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?

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.

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.” | THE WEATHER CONDITION.

STOCKS RECEDE MOM Moderate Pressure Causes an Easier Price Range After Early Advance. By CHARLES W. STORM. Nil A’ YORK.

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. Stock quotations: I Last j Clos I Prev STOCKS— iHighlLow lSaie.l Bid JCi’Bt i Amal. Copper. 84% 83% Am. lee See.. 30% 28’.. 29% 29% 28% Am. Sug.

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 creased offerings in tlte pit and a lack of cash demand CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
