SOMEONE IS SURE TO HAVE IT, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PROP- ER PARTY USE GEORGIAN WANT ! ADS FACT ANO GOSSIP OF MO NEY MARTS Crops. Not the Politicians, Will Have Last Word in Bring ing Prosperity. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, July 9.—Business and finance have moved smoothly into the second half of the year. No monetary troubles occurred at any financial centers. Extraordinary precautions were necessary in Germany, and though temporary ar rangements were made to meet the mid year demands, the’ underlying banking conditions there are not free from un pleasarft features. The conventions have spoken. And High Finance acts as if no nominations had been made. , Neither the Chicago nor the Baltimore doings, exciting though they were politically, caused even a rip ple financially. Woodrow Wilson is re garded by capital as somewhat radical, as a red-hot Progressive; yet capital has given up trying to force a reactionary upon the people. It is believed that Wil son will not fly off at tangents, as Bryan had a habit of doing; that he will com pete in a dignified manner for election, and that, if elected, he will not drag the high office in the mire or subject it to ridicule at home and abroad. Prosperity Depends on the Crops. Trade is of larger volume, and there are solid reasons for feeling hopeful concern ing the new half year’s results. Yet it might be well not to act too confidently on an assumption that a boom is in the making. Crops, not the politicians, will have the last word 'in bringing or repulsing pros perity. A splendid hay crop is being harvested —a fact of much greater moment than city farmers realize, for an abundance of grass and hay facilitates the rearing of a plentiful supply of cattle. The Beef Trust will not be able to lay the famine prices at the door of a dearth of pasture. The corn crop is still in the speculative, formative stage. All that can be said now is that nothing has thus far devel oped to create pessimism over the out look. The lateness of the season could easily be made up. Indeed, conditions to day are quite encouraging. •"The fall of 5c per bushel in the price of wheat is a significant incident. The American farmer, in short, prom ises to contribute generously to bringing about general trade activity. Scarcity of Low-Priced Labor. Scarcity of labor is already complained of. The supply is shortest where wages are lowest. A more effective effort than heretofore is being made to distribute im migrants throughout the country, and naturally Eastern industries, such as steel and textiles, suffer. If the shortage should lead to a mod erate increase in wages at the very bot tom of the scale, the final outcome will be beneficial rather than harmful to the general well-being. Investors are timid. The millionaire who buys in tens of thousands and the worker who buys in hundreds are alike acting cautiously. The widely advertised reinvestment of July dividend and inter est disbursements has not been exten sive. Many rich people are refraining from •jurehasing either stocks or long-term bonds. They prefer to buy short-date notes yielding high returns or lend their funds on ample stock exchange collat ■ral. Capital Is Still at Sea. Doubt, distrust, uncertainty, hesi tancy—call it what you will —Is in evi dence. Nor need an immediate trans formation be looked for. Capital is completely at sea concern ing political prospects. A three-cornered tight is something our financiers have not been accustomed to diagnosing, and they do not relish the uncertainty that lias been created. They assume a cheer ful mien, but they do not elect to run heavily into debt just yet—as they would were they sure that a period of expansion and of prosperity was at hand. The stock market contrives to make the best of things. Advances have pre dominated. Certain specialties have risen ■>ery sharply. Industrial shares have done better than railroad issues. I find that, with the exception of cer tain pet Issues, railroad stocks are not in favor In the highest circles. The rate situation is described as verging on the unbearable, while traffic congestion is more than a possibility. Cost of Living a Grave Problem. Said a man to me the other day: “My wife had to pay 80 cents for a good three pounds of meat to make a beefsteak pie, and no amount of arguing will convince her that things in this country are all right.” This home!}' incident is quoted because it typifies a very general sentiment. The high cost of living remains one of the most serious phases of the economic situ ation. Let the politicians lay stress upon their determination to' cut the tariff with a sharp knife. The cut should not be on ♦he surface this time. It should go deep. A low tariff will not cure all our ills, but It will help. And a suffering people will be grateful for even modest mercies.

July 9«-The cotton mar ket on the opening today displayed con siderable strength, showing tn the first figures quoted a net gain of 4 to 12 points over the previous close. The strong Liverpool cable gave some support to our market, which caused some of the steadiness. The big traders who were freely sellers yesterday were good buyers on the opening. However, very little cot ton was for sale. The leading factor for the return of bullish activity was wet weather in tlie eastern belt, and anticipation that the government weekly report on weather would be unfavorable, in the forenoon a heavy buying movement prevailed upon the market, with the spot interests the best buyers and the ring crowd' seemed to be short A wave of covering soon started, causing the advance. July and August crossing the 12c level, with other positions following the advance closely, setting new high levels for the year The strength of spots and rains in the eastern belt are said to be the basis for the buying. At the close the market was steady, showing a net gain of 7 to 1.1 points over the final quotations of Monday. Warehouse stocks In New York today 123.579, certificated 105.878.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. July 9. Map shows fair weather in Oklahoma. Texas and Arkansas. No rain except in Houston and Little Rock districts; cloudy in the eastern half of the belt. . General show ers, heavy in the New Orleans, Mont gomery and Atlantic districts. Indica tions are for fair and warmer weather in Western states. Partly cloudy with local showers In eastern half. The high Atlantic pressure which caused the rains is diminishing and prospects for clearing weather in a few days are better. Liverpool showed remarkable steadi ness today, following only in part yes terday’s decline in New York, and quoting spots only I point lower, with sales of 12,000 bales. Our market opened 8 to 10 points higher and buying was pretty general on rains in central and eastern states, more reports of boll weevil from Mississippi and anticipation of a bullish weekly weather report at 1.1 o’clock for all states except Texas and Oklahoma. New York, how ever. hesitated and this checked the ad vance here. Advices from leading North ern houses are mixed,, some being to the effect that the advance discounts main bullish influences and expectations, while others look for public buying to carry prices further. The weather is the deciding factor. A continuance of the rainy spell over the eastern half of the belt would undoubted ly further develop bullish sentiment, which so far has been created bv con tinued disappointment on the bear side Public buying, however,. was so per sistent that all professional resistance was overcome and October sold 12.43 bv 11 o’clock.

No rain except at Houston, Texas, and Uttle Rock. Cloudy in eastern half of belt; general showers heavy at Montgomery and Atlanta. New Orleans Times-Demoera t says: Profit-taking by longs ami probably some fresh short selling predicated on a more favorable weather forecast for (he week cost cotton contracts a few points on the day’s trailing, hut the price of the actual stuff continued to climb because spots are scarce and are in demand. There has been and Continues to bp too much rain over a yer\ large area of the belt east of the Mississippi river, consequently the belated plant is not making good head way. From Texas crop reports as a rule are favorable. The best evi<lence avail able seems to show that the 1912 acreage has been sharply reduced under the re vised acreage of 1911. Consequently the crop promise is hardly good enough to warrant arbitrary confidence in a yield sufficiently large to guarantee the mills against a shrinkage in reserves between September 1. 1912, and August 31. 1913. 'These reasons in addition to the neces sity that has driven New Orleans export ers to seek needed supplies at New York, and at other points outside the New Or leans territory explain the markets under lying strength, and sustain the courage of constitutional bulls in the face of yes terday’s reaction to 12.23 from 12.45 for < >ctober.
