MT Ji GOSSIP IN MONEY IWS This Particular Letter Being a Discussion of the Value of Travel. « ————— By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, June 20.—1 t does us good to rub against our fellows. We are all apt to slide into a rut and stay there, harrowed in vision and fossilized in ideas. A wise man once said that the best rec reation was a change of work —meaning to turn temporarily from fine subject to another. He might have added that a change of scene, a change of surround ings and an exchange of views with other minds would form an excellent substitute. Nothing is more refreshing, more broad ening. more stimulating and more pro ductive of wisdom and toleration. It teaches us that our own little groove is not all-important; that other people have rows to hoe and problems to solve, and that what looms so tremendously large to us may not, after all, affect the fate of nations. ♦ • • This lesson has been taught me afresh by a week's tour in this country and Can ada, during which the thoughts and con cerns of many minds were imparted to me. We in New York fancy that we are overwhelmingly important. Some who breathe the stock exchange air imagine that the eyes of the whole country are daily and hourly glued to the tape'that curls from the floor of that institution. As two-point rise in Reading or a three point drop in Steel is weighted with tre mendous significance—whereas it may re flect only the fleeting whim of a ten thousand-share operator. • ‘ • * One thing I learned, not without some regret, is that Wall Street is grossly mis understood and unduly maligned. Its proper functions are not grasped, but its foolish cgpers are well known and ap parently interpreted as representing the real work of our great financial mart —by far the greatest mart on this side of the Atlantic. Stock exchange houses have been bewailing tbe absence of "public trading." May not this falling off in stock speculation prbve of far-reaching benefit to the nation? No man is so sore against Wall Street and all that the phrase implies as the unfortunate fellow who has been induced to speculate on margin and has lost every cent. He is an enemy of "finance” for life—even though tlie 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 or reason. Happily, the United States is today rearing more investors and fewer speculators. This is of incal culable 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 net bothering their heads over politics. This a is ngj. 'true. Within the last ten days I • bate 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 society did I find indifference to politics. True, some of those higher up—including < leorge M. Reynolds, president of Chi cago's largest national bank, and Sir Ed mund Walker, head of a Canadian bank having some 130 branches- -explained that ibe people were ready to go ahead irre spective of politics, yet on closer ques tioning they admitted that quite possibly prosperity would not develop a goodly pace until the political thunderstorms abated. I had been told so often by New York financiers that politics did not mat ter a button that I had almost come to believe it. Now I know from first-hand that the people do still pay attention to ~ political disturbances and restrain their ' energies until they can better diagnose the outlook. • • ♦ ’■* Farmers are losing heart over the treat ment they receive from those who buy certain of their products. The beef trust is, of course, sharply hated—one did not have to leave New York to find that nut But there are equally bitter complaints from up state over the way vegetables, fruits and other commodities are handled. That some sort of "ring" exists among commission houses is firmly believed. At tempts to find relief through changing consignees have not been efficacious. New York is urged to establish markets that will be markets. In one city I saw many housewives going home with bas kets full of fresh vegetables and fruits which had been bought off farmers' wagons. The townspeople have first choice, and the dealers are not allowed to buy a dollar's worth until all private demands have been satisfied. ♦ ♦ • Will it console New York any to learn > that in Canadian cities the outcry about the high cost of living is quite as loud Bit here? And to aggravate piatters there rents have been artificially inflated by an overdone boom in real estate -a boom that will burst before long with disas trous consequences. Gambling in real es tate in Canada is more flagrant than gambling in stocks in Wail Street. Os congestion it: Canada, of upstate ‘optimism on business prospects and other matters exercising attention elsewhere | more will be said later. 4 VICTIMS OF WAYCROSG CONFLAGRATION BURIED \\ a YCHOSS, GA., June 20. -The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth English, one of the three victims of the Tuesday night fire on Tebeau street, was conducted today at the First Methodist church by the pastor, | Rev.

Spikes has the gallantry of a jury which refused to consider her marital tangles to thank for a clear title to Crow-ell street property worth S7OO. The jury in Judge Ellis' court de cided that Mrs. Spikes was the rightful owner of tbe property in the face of the questions of title raised by J. D. Bradwell, administrator of the estate. Bradwel! charged in his original suit brought against F. M. Coker and B. M. Hubert, who as executors of Spikes' property had given the house to Mrs. Spikes, that the Spikes had never been legally married. Mrs. Spikes asserted in her answer that she had always though l , she was married to Spikes, but rested her claim to tlie property on the fact that she had paid for it with her own money. The jury upheld hes. and declared it had ignored the marital phase of the suit.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. NEWS AND GOSSIP ~ Os the Fleecy Staple NEW YORK. June 20.—Carpenter. Bag got & Co.: Liverpool more than met the decline of yesterday and the selling around the opening was rather general. Mitchell was one of the prominent sellers on the opening. The buying later by | Freeman and Parrott is thought to be for McFadden interests. The weather continues good and senti ment. bearish. Tne Journal of Commerce says: "Cot tor. sold has gone from weak interests into strong hands. This is the judgment of close observers. Dallas wires: "Texas, western portion, part cloudy; southern and southwestern generally cloudy, balance clear cool. Oklahoma generally clear and 'cool." Following are 11 a. m. bids: July, 11.15; October, 11.42; December, 11.54; January, 11.50. Schill was a good buyer on the open ing. McFadden is said to be buying some cotton through Pell. Sentiment bearish: the ring crowd was good sellers; the market looks lower. NEW ORLEANS, June 20.-—Hayward & Clark; Map shows splendid conditions; fair entire upper two-thirds of the belt; cloudy, cool in Atlantic districts; no rain in eastern half; some scattered light showers western half: indications are for generally fair in belt except possibly a few scattered showers in Atlantic coast; warmer in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Comparisons of mill takings in Friday’s visible supply will be very bullish as we compare with takings for tlie week last year of only 109,000. Weather news fa vorable; the dreaded wet spell in Atlan tlcs did not materialize; warmer weather coming on west just as needed. Estimated receipts Friday: 19)2. 1911. New Orleans 100 to 200 335 The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Everything seemed to favi'.r the bearish contention at the opening of yesterday's cotton market, and low priced sentiment gathered force with the progress of tlie early session. Before the opening the tal ent had an acreage decrease of only .54 of I per cent, promulgated by a leading statistical authority. Then came • word from a big operator, after a visit to Texas, he felt convinced fthat state would make 6.000,000 bales this year. At this stage of the proceedings somebody whis pered to the ring that the manifest bul letin board had the real dope about the transfer of tender cotton from Galveston to New Orleans and the desperate des monds started a procession thereto. The bulletin' showed that the Eciid had brought 254 bales, and the Elmonte 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 454 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 are being shipped to 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 1 CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, June 20. —The cotton mar ket on the opening showed a net loss from yesterday’s final of 5 to 11 points. Liverpool cables came anout 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 houses wtio usually represent the uptown crowd and the Bell interest. This buying caused prices to take a jump covering tbe entire decline made on the opening, with prices 5 to 14 points higher than the first quotations. At the close the market was steady with prices unchanged to 2 points under yesterday's final.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. June 20.—1 t was feared that the cool wave might bring extensive rains to the Atlantlcs, but de velopments overnight were most favora ble While there were further light show ers in 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 belt 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 11.63 for October. Pell & 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 large crop as this season, we are dealing with larger figures throughout. However, 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-sight for tlie week looks around 35,000, against 31.591 bales last year. RAAIGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES. 5 *■&. ► S’! 5 J’ o. 5 eras 2.

STOCKS HIGHER THAN IN WEEKS Railway and Copper Issues Show Greatest Activity in Liberal Trading. Sy CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, June SO.—A lethargic con dition settled over the stoca market at the opening, leaders waiting to see what the outcome of the Republican national convention in Chicago will be before un dertaking speculative transactions on any scale.

Interboro-Metropolitan was exceptionally strong The Wabash issues show’ed a steady tone. Reading opened % higher, reacted. The curb opened steady.

LOUIS CASH QUOTATIONS. Wheat- No. 2 red 107 0107% Corn 73%© 74 Oats 52%@ 53 CHICAGO, June 20.—Wheat was quiet and a shade lower soon after the opening on selling by longs and a lack of buying power. Northwestern receipts were smaller, while the Winnipeg run was larger. Liverpool was higher and shorts covering in the pit. Corn was a shade lower, with trading dull. There was a weaker feeling for oats on better crop conditions and somewhat heavier receipts than looked for. Hog products were iow-er, although hogs were a shade higher. After an early dip wheat ruled strong all day. There was no bullish news of importance, but short selling had evident ly been overdone. Corn was strong during the entire ses sion on good buying. Oats displayed little strength early, but firmed up later. Provisions were inactive and without feature. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Grain quotations: I’rev. Open. High. Low. Close. Close.
