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 LIVE STOCK MARKET.

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 day.

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.

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.
