THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND-NEWS: TUESDAY. MAY 21. 1912.
EAST IS HOLDING
BUSINESS BACK
West Is Tugging at the Leash
and May Finally Win Its
, Struggle.
5
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. May 21 —••The West wants'
to gn ahead, the East is holding back
After spending several days in discuss
ing conditions and prospects with the
financial leaders. I am, inclined
to think the .West will win, though not
until the second half of the year is en
tered.
The progressive politics which are now
in vogue do not’frighten Westerners, but
the more conservative East would prefei
to cling to the established order. Yet
here is a sentence full of meaning from
the lips of a financier who would not be
omitted in any carefully-selected list of
America's ten ablest-men of affairs:
“The progressives, may be a few years
ahead of the times, but we must not im
agine that the .times will not catch up
to them.”
Another interesting sentiment was ex
pressed by the head of an international
banking firm which has enjoyed a high
standing and unsullied reputation for two
generations. He is a close friend of
President Taft and used to be intimate
with Ex-President Roosevelt, although,
in common with so many others, he final
ly parted company with the latter. Said
this keen observer of men and.conditions:
“Radicalism is now being preached.
But whoever is elected will be restrained
from violent action by the grave respon
sibilities which the holding of so high an
office brings Even Mr. Bryan would be
much less dangerous than he was when
he first ran* ' Political heat will by-and-by
cool." - '
Ohio Primaries Settle Nomination.
Wall Street regards the Ohio primaries
as destined tn settle the Republican nomi
nation. No concealment is attempted of
the anxiety felt over the outcome. The
crushing defeat of Mr Roosevelt is ear
nestly desired -a compliment Mr. Roose
velt might call this in view of the source
of such hopes.
Until the political sky clears, finance
and business will not run riot.
And now. leaving politics nut nf calcu
lations, what do we find? Whither is the
trend? Are agricultural. Industrial, labor
and financial conditions improving or
growing worse?
The reply, .must bo that .things are
mending, not rapidly, not sensationally,
not uniformly, yet quite .perceptibly, even
gratifj ingiy
The sudden .and severe, break in wheat,
though mainly the culmination of ag
gressive speculation, reflects in part a
better outlook on the farm. The floods
have subsided, the sbil is drying and
warm weather can not in the nature of
things be long delayed.
Important Industries Booming.
Several important industries are boom
ing. though profits are still below normal.
The demand for steel is greater than the
ehtire capacity of the country can supply
and prices are creeping upward Copper
metal is abav^rsixteen cents a pound and
being absorbed in heavy quantity. Th?
textile manufacturing industry, a very
large employer of labor and material, has
revived, and mills that owned cheap cot
ton are making money on a scale not
generally’ realized.
In other directions, however, dullness
still rules Retail trade is held back by
Unseasortably cold ‘ weather, and it is
frequently remarked by merchants that
the public* is buying ■cheaper grades of
goods-one effect, doubtless, nf the higher
cost of living
Both imports and exports merchandise
for the ten months ended with April
broke ■ all--previous records. The export
balance is -well in excess of-half a. billion
dollars.
Labor Problems Unsettled.
The labor clouds are not so black as
they were, but a recurrence of trouble is
by’ no means impossible If the arbitra
tion committee decides that railway en
gine drivers are entitled to more pay,
then other classes of railway employees
will be stirred into action, and the in
fluence upon labor in'general may be far
.reaching, fortunately coal difficulties
have been eliminated one by one. The
union leaders sensibly pocketed their
pride and made a clean breast of the
position.
Let me remark in parting that the in
creases in wages which ha\e been granted
in. many districts and in different
branches have not helped the multitudes
earning small salaries. There has been
no advance in salaries no widespread
change, a't least. The higher the wages
go. the less easy is it to live on a fixed
salary. A real pinch is felt here. With
out the strength which united action af
fords. the salaried sufferers are in nine
cases out «»f ten unable to better theii
state. Is it astonishing, therefore, that
discontent is rife?
Money Cheap; Deposits Increase.
Strictly financial banking -conditions
are Satisfactory. Money at home is
cheap, there has been no overborrowing,
bank deposits are increasing «t a re
ma'rkable Pate t $41)7,4)00,000 since this
time lasi year), and the international ex
changes are not unfavorable The Bank
of Erance has lowered its rate for dis
counting "bin#, a* stef» of the deepest sig
nificance, and though Germany is suffer
ing from, reckless speculation, influential
efforts are being exerted to remedy mat
ters.
The New York stock exchange has
moved irregularly the past week. Ad
vances in specialties have been numerous
and spectacular, but there was a slump
quite drastic enough to remind the en
thusiastic bulls that the market is ca
pable of going two ways.
Public Not in the Market.
Diligent search has failed in discover
any considerable absorption of either
stocks or bonds by the strongest inter
ests. Investment demand is negligible.
Nor are the public eagerly buying stocks.
Speculators of a daring type are the lead
ers of th? campaign for higher quotations.
Their tactics have incurred disapproval
in certain nota*ble circles, but nothing has
been done to repress the manipulation
The view taken high up is that rampant
speculation would he unhealth> at this
time Even so, however, the longer out
look affords no little encouragement for
confidence

SMALL GIINS IN
COTTON PRICES
Little of Staple Is Offered for
Sale. Causing Advance in
Face of Perfect Weather.
—.—
NEW YORK, May 21.—Steadiness pre
! vailed in the cotton market at the open
ing today, though first prices were un
changed to 5 points lower Cables were
good, although reports of continued 1 fair
weather over th? belt caused selling, the
most of which was in the late months.
Futures were firm in Liverpool’ while
spot was in good demand there.
It was evident around th? opening that
there was little cotton for sale. The ring
traders seemed to have sold about all
they had to sell yesterday <»n prospects
of good weather, and while the map
showed nothing unfavorable today, still
there was no cotton brought out ami the
market rallied with little buymg. The
feeling on the floor contjnues bearish
The Bulls are few but strong.
I Neither side was aggressive in th? aft
ernoon. but there was little cotton for
sale, which had th? effect of holding the
market very steady, prices at 2 o'clock
showing advances of from 7 to 12 points
op the active positions over the previous
close ■ *. . .
Th? close was very steady at top levels
for the day and 15 to 17 points higher as
compared with the final figures *»n Aron

HAYWARD 4 CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. May 21 Washing
ton sent the following message to the
exchange: “Expect io issue report .on
June 4 showing condition of cotton May
25 “ English consols are again '*d lower.
Liverpool came in about as due >on fu
tures, and quoted spots unchanged, but
show sales of 10,000 bales.
Our market opened -*l«wer 2 hut- -was
‘ pulled up by New York, where certain
long interests are making a strong de
fense The basis for the bulling now
seems to be anticipation of a very low
bureau condition figure. Some New York
opinions received via Texas say that the
bureau is expected as low as 50, against
87.7 last year. It must be borne in mind
that the first bureau condition report
deals-mainly with the state of land and
preparation of soil, and not with the con
dition of the plant.
A general belief In the North in a very
low condition figure is indicated by a fore
cast 'made by The New York Commer
cial of a condition of 55. Os course If
the bureau should prove that low It would
give the world the impression of crop
disaster and bull Interests are now work
ing on the expected effect,- on the mar
ket.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: The
market developments yesterday pleased
everybody but the bear speculator. The
farmer had another day of good weather;
the spinner had favorable financial re
ports. which suggest continued good
trade; the bull on cotton saw the brakes
applied contract decline. But the
bear, who; all along had counted a sell
ing wave tn follow close on the heels of
faxnrahle weather, seemed unable to
make headway. Spot sales were small,
spinners did not appear to he in the mar
ket to any important extent, and, tn so
far as surface indications went. hint
speculators did not seem to bp very ac
tively engaged. All of which brought the
talent hack to the same old starting
point. The old crop has probably been
closely sold up. and average consumption
has thereby been greatl.v accelerated.
With average consumption greatly accel
erated. the new crop outturn in doubt and
the old crop pretty well gone, the short
side of the account appears less attractive
to the average operator than the average
bear thinks it should be. In a nutshell,
the situation is this: Cotton seed planted
hurriedly under a clod will not do as well
as seed planted in a carefully prepared
SPP4I bed. With the exception of some
lather low temperatures, the weather has
been good during the past ten days, and
the farmers have* made rapid headway
with-their work in the fields.

Aggressive Support of Market
Causes Substantial Gains
After Sharp Declines.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW Y*»RK. May 31. Liquidation of
Canadian Paeifi*- for London and Berlin
accounts was the feature of the stock
market at the opening toda\. This IsSu**
opened at 261a full 3 points off from
Mondays closing. Subsequently it
dropped still further, going to 261. but at
the end <>f fifteen minutes’ trading had
rallied from its lowest range.
There was also selling of the hard coal
stock here. This was generally attrib
uted to profit-taking, as professionals had
purchased on the eve of the settlement
when these stocks were rising. Lehigh
Walley lost u, t and Reading f, H .
United States Steel common opened at
70. unchanged from the last night clos
ing The copper group was not very
active Both Amalgamated and Ameri
can Smelting were \ off at the outset.
Later they rallied.
Baltimore and Ohio was unchanged
Atchison was up ’ 4 . while Union Pacific
sustained the same amount of losses.
Th? curb was quiet and irregular.
American Railways shares in th? Lon
don market wore unsettled in tone, but
there was no speculative selling move
ment in this department There was
heavy selling of (’anadian Pacific in Lon
don.
Aggressive buying appeared in a num
ber of stocks in the late forenoon and
substantial gains were made.
*’anadian Pacific moved up I’g and a
gam of 4 points was recorded in United
Cigar Manufacturers.
Tennessee Copper was active and
st rorig.
Trading was listless in the last fifteen
minutes and the prive movement was
limited to an extremely narrow range
Later some pressure was exerted against
Reading, and that stock declined more
than I point under 174 This downward
movement induced some selling of its
stock by room traders.
The market closed steady.
Governments unchanged; other .bond*
steady.

considerable strength at the opening, and
was to ’ 2 e higher. This, in the face
of a decline at Liverpool, heavy Argen
tine and i'anadian shipments for the

wheat for sale and the expectation that
the European visible will show a consid
erable increase. Northwestern receipts
were small, while Winnipeg receipts were
large.
Corn was to higher on the small
receipts and better demand
Oats were unchanged, and the volume
of business small.
Provisions were higher on shorts cov
ering.

final prices showing net gains of 1c to
1 3 ,c. Heavy sales of flour in this mar
ket was a greai strengthening factor

was considerable evening up by shorts,
especially In the May option.
Corn closed with gains ranging from le
to I’gc. Shorts in May were eager buy
ers. There was a good investment de
mand.
Oats were 3 g c to l’,c better at the fin
ish Many of those who sold early were
