Jrade and Crops Good, Yet
There Is Some Complaint of
Poor Profit.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. Jul} 31 Conditions are
•ont radiator y.
Here we have the railroads rushing into
the market for thousands >f new cars
and hundreds nf engines, prices of steel
Roaring on urgent demands for prompt de
liveries. general trade <as measured by
bank clearings and railroad traffic) of
Urge volume, foreign commerce breaking
ill records, the grain prospects improving
Tally, an absence of excitement over poli
tics, a stock market that more than holds
ts own, and no present stringenc y in the i
Phoney market yet much dissatisfaction i
with conditions, much complaining of
r>oor profits and nf high costs ami constant
iemands that ‘something be done" are the
prefer of the day.
What is the matter ’
One economist will tel! you that the in
crease in the production of gold is at the
bottom of all our woes Another holds the
tru«* entirely responsible. "The tariff."
v third. The lack of foodstuffs, ow
ing Io tiie unpopularity of farming, is
blamed by a fourth. "The trade unions.
#idch 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 whollj responsible for
the present unsatisfactory state of affairs
Each Has a Bearing.
Now, the i>Jethora of gold, the growth
of trusts, yic tariff, the comparative
icareity of farm products, the shortsighted
policies of certain labor organizations, ex
iravagnce. inordinate pleasure-seeking
ind the other causes cited do, each and
very one. have some bearing upon the
irrsnt high cost of living ap.i Its off
iring. discontent.
Only a very young, an extremely foolish
r a superhuman!. wise person would un
ertake to propound sovereign and prac-
Ical—remedies for every ill the human
ace is heir to. Bin suggestions can he
nade on two or three points.
Seven Possible Remedies.
I 1. The tariff must be reduced really
reduced, not simply fooled with.
| 2. Industrial trusts must be brought tin
ker control -but not along the asinine
jllries prescribed bj the head of the Stan
ley investigating committee.
3. Farming should- and will be encour
aged by the establishment of "land
hanks." 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
pot 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 aproachcd their maxi
mum capacity.
7. Goldlessness, extravagance, pleasure
seeking, etc., are matters for the individ
ual to 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 la it necessarily wicked to do a
big business
Rule of thumb methods can ot be suc
cessfully aplied to ho extraordinarily
Complicated problems as those involved in
the modern machinery for ca.-ylng on
trade and industry on a national and in
ternational rule, Commonsense must l>e
exercised.
The abolition of great industrial organ
izations is not even desirable were it legis
latively possible, for in the herculean tight
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.

MEDICAL BOARD
BILL OP TD HOUSE
Senate Passes Measure, But
Bitter Fight Is Expected in
the Lower Branch.
Carrying the approval of Hip Georgia
Medical association and encountering but
little opposition in the upper house. Sen
ator Douglass* bill to establish a com
posite boa rd of rnedic.il examiners with
supervision over all forms or practice In
the state, was passed by the senate to
day.
The 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
j sioians in Georgia to hinder other forms
i of the practice.
Several Atlanta medical colleges will
tight the bill on lhe grounds that they
will be put out of business by its passage,
as the composite board provided In the
measure will have, complete supervision
oyer 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 appointor] b\ the governor.
Rive members of this board shall be reg
ular practitioners, two eclectic physicians
and on? a homeopathic physician. The
member.- shall hold office for four years.
Senator Beauchamp said that, the Dill
was modeled after a uniform medical ex
amination law now in force In 38 states
and bad been approved by the American
Medical association. ft 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 medicgl colleges
Pension Bill Passed.
With but two dissenting votes the Wil
liams pension, bill, which increases the
pension of Confederate veterans from S6O
io SIOO annually during the years 0f<914-
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 Ed ward-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 nt the next session of the
legislature
GOVERNOR PAID NO
HEED TO MESSAGES
ABOUT TIPPINS BILL
Although prohibitionists and anti
prohibitlonists flooded the executive of
fice with letters and telegrams white
Governor Brown was considering the
Tippins bill, not a single message reach
ed him before the bill was vetoed today, i
He purposely instructed his secretary |
to sidetrack all matter referring to the
bill until he had made his decision.
He .said today that he did rot ap
prove of the idea that was gaining
ground in Georgia that the government
of the state should be conducted bi’
petitions, mass meetings, 14pplau.se or
delegations waiting on stf.te house of
ficials. For this reason he consigned
nil messages to the pigeon hole while
he considered the bid. A petition or a
delegation, at the best, he asserted,
could represent but a small percentage
of the iteople.
NEGRO SHOOTS lEN
TIMES AT OFFICERS
BEFORE HE’S FELLED
Special Officer Charles Isom, of the
Western and Atlantic railroad, and City
Detectives Hamby und Coker had a
narrow escape front death yesterday

point blank at the officer. The de
tective returned the fire and the negro

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,

lower However, this option quickly
I gained this loss, advancing to 12.0 k.
After Mie 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 fiie rainfall being
reported ft r less than had been reported
by private sources. This renewed the ag
gressiveness of big professionals and spot
interests, wbp 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 from
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

ports the following on conditions of

Texas up to the average date of these'

I Texas was beginning to need rain, in
some localities badly. Shedding had
(started, but only slight damage had re-
I suited. Later advices report a continua-
I Lion of the drouth, but general conditions
are so good that weed may withstand it.
I Cotton is of average size and generally
; well fruited and strong. Fields are clean,
.cultivation is good and insects few. Very
I little is heard of the boll weevil; labor is
■ sufficient and the season is generally on 'i
I time. Picking will be general by August I
120. Local showers have benefited a few
sec tions. Nevertheless percentage condi- ■
tfon will be several points below last |
month, when it was 86.5, and 87.4 a year
ago at this time.
Oklahoma—Conditions are very spotted '
and cleterioration 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 in 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 wires: "Texas generally cloudy,
cooler: light rains Quanah. Temple.
Mexia, Cleburne; good rain In Austin and
Bremond Oklahoma, generally 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.

First new bale grown in Louisiana was

Expect more rain reports from Texas

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Bailey A- Montgomery: The market is
awaiting th? bureau report on Fr'day It
ts possible that nothing short of a very
decided loss in condition will lead to a
further material rise for the present.
Logan & Bryan: If today's rains prove
to be only local and deficient in charac
ter, and the disturbance passes, leaving
clear weather in its wake, buying would
be renewed and the market rally sharply.
Stemberger. Sinn & Co.: Should fur
ther rainfall occur, which would natural
ly be beneficial to cotton a further decline
in prices would seem In order.
Miller A Co We continue our advic<
to buy December cotton.
J. S Baehe & Co We advise the pur- .
chase of the distant positions only on
very sharp reactions.
Thompson, Towle & Co.: It is quite
I'ossible that :< strong rally will follow
today's decline

Important Railroad Issues Are
Steady With aGins—Cana
dian Pacific Up Over $4.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
; NEW YORK, July 31.—Influenced by
the showing made in the quarterly report
I by the United States Steel corporation the
stock market today opened fractionally
’higher, led by Steel common. Canadian
Pacific moved up 2 points reflecting the
strong statement of June earnings and
the report for the entire year.
Steel common opened at 70against
69% at yesterday’s close. Initial prices in
other prominent shares ranged from Vst®
% higher. After the first few minutes of
trading some issues showed further ad
vances, while others were slightly off from
the opening range. Steel common, Union
Pacific, Amalgamated Copper. Great
Northern preferred and a few others were
off from while small advances were
shown in Baltimore and Ohio. Northern
Pacific, Consolidated Gas and Rubber
common. American Tobacco rose 2 points
and Norfolk and Western %. Later Cana
dian Pacific reacted
American shares were firm in the Lon
don market. Steel issues were strong on
larger dealings as the result of the quar
terly report. Canadian Pacific was buoy
ant. The curb market opened steady.
In the late forenoon the tone was dull
and price movements were irregular. The
important railroad issues were steady
and slight gains were made in copper and
Steel common.
