for a full cent
or half a cent.
On humanitarian grounds alone the
United States should not hesitate to adopt
the humbler coin.
In a thousand ways not yet realized the
halfcent would, if introduced, be found
■useful To "make change" would be only
one purpose for which it would serve.
Many things now costing a cent would be
lowered to half a cent. Competition is
a wonderful knife for cutting prices, just
as monopoly is an all-powerful instrument
for jacking them up lust at present
the principle of competition is being sub
jected to all sorts of abuse. It, is old
fashioned. we are told: anarchronistie,
short-sighted, injurious. Maybe it is -in
the' eyes rtf those who' wouM fatten on
monopolistic operations. The government
has not been brilliantly successful in
lassooing those adjudged guilty of re
straint of trade through; monopolistic or
ganizations; it has. indeed, signally failed
to restore genuine competition in cases
where this world-old principle had been
abrogated. But' the public's will, doubt
not for ofte instant, shall yet be trans
formed into statutes which not one trust
or al! the trusts combined will be able
to defy
In a small way—not so very small
either for the less ’"successful” of our fel
low mortals —the adoption of half-cent
pieces will tend to foster competition. The
despised coin may cut no figure, in the
realm of high finance or big business,
but it will serve a desirable purpose at
the other end of the scale. And surely
this is not unworthy of our legislators’
attention.

nal and The Constitution were argued
before Judge Paidee on April 29. He has
not yet rendered bis decision in The Con

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. May 10 -Yesterday
after hours Washington announced that
the bureau report giving acreage and con
dition will be published June 4, at noon,
our time. Under present conditions the
tendency is to look for a bullish report,
particularly if planting should be fur
ther interfered with by the weather dur
ing the rest of the month.
The weather map shows fair in west
Texas and in all of the Atlantic states:
cloudv elsewhere. General rains and
showers in the northern half of Texas,
north Louisiana. Alabama and Missis
sippi No rain elsewhere Precipitation
was heavy in Oklahoma and in the
Shreveport district of Louisiana. Indica
tions are for fair in west Texas and the
Carolinas, cloudv and showery elsewhere
with probablv heavier rains in northeast
Texas, north Louisiana and Tennessee,
followed by clearing weather in Texas.
Liverpool was; poor at the start, with
futures about 3 points lower than due. but
received support from our side in the last
hour.
Our market opened about 7 points
higher and there was a marked scarcity
of • sellers owing to an intimation from
New York that the market would be
pushed higher on the weather; also be
cause of anticipation of government
weather forecasts promising unsettled,
showery weather, and of large mill tak
ings expected in this afternoon's visible
Contrary to expectations, the market
eased in the second hour, owing to ab
sence of New York support in the face
of bullish advices from there and detailed
wea'her records showing very little rain
in the belt yesterday outside of Oklahoma
Private advices front Texas say weather
ideal Hains in northwest Texas very
beneficial.

indicate further rains. The character of

bullish sentiment among the public Think
the outlook and the immediate conditions
fully warrant a bullish attitude. Look
for much higher prices.”
New Orleans Times-Democrat: "The
cotton market makes strange bed-fellows.
The strength of spots has led some pro
fessional price pessimists into the bull
camp. The magnitude of the supply has
led some professional price optimists into
the bear camp, and so curiously assorted
groups, heads together, discuss the cotton
market, past, present and future, on the
floor of the exchanges day after day. ‘The
weather map is till wrong.' says one.
The weather in May. 1908 was worse
than it is now.' says another ‘But the
weather prior to April 15, 1908. was good,
whereas during the four months this year
has been very bad.' says a third. The
crop is in a bad way.' says a fourth. The
crop is in a fairway to break the 1911
records.' says a fifth. 'There is no spot
demand.' says a sixth No cotton Is
weighing on the market anywhere, and
May shorts are gathering up exporters
over in an effort to satisfy their obli
gations.' says a seventh And so on
throughout the gamut Everywhere fact
and theory clash. Some men are linked
** iiffi an idea, others drift with the cur
rent A few days ago one of the big
gest operators of modern times said he
was bullish because of supply and de
mand. which was called by some people
'an aparently incredible<reason.' But yes
terday an exporter, who buys and ships
out probably a quarter of a million bales
a year, put the case thus: ‘America has
over exported a sixteen million bale crop.
1 expect to see port stocks drop 250.-
000 bales under the port stocks of 1909.
Europe has all the cheap cotton. There
is nothing to depress the market but spec
ulative sales Suppose somebody should
step In and buy 25.000 bales of the mid
summer delivery, what would happen trr
the market?'

With Interest Chiefly in the
Industrial Issues.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. May 10.—Most of the
speculative interest was centered in
United States Steel common at the open
ing of the stock market today. As a re
sult of the demand the issue rose front
an opening gain of 'j to an aggregate
advance of % in the first fifteen minutes.
The tone at the offset was strong Not
only were there an absence of urgent
selling, but there was good buying Al
most every issue on the list made a gain
Chief among the industrials was followed
by substantial advances among the lower
priced issues. The railroad list was less
active, though Reading and one or two
others were substantially above Thurs
day's closing. Amalgamated Copper was
up 1 point. Other gains were Spielting
%. Atchison %. Erie %, Reading %. Union
Pacific %. Missouri Pacific % Profit
taking in Canadian Pacific In London
caused that stock % under Thursday’s
price in New York.
The curb was quiet Americans in Lon
don showed firmness wuth an advance tn
prices
The tone of the market held firm in
the late forenoon with most.of the inter
est centered in the industrials. Gains of
more than 1 point were made in Ameri
can Can. common and preferred, and
American Beet Sugar Price changes in
the railroad list were not of much im
portance.
