Morgan Is Just as Quick With
Charity as With Business
Deals.
' By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, July 24. Passin~ a
home for veteran soldiers recalled to
my mind an incident which reveals .).
P. Morgan in a pleasing light, it hap
pened not long ago and has never be-
I fore been published. An old warrior,
Very niuh incapacitated, had been sav
ing his none too plentiful nickels to buy
a wheel chair. Whefl chairs cost quite
a few dollars, the saving process was
slow and the need was urgent, fur the
task of carrying the invalid into the
sushine fell upon comrades also the
worse for the world's wear and the en
emy's bullets.
The veteran decided to appeal to Mr.
; Morgan.
It Took Some Courage.
To write the great banker was an or
deal that called for more courage than
was needed to face the foe ha'if a cen-
< tury ago. But he felt he had a good
, ease. This is the substance of what be
• wrote:
Mr. J. P. Morgan.
Banker. New York.
( Dear Sir—l ask your pardon for
writing to you. hut I think you will
help me when I tell you what 1
sorely need.
I am an old soldier and can not
: - use my legs. I like to get Into the
I sunshine, but I can not move. 1
, have to ask comrades to carry me.
If I had a wheel chair, 1 would not
' need to bother them. It Is not an
, easy job carrying me.
; I have been saving every penny I
can to buy a wheel chair. But it
! seems so far away. 1 need about
more. Mr. Morgan, if you could
give me half of this, the chair
would seem so much nearer. I can
save the other $3.
I used to go to school at Hartford
and I often played with you when
you were a boy. So 1 hope you can
send me the $3.
Mr. Morgan did not turn over the let
ter to a corps of investigators for lei
surely inquiries. Apparently he re
called the name of his old playmate.
At all events, the $3 and more was
forthcoming by the very first mail. Mr.
Morgan sent him SSOO.
Donations ‘ On the Spot.’’
Os all America's princely givers, Mr.
Morgan, the most spontaneous, the
most humane, so to speak. Hnlike
others, he often makes handsome do
nations 'on the spot," without submit
ting the appeal to a cold-blooded army
of experts in charity. The sum total of
ais gifts, if disclosed, would cause peo
ple to gasp. It is true of him that he
does not let his left hand know what
his right hand does in the way of phi
lanthropy. Mr. Morgan’s benevolence
Is characterized by the same traits as
he displays in business. He makes up
itis mind in a flash and acts instanter
or, rather, turns the actual work over
to others. The number of begging let
ters addressed to him is enormous.
Most never reach his eye. It is said of
him that he is far more generous than
those who sift his mail!
Andrew Carnegie has scores of hum.
hie pensioners. But. canny Scot that
he is. ho investigates before he puts his
hand in his pocket. He has quite a few
"scouts who report to him deserving
cases, especially in his native town of
Dunfermline. I was told recently of
his hard struggle Io keep an old news
paper vendor on the straight path. The
millionaire promised him a sumptuous
pension on condition that he would
stay sober. The old chap repelled the
enemy heroically for a time. but. alas,
his thirst got the better of him and the
pension arrangement was upset. Mr.
Carnegie lias a wonderful memory for
the names and faces of his boyhood
friends, and many who have been felled
in the battle of life are being succored
by him- -I happen to know the facts.
Rockefeller Is Calculating.
• John I). Rockefeller is a cold, calcu
lating dispenser of alms. He brings to
his charities the same methods as he
applied to business. He is the antithe
sis of Mr. Morgan in dealing with in
dividual appeals. Not a cent is spent
until Mr. Rockefeller is satisfied that
the object is worthy He gives to
causes rather than to individuals. His
benevolence, no doubt, is very "scien
tific." but is not calculated to thrill the
heartstrings of the average mortal. It
lacks that magnanimity, that sponta
neity. that —well, gullibility, if you will
-which captivates those who know
monos suffering than of science.
It has been my fortune to learn
something of the unrecorded philan
thropies of n number of our richest citi
zens. Far more is done than the public
wots of. Indeed. 1 sometimes wonder
if the All-Wise Dispenser of things did
not, after all. know what He was doing
when He made these men stewards of
so much.

XI,W YORK, July 21. The cotton mar
ket opened steady toda\ in favor of firm
cables, with a net gain in prices of 2(&'6
points from the final of yesterday. After
the call trading became active with some
big professionals buying freely on contin
ued dry weather in Texas aQd unfavorable
reports from central and eastern belts.
The strong spot situation invited more
buying in the early trading, causing
a rallx of a few points over the first quo
tations.
The market during the afternoon ses
sion was under heavy buying pressure,
due to the lack of precipitation in the
West and reports on floor from Little Rock
and Memphis August, and Texas report
ing deterioration. This caused quite
bit of uneasiness among shorts, who
rushed to cover, buying every bale of cot
ton put on the market. However, very lit
tle cotton was for sale, and prices made
a further advance of 12 to 16 points better
than the opening.
At the close the market was firm, with
prices showing a net gain of 21 to 26
points over the final quotations of yes
terday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. July 24.- Bullish sen
timent and views now seem centered on
the western states and possible curtail
ment of yield by dry weather. The map
shows a partl.v cloudy to fair condition.
No rain except a few light showers over
the Tennessee mountains. Rain prospects
for the western states have diminished
for today, but pressure distribution over
the belt is such that a rapid change could
occur. Partly cloud} to fair weather is
indicated for today in some isolated dis
’riots in the north central and northwest
ern portion Temperatures are normal.
Liverpool advanced 4 points and quoted
spots 3 points higher. Anticipation of a
bullish bureau report, <if a bullish series
of reports this week, by The Journal of
Commerce, and buying on dry weather
in the western states, yvere the support
ing and stimulating features today. The
scarcity of sellers is again marked and
little buying advanced prices. Bullish
sentiment prevails and 13c prices seem
to be looked upon as a certainty for bu
reau day.
New S'ork reported McFadden interests
buying and there yvas a rumor that the
National Ginners made 4 points decline in
condition for the month. New York nows
again shows an altogether sudden change
to the hull side, saying that feeling is
again unanimous for a further advance
toward the date of bureau publication.

prospects in this state before. Army
worms appearing in different localities,
boll weevils are becoming numerous in

Clark: The weather indications are for

ers in Arkansas and Tennessee, but rain
prospects Western states diminished over
night.
New York reports McFadden good buy
er. Rumored national ginners will show
about 4 points decline in condition.
The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat sum
mar.x: The inspiration for the upward
movement of the market comes from the
fields. Reports of damage to the crops
in the central and eastern portions of the
belt are coming in by wire and mall. Re
cent continued rains have not only de
layed the cultivation of a plant already
bad. backward in its growth and develop
ment. but having produced conditions fa
vorable to the propagation of worms and
boll weevil. A fine stalk of cotton re
ceived in this market from Texas when
closely examined was found to contain
boll weevil, which has punctured every
young boll. Hot, dry weather in Texas,
should it recur shortly, might put a
quietus upon the activities of the boll
weevil, but would certainly cause anxiety
in the ranks of shorts, lest drouth talk
should he renewed. The weekly weather
report is authority for the statement that
rain is needed in many portions of Texas.
Unsettled weather was predicted yester
day for that state as well as for Arkan
sas and Louisiana, where dry, warm
weather is needed to put the cotton crop
in first-class condition. If the reports
received in Ihis market within the last
two days via New York are to be credited,
crop conditions in the eastern belt have
undergone a marked Improvement since
clearer weather has prevailed in that sec
tion.

'TRIBE IN STOCKS
AT I STANDSTILL
Dull and Irregular Session Is
Confined to Operations by
Professional Interests.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, July 24. Business at the
opening of the stock market today was
exceedingly quiet, and prices were a
shade lower than at yesterday's close
The leading rails yielded from ' s to
while a majority of the Industrials de
clined about The biggest drop in the
list was scored by National Biscuit, which
fell 6 points to 135.
Erie common, which has been a strong
feature In the recent trading, reflected
some liquidation in the early transactions,
receding to 35%. I'tab Copper on two
transactions fell 5 » to 61*4. Some of the
other price changes were: Steel common
up Vs, Amalgamated Copper off *i. Smelt
ing up Atchison up *,. Union Pacific
off Southern Pacific up
Part of the initial declines were later
recovered and at the end of the first
quarter of an hour of trading, the lead
ing stocks were being quoted at practi
cally the same prices at which they closed
yesterday.
American issues were quiet and firm In
the London market. The steel issues were
slightlv easier. The curb market opened
steady.
Price movements were irregular In the
late forenoon National Biscuit moved up
a point from the low mark established
in the early trading and a gain of 2
points was recorded in General Electric.
Texas company was weak, declining 2\.
The more important railroads and in
dustrials developed a firm tone, being
Influenced to a great extent by a drop
in wheat and corn.
Business was almost at a complete
standstill In the afternoon session. What
few price movements were noted were
extremely narrow with the changes about
evenly divided betwen trifling gains and
losss.
The market closed steady; governments
unchanged; other bonds steady.

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK. July 24 Carpenter, Bag
got A Co.: The cotton see/! oil market
was quiet an/l easy in absence of de
mand. The continued dullness in spot
demand appears to be the principal de
pressing feature, and while some ((itera
tors are predicting an active cash trade
later on, just now It is dull, and it Is
believed stocks of old crop oil are liberal.
