NILLIONK-
WHATTHEY ARE
Very Much Like Other People.
Few Are Looked Upon as
“Undesirable Citizens.”
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. June 7.—" What sort of
men are your Wall Street mllionalres?” 1
was asked the other day.
"How long is a railroad journey?” I
felt like replying, hut 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 n
ktuch-maligned class. "Some of them are
among the finest men in 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.
• « •
•*Watl Street millionaires’ are not nil a
pack of biped wolves seeking whom they
may devour. The majority are not even
undesirable citizens.
• • •
The term "Wall Street” Is more elastic
than a rubber band. It embraces any
thing—in the popular Imagination—from
the get-rlch-thlevishly fraternity, who
never see Wall Street to the strongest of
our financiers and banking institutions.
"Wall Street millionaires” Include alike
the spectaular speculators who have made
fortunes In sheer gambling and the most
conservative of our bankers and local
capitalists.
How many men have made —and re
tained—millions solely tn.ough stock
speculation 7"' Take the number that has
eprutyp’tb your mind and divide “ by a
.tntndred, and If a whole hundred stm re
mains, do some more dividing. Note that
I said solely” through stock speculation.
Men like John W. Gates—a typical Wall
Street millionaire of the. fiction writer’s
bran'd —had to be more than gamblers and
had to do more than buy and sell stocks
in ord'er to get where they did. Before
he blew Into Wall Street Gates had earned
the reputation of being the best salesman
In the United States. He knew how to
make nails and pull wire—the genuine
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 But his
famous offer to "bet you a million" was
remembered, while his real achievements
fn the field of industry were quickly for
gotten—if they were ever known—by the
public.
Not one "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 is 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,
front the presidency of the greatest Indus
trial organization in the world, the bll
llon-dollar Steel corporation. Since 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 those virtues, too,
on a scale the public can not imagine
• • •
On the other hand, there are a few
black sheep in the "Wall Street million
aire” fold. The most rapid-fire swearer
1 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 I-atln writers. But
that is their misfortune rather than their
.fault. Quite a tew 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. They ntay
know more about Reading than about
Rembrandts, but when they gel away
from the one they do often try to be
come acquainted with the other
• • •
Then there Is another and more numer
ous class of "Wall Street mllionalres.”
Men of the Morgan. Speyer, Seligman.
Kahn. Barton Hepburn. Levi I’. 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 lhe bad, the re
sulting composite "Wall Street million
aire" is not such a worthless, disreput
able. dishonest character as is too often
misrepresented.

COTTON BILLIES

Opens Lower on Disappointing
Cables—Heavy Buying Fol
lows Unfavorable Report,
NEVA’ YORK, June 7.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady today with first prices
- points higher to 2 points lower. Cables
w* re not quite up to expectations and
Southern weather was such that bull op
erators had great difficulty in sustaining
iho market. Shortly after the call the
prices were bid up about. 10 points.
Futures and spot were quiet in Liv
erpool.
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 leased on excessive rains in the
eastern belt. Those who bought early be
came sellers at above 11.50 for October.
I'he 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
lop 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, Juno 2 points higher,
and tho balance 1 to 2 points lower than
Thursday’s dosing 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 <»f 131,912 the year before.
Other kinds decreased this week 36,000,
against a decrease last year of 33.000 and
a decrease of 27,0500 the year before. The

HAYWARD 4 CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. June 7. -English con
sols show a further decline of 3-L6d.
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 afternoons 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 'l’he strength shown by
lhe 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.

Seems to be little cotton for sale. Look
for further short covering. Excessive I
rains in eastern belt causing the advance. ;
Anticipate a setback, so that it would
seem conservative to liquidate any long
cotton and buy on declines. We strongly
favor the 'bull side, and would rather
work on the long side until more is known

couraging.

NEW ORLEANS, June 7. —Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows fair in
south and central Texas, Arkansas, north
Louisiana; cloudy In north Texas, Okla
homa, the lower central states and At
lantfcs. Light rains in north Texas; mod
-1 erat#» rains in the central states except
heavy in the coast districts. General
heavy rains in the Atlantics. Indications
’ are for generally fair weather n the
belt, except possibly some showers in
northwest Texas and Florida.
San Antonio, Texas, wires: Recent
showery weather resulting in many re
-1 ports of the early appearance of Insects.
Numerous complaints of damage by
grasshoppers. 801 l worms also putting in
1 appearance. Mos-t 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
1 of the weevil appearance, as most cotton
is too small for their activity.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: While
some of the talent place the responsihil
-1 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 the 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 could 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
1 influence, others sold contracts, thereby
adding to the existing short interest,
which, at the beginning of May, was
1 large enough for all practical purposes.
The outstanding Inng hedges, against for
ward commitments, sold as far ahead as
: 1920, held old shorts in line. All
1 the short consoled himself with the hope
that the crop would improve rapidly
enough to bring a rescue, and satisfied
his friends and followers by exploiting
' the charge that New York bull manipu
lators were holding the market in the
hope of getting out without loss.

MIAN PACIFIC |
TAKES BIG SLUMP
Number of Other Issues Af
fected Adversely by Decline.
Stocks Heavy.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, June 7. —Canadian Pacific
scored the biggest movement at the open- |
ing of the stock market today, declining
2% to 264\. 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.
I'nion 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.
i’nited States Steel opened '4 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 itj London were firm.
The tone in the late forenoon was
steady and a number of important rail
roads and industrials made substantial
gains. Lehigh Valley and Canadian Pa
cific moved up more than a point each.
There was a shade of falling oft in
demand in the last hour and price move
ments in nearly all the important is
sues moved to lower levels. There was
some show of strength in the specialties.
Beet Sugar advanced to 74, a gain of
2 points for the day. Liggett & Myers'
Tobacco was also strong, making a fur
ther gain of 2 points and going to 204,
against 195 at the close of Thursday’s
business.
The market closed steady. Govern
ment bonds unchanged. Other bonds
steady.

Wheat—No. 2 red H3%@114%
Corn 76%@ 77
Oats 53%
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 % to %c better. Offerings in the pit
were small. Rains were reported in many
sections of Kansas and Nebraska.
Corn was up about %c on buying by
shorts, small offerings in the pit and the
excellent cash demand that has prevailed
for several days.
Oats were % to %c 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 1%@1%C 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 %@%c higher, more be
