BANKERS TO GET NEARER PEOPLE Movement Is Inaugurated to Become of Greater Serv ice to the Public. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, May 17, —America's bank srs are to come closer to the people. They are to take a more practical—less of a kidglove—interest in affairs. They ire especially anxious to promote agri cultural development and the kind of ed ucation calculated to produce farmers rather than clerks. It is claimed that ilreadv 90 of every l,po hankers have taken farms of their own, but this state ment. is scarcely credible. Then city bankers who heretofore have confined their labors to their private offices are henceforth to get out and inspect the properties whose securities they handle. Tours over railways of which they are directors will also be more frequent in the future. Prompted by a mistaken sense of dig nity, contracted from contagion with their European prototypes, our financiers and bankers have held aloof from open dis cussion of the problems of the day. This, too, is being changed. Bankers are to become more practical, more workaday. At the bankers’ convention held at Briarcliff Lodge last week, much impor tance was attached to a movement for the promotion of agriculture and agricul tural education. No fewer than twenty state bankers’ associations have taken up the subject, while the American Bankers’ association, the parent body, with a membership representing 12,000 banks, has appointed a standing committee to further the project. One member re marked: "It is time w'e bankers mix in the active affairs of the world. We have stayed on the outside -long enough.” That was harsh, but true. * * * No greater service could be rendered by the bankers than helping to restore the popularity of farm life and the effi ciency of our farmers. Country bankers know that numbers of plans could be fostered by them to assist in placing the best implements and machinery within reach of the ordinary farmer, in provid ing farmers and prospective farmers con venient facilities for learning all about the value of crop rotation, intensive cultiva tion. the generous use of fertilizers, stock breeding, etc., etc. The worthy farmer should not be hampered by excessive charges for the loan of funds to introduce scientific appliances. "land banks." as they are called in some countries, may not be feasible, but local co-operation could do a great deal. ♦ » • The modern Moses will be that man who can make two blades of grass grow where only one or none grew before. The key to the low cost of living is to be discovered on the farm. At present It is lost. « * « Fifty years ago only 16 per cent of our population lived in cities. By 1900 the ratio had doubled The latest official re turns show that in 1910 the urban popu lation was. roundly, 35,000,000, or 37% per cent. Put differently, the city dwellers have multiplied since 1860 seven-fold, whereas the total population has only trebled. Os every hundred Americans at the middle of last century 84 lived in the country and had to feed only sixteen others: today 62 rural folks have to sup ply the wants of 38 city people. And do not forget that every one of the hundred uses up more food than he did a genera tion ago A considerable proportion of them wants even more than it actually consumes « • • If our bankers can reduce the percent age of city toilers and increase the num ber of foodstuff producers they will earn the gratitude of 90,000.000 Americans. As the newspapers containing this col umn are speeding Westward and South ward a party of New York bankers and heads of investment houses will be in specting one of the country’s largest steel plants. These men want to see with their own eyes what is being done be fore they consent to invite clients to subscribe for a huge issue of bonds short ly to be offered. Such action is not now rare. and it will be more common in fu ture. Certain firms not only send their salesmen to learn all they can about properties about to be bonded, but courses of lectures are delivered so that the men may talk intelligently about their wares, and, of equal Importance, de rive enthusiasm over their soundness Some investment concerns stipulate that they shall have, a very strong voice in the management of enterprises they finance. This .arrangement is likely to attain greater vogue. • • * J. F. Morgan’s cast-iron example, of refusing to discuss any subject, finan cial. political or economic, has Influenced lesser luminaries to maintain silence, but the shortsightedness of such conduct is gradually being realized Bankers can not afford to shut themselves up in their private parlors It is. as one of them aptly declared, time they mixed with the rest of us.

HAYWARD & CLARK S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 17— Liverpool was steady on futures, but quoted 8 points lower on spots, with sales of 8.000 bales. The market, however, gave way as soon as easiness appeared in New York. We opened about 8 points down and there were comparatively few sellers. Like Liv erpool. our market showed fear of the controlling power of the Northern bull interests, and the consequent scarcity of. sellers made itself felt when the gov ernment forecast was posted predicting increased cloudiness for east Texas, and unsettled tomorrow’ in Oklahoma, which caused a little buying. Small as the de mand was it advanced prices promptly. Today’s dry goods reports had a less optimistic tone, but it is thought that business will improve with the better weather in the South and warmer weather in the Northwestern states. Liverpool cables: "No speculative sell ing. Spots stagnant everywhere. Spin ners overstocked. Europe oversupplied. Present crop beginning to weigh heavily. Texas already offering new crop ship ments.” Our market held steady during the morning around opening figures. The small movement figures were the basis for some support, but everybody knows that the principal cause for the small into sight is the absence of export demand.

Indications are for continued fair weath er in the Eastern states. New* Orleans Times-Democrat The promise of a postponement of the agri cultural bureau’s acreage and condition report to a later date than June 4 uas necessary to inject real courage into (he bears. They had a weather map showing only light showers during the 24 hours ending yesterday morning, ami the most favorable weather forecast the market has had in many weeks, but for some rea son, presumably the presence of many shorts at a time when port stocks are dwindling rapidly, confined the vigor of the bearish campaign to words rather than deeds. Postponement of the acre age and condition report Is another mat ter. The start of the crop has been late and under adverse conditions, and no matter how good the weather might be between this date and May 25, the bureau report would probably show a bullish state of affairs. A month later good weather may have done all the good it can do. and on June 25 the crop may look its best. At that time the swing from soggy fields to a worked-out crop may establish a striking contrast, and at that time little or no effect from the crucial summer drouth period will be apparent. In other words, the bear seems to feel that an initial acreage and condition re port as of June 25 will be more apt to favor his cause than an Initial report as of May 25. and for this reason the an nouncement that the United States sen ate will today vote to postpone the date was interpreted bearlehly.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK. May 17 —Sharp realizing sales of Canadian Pacific in the London market caused a loss of 3% in that issue here at the opening of the New York market today. Later there was a rally. Although many stocks were under press ure at the outset, a stronger tone devel oped at the end of fifteen minutes' trad ing and a number of stocks which bad suffered declines in tbs first trading either recovered a part or all of their early loss. Soma, made gains. Union Pacific was swung by the reac tion after having opened at 169%, or •’« under Thursday's closing. It recovered its loss and made a fractional gain United States Steel, after starting off %. recovered. Utah Copper stocks were in fairly good demand. The curb was steady. \merlcans in London lacked support, which was chiefly the cause for the early weakness in the New York market. An irregular tone was shown in the late forenoon. The coal stocks showed pronounced strength, with Lehigh Valley moving up more than a point, while many other issues displayed pronounced weak ness. especially the Wabash issues Little interest was shown in the impor tant issues in the late afternoon and price changes in the leading railroads and in dustrials were limited to small fractions. Consistent buying advanced the price of Brooklyn Rapid Transit to over 87. nr a gain of 1 point. The market closed steady. Governments unchanged; other bonds steady.

MOTIONS IN CEREALS NARROW Market Quiets Down With Wheat Slightly Lower—Corn and Oats Steady. ST. LOUIS CASH QUOTATIONS Wheat—No. 2 red 119 0120 Corn 80% t >ats 56% CHICAGO, May 17.—Wheat opened strong this morning to the surprise, of many in the traxie, the principal influence being the fact that Liverpool refused to follow the break in prices in this market yesterday, together with smaller world’s shipments and smaller receipts in the Northwest. Prices ranged from %c low er to %c higher. Trade was large and the feeling was nervous. After the early trading was over commission house sup port appeared and profit-taking by shorts caused a little rally. Corn was l%c higher for May, whfl* the other months were % to %c better There was no break in the ranks of bulls in May corn and the shorts will doubtless have to pay the penalty. Oats were %c lower to %c higher The market was weak and nervous and early trade yvas confined within narrow bounds. Provisions opened Irregularly, being higher for pork, but lower for lard and unchanged for ribs. Thera was a weak feeling early on free selling, but the mar ket soon rallied on the better hog situa tion in the West. Wheat closed irregularly today with prices ranging from %c lower to %c high er. Liquidation by longs was the feature as well as the factor during the morn ing. and there was a great deal of ner vousness displayed. The market ranged about l%c above to 2%c below last night’s close. The largest trade was in July and September, with July the weakest spot on tbc list and trade yvas very large. Crop reports continued to pour into the pit and the majority of them were unfavorable Selling orders poured in from the North yvest, nut the demand was scattered. The early strength was soon lost on selling to secure profits. The selling was over done and there was a good rally late In the day on short covering Corn was irregular, final prices rang ing from %c lower to I%c higher Th* weather was reported fine for plowing and planting May corn was given special support early and was marked up as much as 2c K but dropped off later. Oats were weak and closed from un changed to %r lower under liquidation hy longs. Provisions were mainly lower on sell ing by longs and the putting out short lines. Packers gave the market some support on the price setback. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKIT. Grain quotation*) Pr*». Open. High. Low. Close. Clos*.
