HERE'S THE TALE
OF J RARE BIRD
Queer Old Gentleman. Distrust

NEW YORK. May IS This is just n

It has a quite unusual flavor Some may
think it comes only from my Imagination

He might have been « model for one of
..Davenporttypical I nole Sams. He was
older, perhaps, than the specimen com
monly port raved And his beard was
more stubborn; it didn’t fall from the
chin, but stood out almost at right an
gles with his fare, betokening aggressive
ness The linos on the face were sn deen
that they recalled visions of rock-ribbed,
parched mountains of deserts and pene
trating sandstorms of much sweat under
fl burning sun. His whole appearance
was suggestive of a life lived in a semi
cultivated region
When he stepped into the Wall Street
office he attracted immediate attention.
Ruch visions are rare >n financial circles,
and rarer still n that office

“What do you think of Canadian I’a
cilic.’” was his next qtierx
"H's not the worst thing on the list,”
he was assured half jocularly.
“By heck. That’s what I think myself.
Give me five shares."
♦ ♦ •
With that, he pulled from his inside
foil pocl.f t a roll of bills as thick as
a phonograph cylinder and proceeded to
tear <»ff fifties and twenties.
”1 always pax cash," he remarked, as
h<* counted into the hundreds.
The newspaper men saw that their
visit'ir thought he had come to a place
where ho could give an order for stocks, j
table the price and walk off with the
certificates in his pocket They instruct
ed him how to go about making his in
vestment. and he went off. That was
two or three years ago

The other day he returned "Hello,
how's our Pacific friend?” was
the greeting lie received “So you re
member mo, oh" I iii purty well, thank
and doing puriv well, too.” Then
i }<o told his stnry His live shares had
I grown to more than fifty, and Ins profits
were between $4,000 and $5,000! Hr could
not have picked a hotter slock had he
poiscssod supernatural foresight

Rut what followed was what spices the
incident with a flavor all its own. Here
was his extraordinary’ philosophy:
"I haven't any faitii in your banks 1
wouldn't trust 'em with a dollar of my
money out of the of Brooklyn Just two
weeks before it busted a narrow escape,
eh, lads' 71 No banks are not safe I put
all my money in stocks. Canadian Pa
cilic isn't the only good one I’ve got.
There are more of the same kind Keep
away from banks, say 1. and buy stocks.
The stork exchange doesn't close its
(loot s.”
Distrustful of banks, but full of faith
in stocks! Surely a rara avis.

hat's the best feller to buy now.
hoys?” he asked "1 have a few more
dollars ready for the market What about
this here trading on margin I hear ’em
talking about?” He was assured that a
man who could select Canadian Pacific at
165 and we it soar a hundred dollars a
share did not need any advice on picking
winners As for marginal trading he was
told it was an express track to bank
ruptcy in most rases. So he decided to
abide by his old rule of paying cash and
pulling its dividends.

HAYWARD &. CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
XRW ORLEANS. May 18 The weath
er continues ideal for field operations.
The map shows fair over the entire belt,
except partly cloudy over a small por
tion of Texas. No rain except a sprinkle
tn Oklahoma city. There was a further
rise of 10 degrees In temperature In the
Western states, anti north Texas and Ok
lahoma show a minimum of 62 to 66 de
grees, which is right Night tempera
tures were somewhat low In the central
anti Eastern states, but Indications point
to rapid warming up over Sunday In
dications generally are for fair and
warmer weather, except possibly increas
ing cloudiness In the western portion of
the bell, with no prospects, however, of
any rain of consequence.
Liverpool was disappointing, coming 1
to 2 points lower than due on futures,
and I point better on spots. The stock
of American cotton is 1,280.000. against
810,000 last vear The Bremen stock Is
589,000. against 196.000 The Havre stock
Is 309,000, against 243.000, and the stock
afloat lor Europe is 352.000. against 174,-
000 American cotton.
'till- market lost about 14 points in the
oarlv trading. Fear of the power of the
nulling Interest in New York Is still a
prominent factor, inasmuch as It causes a
searcitv of sellers The market Is narrow
and responds quickly either to buying or
selling. It broke further in the second
hour. October selling to 11 36 on weakness
in New York Professional news from
there reports bull operators as rather dis
appointed nt the poor response of the
market during the past few days. -The
steady decline 111 English consols during
this week Is brought in connection with
recent news from London that the coun
try Is threatened with the possibility of
another coal strike. The announcement
in today s press by .the president of the
Freight Handlers union tn Chicago that
a general strike throughout the country
will be ordered attracted attention. The
market next week depenlls principally on
the weather. Warmer weather Is a cer
tainty and should there be no disturbing
rains' prices are likely to show further
concessions.
