FIGI MIO GOSSIP nm fills Particular Letter Being a Discussion of the Value of Travel. Ry B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, June 20. It does us good rub against our fellows. We are all fl P‘ to slide into a rut and stay there, narrowed in vision and fossilized in ideas. '' wise man once said that the best rec itation was a change of work—meaning ! ° turn temporarily from one subject to another. He might have added that a r i ange of scene, a change of surround ■ngs and an exchange of views with other minds would form an excellent substitute. x "thing is more refreshing, more broad ening. more stimulating and more pro ductive of wisdom and toleration. It 'eaches us that our own little groove is ■°t all important. that other people have rows to hoe and problems to solve, and ha. what looms so tremendously large to may not, after all. affect tlie fate of nations. • ♦ • 1 lesson has been taught me afresh j week tour in this country and Can- 3 - -.airing which the thoughts and con- • Q - oi mam minds were imparted to p ,n New York fancy that we are ' r 'ccin.ingly important.

"r.e thing I learned, nm without some is that Wall Street is.grossly mis understood and unduly maligned. Its proper functions are nol grasped, but its I'areinly interpreted as representing the ■'r-al work of our great financial mart by the greatest mart on this side of the Stock exchange houses have I'Coii bewailing the absence of “public Hading.' 1 Ma,, hot this falling off in 1 -P‘' uh; t j<>n prove of far-reaching hcneiit to the nation? No man is so sore against Wall Street and all that the Phrasr implies as the unfortunate fellow "ho has boon induced to speculate on ir-rgin and has lost every cent. He is an enemy of “finance" for life even though the fault was nine-tenths or whol ly his own. The man who merely invests in a legit imate stock or bond and earns a steady return on his money is not apt to rail against capital and capitalists without rhyme --r reason. Happily, the United Stairs is today rearing more investors and fewer speculators. This is of incal '•idable value alike from a financial, a political and an economic point of view. We have been told from influential sources of late that the people are not bothering their heads over politics. This is not true. Within the last ten days I have talked with perhaps two hundred people of all classes, from agricultural la borers. railroad porters and waiters to the heads of the principal railroads, banks and industrial enterprises in the United States and Canada. but in no stratum of • iri\ did I find indifference to politics.

New Orleans 1.00 to 300 335 The New Orleans r l’imes-IJemocrat says: Everything seemed to favor the bearish contention at the opening of yesterday's cotton market, and low priced sentiment gathered force with the progress of the early session. Before the opening the tal ent had an acreage decrease of only .54 of 1 per cent, promulgated by a leading statistical authority. Thpn came word from a big operator, after a visit to Texas, he felt convinced that state would make 6.000.000 bales this year. At this stage of the procee<lings somebody whis pered to the ring that the manifest bul letin hoard had the real dope about the transfer of tender cotton from Galveston to New Orleans and the desperate des monds started a procession thereto ’l’hc bulletin showed that the Eclid had brought 251 bales, and the El monte 200 bales. Immediately wires sent out tip ping off the country that plenty of ten der cotton would be available in New Or leans during July. Subsequently, inves tigation revealed the fact that of the 154 bales brought by water from Galveston to New Orleans during the railroad tie up in the overflowed country, 198 bales were consigned to a New Orleans export er. who is credited with holding long contracts in July. The remaining 258 bales arc being shipped 1o six separate Southern mill points in Georgia. South Carolina and North Carolina. 'This in formation checked the spread of bearish sentiment, or rather called a halt on the work, of the enthusiast. , THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. WASHINGTON. June 20.

NKW YORK, June 20.—The cotton mar ket on the opening showed a net loss from yesterday’s final of 5 to it points. Liverpool cables came about as expected, with a good business in spot cotton. The weather conditions reported splendid: cloudy to cool in the Atlantic districts, with the same scattered light showers In the western half. The early trading was moderate. The bear pressure on the opening was due to the favorable weather conditions over the belt. This caused the sharp decline shown on the opening. Shortly after the opening heavy buying began to set in by commission bouses who usually represent the uptown crowd and the Bell interest. This buying caused prices to iake a jump covering the entire decline made on the opening, with prices a to 14 points higher than the first quotations. Al the close the market was steady will, prices unchanged to 2 points under yesterday's final.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. June 20. -It was feared that tile cool wave’might bring extensive rains to the Atlantics. but de velopments overnight were most favora ble While there were further light show ers ip the western states, there was no rain at all in'the eastern half of the belt. Indications are for generally fair weather except possibly some precipitation along the Atlantic coast. It will get warmer over the western and north central belj as required, and weather prospects are ideal. < Liverpool, was decidedly easier. Our market opened about 5 points lower, with only small selling, as the opinion prevails that the strong long interest in New York is yet so large that the market must be supported. In fact, such defensive sup port appeared and caused a rally to 1.1.63 for October. F*ell & Co. were reported strong buyers. Another supporting fac tor was the anticipation of very bullish comparisons of mill takings in tomorrow's visible statement, as last year's takings this week were only 109,000 bales. With such a latge crop as this season, we are dealing with larger figures throughout. Howe'er, as all correspondence shows that mills have bought largely for re serve stocks, it is. therefore, quite prob able that final statistics this season will show the greatest difference between tak ings and actual consumption, more so than in any previous year. The into-sfgbt for die week looks around 35.000. against 31,591 bales last year. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES. i -1 l?

Canadian Pacific was % off. while Lehigh \ alley's decline reached ’4. In the late forenoon heavy selling, said to be the result of dissatisfaction with tlm levelopments at the Republican con vention. caused declines ranging from I to 2 points fn many important issues. The selling, was heaviest in steel and Le high Valley, but pressure was also ex erted against Union Pacific and the cop per stocks. Interboro-Metropolitan was exceptionally strong. The Wabash issues showed a steady tone. Reading opened ", higher, but reacted. The curb opened steady. A firm tone, prevailed in Americans and In Canadian Pacific In London on small transactions.
