16 MILLIONAIRES-- W THEY ARE Very Much Like Other People. Few Are Looked Upon as “Undesirable Citizens.” By B. C. FORBES. NKIV YORK. June 7—" What sort of men are your Wall Street mlHonalres?” I was asked the other day "How long is a railroad journey?" I felt like replying, but didn’t. Instead. I merely said: "Very much like other peo ple." "But aren't they horribly uncouth? I always thought they were terribly uncul tured—and worse. ” “Not at all." I replied In defense of a much-maligned class "Rome of them are among the finest men tn America. "You surely do not mean that? Do they really possess a full measure of the vir tues*’ I assured the questioner that, taking them as a class, they did. • • • •'TOaJI Street millionaires’ are net all a park of biped wolves seeking whom they may devour The majority are not even undeatrabla rfHsene. • • • The term "Wall Street" la more elastic than a rubber band It embraces any th!ng--1n the popular Imagination—from the get-rich - thievishly fraternity, who never see Wall Street to the strongest of our financiers and banking Institutions. "Wall Street millionaires" Include alike the specyaular speculators who have mads fortunes in sheer gambling and the most conservative of our bankers and local capitalists. How many men have made—ant re tained—millions solely through stock specnla-tlon" Take the number that has sprung to your mind and divide 1t by a hundred, and If a whole hundred stfll re mains. do some more dividing. Note that I said solely" through stock speculation. Men like John W Gates- -a typical Wall Street mflllonalre of the fiction writer’s brand -had to be more than gamblers and had to do more than buy and sell stocks In order to get where they did Before he blew Into Wall Street Gates had earned the ramrtatmn of being the best salesman tn the Itnlted States He knew how to make nails and pull wire—the genirfne article—better than any expert In the business And having made supplies he knew how to sell them He was thus no nonentity, no brainless cypher Rut hta famous rtffer to "bet you a million" was remembered, while his real achievements tn the field of industry were quickly for gotten—if they were ever known —by the public. Not orfe "Wall Street millionaire’' of the most criticised pattern will be found devoid of special ability In some direction or other The self-made ones who stay millionaires are not fools Very few of them are knaves, either. • • • The trouble In that the crazy exploits of the few besmirch the reputation of the many. And of course when a Wall Street plutocrat runs amuck It makes a spicy front-page story. In one hour at a Monte Carlo table Charles M Schwab earned more unpleasant notoriety than years of amazing achievement In steel making could combat. It drove him, in a sense, from the presidency of the greatest indus trial organization In the world, the bil lion dollar Steel corporation. Sinoe then he has done bigger things than any other steel worker in the United States, but nine people In ten would, on hearing Schwab's name mentioned, recall the Monte Carlo Incident and let the rest pass « • • I have never met a more generous, a larger-hearted set than "Wall Street mil lionaires.” Even the worst of them have the redeeming virtues of generosity and charity They practice these virtues, too, on a scale the public can not Imagine. • • • On the other hand, there are a feu black sheep in the "Wall Street million aire" fold The most rapid-fire swearer I have ever encountered Is one of our very prominent traction magnates And bls vocabulary betrays him as being what he really is Then others admittedly could not write Greek poetry or rival Caesar or Cicero as Latin writers Rut that Is their misfortune rather than their fault Quite a few of them do their best to make up for what they missed They try hard to develop a taste for and an appreciation of art and music. They spend lavishly in encouraging and culti vating the refinement of life The) may know more about Reading than about Rembrandts. but when they get away from the one they do often try to be come acquainted with the other • • • Then there Is another and more nitmer ons class of "Wall Street mfllonafres " Men of the Morgan, Speyer. Seligman, Kahn, Barton Hepburn, Levi F. Morton caliber need no apologies on the score of Culture Not a few of the finest Intel lects In the country find their sphere of activity in "Wall Street Mixing the good with the bed. the re sulting composite ‘Wall Street million aire" Is not such a worthless, disreput able. dishonest character as Is too often misrepresented.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1912 . COTTON HALLIES ; FROM BID START 1 3 Opens Lower on Disappointing Cables—Heavy Buying Fol > lows Unfavorable Report. i NEW YORK. June 7.—The cotton mar ket opened steady today with first prices 2 points higher to 2 points lower Cables , were not quite up to expectations and I Southern weather was such that bull op , erators had great difficulty in sustaining I the market. Shortly after the call the prices were bid up about 10 points. Futures and spot were quiet In Liv- 1 erpoqj While the opening was rather quiet, the buying after the call was aggressive and the advance was rapid. There was cover ing of shorts and some buying for long - account based on excessive rains in the eastern belt Those who bought early be came sellers at above 11.50 for October. The feeling about the floor Is that the ad vance came too quick, and the market Is now due for a reaction. At 2 o’clock the market was quiet with prices 4 to 7 points below the morning’s ton levels. In the last hour prices eased off on liquidation, due to prospects for clear ing weather in the eastern belt, the close being barely steady, June 2 points higher, and the balance 1 to 2 points lower than Thursday’s cmslng quotations. The world's visible supply of American cotton decreased during the week 180,654, against a decrease last year of 138,495 and a decrease of 131,912 the year before.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. June 7.—English con sols show a further decline s>f 3-16 d. Liverpool came In disappointing, with fu tures about 3 points lower than due. and spot sales small; total 5.000 bales at 9 points higher. The market, however. Immediately followed this morning's ad vance in New York and closed 9 points higher on the day. Notwithstanding the poor response of Liverpool, the market opened a few points higher, and advanced rapidly to 11.65 for October The advance was based al together on the strength in New York, fear of a further push there, causing a scarcity of sellers; also in anticipation of bullish comparisons of mill takings In this afternoon s statement The market eased somewhat in the sec ond hour on the forecast of showers for northwest Texas and Oklahoma, but trad ing is small. The strength shown by the bull element In New York has scared the outside trading to such an extent that sellers are very scarce Shorts have been forced to cover and the technical situation Is such that long liquidation Is accomplished without having an ad verse effect Toward the close yesterday realizing by a small long line caused a drop of 5 points.

San Antonio, Texas, wires; Recent showery weather resulting In many re ports of the early appearance of insects. Numerous complaints of damage by grasshoppers 801 l worms also putting in appearance. Most serious reports are weevils. These pests are now working on early cotton in this immediate vicin ity. A reliable planter with fifteen hun dred acres of the earliest cotton In the county surprised all cotton people here today by producing stalks showing nearly all bolls, which are still small, to have been punctured, and many contained grub. Impossible yet to state the extent of the weevil appearance, as most cotton Is too small for their activity. New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat: While some of the talent place the responsibil ity for yesterday’s advance on the weath er, the weather probably had nothing whatever to do with it. As a matter of fact, the weather continued favorable, but the volume of spot business was lim ited absolutely to tne offerings. Almost without exception there Is a period of good weather sometime during the spring This year during an unbroken period of four months the weather was as bad as it cotild have been, and when clear skies came early in May shorts soon felt so good over the contrast that they encour aged themselves to believe a monster crop in 1912 was assured Dominated by this Influence, others sold contracts, thereby adding to the existing short interest, which, at the beginning of May, was large enough for all practical purposes.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW Y'ORK, June 7.—Canadian Pacific I scored the biggest movement at the open- I ing of the stock market today, declining: to This downward activity was ' largely due to the liquidation, which took place in Canadian Pacific in the London market before the local exchange opened A lower level was established in a num ber of stocks at the outset, although traders could alight upon anything in the overnight news to call for depression. Erie common yielded 1 point, going to 34%, while Missouri Pacific sustained the same amount of loss, declining to 37. Union Pacific and Lehigh Valley were sold, losing % as a result. After fifteen minutes of trading sev eral issues rallied. Lehigh was one of these, gaining % above the amount of its early decline. The market tone was steady. United States Steel opened % lower, but later rallied. Amalgamated Copper, which was notable for Its strength yes terday, sold off a point, but later showed some recuperative power. The curb was dull. Americans in I.ondon were firm. The tone in the late forenoon was steady and a number of important rail roads and Industrials made substantial gains. Ix>hfgh Valley and Canadian Pa cific moved up more thaji a point each. There was a shade of falling off In demand in the last hour and price move ments in nearly jail the important is sues moved to IcAver levels. There was some show of strength In the specialties. 0 Beet Sugar advanced to 74, a gain of T! points for the day.

Wheat—No. 2 red Corn 76(a) 77 Oats CHICAGO, June 7.—Smaller receipts of wheat in the Northwest and lighter Ar gentine shipments, together with higher markets abroad and a good demand for cargoes, were the strengthening influ ences in wheat this morning, prices rul ing is to %c better. Offerings in the pit were small. Rains were reported in many sections of Kansas and Nebraska. Corn was up about on buying by shorts, small offerings in the pit and the excellent cash demand that has prevailed for several days. Oats were s 8 to higher and firm, with shorts buying. While the hog market was 5c higher at the yards, provisions were barely sus tained. The wheat market closed at advances of for the day. During the last half of the session brokers acting for the Armour grain company attempted to buy some July wheat, and this was a sig nal for the entire trade to take the buy ing side and prices displayed consider able strength in consequence. The offer ings seemed to dry up on the improved buying Corn closed higher, more be- cause of the light offerings than of anv urgency in the demand. Oats were ’A(Q%c higher, with shorts good buyers.
