FACT AND GOSSIP IN MONET MARTS Being an Explanation of Cer tain Ramblings in This Column. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK. Jul? 2. It behooves ’he strong to temper their strength with mercy Are the great powers of the world dealing considerately with China .-ft this delicate stage in the childhood of the Oriental republic? Are the international bankers who hold in the hollow of the.r hands the financial life of China acting with statesmanlike magnanimity? Or are they bent upon taking advantage of China's dire necessities? Relations between state departments and financiers have become so close -so Interwoven during the last three years that it Is often difficult to distinguish where diplomacy ends and banking opera tions begin. * t ••noliar diplomacy" has its uses. Rut it is so susceptible of abuse. It lends itself so readily to insinuations, it so easily arouses suspicions, that every step taken should be accompanied by the fullest pub licit?-. The day has passed, as some of the world's most eminent ambassadors have admitted, for throwing a veil of sec recy over negotiations in which the pub lic are as keen!.' interested as the gov ernments Are not the public, In the final analysis, the government In all democratic nations? The need for let ting, in the light upon negotiations which have a financial end is peculiarly urgent In these latter days, especially in the T’nited States, where there are constant Innuendoes that Washington Is too close to Wail Street. • • • The. American people have not been taken into-the confidence of the home bankers associated with the proposed $300,000,000 Chinese loan. Such informa tion as has been gleaned has come from Europe and from Cl Ina. the tenor of dis patches from the former being usually in contrast with the ones emanating from Pekin. If. therefore, the widespread feel ing that China has been harshly treated is not well founded, whom have the. bank ers to blame? High Finance must know that its every act, particularly in conjunc tion with the state department. Is eagerly scanned by that not inconsiderable section of the people which has an uneasy feel ing that dollars are apt to prove more powerful than diplomacy. Can High Fi- Real Estate For Sah.

Is this true? Or are the American. French. Ger man and British groups engaged in a ti tanic struggle to preserve China from the rapacity of Japan and Russia? If so. a ; frank statement covering (he facts would greatly strengthen the position of the 1 Open-Door group. The citizens of Amer ica are strongly in sympathy with the j newest recruit to the ever-increasing ar ray of republics. They have little pa - ! tience with the subtle scheming of Japan. I Hence, if the motives of our bankers are ' patriotic, if they are really insisting upon a fair deal for China, if they arc actuated ■ | more by a desire for tie welfare of the-i new republic than by a thirst for profits, i then let them come forward and make a clean breast of the facts * » * China should not be starved mtn selling! her birthright.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, July 2. Houston gets one new bale. Last year the first new bale made its appearance on June ■l, but other new bales did not appear until the beginning of July. Indications are for part cloudy over en tire belt. Continued warm. probably scattered showers; precipitation less ex tensive and ti’c tendency toward clearing weather in the Eastern states more pro nounced.' Liverpool came in 3 points lower than due. but futures recovered In the last hour, due to the firmness in Now York. Spots 3 points higher: sales 10,000 bales f>ur Liverpool correspondents write that, feeling is bullish on good trade and the fact that a large portion of the European stock is of undesirable quality. First trades here were al unchanged figures, but tlie market improved steadily on small inning, induced principally by the idea of 100 much rain in the Eastern states, anticipation of an unfavorable weekly weather report at It o'clock and scattered short covering proceeding to morrow's bureau. This will be issued to morrow at 11 o'clock' and will give acre age for this year and condition of the crop on June 25. The trade looks for a condition average around 82. ami a reduction in acreage of around 7 per cent.
