partly cloudy In central states with light
scattered showers; generally cloudy in
Alabama, Tennessee, Atlantlcs. with good

not even as low as on August 30 and 31
last year.
The government predicts warmer

A large spot house at Dallas, Texas,

Habcrshanj King says: "A striking il
lustration of how one week's develop

presented this week. The fact that the
threatened gulf storm has run its course,
though I am not yet in possession of the

has enabled me to record this threatened

they, with original conditions to follow,
recover the loss sustained for the past
ten days.
"The Atlantlcs with the exception of
several small areas producing a total of

FACT W GOSSIP
IN MDNEI MARTS
I
United States Is Now in First
Stage of Long Period of
Prosperity.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Well, the busi
ness boom is gathering full steam. Tight
money is acting as a brake in the security
market and the politicians are throwing
a few stones on the tracks, but the boom
premises to keep the rails and to go ahead
rapidly. The roll call of favorable fac
tors is indeed impressive. The optimists
can point out an almost endless array of
inspiring developments.
Crops, taken by and large, will ex
ceed any ever produced in one year in
any land on the face of the earth. The
government, always cautious in its esti
mates. reports that all the major harvests
either will reach new high records or
greatly exceed the average, while so
called minor crops, such as hay and oats,
are abundant. With the American farmer
leading the procession, prosperity ought
to be assured. .
Fortunately or unfortunately for Amer
ica, Europe will have to buy enormous
supplies of cereals from us, as the crops
abroad are disappointing. In England
they are about the worst in a generation,
while in one or two continental coun
tries, including Germany, the agricultural
outlook is also distressing. The prospec
tive demand from abroad can not but
stimulate prices here —a fact, however,
that is not wholly pleasing, inasmuch as
it will mean that home consumers, many
of whom are less well off than the farm
ers, will have to pay through the nose for
supplies.
Many Industries Expanding Rapidly.
The United States, however, will be
thus enabled to liquidate its indebtedness
to foreign bankers and, if need be, levy
upon European gold to assist in market
ing our bounteous crops.
Different industries are vieing with one
another in reporting progress and ex
pansion.
Never was the inquiry for iron and
steel so keen as it has been during re
cent months; copper production is eclips
ing all previous totals, yet consumption
is keeping pace with the increase in sup
ply; the current production of coal is
reaching amazing figures, but here also
the consumption is more than sufficient
td take care of every ton mined.
Buildings are being rushed up on all
sides, cotton and woolen mills are run
ning at maximum capacity permitted by
the available supply of labor, the multi
tude of industries material for
railroads are swamped with orders, as
the unprecedented volume of traffic can
not possibly be moved with reasonable
dispatch unless motive power, rolling
stock, etc., be greatly increased.
Public's Attitude Changing.
The leather trade reports activity,
wholesale buyers of lumber find that
prices are marked up between the send
ing and the receipt of orders, the auto
mobile industry continues to expand won
derfully, while general activity is re
flected by the increasing gross earnings
of our railroads, a notable rise in the
tide of bank clearings and a scarcity of
labor.
These concrete evidences of prosperity
could be amplified by many others not, in
a sense, less important. For one thing,
a distinct change is overtaking the pub
lic's attitude toward capital. The poli
ticians have pretty well reached the end
of their tether.
The people are no longer clamoring, for
example, for the punishment of the rail
roads, for they recognize that unless cur
great system of transportation receive a
fair deal investors will not supply the
money needed to provide facilities for
moving the merchandise necessary for the
sustenance of life. Rancor and bitterness
have given way to reason and temper
ance.
Business Again in the Saddle.
The signs are—although they may not
yet be visible to every eye—that busi
ness is to enter the saddle again, and
that strife-stirring, self-seeking, profes
sional politicians are to be unhorsed.
Moreover capitalists, as a rule, are
learning to act less high-handedly. Their
reformation, no doubt, has been acceler
ated by fear; yet, as President Frank A.
Vanderlip, head of the largest hank in
the United States, remarked to me the
other day, the change in attitude has been
in a largo measure due. to "a moral awak
ening—a quickening of conscience among
our men of affairs, particularly those of
the younger generation.' This is not flub
dub; it is the truth, although scoffers
may deny it and attribute every mani
festation of decency to- dread of prison
cells.
The American people, in short, are no
longer running amuck. They are striving
to see things in their proper perspective.
All Makes for Better Era.
They are not less determined than here
tofore to correct abuses, of which many
still exist. But in such matters as tar
iff revision, regulation of railroad rates
and treatment <sf industrial combinations
they are bent upon acting Calmly, judi
ciously and effectively, instead of hit
ting frantically at every form of capital
and everything connected therewith.
All this makes for a better era for the
United States. But —unhappily there
must be a "but”—eyes must not be shut
to one or two restraining Influences.
Why is Wall Street not swelling the
prosperity chorus? Why have not stocks
advanced during the last three months,
notwithstanding so many helpful happen
Ings? Why are banking institutions liq
uidating some of their best securities?
Why has the Bank of England stiffened
its charges for extending accommodation,
ami why does Berlin threaten to follow
suit?
Money Rates Crawl Upward.
The truth is that, thanks to our intol
erable currency system, money can not
be provided comfortably to finance bump
er harvests and booming business at the
I same time. Often attention has been
directed in these articles to the threat
i ened dearness of money this fall Already
I the money market Is having a chilling of
feet upon securities
Although the East is not yet shipping
funds to the West in earnest, interest
rates have already gone up qulti- sharply,
and everything suggests that still higher
terms will rule before the » ml of October
The effect of dear money, however, Is
llketv to be greater in Wall Street than
elsewhere
The presidential election is now only
seven weeks distant, and, although all the
candidates are expressing more or less re
gard for business, It Is scarcely to be
expe< led that our l|nal>clei s will become
ultra enl lpislastle at this juncture

Market Nervous and Erratic on
Rumors That King's Esti
mate Will Be 16,000.000.
NEW York, Sept. 19.-- A general buy
ing wave prevailed upon the cotton mar
ket at the opening. < a using prices to
] open 2 to 8 points above last night s close,
chiefly the result us better cables. The
weather conditions over the belt last
night were perfect. After the call the
market became unsettled on the govern
ment predicting warmer weather in the
northern belt and prices sagged a few |
points from the early range.
During the late forenoon trading there
became a general selling wave by com
mission houses and the ring crowd, led
by Schill, with no support, hammered it
down 15 points. This selling movement
was started on rumors that the estimate
of Habersham King would be 16,000.000
bales. This, however, has not been con
firmed and prices during the afternoon
session sagged about the low ebb of the
day. The selling continued general while
the buying was scattered and moderate
Spot demand reported good throughout
the South, and there is said to be some
good mill buying here.
At the close the 1 market was steady,
with prices showing a decline of 1 to 4 |
points from the previous close.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19.—Liverpool
continues firmer than expected, showing
increased spot sales. Total today 10,000
bales at 6 points higher quotations. Fu
tures were about 4 points better than due.
Bullish intentions and operations in New
• A’ork continue the controlling factor in
• our market. Anticipation of a bullish Oc
r tober bureau, crop deterioration during
the briqf hot spell and the possibility of
future storm or frost damage seem tjO
be the basis for the bulling.
A particular feature there is the widen
ing of December from Oatober. There Js
considerable straddle, interest here, bug
of October against short in Liverpool, and
as no profitable liquidation of these strad
dles has been possible so far, and as we
are getting close to October notice day,
October longs are liquidating or shifting
to longs in December, causing the
strength of the latter position.
The market worked up to 11.75 for De
cember and trading settled around 11.70
for that option.
Spot brokers say that spot people
bought some cotton yesterday against
the high futres, which they offered U»
Europe, but that very few of these of
fers were accepted.

Gain—Other Changes,
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Sept. 19.—Canadian Pa- i
cific was the exception to a strong open
ing of the stock market today, declin
ing from % to 1% on the first few trans
actions After a few minutes’ trading,
however, the demand ceased and prices
receded.
Among tlie initial gains were United |
States Steel common %. Amalgamated |
Copper %, American Smelting %. Erie
common %, Erie preferred %. Baltimore
and Ohio %, Reading %. Lehigh Valley %.
Union Pacific %. Southern Pacific % and
Soul hern Railway %.
Labor troubles in the copper field
around Bingham. Utah, caused some
weakness in that group. Utah, Copper de
clined %.
Westfnghi use was a strong specialty,
advancing %.
The curb market was steady.
Americans in London were slow on
professional trading.
Canadian Pacific in London was de
pressed by profit-taking
A steady tone prevailed in the late trad
ing, there being litle change in the lead- '
ing railroads and industrials. What price;
changes there were ranged upward.
The market closed firm. Qbvernments
unchanged; other bonds steady.

STIMULATING THE MARKET
CHICAGO, Sept. 19. —The Inter-Ocean
says: “Prices in wheat have been on
the upgrade for three days in the face
<if big receipts in the Northwest afld
bearish news from abroad. It has been
a case of one bear buying from another.
Those who have studied the market
closely say trade has been too bearish
and has discounted the depress
ing factors in th<* recent decline. The
corn trade is having its usual fr )St scare,
which comes around at the equinoctial
period, and while there may not be any
damage of consequence to the crop from
the low temperatures, the oversold con
dition. of the market, combined with the
assistance given by Patten and others on
th*- buying, is making it easy to advance
prices. on September con
tracts yesterday were 110,000 wheat and
40,000 oats.”
