BUSINESS ETHICS
GETTING BETTER
Evolution in Minds and Morals
of High Finance Considered
Encouraging.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, May 20. -The American
fashion in money-making has changed.
It is better than it was ten years ago.
But there is still room for improvement
in some direction—the revelations con
cerning lhe wholesale foisting of ques
tionable meat upon the public, the abund
ant evidence of extortion in marketing
farm products in this city of New York,
the disclosures of * crookedness in high
judicial places all prove this. Yet a calm
survey of the situation is not wholly dis
heartening. Intimate knowledge of the
evolution that has taken place in the
minds and morals of high finance is posi
tively encouraging.
♦ • •
That honesty is the best policy has
been brought home to so many men of
prominence that the opposite theory now
has comparatively few —note the qualify
ing word “comparatively'’—supporters.
♦ • ♦
Expediency rather than principle may
have been responsible for the change in
many cases. While it is true that men
can not be made honest by legislation,
they may be frightened from dishonesty
by vigorous punitive laws. For my part
I am disposed to attribute the hetterment
in conduct more to conscience than to
coercion, although some may hold a dif
ferent view. 1 know from daily experi- j
ence that in not a few instances men of
note who have been in no wise impli
cated in any of the latter-day corporate
scandals today feel more kindly toward
the masses (to use an ugly word) than
they did when the present century
opened. There has been a genuine reali
zation of lhe elemental fact that, after
all. one man is entitled to as much con
sideration as another so long as he does
not willfully forfeit his birthright. Os
course it were idle to deny that this real
ization lias been hastened in the upper
circles by its realization lower down the
social scale.
« « •
The things that are considered worth
while today were, some of them, but
lightly regarded a few years ago. This
is especially true of the financial world.
The futility, the final unprofitableness of
base dealing is less of an idealistic theory
than formerly.
A number nf people were the other day
discussing two of their neighbors. “W hich
is the richer'?'' some one asked The
point was quickly settled- as far as dol
lars and cents went. But what a contrast
was drawn between the life of the two.
Before it ended the richer man was, by
common consent, voted a pauper, lhe
other rich in the things that go to make
life worthy and enjoyable In the best
sense. Shall 1 outline the character and
conduct of each? Perhaps to do so may
j not be amiss in commenting upon money-
I making and how it is now regarded.
The one rich in dollars works, on an
average, fifteen hours every day. has
never taken a week's vacation in thirty
or more years, has not allowed sickness
to keep him from business a single day,
no matter how ill he felt, and has never
indulged in any kind of hobby . He goes
straight from his home to his business
six or seven days every week, knows
none of his neighbors intimately, never
takes his wife out and has but indifferent
control over his family they have little
opportunity to cultivate his own employ
ees. and consequently has become some
what arrogant and heathenishly narrow’
in his views, lie is obsessed by business,
business, business All else is sacrificed.
He takes no pleasure in the companion
ship of either children or adults. He is
unloved and unlovable, a machine rather
than a human being.
♦ • ♦
The other man is endowed with quite
as good brains, holds a responsible posi
tion. attends strictly to business for a
reasonable number of hours daily, but
contrives to take a leading part in vari
ous activities. He has been showered
with honors by several fraternal and
benevolent societies, he has labored ag
gressively for municipal (and especially
local) improvements, his advice has bfeen
at the disposal of others less gifted. All
this has not prevented him from accom
panying bis family to social functions or
to the opera and other entertainments
which appeal to their musical taste. Ho
knows most of the residents of his neigh
borhood and enjoys a quite unusual meas
ure of popularity. Unlike the other man.
he. wears a smile instead of a long, mo
rose face. His companionship is sought
rather than avoided. He-is not a stran
ger to his own children. In short, he ful
fills all ihe duties of citizenship and adds
something byway of a bonus to hu
manity.
* * ♦
Which, think you. is the richer? The
rich man or the relatively poor one?

AFTER DECLINE
Part of Loss, Caused by Weak
Opening, Is Recoevred in
• Late Trading.
_—
NEW’ YORK. May 20. Reports of » <>n
tinued fair weather over lhe southern belt
caused the cotton market to open 4 to
10 points lower today. The lone was
barely steady. New crops were th< weak
est. Local sentiment was bearish. Liver
pool was a fairly large buyer on the de
cline. Later the list was irregular.
The weather map was favorable and
the market sold on opening from all sides,
which was not unexpected, as the feeling
is now very bearish about the floor on
more favorable reports from the belt and
the continued good weather. Eleven
cents is freely talked for October. Still
there is good buying on all declines by
strong people who believe we are near
‘the bottonv until we know more about
crop conditions and the acreage. Some
of the larger operators are advising
friends to buy present prices,
as they might miss the market should
we get any unfavorable new’s. The ring
is short and a good rally would be easily
brought about.
A rally of 3 to 7 points above the low
levels was noted at the beginning of the
last hour, due to buying of good charac
ter.
Al the close lhe market was steady a!
8 points lower to 1 point higher than the
closing figures of Saturday.
Following from agricultural depart
ment: “Expect to issue report on June
4, showing condition of cotton up 10 May

Os the Fleecy Staple
Selling was heavy at the opening of :
the market, but there was some very’
good buying on the decline. Some of •
the local weather experts say there may
be rain in the West. The ring is short
and the market should react.
Habersham King, in his report, said:
“'l’he week has been very' satisfactory.
With every indication of clearing weath
er a general rain appeared on the 10th
and 11th. Since then, with no distinct
| storm formations, there have been gen
i eral showers, presenting a very' threat
j ening condition, although the results have
been favorable to 70 per cent, a stand
off as to 15 per cent and unfavorable only
as to 15 per cent; that is to say, parts
of Louisiana and Arkansas.”
Dallas. Tex., wires: “Texas and Okla
homa clear and pleasant.”
McFadden, Hicks and McCormick said
to be the best buyers. 'l’he ring against
market, and sell it on rallies.

NEW ORLEANS. May 20. Hayward &
Clark: Weather map perfect. Fair in
the entire belt except partly cloudy in
northwest Texas: ru» rain anywhere in
belt. Temperatures perfect around 64
even in Oklahoma. Indications are for
fair in the belt, except cloudy’ and pos
sibly some showers in Oklahoma or north
ern Arkansas.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat, in
its summary of the situation Sunday
morning, says:
“At the week-end the cotton market de
veloped new easiness. The weather was
goo»l, spot markets were lower, and the
bear talent encouraged in the hope that
enough is true of what the big crop peo
ple are saying to clear the future of a
premise of crop disaster. The big crop
people say tha I the absence of cold
weather and the presence of moisture in
lhe soil are rapidly working wonders in
changing an abnormally unfavorable crop
condition into a normally favorable one.
Some even go so far as to express the
belief that rapid germination this year
has made the crop in some sections ear
lier than last year, when germination
was slower, though preparations for
planting were earlier and better. This
sort of gossip tells on the temper of the
rings when the weather is good and the
bull talent is standing aside.
I “Heretofore reactions upward have
come on the heels of every dip. Then,
| however, the market was in very close
juxtaposition to a very lengthy period
■of extremely bad weather, and in close
touch with steady spot markets all over
the bell. At the week-end. the bull ap
peared somewhat more dependent on an
early return of bad weather to strengthen
the resistance to declines than has been
since the beginning of the year.
“on the other hand, the friend of the
staple adheres to the belief that the
crop of 1911 has been fully’ sold, that the
backset given the new crop is not fully
appreciated, that the bulge in the supply
is more apparent than real, and that im
portant and permanent declines are not
at all probable. Nevertheless, on the
surface of things, the market, for the
lime being at least, must depend more
upon such inherent strength as the actual
bale can develop during rapid shrinkage
of stocks than upon speculative endeavor,
unless the New York hull crowd should
again take hold in a vigorous manner.”

Moderate Pressure Causes an

Early Advance.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
Nil A’ YORK. May 20.--Settlement of
the labor troubles in the anthracite coal
fields resulted today in pronounced <
strength in the stocks of the hard coal
dealers at the opening of the stock mar
ket. Lehigh Valley opened I l s higher,
while Reading was up 1 Erie common
gained l 4 Strength in this department
influenced the entire list and the general
tone was strong.
There was also considerable activity
in Interboro Metropolitan trai tion, first
sales recorder at 21U and a gain
of ’k over Saturday's closing.
United States Rubber was the strong
est of the specialties, advancing 1 3 g to
6\.
'l’he copper group was firmer, and a gain
of 4 was registered in United States Steel
coin mon.
Canadian Pacific was in fair demand,
opening up. Southern Pacific also was
active, its gain being U. other gains
were Missouri Pacific Ifi*.1 fi *. Amalgamated
Copper s «, and American Smelting ’ 4 .
'l’he curb market was quiet and steady.
Americans were the firmest section of
the Ijondon market. Canadian Pacific de
clined in London and then rallied.
The majority of active issues receded
under moderate pressure in the late fore
noon. The Copper stocks reflected ex
cessive supply. Amalgamated yielding I
point. The same lack of vigor was
shown in the traction issues. Fractional
losses were sustained in Sled common
and several of the important issues. A
number of specialties. however. were
strong.
Sharp recessions were made in some
of the stocks in the last hour. The range
of trading was so narrow and the demand
so limited that small selling orders
caused comparatively large declines.
Many issues were heavy and the tone
was listless.

CHICAGO. May 20. Wheat opened this
morning with a weaker tone and with
prices ranging from > B c to ’.ic lower
Favorable weather, easy cables and larger
world’s shipments than usual, coupled
with encouraging crop advices, were the
influences. Free offerings and lack of
demand caused the market to turn very
weak, and prices sagged off 1c to Hi’c
further on free offerings and lack of de
mand. There was a rather bearish
French crop report.
Corn was unchanged to ',c and v 2 c low
er, on increased offerings, larger world's
shipments than looked for and a big in
creased amount on ocean passage.
Oats were %c to *)c lower on improved
crop conditions.
Provisions were lower all around on the
break in the price of hogs at the yards
ami continued llqiildatlon by longs.
While wheat showed some reactionary
power toward the end of the session and
there were advances ranging from 'i to
!’» in tiie various options from bottom
prices, final prices showed losses of-% to
11, from Saturday’s close. A fresh out
burst of liquidation and stop loss selling
was tl>e weakening factor. Profit-taking
by shorts and buying on resting orders
caused the reaction.
Corn closed to "sc lower Stop loss
selling was on a big scale today and the
absence of demand to absorb the oerings
resulted in lower prices.
Oats closed c <, to I'jc lower Trade was
somewhat smaller.
Provisions were sharply lower on in
