FACT AND GOSSIP
OF MONEY MARTS
I
, Capitalists Are More Willing to
Talk for Publication Now
adays Than Formerly.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, Aug. I.—Distance lends
enchantment, our financiers find. Meet
one of them in Wall Street and get his
views, and nine times in ten not a word
is said of these views in the paper next
morning. But let the same financier say
half as much to a newspaper correspond
ent in The Strand, or a Parisian boule
vard or Wilhelmstrasse and, presto! every
word becomes precious. Not only' is a
dime a word cheerfully paid in cable tolls
to present his opinions, but, to give the
interview due weight, the extra informa
tion may be thrown in that he was wear
ing a fine coat of tan, a check suit, a
queer hat, and smoking a long, black
cigar.
Catch a man abroad, you see, and he is
somebody. In the busy world of Wall
Street he is just one among manv.
« « •
These foreign interviews, as well as
those condescendingly given on return
ing. are often far more funny than in
tended. Apparently the longer a man has
had his finger off the financial pulse—the
farther he lias been away from the marts
of the world—the more valuable become
his views on current conditions. The
whole business Is a survival of ancient
times—ancient in the modern sense of
that word, for anything that is not brand
new is ancient in these hurry-scurry, off
with-the-old-love-on-with-the-new days.
Once upon a time it was a feat, some
thing worth talking about, to cross the
ocean and peregrinate round Europe.
Therefore the home-comer was something
of a hero or heroine, entitled to break
into print with sentiments and impres
sions and experiences. But to cross the
Atlantic today Is as common as eating
breakfast. It does not stamp one as a
superior being. Nor is the knowledge
gained 999 times in 1,000 worth publish
ing.
• • •
1 once made the suggestion that, to
save everybody time and trouble, the in
terviewers of returning tourists should
draw up a series of "interviews," one to
suit each taste, and that the home-comer
simply be asked to select A, B, C. D, E or
F, whichever best suited his mood.
» * »
“A," for example, could be of the
"I-was-over-for-pleasure-but- everybody -
was - enthusiastic-over-American-securi
ties” order. "B" could take a different
tone —"Europeans are uneasy over our
political wrangling, and unless agitation
against capital ceases we can not hope to
induce foreigners to invest in our securi
ties. “C,” perhaps, could be prepared for
the distinguished visitor who looks upon
our skyscrapers for the first time. It
would start off, of course, with: “What
do you think of America?” "Great! Your
skyscrapers are wonderful —perfectly
amazing. Nothing like them anywhere
else.” "And what do you think of Ameri -
can women?” “Well”—the visitor hasn’t
yet landed—"l haven’t seen as much of
them as I hope to. but those I have met
are perfectly charming.” And so on.
• • •
Locality has a marked effect on loquac
ity. Have you ever noticed that?
• • •
J. P. Morgan will never say one word
to a newspaper when in New York, yet
when he was at the far end of the earth,
several months ago, he sent a special
cablegram to The New York American.
Occasionally, too. he is quoted as having
made statements to foreign correspond
ents. Jacob H. Schiff is quite talkative
when he goes a few thousand miles from
Broadway. I asked him for a statement
on a certain subject once and he gave
me his customary explanation that he
had a hard-and-fast rule not to be quoted
while at home. Lo! a few days later an
interview appeared on the same subject
in a New York newspaper with the state
ment that It was taken from a European
journal. I asked Mr. Schiff how he came
to break his rule. "Oh!" he exclaimed,
"1 gave that interview in New York, it is
true, but it w r as for a foreign paper."
» * •
James J. Hill seldom talks in St. Paul,
where he lives, hut he Invariably says
something worth while when he comes to
New York. He can coin more meaty and
catchy phrases than any other living
American. His “cost of high living” is a
classic.
* ♦ *
Capitalists are more willing to talk
for publication nowadays than they used
to be. Harriman set an eminent exam
ple—after John D. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie had blazoned the way. A
New York American representative once
asked Harriman a question—back in the
days of silence. Mr. Harriman was not
disposed to reply, and said so. "You are
not refusing to speak to me." rejoined
tiie expert newspaper man. "but to two
or three million people.” The little wiz
ard looked up suddenly as if shot by a
new thought. "That’s so," be comment
ed. "Well, I’ll tell you—,” and an inter
view for publication followed.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. AUGUST 1. 1912.
(COTTON BREAKS
ON TEXAS RAINS
Bulls Step Aside to Await the
Bureau Report—Commission
Howses Heavy Sellers.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1. —Good weather
over the entire belt and weak call caused
a selling movement in cotton at the open
ing here today and prices were from 16
to 22 points lower than the previous close.
After the start the market became very
unsettled on indications for further rains
in Texas and showery weather over the
belt. Big interests were ranged on both
sides of the market. After fifteen minutes
of trading prices had broken from 25 to 26
points below yesterday's close and offer
ings were heavy. Afterward the market
rallied somewhat.
Futures were steady in Liverpool. Mod
erate business was done there in spots
with prices steady.
During the afternoon trading the ring
and commission houses continued to sell,
with very little support shown to the
market, and prices showed a further de
cline of 11 to 14 points from the- early
range. The bull element seems to be
standing aside awaiting the bureau re
port. The free liquidation and short
ring crowd selling that is going on may
push prices some lower, proving conclu
sively that this is strictly a weather
market. Many anticipate that the bureau
report will be of a bullish character. If
these anticipations are realized, a rally
in prices is sure to follow its publica
tion.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 1. —Our weather
predictions yesterday materialized in
every respect. Showers were general east
of Texas and will undoubtedly prove very
beneficial. The hot spell in the west is
broken.
Liverpool was poor and lost' 7 points,
probably on favorable weather and con
dition report of The Journal of Com
merce and Miss Giles being better than
expected. Spots 2 points higher. Sales
7,000 bales.
The Journal of Commerce makes the
condition 77.5, against 81.3 last month:
Miss Giles makes it 79.9, against 81.9 last
month. The government will issue con
dition report tomorrow at 11 o’clock, our
time. The general expectation is 75 to
76. The effect of the report on the mar
ket is likely to be influenced by weather
conditions overnight in Texas, principally
if the rainfall should be widespread and
ample enough to remove all drouth Ideas.
Our market opened about 17 points
lower and was pretty well supported by
buying based on tomorrow’s bureau pub
lication. There was no bearish pressure
for the same reason. After the close of
Liverpool the market weakened further
on support becoming more hesitating, ow
ing to reports from the western states
of good rains.

showers east of Texas with some good
rains in Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and
Carolinas.
Map shows no rain in Texas, except in
extreme west, but many reports to hand
of raining now at several Texas points.
Indications for general rains in Texas,
cloudy, showery weather in all states.
Following from our traveling man from
Albany, Texas: "Marked deterioration
from high temperature past week. Plant
shedding badly over all of west Texas;
condition some sections nearly as bad as
1909. Plant throwing off all young forms
and bolls thi.s section. Hot winds blow
ing again today."
Following from a prominent spot man
at Fort Worth, Texas: "Just starting to
rain. Looks like good prospects for heavy
rain."-
Reliable party in Oklahoma reports
showers all over state; prospects for more
rain.
A prominent spot house wires us from
Fort Worth: "Raining hard now. Con
sider drouth broken In this immediate
section.”
Galveston. Texas, wires: "Elghty-nine
new bales received here today and more
in sight; good scattered rains in state
last few days, which may did not show.”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat’s
summary; With a bureau report im
pending and Texas crop still in need of
rain, the cotton market is naturally ner
vous. Apprehension that there might not
be rain in Texas for some days to come
lias been replaced by apprehension lest
there should be general rains there with
in the next 48 hours, unsettled weather
conditions having appeared in the west
ern half of the belt. Advices recently
received from Texas state that while
there is need of rain in most localities
no actual damage has yet been done, and
that the crop could do for two weeks
longer without moisture. On the recent
upward movement a good deal of the buy
ing was predicated on the belief that
Texas was in for a drouth that would
extend well Into August. Consequently,
those who bought on this theory are ap
prehensive lest rains should come to re
lieve the situation there before the Is
suance of the bureau report tomorrow.
The expectation of a bullish bureau has
been a sustaining Influence for some days
past, and an estimate by a prominent
New York firm forecasting an average
condition by the government as low as
73.7 has met with popular favor.

European Demand Causes Ad
vance —Market Shows In
creased Activity.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1. -The stock mar
ket opened with a show of animation to
day that was in marked contrast with
recent early movements, in the first ten
minutes of trading several fairly good
gains were scored and a generally better
feeling seemed to prevail.
Canadian Pacific, which was reported
6 points up in the London market, started
here with a gain of 3% points over yes
terday's close. Union Pacific gained 1
point. Northern Pacific. Reading. Lehigh
Valley, American Telephone and Tele
graph and Central Leather each scored
an advance of % points, while fractional
gains also were shown in Amalgamated
Copper, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Great
Northern preferred and several other is
sues. Steel common was up %.
Americans were strong in the London
market, where the sensational jump in
Canadian Pacific was the early feature.
The 6-polnt rise there was attributed to
the road's strong report of earnings for
the year. The curb mar<*kt opened
steady.
Strength was shown in nearly all the
active issues in the late forenoon and sub
stantial gains were recorded. Favorable
crop reports on European buying of other
securities were incentives for the upward
movement. Union Pacific was prominent,
moving'up a point, and fractional gains
were made in Steel comon. Southern Pa
cific and Reading.
