TALK BRIGHTER
TRAN BUSINESS
Roseate Conversation About
Condition Is Quite Far
Fetched.
By S. 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
thv> ground throughout the Northwest
bring 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 79 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 of
this in Wall Street, but. need it be point
ed out tha t 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
to 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.
Mercantile advices from the West do
not seem to justify the exuberance now
so generally expressed. On 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. The price is
creeping toward eighteen cents 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 rates 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. In France and in England fitoney
is fairly plentiful, but 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, but ad
vances have outnumbered declines. The
Moore-Reid faction still leads. This lead
ership is not of the most commanding or
inspiring kind. It has not. succeeded In
drawing the general public into the mar
ket in any considerable number. The
strongest banking 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 ear 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 ear 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
will make no statement.
The road has recently increased the
pay of its machinists from $3.50 to $4
per day.
DRUG MEN FIGHT
NEIR-DEERBILL
Declare Alcohol Clause of Tip
pins Measure Means Ruin to
Trade in Georgia.
Unless amended to meet the require
ments of the dfug trade of the state,
the famous Tippins bill, the first bill on
the house calendar for consideration by
the Georgia legislature at its forthcom
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 do not op
pose those things so strenuously as
they’ dp 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 bill in such wise as to remove
that objectionable feature, but the com
mittee from the druggists claim that
the bill was not so amended, as the leg
islative 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. They
say that the druggists will oppose it
virtually to a man, In its present form.
The druggists claim that the Tippins
bill would drive the sale of drugs abso
lutely from the state, if enacted tn 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 bill.
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 be 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 senate passes it,
there still is the chance that the gov
ernor will veto it—that, in all likeli
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.

21 bales on f. o. b. terms. There are only
32,195 bales In New Orleans warehouses,
as against 68,869 at this time last year,
but 14,231 bales are on shipboard, await
ing clearance, as contrasted with 8,442
last year. There is active demand for
actual cotton; anything of a desirable
character finds a ready sale.
It now appears fully probable that the
spot market, and the July delivery will
bold fairly close together, and that while
there will hardly be anything bordering
on a genuine squeeze In the mid-summer
month, shorts »ill not go scott free, as
there are some July longs who say they
will want bale for bale. At Liverpool
the penalties on low grade spots being
tendered on contracts are influencing the

HAYWARD & CLARK'S ,
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, June 13—The weath
er map shows further favorable .develop
ments overnight. Temperatures rose and
are now ■prmal over the entire belt.
Some rain in Oklahoma and lower central
belt. The Atlantics and Texas had fair
and warm weather. Indications are for
cloudy weather in northwestern quarter
and probably further showers there.
Some precipitation also in lower central
belt. Fair elsewhere, the most favorable,
development in prospect is that Arkansas
will get rain.
The weekly weather report last Tuesday
said that conditions in Louisiana were
unfavorable. Private reports are jus#
the reverse.
Liverpool shows further strength In the
spot division, quoting spots 6 points
higher, with sales Os 12,000 bales. Futures
ruled easier. There Is no scarcity of cot
ton as stocks everywhere abroad are a
great deal larger than in the past few
years, but arbitration and tender condi
tions have been made so much more se
vere that much of the pressure and ex
cess stock is eliminated.
This applies not only to the foreign
markets, but Io ours also. It is these
technical conditions which give advantage
to the bull interests and permit the con
trol bv them which is at present expe
rienced in all markets. It is thought that
relief from this situation can only come
from new cotton.
Our market opened at unchanged fig
ures and held steady in spite of rains in
Oklahoma and prospects for rain in Ar
kansas. Trading very narrow. Great
scarcity of sellers showing a perfect sub
mission to the control of the bull inter
ests The into-sight for the week looks
around 42,000, against 35,150 bales last
year. Comparisons of mill takings to
morrow are expected bullish, as we com
pare with takings for the same week last
year of only 168.000 bales. Government
detailed records show that nearly the en
tire state of Oklahoma had good rains.
Nine out of eleven government stations
in the, state show an average of .60. A
professional wire from New York says
there ate so many short contracts tied
up by the bull interests that only perfect
weather can prevent an advanc.
