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. SPOT COTTON MARKET.

Hayward & Clark: Map shows cloudy entire belt, ex cept fair in Arkansas, Tennessee; general 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. f THE WEATHER’ CONDITION’S.

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.

Fair supply of cattle in yards this week, consisting mostly of medium grades. A few good Tennessee steers in fair flesh and good killers were the best of the week's offerings. Several loads of Tennessee cattle, mixed grades, mostly cows and heifers, were among the week's receipts. Some few se lected from these cars were considered good and brought the top price for the week. Grass cattle are coming more freely, but are not yet fat and are a slow sale. Prices in this class have ranged barely steady to a quarter lower than a week ago. As a whole, the market has suf fered a reduction of a few points. Tennessee lambs continue to come free ly; market about three-quarters lower on tops and about %c lower on t.iedium grades, while common stuff is hard to sell at the lowest quotations.
