Some Questions Aroused by
Consideration of China’s
Present Position.
By B C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. .June 29. Withir our
hour yesterday two Wall Street gentk
men carried tn me cornplaint* concerning
this column. Roth declared th<y spoke
for others .And both voiced the same
grievance Here Is the substance of It:
"You used to write finanHal comments
that Wall Street people read Now you
tell us little or nothing about the stock
market; what the big people think of it.
nr about the undercurrents in the money
market You write less about Wall
Street than about generalities And what
you do write is too elementarx for us
You have 'hanged verj much

fn the opening article of this series. |
1 pointed out that those who are whole I
need no physician. I indicated that there
wa? need for interesting the wider public
in financial and Industrial affairs, for
putting capital in a fair and square light,
vet a’ the same time not shrinking from
criticising anything that capitalists might
attempt or do against the general weal
To interest this larger audience the me
chanic, the miner, the carpenter, the
merchant, the factory worker, the clerk,
the farmer it is necessary to write that
which can be understood without tech
niral knowledge If in so doing offense
has been given certain Wall Street gen
tlemen whose souls are above the ordinary
affairs of life, and certain newspaper High
Brows. I am sorry, but I can not prom
Ise to mend my ways here and now
• • •
Are there not enough scribes daily
pouring out technical dissertations on
Wall Street movements? Are there not
plenty of columns devoted to explaining
every two-point fluctuation in the stock
market” Such •munisclence has been de
nied me How any human being can diag
nose In five minutes often without con
fruiting a soul, hut merely from staring
at the tape every little rise and every
little fall in the hundred or more issues
actively traded In on the stock ex
change passes my comprehension Nor
have I learned the secret of ascertaining
just what every big operator Is doing in
the market But apparently others have
learned all this—and more Then, again,
it is not easy for me to grasp the ne
cessity for dilating to the extent of a
third nf a column daily upon the frac
tional fluctuations in Steel common. That
task aJso is faithfully performed by others
who see in such movements an Importance
altogether beyond my vision.
• • •
Is It not more useful to write, in a fair
spirit, about Wall Street and matters af
fecting it than for Wall Street: The
later duty is very, very fully attended to
by a large host Surely one scribe may
be allowed to disquss "generalities” in
an "elementary" way without incurring
condemnation.
• • •
Happily for me. every one does not
share the view of these, my critics. Some
even in Wall Street realize that there is
a larger public whose good will Is worth
winnig by an impartial presentation of
financial and economic facts .in language
that Macaulay's school boy could under
stand. only yesterday au international
banker of the first caliber remarked that
the Hearst papers are doing invaluable
work in purveying unbiased financial and
business news and decent views. And
here is what the president of a large rail
road writes:
"I was extremely Interested In what you
said concerning the railroad situation As
I view the matter, you are doing a dis
tinct public good in your efforts to bring
the question fairly before the people for
their intelligent consideration. As you
have well said, the railroads either have
nr they have not been fairly treated. If
they have been treated fairly, then, of
course, we need have no concern, but if
such is not the case, it is and should be
the concern of every one interested in the
general good of the country. The rail
roads, and the people, too, are to be
congratulated because of the fair and in
telligent attitude of the Hearst papers
concerning this most Important question."
• • •
That is a capitalistic view. Here is an
extract from a long letter just received
from the head of a labor union in Florida
I have consistently refrained from pub
lishing any of the mans friendly com
munications and had no intention of
printing these, but by doing so the gen
tlemen who want nothing but stock mar
ket and other Wall Street moveemnts dis
owned may learn that there are other
subjects worth) of some slight considera
tion at the hands of u popular newspaper:
« • ■
"My approval of \ our velws and my ap
preciation are based exclusively upon the
fact that in cahing about for disinter

consquently the major portion of the conn

judicious person, frankly telling the truth,

general public, has been a long-felt want
to so man) that 1 feel as if speaking for
this large number when 1 tell you you
have hit upon the proper method of treat
ment in all your article- *
• • •
T hale to print that extract, and re
fuse to print more, yet tt proves that non
technical comments upon human affairs
bearing upon finance und business are not
scorned by every one \ Westerners
flrst remark to me was "I'm glad yon Ar

the defect of the past ten <lays of night
minimums bring too low', lias been entire
ly eliminated, government records now
show warm nights, temperatures around
70 throughout the belt. Only’ a few light
scattered showers occurred In the At
lant ics, while Alabama received some
needed rains. Indications are for part
cloudy to fair in the entire belt, possibly
some scattered showers, particularly In
the central and northwestern belt, clear
ing over Sunday In the Atlantics. Con
tinued warm in entire belt. The Journal
of Commerce gives a good account of
Oklahoma, saying there is great Improve
ment over a month ago.
Liverpool rame poor and disappointing
with near positions about six points
lower, and new crops 5 points lower than
due. Spots 2 points lower. First trades
here were at a decline of 3 to 4 points,
but as usual the resistance to decline in
New York soon rallied prices. Trader*

every body seems to depend.
