BUSINESSNEEDS JUSTABRIICER Improvement in Crops Would Aid in Restoring Confidence to Shaky Leaders. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK. May 16. Business leaders tire wavering between optimism and pes simism Temporary uneasiness is felt, but all improvement in the crop outlook prob ably would revive confidence. Developments have been uneven. The governments report on winter wheat holds out promise of a crop of only 370,000 bushels, while six ’million acres were abandoned. Moreover, the whole ag ricultural season is between three weeks and a month late, while the excessive rains will retard progress until a spell •of real warm weather is enjojed. How ever, the rain-soaked land could be promptly put under other crops were the sun to come out for a week or two, and the whole agricultural nutlook easily un dergo an encouraging change. Industries are moving critically, some expanding, others contracting. Steel pro duction is at the rate of 3,000,000 tons per annum, a new high record for the country. Consumption has also heen stimulated by lower prices. The railroads are- today placing enormous orders for cars and rails, while the demands from the build ing trade are also heavy enough to jus tify the marking up of prices. The Steel Trust’s bookings during April ■were 360,000 tons larger than the ab normal output, and as the margin of profit will be larger from now on. the com pany’s net earnings should not again fail to provide anything for the common stock dividend. Possibility of Overproduction. Is there danger that the production of steel in the United’ States will heavily ex ceed consumption 0 The productive ca pacity of the country today is very much greater than in any former year, and expansion is still the watchword of man ufacturers. Unless, therefore, general in dustry broadens out the increased- ton nage will not find a market- at least at home. The trying experience which cop per producers have passed through is brought to mind by the current conditions in iron and steel. Instead of indulging in discomforting forebodings, however, it is permissible to hope that, given bounteous crops, the country will resume Its forward march once the presidential election is over. Indeed, business is unlikely to wait un til November before casting "ff its doubts and fears Even now hank clearings are running far ahead nf last year and railroad groSs earnings are rising Much has been said in these articles concerning the probability of a traffic blockade this year The principal rail road systems have at last taken cog nizance of this peril. They have placed huge orders for equipment, and will be stir themselves to prepare for the coming tidal wave of traffic The low prices of materials is an. incentive to place con tracts without further delay. Setback on Stock Exchange. The Stock Exchange has suffered quite a sharp setback. Prominent railroad and industrial stocks have tumbled 1 five to nearly ten points from the high levels recently reached, although latterly there haxe been irregular rallies The break in storks had a chilling effect upon specu lative sentiment. The strongest banking Interests had. as recorded here, given no tice that a speculative boom would not bp in order in fact, the Impression was nearly that the pace had been unjustifiably rapid. Then the lamentable political tur moil could not he entirely Ignored. The financial community had made up its mind that President Taft would bp nominated, and that no legislation of a more harassing nature than that already experienced would he attempted Rut Mr. Roosevelt’s remarkable demonstration of strength in first one state and then an other forced reconsideration of the po litical potents. At this moment un certainty rules- and uncertainty is never conducive to financial or industrial sta bility. Money Everywhere Easy. One fundamental, favorable feature is the world-wide ease in money. Every where monetary conditions are most com fortable. The Bank of England, wl • is still the hub of the whole financial wheel, lowered its discount rate lasi week’, and the Bank of France, as well as the Imperial Bank of Germany, will almost certainly reduce their charges for accommodation. At New York cheap money is also the rule. The difference between dear and cheap money at all leading centers is of far greater moment than the average per son is apt to realize. A high hank rate in Great Britain acts as a serious brake upon the wheels of industry indeed, whenever the English bank hoists a dan ger signal every manufacturer takes heed and curtails activities. A similar effect is produced on the continent of Europe. In the United States stringency’ sometimes has tn go pretty far before the omen is given general attention, although in this respect the business community’ is becom ing wiser every year.

The only way in which interest can he earned is by har nessing capital, by putting it into business channels. The fourfold oversubscription of the New York city $65,000,000 loan is sig nificant. True, the Income rate demanded was practically U 4 per cent, a fact not complimentary to our city fathers. Rut there were special circumstances of an extenuating nature. The incident has 1 demonstrated to prospective corporate borrowers that funds are available in abundance, provided proper security and a fairly generous return can be offered. The railroads are in a fairway to re ceive equitable treatment in the matter of income ami expenditures. The labors of the arbitration commission which is to pass on the engine drivers’ demands for higher wages may have the most far-reaching influence upon the future treatment of transportation companies. If I it be proved conclusively that the placing: of heavier burdens upon the railroads would unduly check development, then the public will realize that nothing of this kind can be permitted, for the na tion can not prosper if its railroads are languishing. The majority of our dominating finan ciers are not yet ready to go ahead cour ageously. They urge caution for the present, but incline to the belief that a more aggressive course will.be justified in the not distant future. . rrw ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 16. 1912. GOOD WEATHER LOH COTTON Market Closes Lower Than the Preceding Day—Realizing Pulls It Down. NEW YORK, May 16. -While early news on cotton was rather bullish. In cluding firm cables, unfavorable crop ac counts and further overflows in the lower Mississippi valley, the cotton market opened quiet and featureless today with first prices unchanged to 3 points higher. Private Liverpool cables reported buying by spot houses on poor crops. After the call trading here was largely professional. English cables reported futures and spot strong in Liverpool. The selling was somewhat better than the buying around the opening, and the I market was sold <»ff 7 to 8 points. This selling, it is said, was based on better weather over the belt. Some of the local weather experts predict more lain in Ibe next few days and this checked a further decline under the heavy selling. The buy- | Ing on the decline came from strong in- j terests. It is believed that strong spot interests are picking up Jul«y on all soft spots and strong Wall Street operators are buying December. No reason to fear a decline of any consequence. In the late afternoon the market was very steady, having rallied from the low’ levels, and at 2 o’clock prices were un changed to 5 points above the previous close. In the last hour absence of support and realizing sales resulted in a setback to the low levels of the morning, the close being barely steady’ at 3 to 8 points de cline from Wednesday’s final quotations.

Indications are for generally fair and warmer. Green\iille, Miss., says: “Planters more hopeful; waters continue to recede slow ly. and while as yet only the slightest re lief from the distressing flood conditions, planters still hope there will be a cotton crop made.” New Orleans Times-Democrat: Neither faction appears willing to credit any por tion of the other's argument, and yet there is some logic and reason and fact being exploited by both. The weather has continued bad in some sections of the belt and has been good in others. Where the weather has been fairly good the farmers have worked with vim and vigor to make up for lost time, and high temperatures have assisted, through rapid germination of the seed. This gives the bear an idea that bad crop reports have been exaggerated, therefore, all must be well with the season of 1912. The start is later than normal and very much later thafi last year The weathei hat been very unfavorable until recently, when im provement has been shown. This gives «he bull the impression "that a crop dis aster is inevitable and that very much higher prices are on the cards. The truth seems to be that a full crop will be need ed. and that a full crop mitet be pro duced if very much higher prices are not to be witnessed. Thus far the weather has not been full crop weather. Mean while the talent’s sense of proportion seems to have suffered tjirough the de velopments of the past twelve months. • | THE WEATHER | Conditions. WASHINGTON.

Lehigh Valle' opened %e off. but later rallied. American Smelting de clined %. The same gain was made in Amalgamated Copper, but prices subse quently reacted. Erie common and Southern Railway started with losses of %. The curb was Irregular. Americans in London were irregular. Canadian Pacific in London sold be neath .New York, but the tone was steady. The London market was affected by close/} exchanges in Paris and Berlin, where a holida,' was observed. ■ The heavy .selling which marked the early trading diminished in the late fore noon, and buying orders caused a firm tone. Fractional advances were made in steel common, Lehigh Valley and Read ing. A number of other tailroads and in- made slight gains. After losses ranging around 3 points In Reading.
