COST BF LIVING
Bumper Crop Expected to Bring
Material Reduction in Cost
of Food Products.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, May 29. Good news can
be conveyed to the American family.
Prices of all kinds of meat, as well as
butter, milk and cheese should come
down. Articles of clothing made •from
cotton should also move in the same di
rection, while if woolens do not decline
the public will have reason to feel cha
grined over the outcome of tariff revi
sion.
What crop, think you. ranks next in
value to King Corn? Cotton? No.
Wheat? Not at all It Is hay. The Wall
Street breed of farmer seldom realizes
this. , Indeed, city dwellers hear so. little
abojit this inconspicuous product that
they do not grasp how intimately it af
fects their household bill. This year's
t grass rop promises to pass all records.
, thanks to the abundance of moisture.
Now. w ith an abnormal supply of green
grass and hay. the farmer will be able to
plenty of cattle to supply all do
mestic requirements and the needs of for
eign customers.
You will recall—if you have anything
'to do with household accounts —that every
time the butcher adds a few cents more
to’ his charge for meat he lays all the
blame at the door of Nature—"there is a
great scarcity of fodder, owing to the
drouth." he conveniently explains. The
same reason is given when butter and
milk soar skyward. Hence, it should—and
no doubt will follow that a bumper crop
of grass spells lower prices for these com
modities of every-day use.
Sunshine Will Bring Harvests.
Teotnan service has latterly been ren
dered the United States by King Sol. y
few weeks of such feather as has recently
been enjoyed will work wonders in creat
ing agricultural wealth, upon which our
prosperity so largely depends. IVet us
have harvests of unprecedented size, and
no amount of political wrangling will hold
the country back, at least not in the
near future, although the political por
tends are. grave enough to cause capital
to pause.
The extreme desirability of more gen
erous yields of farm products will be
realized when It is noted that while food
stuffs show an increase of less than two
per cent for the last decade, the rise in
value has been some 80 per cent. Popula
tion has gone up 27. pep cent, in the same
period. . ,
Financiers are striving heroically to re
main unmoved by the political storms
now raging. But their equanimity does
not mean indifference. One morning
there will pjobably be a real old-fash
loned scare, and then security values will
temporarily tumble headlong.
Outlook Politically.
Wall Street can not foresee the outcome
of the present many-sided struggle. But
here is one financial reading of the situa
tion :
- If President Taft receives the Republi-
nomination. Mr. Roosevelt will found
a new party, and the split will result In
If. on the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt wins
at Chicago and the Democrats select a
. worthy leader, a close fight Is expected.
No confidences are betrayed by saying
that Wall Street believes Mr. Roosevelt's
hark is much worse than his bite would
actually be If elected. N.or Is. capital,
after its.experience with the Republicans
during the last ten years, greatly afraid
of Democratic rule.
The truth 'is. that many of America's
strongest men of affairs are veering round
to the view, already forced upon British
employers, that the people will not rest
satisfied until the relations ifetween capi
tal and labor, between the rich and the
poor, have undergone substantial modifi
cation. A more equitable distribution 'of
profits, a rearrangement of taxation, less
discriminatory tariff schedules are among
the demands that will not be silenced.
Day of the Progressives.
For good or for evil—and surely it is
for good—"progressive" legislation is
being forced upon the statute books, not
only of this country, but of the most en
lightened nations of Europe. .Certain far
sighted capitalists are now urging their
colleagues not to throw themselves-vainly
against the tide, but rather to endeavor,
by fair means, to direct the, tide into, le
gitimate and non-ruinous channels.
Business is doing a. little better. The
warmer weather has stimulated purchas
ing of goods at retail. Prospects of boun
teous crops are causing the railroads to
order enormous quantities of material,
and prices are a shade higher in one or
two lines. Traffic even now is of heavy
volume, but net earnings are not cor
respondingly satisfactory.
Railway firemen in the East and freight
handlers in the West are agitating for an
advance In wages, and the selection of ar
bitrators for the Eastern engine drivers'
dispute has had to be passed.up to gov
ernment officials. Labor troubles, there
fore. are not an impossibility.
Anthracite Producers Gain.
•y Anthracite producers have simply
thrown the burden of the increase in
wages upon the defenseless public. In
ter —they have gone further; they, have
added a few million dollars extra, so they
are better off than under the old sched
uler It is naively explained that the ad-
T dltlrina) twenty five cents a tort can not
bo levied upon certain sizes, as there
would be competition from bituminous
coal, but the householder, cornered, must
use anthracite, and must nay whatever
price the producers please to name.
In face of the fortunes the anthracite
Interests have been piling up for years,
would they not better reconsider their
action' Such conduct is not conducive to
harmonious relations between the "haves '
and the "have nets.”
The stork market's irregular movements
are a fairly accurate reflex of current sen
timent. Bonds are not easily distributed
—really distributed—that is. as distinct
from merely "placed.”

Feeding of Boys in Public
School Scandalous. Says
Woman Reformer.
LONDON. May 29. —Great interest
has been aroused among public school
masters and parents all over the coun
try by the question of the alleged in
adequate or improper feeding of public
school boys, which is to come up. for
discussion at the National Food Re
form association's conference at the
Guildhall on Monday next.
Mrs. M. H. Bailey, the wife of the
vicar of-Christ church, Forest Hill, who
has made a special study of English
public school education and life, is con
vinced’ that the entire system Is over
ripe for reform, and makes a sweeping
indictment of the food .provided at the
average school.
Too Little Food and R®st.
"The public school boy has not only
too much, exercise and too little rest."
said Mrs Bailey yesterday, "but he
does not reqeive sufficient food for the
physical'and mental work required of
him.
"The plentiful table of his earlier
years, which he needs even more when
at school, is a thing of the past. His
breakfast Is meager, while his dinner
is insufficient, generally of poor quality
and lacking in nutrition, and too often
composed of made-up dishes, with a
minimum"of greefi vegetables and an
essence ’of fresh fruit, which are so
essential, fqr the purity of his blood.
"The substantial meal about 7 o'clock
that hi't- sisters almost invariably enjoy
at their schools Is nearly always lack
ing in his case.
12 Cents a Meal With Profit.
"Wha,t can. you. expect,, however."
Mrs. Bailey continued, “when at some
of, our public. schools the bursar re
ceives a percentage for keeping down
the bill’s below a’ certain sum, while in
others twelve cents is the recognized
bursar's allowance for a boy’s break
fast and tea, including his own profits?
"I make no plea for luxuries In the
way of eating, merely for ■ .the four
square meals a day, which any healthy,
growing boy can Comfortably put away,
and which are amply paid for by his
parents. No gardener brings a flower
or fruit to perfection by stinting it of
moisture, nourishment and, sunshine.
“The feeding of boys at public
schools today is. I consider, nothing
short of a scandal.” , .
PANIC AS LINERS
GRASR NEAR LAND
NEW YORK. May 29 —The Porto.
Fflcim linei- Berwind, outward bound,
today rammed the French line stram
slifp Hudaon' coming in from Bordeaux,
about a. mile off Sixty-ninth street,
Brooklyn, tearing a big hole in the
port bow of the Hudson.
Eighty-one persons, many of them
women. w.ho were on board the Hud
son. remembering the Titanic-disaster,
were thrown into a panic when the
crash occurred. They rushed up on
deck in scant attire, begging for life
boats to be lowered, and it was with
difficulty that members of the crew re
strained some from leaping overboard.
Meantime Captain G. David had
pointed the Hudson's nose toward the
Long Island railroad docks at the foot
of Sixty-fifth street, Brooklyn, and was
proceeding ahead at full speed. He
did not kijow what damage had been
done to the Hudson and was taking no
chances on having her sink’
A strange .feature of the collision,
which will be investigated, is that it
occurred in clear weather and that
Captain David saw the Bern ind when
she was some distance away. He be
lieves that Captain Christopher of the
Berwind misunderstood his signal or
obeyed it’too late.
The Porto Rican boat shot straight
ahead to the Hudson's bow and then
came the.crash —a crash that threw
some of the French liner's passengers
out of their berths. A hole six feet
square was torn»in the Hudson's bow.
well above the water line.
N 6 waf^r'was talien in by'the Hud
son, but Captain David did not wait to
investigate the damage. . He made for
the nearest landing place.

Louisiana- Overflowed lands ate the
cause for many districts reducing acre

dency to increase quite liberally. On ac
count of so much rain and cool nights,
condition Is rather Tow. Plants are small
and stands popr. Some replanting has
been necessary, and the soil has been

rains are needed is some portions of the
belt, yesterday's small reaction upward
was probahlv due more to the narrow
ness of the market and to the current
practice of buying on declines than to
anv recognized change in the general
crop situation Business would be en
couraged by a further decline, that is,
new crop business would, since exporter?,
almost without exceptionfl admit the pos
session of information that leads them to
believe the consumers of the world now
require very little additional encourage
ment to make buyers of them. It la not
to be expected that spinners, in the near
future, will .provide all of their new sea
son requirements, but that they win be
gin to buy seems very reasonable, in view
of thetr knowledge that not a bale of Hie
16.000.000-bale crop has gone' begging. At
the moment the spot markets are very
quiet There Is no pressing demand and
there is some cotton for sale. But sellers
are not at all inclined to make conces
sions. and assert that they could do busi
ness with verv little effort. Meanwhile
the-halting habit of the : price .tendency
keeps bull and bear alike on the anxious
seat. Most everybody, expects a further

the bear : later on. ■

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEM’ ORLEANS, May 29. Although
weather developments overnight were fa
vorable. there was a marked scarcity of
sellers here this morning/and prices ad
vanced on straddle buying, while Liver
pool showed easiness. The difference be
tween the markets Invites buying on our
side and selling in Liverpool.
Bullish control is hardly disputed at th<*
moment, as -bears realize that’ we are still
too far off from a positive assurance of
a full crop, and the market therefore
advances easily whenever buying develops
for any cause.
The report of The Journal of Com
merce on .Mississippi is unfavorable. The
sudden ehatfge' from excessive rains to
dry weather is corn plained of and the need
of rain is pointer) out. The report on
Louisiana is somewhat better. Good rains
fell in Mississippi and Louisiana over

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. May 29.—Canadian I’a- I
cific led in a gencTai upturn at the open- |
ing of the stock market today. It was
3 3 4 over last, night's closing This was]
chiefly due to Berlin and Tx>ndon buying. !
’l’he effect of a Roosevelt victory in New I
Jersey had been discounted. It had no |
appreciable effect upon the market. Buy
ing from Europe was -the chief factor. -
Prospects of a government investiga
tion nf the proposed increased of
anthracite coal had no appreciable effect.
Reading gained S Erie common opened
unchanged, but advanced
The coppers were flrm. American
Smelting was up % and Amalgamated
Copper rose I’nited States Steel was
another flrm issue, gainins: An-
other gains were; Steel preferred
Erie preferred Atchison Union Fa
clfl<* •>. Missouri Pacific % and Southern
Railway
The curb was steady.
Americans in London were steady, and
made gains over New York parity
Trailing late in the forenoon was heavy.
Rock Island collaterals declined 1%. caus
ing some urgent selling in Rock Island
preferred, which dropped 2 points, and a
loss of.|p R was recorded In the common
«to£k. Fractional -recessions were sus
tained in Lehigh Valley and Reading
The luterhorough MelrnpoUxan JswjeH
were weak.
J There was a cessation of pressure late
! in the afternoon, but the undertone con
tinued dull. A few of the Issues rallied
: from the lower range. Room traders
bought the Important railroads and in
dustrials in the belief that a rally was in
' order. This buying was the only fea
' lure.
'Fhe market closed irregular.
‘ Governments unchanged, other bonds
irregular.
