FACT AND GOSSIP HOWS Trade and Crops Good, Yet There Is Some Complaint of Poor Profit. By B. C. FORBES. NEV SORK, July 31.—Conditions are contradictory. Here we have the railroads rushing into the market for thousands ->f new cars and hundreds of engines, prices of steel soaring on urgent demands for prompt de liveries. general trade (as measured by hank clearings and railroad traffic) (if large volume, foreign commerce breaking all records, the grain prospects improving daily, an absence of excitement over poli tics. a stock market that more than holds its own. and no present stringency in the money market—yet much dissatisfaction with conditions, much complaining of poor profits and of high costs and constant demands that ‘something be done” are the order of the day. What is the matter? One economist will tell you that the in crease in the production of gold is at the bottom of all our woes. Another holds the trusts entirely responsible. "The tariff" says a third. The lack of foodstuffs, ow ing to the unpopularity of farming, is blamed by a fourth. "The trade unions, which restrict output.” is the pet scape goat of a fifth, while political turmoil, the interstate commerce commission, national and individual extravagance, the mania for pleasures of the expensive sort. "Wall Street.” godlessness, all are trotted out as contributory to or wholly responsible for the present unsatisfactory state of affairs. Each Has a Bearing. Now, the plethora of gold, the growth of trusts, the tariff, the comparative scarcity of farm products, the shortsighted policies of certain labor organizations, ex travagnce. inordinate pleasure-seeking and the other causes # cited do. each and every one. have some bearing upon the current high cost of living and its off spring, discontent. Only a very young, an extremely foolish or a superhumanly wise person would un dertake to propound sovereign and prac tical-remedies for every ill the human race is heir to. But suggestions can be made on two or three points Seven Possible Remedies. 1. The tariff must be reduced really reduced, not simply fooled with. 2. Industrial trusts must be brought un der control- but not along the asinine lines prescribed by the head of the Stan ley investigating committee. 3. Farming should- -and will- be encour aged by the establishment of "land banks," which will extend credit facilities on equitable terms, while the inaugura tion of equitable express rates and an ef ficient parcels post will also help. 4. Labor unions should reconsider their rules governing the limitation of output, for a man ought to put into the world as much as he expects to get out of it. 5. The railroads should be given a square deal in the matter of freight rates, else grave troubles will break out by and by. 6. The increase in gold production can not be arbitrarily stopped, but the present signs are that there will be no abnormal expansion in the near future, the Trans vaal fields, the principal source of supply, having apparently aproached their maxi mum capacity. 7. Goldlessness, extravagance, pleasure seeking, etc., are matters for the indivld uabto remedy. That there is room for re form in these directions no one will deny. The Acme of Stupidity. The Stanley report's recommendations that control of more than 30 per cent of any industry be held illegal is the acme of stupidity. Truly our politicians are apt to be drowned when they venture upon the deep sea of economics. There is no inherent virtue in doing only a small business often it augurs lack of application, of Industry, of thrift, of foresight, of ability. Neither is it necessarily wicked to do a big business. Rule of thumb methods can ot be suc cessfully aplied to so extraordinarily complicated problems as those involved in the modern machinery for carrying on trade and industry on a national and in ternational scale. Commonsense must he exercised. The abolition of great industrial organ izations is not even desirable were it legis latively possible, for in the herculean fight for the world's markets the puny con cern can not stand up against the gigantic ones, which have been built up in Britain, in Germany and elsewhere. But industrial corporations can. should and will be controlled by the people, act ing through their government. The rail roads have been brought under effective regulation; let similar treatment be ex tended to industrial combinations. Wall Street Still Waiting. Wall Street is still waiting. We are still between seasons. Most financiers are on holiday. Wall Street Still Walting. Wall Street is still waiting. We are still between seasons. Most financiers are on holiday. Two of the most notable who have re turned to New York, J. I’. Morgan and James J. Hill, refuse to express an opin ion on the country’s prospects. Coaxed by a young reporter to grant him an in terview "because it might mean an in crease in salary for me." Mr. Morgan re plied that he would rather pay the differ ence than talk! Mr. Hill remarked that he had "quit guessing." Guessing is about all that can be in dulged in at this stage. The grain crops are progressing gratifying!)', a fact of tt>e first importance. Cotton, however, is suf fering from excessive heat in certain piv otal states, and quotations for the staple have been climbing to new high levels tor the year. Railroad receipts are at the maximum, but expenses are unhealtliil) heave, so that profits are not altogetnei satisfactory. Then the interstate com mission continues to order isolated reduc tions every week, and the demands of em ployees for higher wages have not jet been disposed of by the influential com mittee of arbitration. Political Declarations Awaited Speeches of acceptance will be early next month by presidential dates, and these are awaited with unu.-u< interest.

MEDICAL BOARD BILLUPTOHDUSE Senate Passes Measure, But Bitter Fight Is Expected in the Lower Branch. Carrying the approval of the Georgia Medical association and encountering but little opposition in the upper house. Sen ator Douglass’ bill to establish a com posite board of medical examiners with supervision over all forms of practice in the state, was passed by the senate to day. Ihe measure, it is understood, will be attacked vigorously in the house and the charge will be made that the bill is an attempt on the part of the regular phy sicians in Georgia to hinder other forms of the practice. Several Atlanta medical colleges will f 'ght the bill on the grounds that they u ill be put out of business by its passage, as the composite board provided in the measure will have complete supervision over medical schools. As explained by the doctors in the upper house, Senators Douglass and Beauchamp, both of whom supported the measure, It provides for a board of eight members to be appointed by the governor. Five members of this board shall be reg ular practitioners, two eclectic physicians and one a homeopathic physician. The members shall hold office for four years. Senator Beauchamp said that the bill was modeled after a uniform medical ex amination law now in force in 38 states and had been approved by the American Medical association. It provides for a rigid examination of applicants for a li cense to practice medicine, an annual in spection of all medical schools in the state and a set standard in Carnegie unite for medical colleges. Pension Bill Passed. With but two dissenting votes the Wil liams pension bill, which increases the pension of Confederate veterans from S6O to SIOO annually during the years of 1914- 1917, inclusive, was approved by the sen ate. The measure, according to figures given out by the pension commissioner, will increase the pension rolls by SBOO,OOO by 1917, raising the total annual appropria tion to $1,980,000. By the terms of the bill the pensions will be increased yearly at the rate of $lO beginning in 1914. The annual in crease for four years will be approxi mately $200,000. Georgia’s rolls include about 20,000 pen sioners. The Edward-King-Graham constitu tional amendment permitting the legisla ture to abolish the office of county treas urer by special act was passed by the senate. Success of the amendment in the house means that numerous county treasurers in the smaller counties will lose their jobs at the next session ot the legislature. GOVERNOR PAID NO HEED TO MESSAGES ABOUT TIPPINS BILL Although prohibitionists and anti prohibitionists flooded the executive of fice with letters and telegrams while Governor Brown was considering the Tippins bill, not a single message reach ed him before the bill was vetoed today. He purposely instructed his secretary to sidetrack all matter referring to the bill until lie had made his decision. He said today that he did not ap prove of the idea that was gaining I ground in Georgia that the government I of the state should be conducted by I petitions, mass meetings, applause or | delegations waiting on state house of- I ficials. For this reason lie consigned ; all messages to the pigeon hole while he considered the 1)111. A petition or a delegation, at the best, he asserted, could represent but a small percentage of the people. NEGRO SHOOTS TEN TIMES AT OFFICERS BEFORE HE’S FELLED Special Officer Charles Isom, of the Western and Atlantic railroad, and City Detectives Hamby and Coker had a narrow escape from death yesterday when they attempted to arrest Charlie C. Ilins, a negro, 25 years old, at 25 Da. vis street. When Detective Coker en tered the room the negro fired a pistol point blank at the officer. The de tective returned the fire and the negro went to his knees. When the latter came up he was holding the gun in both hands and pulling on a hard trig ger. Then he escaped by a back door. Detective Hamby had come to his partner's assistance in the meantime, and Special Officer Isom also joined in. After the negro had shot ten times at the officers and clubbed Isom with the butt of the empty gun. he was shot down. He was taken to the Grady hospital, where his condition is seri ous.

NEWGROPBUYINGi BOOSTSCOTTDN Large Spot Interests Are Heavy Purchasers of Fall Positions. Cables Firm. NEW YORK, July 31.—Weak Liverpool, cables caused the cotton market today to show irregularity, with first prices being 3 to 6 points higher to 1 to 17 points lower than the previous close. August showing the less strength being 17 points lower. However, this option quickly gained this loss, advancing to 12.58. After the call a heavy buying wave pre vailed upon the market on the bullish character of reports from Texas. The buying was chiefly attributed to brokers representing large spot interest. This buying caused an upward movement and prices were carried 2 to 10 points above the opening. . After this buying Was over there was a dullness until the government weather re port was posted, which showed 27 stations in Texas yesterday registering tempera tures of 100 to 111, and the rainfall being reported far less than had been reported i by private sources. This renewed the ag gressiveness of big professionals and spot interests, who traded heavily on near crop positions, chiefly of October and De cember, while the latter was carried to 13 cents, with very little for sale at that quotation. The entire list showed sub stantial gains ranging 13 to 16 points front the previous close. At the close the market was barely steady, with prices showing a net gain of 10 to 16 points above the final quota tions of Tuesday. Semi-weekly interior movement: | 1912. | 1911. I 1910.

HAYWARD & CLARK S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, July 31.—Liverpool shows a weak market with futures as much as 14 points lower; spot prices 11 lower: sales only 7,000 bales. Our Liver pool friends cable: "Market technically weak. Likely to decline materially on any favorable news. Think shorts mostly covered.” Weather developments over night were most favorable. There was a marked fall In temperatures over the northwestern quarter. The map shows only light scat tered showers so far in the western states, , but some good rains were reported pri vately. Some good showers fell in Ar kansas. Partly cloudy to fair weather pretailed in the eastern half of the belt with normal temperatures. Indications are for unsettled, showery weather gener ally over the belt, with better prospects for rains to become more general over Texas. Abbeville, La., advises the first new bale received there and shipped to J. M. Parker & Co., New Orleans. Schulenberg (central Texas) says: “Three new bales here today and look for rapid increase, as cotton is opening fast, averaging half bale to acre, some making over one bale. Messrs. Norden At- Co., New York, make tile condition 78.2, against 82.9 last month. Market opened a few points easier, hut met general buying on the unfavorable reports of The Journal of Commerce, the Norden condition figure, little rain shown by the map, and on anticipation of a low bureau figure on Friday. Many now look ing for a government condition average of 75 or lower. Detailed records show high average temperatures for Texas and Oklahoma. Some good rains in Arkansas; 50 per cent of the government stations reporting an average of one inch, but only one station in Oklahoma with .40 and four stations, in Texas with precipitation below .01 of ' an inch.

Shedding had started, but only slight damage had re sulted. Later advices report a continua tion of the drouth, but general conditions are so good that weed tnay withstand it. Cotton is of average size and generally well fruited and strong. Fields are clean, cultivation is good and insects few. Very little is heard of the boll weevil; labor is sufficient and the season is generally on time. Picking will be general by August 20. Local showers have benefited a few sections. Nevertheless percentage condi tion wll! be several points below last month, when it was 86.5, and 87.4 a vear ago at this time. Oklahoma—Conditions are very spotted and deterioration for the month has been rather severe. Lands are generally poor and lice and webworms have done con siderable injury. High temperatures and drouth are beginning to injure cotton and the need of rain Tn general. Though small, the plant generally is strong and fruiting well, and fields are clean. The season is about three weeks late. Missouri—Advices indicate that the crop is doing nicely. Dallas wtree: "Texas generally cloudy, cooler: light rains Quanah, Temple, Mexia, Cleburne; good rain in Austin and Bremond. Oklahoma, genferally part cloudy; good rains yesterday at Poteau, Eufala .” It looked as if the market would have a further setback this morning, but The Journal of Commerce in its report on the condition of Texas and Oklahoma placed these two states as very unfavorable Many believe that a further decline would offer good opportunity for purchases. Very good buying after call was done by some leading spot interest. Unless further good rains prevail over Texas to day, look for upward tendency.
