TIMES NOT HMD
DESPITE DUR CRY
Conditions of Living Have
Gradually Bettered for All
Classes.
Bv B. C. FORBES
NEW YORK. May 24. Are we so ter
’ibly burdened as we arc in the habit of
trying out? Is life so full of hardships
and so devoid of pleasures as it is now
customary to bewail? Are the people
very much unhappier than they used to
be? Is their lot better or worse? Have
troubles multiplied without a correspond
ing increase in advantages? Are all our
daily and hourly complaints really well
founded ?

Or are wo suffering most from a state

Such questions forced themselves into
m\ mind Sunday as T watched the pro
cession of automobiles to and from Coney
Island and the gambols of the thousands
there and on the Brighton sands. The
line of < ars looked like an erdless snake.
The money represented was enormous.
Rut the automobiles ami their passengers
were not more interesting than the
crowds who covered the beach. DIG the
great majority of them look poverty
stricken? Not at all. Were they mani
festly unhapp? ? Far from it Did they
wear poorer clothes than would have been
seen in a similar place ten years ago?
Vssuredlj not. In short, they looked as
if the world were not so very bad a place
after all.
Now. v hen one thinks the thing over,
is if

Let us leave om of present considera

large means. Lei us take the general
body of the people. Wore the? - ever

Travel where one will among New York’s
suburb; , hundreds and hundreds of new
dwellings are springing up. Their ap

Rents arc high, wt* are constantly told
have the? gone up faster or farther than
wages during the last half-score years?
Would not one week's salar? pay the
monthl? rent of a better home than
would have been the case ten years ago?
And has it not been made much easier
to become the owner of one's home than
in th'- olden times? Or. let us ask an
other question. Do not more people own
their homes today than at any other
time since New York became a teeming
city?
Clothes are now made of inferior ma

bow man? now suits, new shops, new
hats, now overcoats and other things to

As for the women-folk, their fashions
change will: bewildering rapidity, and no
<hop girl, no stenographer, no telephone
operator seems too poor to catch up with
each movement of the procession. What

keep ahead of their maids. Then, what
of our children? Apart from the slums
where poverty is oft* n the fruit of in

Forces Him to Flee. Saving
Hat for Clew.
Mrs. J. B. Hallman, of 9 Gaskill
street. thought only of her four
months-old baby boy when attacked by
a burglar early today, and she fought
with all the power of a mother’s love
to save the child.
Although she is confined to her bed
with the injuries sustained in the bat
tle, the result of being choked and beat
en by the assailant, the young mother
smiled as she fondled the little tot and
remarked:
“It was a terrible experience—oh. eo |
terrible! —but I don’t mind it so much }
as long as my precious little darling
was not hurt. It was my fear that he
would be killed, that made me fight so
hard.”
The little fellow, to whom the mother
tenderly referred as her “dailing Al-.
belt,” was on the bed in the midst of
the encounter, and narrowly escaped
being crushed. The burglar, seizing
Mrs. Hallman by the throat, threw her
violently across the bed, and the two
fought’ for several moments over the
babyish form.
When assistance reached the pros
trate woman her first thought was o r
little Albert, and she gasped:
“See if my baby is hurt."
Mrs. Hallman might have been
choked to death had it not been for the
timely arrival of S. S. Gaily, who. Ilves
next door, and who was summoned
by the screams of her sister, Mrs. An
nie Duke.

TONE BETTER IN
COTTON MKT
Advance Due to Buying on
Expected National Ginners’
Report Monday.
NEW YORK, May 24.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady today. First prices
ranged from 1 point lower to 2 points
higher.
The opening was very quiet. but it was
soon evident that there was little cotton
for sale and a few good buying orders
started an advance. The buying looked
to come from the few who arc favorable
to the bull side, while the selling was
scattered. The general feeling on the
floor continues bearish, based on good
weather, which now prevails over the en
tire belt. A few very strong interests
here favor the bull side, believing that
the shortage in the central and eastern
belt will cut the high average in the
West, and many things can happen to
prevent a large crop
In the afternoon and up to the last
hour the market had a firm undertone,
with prices ruling 9 to JI points above
the previous close.
The market at the close was steady
net 8 to 11 points above Thursday's finals.
Spot houses were buyers in the last hour,
and some of the Waldorf crowd was re
ported as covering.
The visible supply of American cotton
decreased during the past week 151.801.
against a decrease of 111,412 last rear
and a decrease of 89.233 the year before.
Other kinds increased 3,000. against an
increase of 1.000 last year and a de
crease of 23,000 the year before. The

The New Orleans Times Democrat;
Three weeks of excellent weather has un

deal of good. It has also played the role
of tonic to the bear forces and made
them feel young and spr? and confident.
Yet close analysis shows the bear still’
dependent on future developments since,
in the aggregate, the three weeks of
good weather has not piled up an? profits
worth while. As a matter of fact, the
October delivery closed Thursda?' just 1
points lower than the price at which
trades were made in that position on
Ma? 4, while the Jul?' delivery, after all
the fuss made over it, closed at a net
W)ss under the season’s highest price of

the whole cotton world was standing
amazed at the volume of cotton pass

Thursday, when Jul?' sold, at 11.60, nine
out of ten professionals in the market
were bus?' digging up evidence of no
demand, of excellence of crop condition,
of record-breaking crop promise and over

which lopped the market for the week

CHICAGO, May 24. —The wheat mar
ket was %c to %c higher this morning
on shorts covering. The buying was led
by shorts, but there was a noticeable
demand from longs as well, pointing to
fictitious prices In order to unload some
of hte stuff held by some of these peo
ple.
Com was up %c to %c on wet weather
through lowa and Illinois, which is ex
pected to further retard planting
Oats were %c to %c better In sympa

Hog products were again higher on
shorts covering Hogs were 5c lower at
the yards
Wheat w-eak and lower, final prices
showing net losses of 1c In May. %@%c
on July and %c on September. The firm
market early on light receipts and lack
of rain in the southwest gave way sharp
ly later on reports of copious rains in
Kansas and Missouri. Long wheat came
out freely.
Corn closed with the September option
%c higher and the others unchanged. The
early advance was lost on free gelling by
the country. There was considerable
profit-taking.
Oats were irregular, final prices ranging
