Liverpool was somewhat better than rlue on futures, but quoted spots 1 point lower, and shows a decrease in sales. There was no weather map today, but an official forecast for rlomly weather tomorrow in west. Texas and Oklahoma, which would suggest that the w-est Mexi can disturbance has approached the west orn cotton belt and prospects for some rain there have increased accordingly. Some good rains fell yesterday in the eastern stales. Much publicity was given yesterday to May selling over July. This was caused by a few hundred bales covered by be iated shorts, and was not due to spot demand. European financial news is being watched closely. Germany has taken a large reserve sup ply from this crop. As mills are prettv evenly scattered over the country, and the supply is carried alrgely at the mills, if engages banks all over the country, and a financial crisis could put a general check on demand from that quarter. The Into-sight for the week looks around 54.- 000. against 52.495 last year and 81,483 In 1910. We compare mill takings this week with 177,000 bales last year and 207,000 bales in 1910.

Public Auditors and Systematizers A II AN I \ tn.l I A MPA OD-OPEOtIION 15 Mir 1 m When Capitalists Speak of It They Usually Mean Non competition. By B. C. FORBES NEW YORK. May 30. -Co-operation in ~ this country instead of being founded on the Golden Rule, is too often of the pinch beck order. It seldom rings true. It is usually one-sided. Co-operation should work, not one way; but bath ways- for the benefit of the buyer as well as the seller, for the consumer as w r ell as the producer. Here the consumer is left out of account in most cases. The capitalists who plead for co-operation instead of competition do not mean the Golden Rule kind of co-operation; they mean co-op eration only among themselves—<o pro tect themselves without any regard what ever to the poor, defenseless user of their products. Is this brand of co-operation likely to last? Does it deserve to last? Weighed in the scales <>f justice, the advantages are nearly all at one end of the beam. • • • In other lands co-operation does not mean the banding together nf the prin cipal producers or sellers of a certain class of merchandise. It means, as a rule, the organization of societies for the sup plying of goods to members and for the division of all the profits td the purchas ing members. 1 have in mind one very important concern which, from modest beginnings in the retail field, has grown into an enortnous enterprise, including w*holesale distribution, manufacturing, im porting. etc. It is a real co-operative so clety. All the profits hip distributed aniotig those who have contributed to them, not to a handful of directors or cap italists. • • • Co-operative stores are being founded in an unostentatious way in New York. I he spirit of thrift, which at last is gain ing some ground in this country, is cal culate'! 10 stimulate the movement. • • • Had not our capitalists who preach “co operation" better give some thought to what constitutes genuine, effort of that kind? Is it not time that they realized that co-operation Instituted solely for the benefit of their own class, with scant regard for the consumer, is not worthy of their better selves? Co-operation which Is only eighteen Inches when it. should be a yard long Is not anything to brag about. Bather is It a species of selfishness, selfishness on a grand scale. When capitalists combine merely to fur ther their own interests-, to so entrench themselves that they have the public at their tnercy. then, instead of bestowing unon such action the term "co-operation," a less flattering word should be used ♦ • • The anthracite producers co-operate - in the capitalistic sense of the word Well, we have just been treated to a fine specimen of their handiwork. They an aounce that they must tighten the screws upon householders because, if they at tempt to so treat the corporations, the factories, the big workshops, that con sume part of their product, competition from soft coal would he encountered! Think of it! Their unblushing plea, put in plain terms, is this: The big people, the corporate con sumers, would resent an advance In anthracite prices. They would use bituminous. Therefore, in order that we may not antagonize them, we have doubled the advance io the ordinary householder because he itas no way of escape, because he is at our merpy. No more untimely and impolite econom ic blunder lias been committed in many a day. The twenty-five cent advance does not end the matter so far as the con sumer is (’oncerr.ed. That is the addi tion made by the closely organized mine owners. How much profit the retailer will demand remains to be seen.
