FACT ANO GOSSIP IN MONEY MARTS Some Facts About Canada That Disturb Popular Fiction. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, June 21. Canada struck tnc as a new and enlarged edition of Scotland. One of the first store signs ,T read in Toronto was: “Come awa’ in.” The first cabman I hailed had recently migrated from “Glesga.” which, being in terpreted, means Glasgow. The first bank president 1 spoke to told me he had brought over three hundred of Scottish youths within the lasi few years, as ho found they made excellent bank clerks. On all sides there wore shingles bearing unadulterated Scottish names. Then, when traveling through the agricultural regions. 1 was struck by the number of Scotchmen on the farms. The language of middle Canada has a distinctly Scot tish flavor, while farther west sturdy youths from “the land o’ cakes” are ar riving by thousands to till the* virgin soil. © s> Toronto, Montreal and Ottaw’a are cities • t banks and churches. In New York !• >st corners are disfigured by saloons: in the Canadian towns the banks occupy G* s« choice locations. Yet let me add tic saw more intoxicated men in Can m :• • no week than I had seen in New 1 ' ■ <otring u whole year. « « I We are constantly told in the United ' States that the Canadian railroads arc j models, that they give the country serv- ' ice unapproached here, and that they are the pride of the Dominion. It was. therefore, a shock to learn from the lips of shippers, especially in eastern Canada, that it is extremely difficult to get prompt delivery of goods. Roth the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk, it is com plained.* are short of equipment. Ener getic as the roads have been yes. they are by no means asleep they have nut grown quite as rapidly as the country's agricultural and industrial activities. Railroad congestion is likely to be rather sevcm across the border before 1912 ends The Canadian Pacific has just ordered 300 locomotives and 12.500 freight cars, at a total cost of almost $20,000,000. And $70,000,000 is to be spent in double-trark ing the road through the Rockies. The company should offer a premium f<»r ’• prompt delivery of the new equipment Every engine and every car is needed. The Grand Trunk, too. I understand, has far too few powerful engines. Canadian railroads are more self-con tained, so to speak, than American ones if one may allowed for convenience to use the word “American" as covering ■only the United Stales, a practice equiv alent to calling Great Britain “England." The Canadian roads, for example, run their own express companies and their own hotels at various centers, while the U. P. R. has an enormous fleet of steam ships a fleet not matched by any Ameri can railroad. All this is sometimes held up against the United States lines. But u y opinion is that our own railroad com •anies have bit off quite as much as the\ <an comfortably chew. Let the govern ment give us a comprehensive ’parcels post system, and. lot trie express compa nies be brought to their senses, and the people will have no occasion to clamor for railroad ownership of the express business. Nor is there urgent necessity lor the railroads going into hotel keeping on an elaborate scale. Inn keeping and transportation arc two distinct vocations. <-nd. save in exceptional cases, the Ameri can roads are wise to ‘leave the former alone shoemakers should stick to their lasts. The newest and finest accomplish ment in the way of railroad hotel build ing in Canada is the Chateau Laurier, a $2,000,000 edifice opened this month by the Grand Trunk at Ottawa. The establish ment is worthy of the Dominion capital. Manager Bergmann was able to show me a royal suite and a bridal suite as at tractive. if not so gorgeous, as anything in New York, while the cuisine and the service do not suffer by comparison with the best wc can offer. • ■ • .But are the Canadian roads well ad vised in erecting palaces as stations? <>f course, after inspecting our local Penn sylvania and New York Central stations, we can not with propriety throw stones at our Northern neighbors. Still, the Grand Trunk's new station at Ottawa did appear too expensive a structure even for the capital. To build a palace costing <1 believe) something like $1,000,000 for a town of 100.000 population is surely an investmen; of questionable wisdom. At • per cent the toll levied upon the people »s £60.000 per annum, or more than SI,OOO n ! week, ex lusive of the necessarily heavy upkeep charges. Naturally, the towns folk are proud of their new station ai.< are enthusiastic over the C P. R.’s plans for another sumptuous building for oindar purpose, hut when It was pointer nut that each ton of freight hauled h.P the yards would have to bear part of tie burden enthusiasm was slightly modified • • • Prosperity is beaming upon the Dornin ion at this moment The people thr:* an not understand why we have not a Is* been going ahead. My humble gucs.- hai Canada has shot her bolt lor ;i present, that her boom is nearing its ■filiation. that there will be a real csta-» ollapsc and that the Hood of new capita *rom Europe w ill be temporarily stopped rj/ Its snmtmhmhml tnhmhtmhtmhlhtli’l But all this ran only be a prelude to ;< rrsh movement forward.

New* Orleans 100 to 200 335 The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Everything seemed to favor the bearish contention at the opening of yesterdas 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. Then 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 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 starte<l a procession thereto. The bulletin showed that the Eclid had brought 254 bales, and the Elmonte 200 bales. Immediately wires sent out tip ping pff the country that plenty of ten tier rot ton would be available in New Or leans 'luring July. Subsequently, inves tigation revealed the fact that of the 454 bales brought by water from Galveston to New Orleans during the railroad He ap In the overflowed country. 198 balAs 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 sjx separate Southern mill points in Georgia.

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 <lue 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 who usually represent the uptown crowd and the Bell interest. This buying caused prices to take a jump covering the entire decline made on the opening, with prices 5 to 14 points higher than the quotations. At the close the market steady with prices unchanged to 2 points under yesterday’s final.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. June 20. Il was feared that the cool wave might bring extensive rains to the Atlantics, but de velopments overnight were most favora ble While there were further light show rrs 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 I market opened abnit 5 points lower, with | only small seUipg. 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 Ar Uo. w’ere reported strung buyers. Another supporting fac tor was rhe anti<d pat ion 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. I 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-sight for the week looks around 35.000. against 31,591 bales last i .ear, RANGE [N NEW ORLEANS FUTURM. « I u kS® ? i* c. ~ o a a 3 ££ 0| X % Ucc , 5J Ju‘ne“|77.“J7777L’777j7.T.'.7i2:07 iiaSOs Julv 12.04 12.10 12.02.12.07 12.07-08 12.09-10 Aug 11.80 1 1.81 11.80 11 81 11.81-83 11.83-84 sept ILB7-S8 11.71-73 i oct. 11.56:1 1.66,11.55 11.62 11.61-6.3,11.60-61 NOV 11.61-63 11.61-63 Dec. 1 1.59 11.70 11.58 11.64 11.62-64,11.63-64 lau '.1.66 '.'..71 11.62'11.71 11.69-70 11.68-70 Feb ' 11.71-73 11.71-73 Meli. 11,73 1 1.73:11.73 1 1.73 1 1.77-78 1 1.75-77 Closed steady.

A ietnargic con dition settled over the stock market’ at the opening, leaders waiting to sea what the outcome of the Republican national convention in Chicago will be before un dertaking speculative transactions on any scale. Irregularity marked the quiet trading which was carried on. I'nion Pa cific reacted % from the high price of 168%: L'nlted States Steel common, after touching Wednesday’s final, receded %. Northern Pacific, Great Northern Railroad and Brooklyn Rapid Transit lost fractions. Canadian Pacific was % off. while Lehigh Valley’s decline reached ’» Tn the late forenoon heavy selling, said to be Hie result of dissatisfaction with the developments at the Republican con vention. caused declines ranging from 1 to 2 points in many important'issues. The selling was heaviest in steel and Le high Valley, hut pressure was also ex erted-againsl Union Paciflc and the cop per stocks. I'.iterboro-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.
