' WALL STREET IS I MIGHT! FICKLE Optimistic One Day, It’s Down in the Valley of Pessimism the Next. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, .lune 6.—ls yf)U have ■ never breathed the air of Wall Street you can have not the faintest Idea of how important dvery little fluctuation tn the stock market Is—to those on the spot. If you live a hundred or a thou sand miles away, you realize that the sun does not rise and set in the New York stock exchange. Wall Street has been enjoying itself this spring. Its hopes and its quotations have soared. This, too, in spite of much turmoil and not a few concrete discour agements. . But on Friday of last week prices tum bled. Some stocks went down at the rate of a dollar an hour during the great er part of the day. And mercurial Wall Street suddenly lost its buoyancy. The heavens were surely going to fall. Now. a calm study of the things that go to create genuine prosperity does not justify this transformation in sentiment. If conditions justified high prices l for stocks a week a-go or a fortnight ago, they, should not cause a break now. Agriculture, trade, the money market and the weather are all doing very nice ly, while politics are today no worse than they were—a beautifully indefinite state ment. admittedly. Why. then, the severe relapse in stocks' 1 After. careful investigation in the right quarters, here is. the explanation ob tained : Margin Traders Attacked. The upward movement in stocks has not had general support from the strongest interests. The greatest gains have been made it) low-priced specialties. Many margin traders have been attracted. Success em boldened them to wade tn deeper. A , raid by operators not committed to the boonilet frightened weak holders, and they scurried from the scene at any cost. Rumors of financial difficulties, of the possible embarrassment* of indlvjduals or • firms or institutions were not counte nanced in responsible circles. From an "inside” source this assurance was ob tained: "Banking trouble is out of the question. Monetary conditions are sound The fluctuations in stocks are being taken too seriously. They do not represent the very important developments sometimes ascribed." So. if you read that the stock market is getting excited, do not conclude that anything terrible has happened. The. truth is that many financiers of keen judgment have not been in any way responsible for the spring advance, in stocks. These authorities have simply stood pat. Others, however, especially one or two speculative coteries, have gone ahead enthusiastically, ignoring unfavor able happenings, or. when that was im possible, belittling them. ’ Elements For a Big Scare. To some extent Wall Street has been wdiistling to keep its courage up. Quite probably the whistling will stop and some sound less cheerful will take its place before November 4. A political Scare in the stock market Is one, of the usual accompaniments of a presidential campaign And certainly there are not lacking on ,this occasion elements for a full-blooded, old-fashioned outburst. A queer incident has happened. One of America's ablest international bank ers. a power in the railroad world and a man of wide influence, has completely turned his political coat He used to be a ferfid opponent of Mr. Roosevelt—not special reason in his case. Now he wants to have Mr. Roosevelt elected president. Here are his reasons: Mr. Roosevelt is the only man In the United States able to handle and guide the revolutionary spirit that has taken possession of the country. Elect a conservative president, and the "have nots" would before long get be- * yond orderly control. The experiences of Great Britain Is a warning to America. The people must receive greater consideration, more generous treatment than In the past. If they do not get It, they are likely, sooner or later, to rise up and try to take It. Roosevelt can placate them better than any other American. Oh. yes, capitalists are not living in a fool's paradise. They are not without serious thoughts these days. They are not oblivious to the world-trend toward a fuller democracy. Some of them—un fortunately quite a huniber of them—still want to kick against the pricks, to defy the tendencies of the age. to act with an iron band and an unsympathetic heart. But eyes are being gradually opened. The stern facts are coming to be realized. "What is to be done about it?" is the question much pondered by men of large affairs. Each Triumph a New Nail. So, therefore, the financial world is not as indifferent to current political events as surface indications would lead the public to believe. Flach triumph of Mr. Roosevelt is pictured as a new nail ham hered Into the coffin of conservatism ■ Capital does not like it— of that have no * doubt. But capital, like the rest of us, must strive to make a virtue of necessity. Whatever can not be cured must be en dured. We must needs adapt ourselves I to circumstances. With this in mind, does not the inci dent here related take on very deep sig nificance? In other directions progress can be noted. The weather has been distinctly more helpful to the growing crops, it has revived courage both South and West. it has stimulated retail trade, encouraged building operations and had a sentiment al influence all over. The steel boom hds filled up tbi mills with orders, but at low prices, so that profits may continue small for the greater part of the year. Copper continues to rise; unless this movement Is kept within bounds con sumption will be Injured anti fresh trou bles may accrue Investment Is slow This single fact suggests that financial leaders are acting cautiously pending more definite ideas as to how agriculture and politics are to turn out. Mrs. W. H. George. The local chapter of United Daugh ters of the Confederacy have charge of the funeral of Mrs W. H. George. 45 + years old. who* died at her country home at Vinings Hill yesterday. Mrs. George was a member of that organi zation for a number of years. The services will be held at the city home, 156 East Pine street. CORN CLUB BOOSTERS .

The market responded to bullish operations after the cal), showing an advance of from 6 to 7 points The South is believed to have been good buyers today on excessive rains in the eastern belt and prospects for more.

June 6.—A good Liv erpool, particularly the large spot sales, total 10,000 hales, encouraged bullish feel ing here this morning, and the market advanced to 11.46 for October in the early trading. A report fro mMemphls by a prominent crop inspector saying that Ar kansas. Oklahoma and a large part of Texas are beginning to need ram. and that the. crop in Arkansas was spotted had a stimulating effect also. A good* rain fell in Montgomery and Augusta districts, elsewhere in central and eastern states showers were scat tered and mostly light, except for a heavv rain in Jackson. Miss., district, which is , considered unfavorable. The range of temperatures continues very favorable. Average for Texas 90, against 96 last year: Oklahoma 93, against 99 last year. Commissioner of agriculture for the state of South Carolina says that the most conservative figures for the eleven principal cotton-growing states show a reduction of 16 per cent In acreage, and that the crop will be about 2,500.000 bales less than last season. According to New York wir'es that mar ket is supported today on the opinion that ■there is too much rain in the eastern states. The market developed further strength after Liverpool closed on snjalled shorts covering on bullish reports from New York, news of a good spilt demand and a government forecast of further showers in the Atlantics.

At the same ratio of increase, the unfinished cycle from 1908 to 1913 should be 82,000,- 000. The productions of 1908-1909 and 1910-1911 aggregated 47,871,000 bales; that of 1.912 being 15.700,000 bales, or a total for_ five years of the six years cycle of 63,571,000.
