16 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 FROM BID START 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.

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.

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.

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 cause of the light offerings than of any urgency in the demand. Oats were %@%c higher, with shorts good buyers. Hog products were fractionally lower all around. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. «*en. High. L«w. Cl**».
