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 Bui unless something i xtia r llnat lly dlraitroils overtaken the Uniled bl.it< a a petto., oi greater prosperity Ilian any ~<-t Known i l.ould l><- i tijoyeo for a yuui or ■two all e i tin opining of I'lj SMALL CHANGES IN COTTON PR!GE| 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.

AMERIGANCAN | STOIMEfI| Large Interests Accumulate This Issue, Causing Big 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.

There was a lack of specula tion in wheat, corn and oats, and those . wlm bought yesterday were inclined to do some selling this morning. The bulls in corn were disappointed at the ab sence of Trost The advices from Liver ; pool showed the wheat and corn markets nigher there because of smaller Argentine shipments and the fact that the wheat in France is of rather poor quality. Brovisions were higher with hogs. Wheat closet! % to %c lower and rest ing spots were around the bottom levels, with the exception of the December, which possessed some recuperative pow er. Shorts in that month were covering late »n the general belief that the big ; men of the trade have a line of that . month as well as a line of May. Corn closed with September %c better, December '„<■ lower, and May off about %C. This market was unsettled, as it is u weather affair at the moment and will continue such until the crop is out of the way of frost. flats showed considerable strength, es- “ I i cially in the sample crowd. where everything was well taken. The Sep tember future was up %c, December was %c lower, and May was a small fraction better. . I Provisions closed irregularly and high er.

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.” COTTON SEED OIL.
