TALK BRIGHTER
THAN BUSKS
Roseate Conversation About
Condition Is Quite Far
Fetched.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. June 13 Business Is not
so cheerful as the talk about it.
Half a score of America's railroad and
Industrial giants have brightened the
pages of the newspapers with roseate de
scriptions of current conditions, while no
colors bright enough to paint the future
can be found.
Much of this expressed optimism is
feigned The speakers have discussed
only the favorable features. They have
coolly glossed over the factors which
hold them in restraint. The true position
of the United States today lies between
the ultra optimism of some and the ex
treme pessimism of others who complain
that politics is sending the country to
the bow--wows.
The crops are doing moderately well
Railroad presidents who have looked over
the ground throughout the Northwest
brinr back encouraging tidings concern
ing agricultural conditions there, although
it is too early to form definite conclu
sions as to what the harvests actually
will bring. The government's report on
cotton, showing a condition of 7!' per cent,
is not inspiring, to say the least; in fact,
this foreshadows a much smaller crop
than had been anticipated, and has sent
quotations sharply upward.
The harvester trust has announced its
intention of producing an unprecedented
amount of farm implements for which
the management is confident of finding a
ready market. Much has been made ot
this in Wall Street, but. need it be point
ed out that the action Is based upon ex
pectations rather than upon actualities?
Not Like the Vagrant's “Whisky.
The avidity with which favorable symp
toms are seized and magnified at this
time is suggestive of the story told of
the vagrant who entered a saloon and
ordered a glass of whisky, tendering ten
coppers in payment. The bartender
served dregs The customer lauded the
stuff to the skies and ordered another,
paying this time with two nickels. Again
he was served with the worst stuff in the
place. He repeated his praise and or
dered another, at the same time laying
down a dime
The performance was repeated, and
when finally a dollar bill was tendered a
really good glass of whisky was supplied.
This time the customer had not a word
♦o say in approval of the drink. He
started to walk out. Surprised, the bar
tender asked:
“Didn't you like that brand? Wasn't
M good stuff?"
“Yes.'' replied the nomad, “that whisky
speaks for itself it needs no boosting. "
Conditions in the United States seem
to call for a lot of boosting.
Metal Industries Booming.
Meicantile advices from the. West do
not «eem to justify the exuberance now
so generally expressed. <>n the other
hand, no one can deny that, the iron and
Steel industry Is working feverishly to
cope with the "spate" of orders that are
pouring in Then copper metal is enjoy
ing a phenomenal rise, "rhe price is
creeping toward eighteen c'ents a pound,
although from one or two inside quarters
come hints that the situation does not
warrant any such movement. Wall
Street, however. Is quite willing to ac
cept. without scrutiny, the gifts the gods
send.
As for our foreign trade, it is booming
as never before at least when measured
by dollars, although it is well to remem
ber that high prices have a good deal to
do with raising the record of values
Turning to financial matters, the most
discouraging feature is the lack of de
mand for investments The plain truth
is that bonds are hard to sell even when
attractive yields are offered. In not a
few instances when, very high rales are
held out investors simply sell their old
holdings and reinvest In new Issues. The
very extensive disbursements in dividends
and interest at the end of the half year
should, however, bring some new busi
ness.
Berlin Faces Money Squeeze.
Abroad, apprehension is felt concern
ing Germany. That country has bor
rowed very heavily and placed the funds
in industry and other enterprises from
which they can not readily be withdrawn.
A squeeze is threatened in Berlin before
the June-July settlements are effected.
New York and Chicago have transmitted
considerable sums, while Paris has also
come to Berlin's assistance, yet even so
discount, rates there are uncomfortably
high tn France and In England money
is fairly plentiful, hut the applications
for new capital are so heavy that the as
similation can scarcely keep pace.
American securities are injured abroad
by the political storm here America has
become so accustomed to political wrang
ling that, it now takes the Taft-Roosevelt
fighting as a matter of course, but Euro
peans stand aghast, at the spectacle. Our
financiers are doing their best to min
imize political turmoil. Indeed, Influential
stock market operators seek to convince
the public that no matter what happens
at Chicago and Baltimore the effect can
only be helpful—another instance of
boosting.
On the New York stock exchange no
genuine weakness has appeared. Fluc
tuations have been irregular, hut ad
vances have outnumbered declines. The
Moore-Reid faction still leads. This lead
ership is not of the most commanding ot
inspiring kind. It has not succeeded In
drawing the general public Into the mar
ket in any considerable number. The
strongest hanking interests are doing lit
tle pending political and agricultural de
velopments. •
HIGH COST OF LIVING
PRECIPITATES STRIKE
ON STATE RAILROAD
AUGUSTA. GA.. June 13. —Following
a refusal of their demands for addi
tional pay. the car repairers of the
Georgia railroad are going on a strike.
Twenty-one of them are already out
and it is said that the remaining 33 will
go out on Saturday unless their de
mands are granted The car repairers
allege that the price of the necessities
of life has gone up in recent years and
the road has failed to raise their sala
ries proportionate to the Increased cost
of living The Georgia road officials
w ill make no statement.
The road has recently increased ths
pay of its machinists from *3.00 to *4

DRUG MEN FIGHT
NEAR-BEER BILL
Declare Alcohol Clause of Tip
pins Measure Means Ruin to
Trade in Georgia.
Unless amended to meet the require
ments of the drug trade of the state,
the famous Tippins MH. the first bill on
the house calendar for consideration by
the Georgia legislature at its foi'thcom.
ing summer session, will be bitterly
fought by the druggists.
The Tippins bill is primarily aimed
at the near-beer dealers and manufac
turers of Georgia. Under its provisions
no beer or liquid compound manufac
tured for sale as an “imitation” beer
could be sold in any event, .and no
compound whatsoever containing more
than one per cent of alcohol could be
marketed, either in wholesale or retail
quantities.
The passage of this bill, with the
governor's signature attached, inevita
bly would close every near-beer bar in
Georgia. It would also absolutely stop
the manufacture of beer or any imita
tion thereof.
Druggists Ready For Fight.
The druggists of the state d" not op
pose those things so strenuously as
they do oppose the provision of the Tip
pins bill which prohibits the sale of
any liquid compound containing more
than one per cent of alcohol. The
druggists of Georgia appointed a com
mittee to confer with a legislative com
mittee looking to the amending of the
Tippins hill in such wise as to remove
that objectionable feature, but the com
mittee from the druggists claim that
the hill was not so amended, as the-leg
islatlve committee said it should be,
hence the druggists will fight it, as it
stands;
Druggists returning from the annual
meeting of the Georgia Pharmaceutical
association, now in session in Savan
nah, say that the Tippins bill has been
a topic of continued discussion during
the progress of the Convention. The?-
say that the druggists will oppose it
virtually to a man, in its present form.
The druggists claim that the Tippins
hill would drive the sale of drugs abso
lutely from the state, if enacted in its
present, form. They point out. for in
stance. that paregoric, one of the com
monest articles of sale in drug stores,
would be'barred from the market under
the operation of this bill, because it
contains necessarily a high percentage
of alcohol. They cite scores of other
drugs that would be eliminated from
the trade by the Tippins hill.
Early Vote on Bill Expected.
The Tippins bill will come up for ac
tion early in the summer session of the
legislature. It has been read in the
house twice, and can hardly bo kept
from a vote long. After it passes the
house, if it does pass, and it generally
is predicted that it. will, it must go to
the senate. If the seriate passes it.
there still is the chance that the gov
ernor will veto it—that, in all like'i
■ hood, will depend upon the shape in
which it gets to the governor.
Already there is talk of amending it,
before it leaves the house. An amend
ment providing for the abolition of
"locker clubs" is being talked of; an
other amendment to meet the objec
tions of the drug trade has its advo
cates; while still another amendment,
vague and Indefinite as yet, is being
thought out. whereby it may be re
ferred to the people for approval or re
jection. as the case may be, after it is
passed by the legislature.

relief from this situation can onl?’ come
from new cotton.
Our market opened at unchanged fig
