NKW YORK, April 16.—The United States has the most efficient railway system of any country in the world, according to George Stuart Patti-- son, General Solicitor of the Penn* | sylvania Railroad Company. "It carries freight cheaper and pro vides a more satisfactory service :o the public than any country in th world,” he says. ”\\e do our work upon less capital. The railroad capitalization per mile of road of the principal nations of the world is as follows: United Kingdom (1911) $275,156 France (1910) 144.683 Prussia-Hesse (1910) 112,427 United States (1910) 62,657 "We do more work upon our capi tal.

Are you good friends with your work? • * * Since we spend most of our wak ing hours at our daily tasks, is it not very important that we should be happy in the doing of them? The man or woman who has no heart for his or her employment cannot real ize the full joy of living. • * « There is only one thintj worse than having disagreeable work, and that is having no work at all. The per son who has no work can have no recreation, no relaxation. The vil lage blacksmith is more to be en vied than the idler who may have’ millions. The squire who walked to get a stomach for his meat was less happy than the sturdy son of the soil who rejoined: “And I walk to get meat for my stomach.” * * * The man who brings a right atti tude to his job is rich all day long, for, as a sage remarked, "Money never made any man rich, but his mind.” Some people spend more energy in grumbling than in trying to get on.’ • * * • To be done well, a task must be done* with a will, with relish, with enthusiasm. The best workers are those whose hearts are in their work. Those who are wisely ambi tious seldom grumble. A motto which has been framed and hung on many walls reads: “All things come to those who hustle while they wait.” The malcontent usually waits without hustling. He wants the moon without having to soar to get it. He sits with folded hands instead of speeding forrh with busy feet and nimble fingers. * * * Contentment can be cultivated/ And it’s a plant worth cultivating. It can at least be said of Christian Science that it has turned many sour people sweet. The harder a man’s toil the greater his need for bringing cheerfulness to it—the merry heart goes all the day. * * * Employers will promote a cheerful worker sooner than a discontented one. The foreman who believes in his work, who takes pride in it, who goes at it wholeheartedly infuses something of his own spirit into those serving under him. Why should a servant who is constantly complaining, who is eternally railing against his boss, who finds his em ployment a bore, be placed in com mand of other servants? His ex ample would bring on a strike rather than promote success. * * # Of course, many jobs are near relatives of drudgery. It is hahd to sing at them. But, if nothing else can be reached, what’s the use of making the worst of it? Why not make the best of it? “What cannot br cured must be endured.” Most men toil and sl,ave not solely for their own sakes; they sow that others—wife, mother, family—may reap. When tackled in this spirit, when performed from unselfish mo tives, few tasks cannot be made at least tolerable. No man liveth to himself—unless he be a fool, for to try it invites inward failure even though it may bring outward “suc cess.” • • * Some of these platitudes are prompted by an incident that oc curred on the Brooklyn Bridge ele vated platform in the early hours of Saturday morning, when newspaper men were waiting for their trains On this platform is a veteran whose duty it is to hoist the proper signals, call out the destination of trains and answer the countless questions of passengers. Of late there has been a second man on the platform. He does not yet know what the public have a right to expect of him. On this particular morning he was guilty of such incivility that the veteran began to give him some homely sound advice. Instead of ac- ceptinq it in oood part, he replied jauntily that there were plenty of iobs in New York. • * • “Don’t throw away dirty water until you aet clean,” chided the vet eran. “There are ten thousand peo ple in New York this night looking for work—I see some of them hang- round a gate I pass every morning.” * * * The trouble with the uncivil plat form man, it struck me, was that he brought a wrong attitude, a wrong state of mind to his work. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company pays him to give its patrons civil answers, but apparently he felt too big for his job. And he sought to vent his spleen upon the company’s customers. Be a little more patient, a little more cheerful, my friend. You will get farther and the way will be all 1 the smoother for yourself and for others. Foreign Spinners Absorb Spot Houses’ Offerings—Close War, Somewhat Easier. NEW YORK. April 16. Liberal celling f May contracts was the feature of the otton market at the opening to-day. The first prices were l to 1 points low er. The brokers who sold May were j supposed to represent spot houses. New crops were sold on fine weather. After the call the hears were again aggressive. in addition to the liquidation of Max » few brokers inclined to soil inly, which was thought to be protit-taking. This encouraged scattered selling of re mote months and prices fell some 3 to 5 points from the opening range. Con tinued favorable weather conditions over the belt, also good river news, coupled with bearish sentiment, was appealing to the bears, Hut offerings were so read ily absorbed that offerings were abated to some extent and price movement dur ing the late forenoon was unchanged to a shade up from the initial level Weekly Interior movement: A sudden buying movement developed at noon, sending May and July to 11.88 and holding other positions relatively firm. The rally started on buying by Liverpool and some local operators bid ding aggressively for May under the market. The ring crown! seemed to have gone short and there was very little cot ton for sale. The advance was helped along by Lester, who purchased 10,000 bales of October and Wenman buying 5.000 bales of July. It is said that the English market is buying May here with the view of ab sorbing 30,000 to 50,000 bales of the lo cal st<*<-k, which is approximately 106,- " bales. How- m r. sentiment is in favor of the bears: also weather developments, and the average trader anticipated lower prices. Advices from the Western belt and Georgia are optimistic' In many sec tions cotton is up. Georgia reports about 40 to 50 per cent of the planting finished. Recent excessive rains are regarded as propitious to tiie plant. Heavy rains of this character furnish enough subsoil moisture for the plant without forcing tiie tap root to grow far Into the ground in case of a hot July or August. During the afternoon session tlie mar ket was steady with prices 3 to 7 points above the opening. Trading, however, was light. At the close the market was steady with prices showing irregularity, being 1 points higher to 5 points decline from the final quotations of Tuesday. ~ |_1913 Tj9t2.J_J_91 1. ...I 20.840! 12.0891 12,892 ... 30.421 37.644! 24.874 .. . 394.810 287.74 t 307,377 NKW YORK.

'Peace ii. the Balkans still seems far off. the latest news reporting relations between Bul garia and Servia much strained. Liverpool came in rather easier than expected, but spot sales are large. The feature of our opening was the pur chase of about 5.000 bales of May cred ited to the Liverpool house which bought most of the spots here yester day. This, of course, intimidated sell ers and the market was easily held. There is much uncertainty and confusion of views as to what will he the next move in the summer positions. New York says May will go to a larger discount under July, whereas the buying her? of May by Liverpool and news of a strong bull combination in Liver pool suggest bullish operations The spot market is dull to-day. The demand seems to depend altogether on the Liverpool house which bought yes terday and was a heavy buyer of May here this morning, others not seeming interested in spots. The contract mar ket is quiet, but very steady around 12.26 for July. Kellers are scarce, show ing that the weight of opinion is in fa vor of bullish moves.

"'File low on July was reached on Oc tober 10. when July sold at 10.66, be tween then anti December 16. during the most active period of the harvesting, .luly advanced about 230 points to 12.95. Since that time it has declined 121 points under the high of last December and 108 points over the low level of last October. "The pendulum in its swing lias grad ually narrowed to an average in differ ence of about a little more than 100 points, and all tilings considered and being some distant from that assurance of a big crop 1 beg to favor working to the long side, buying on all declines rather than selling."

Cone was a heavy seller of May. which was said to be for spot people. S dientz was buy ing May and selling July, outside of May the trading was light; weather and' river news favorable. Sentiment bearish and lower prices predicted. The Journal of Commerce says: "Many of the crop reports received were of a very cheerful tenor, speaking of good stands and a favorable outlook. Fertil izers are being used extensively; inten sive farming is, to all appearances, be coming more general, and with cotton on the eve of the planting season at 12%c a pound, very many people think it as certain as the law of cause and effect that a big acreage will be plant ed.

Nobody attempts to deny the obvious fact that clear, dry weather over most of the belt during some days past has promoted farm work, nor that the land is now in a good state of preparation. But low temperatures re tard germination, therefore farmers are delaying actual planting operations in some sections. For this reason the New Orleans talent seems to prefer straddle sales of the new crop and purchases of the old under the belief that prospective delay in the availability of new crop sup plies will boost the value of the rem nant of the crop. On the other hand, some interests in New York have been advising the sale of July and the pur chase of October, just why is not quite clear, since the difference between New York May and Liverpool May-June was as much as 136 points yesterday, and there is some reason to believe that Liv erpool merchants intend taking up cot ton on New York contracts next month.” ATLANTA MULE AND HORSE MARKET (Corrected by the National Stock Yarda Commission Company; C.

Thompson, Towle & Co.: The favora ble weather which is predicted to con tinue encouraged further short selling particularly in the old crop positions, and it seems quite possible that the old and new crop positions will come still closer together.

One of the bull houses said there seemed to be nothi, g but foreign strength and export business to turn the market in the face of the glowing crop reports and the export business is slow in developing It was the gossip of the trade in corn and oats yesterday that Patten had covered 500,000 bushels of corn and oats, aftd some placed the fig ures higher. The principal selling was v the Armour Interests. The latter has been heavily long of corn and oats and has been selling steadily for several days. Sales of 1.000.000 bushels of July corn in the Iasi half hour by Harris Winthrop was considered as long stuff and credited to the Armour Interests. Bulls figure that with navigation on the lakes to open either to-day or to morrow there will be a heavy reduction In stocks * Liverpool and Chicago Shorts Cover Big Lines—Offerings Were Liberal. ST. LOUIS CASH QUOTATIONS Wheat No. 2 red 10 7 @148 Corn No. 2 red 59 Oats—No. 2 red 35 CHICAGO, April 16. News from abroad on wheat this morning was the signal for general buying and early ad vances of %<• to %<•, but on the upturn there were free offerings and the mar ket failed tu stand up under them. The Continental demand for .ash wheat in all positions, and the buying of that country late yesterday as cabled by the European News Agency, were the prin cipal bull helps. Northwestern receipt?, while small, exceeded those of a year ago. Winnipeg receipts were larger than a year ago. Corn was better at the start, but it sold off to ruling rates of last night Liverpool reported the weakness there was based on the increased offerings by America and better weather for harvest ing in the Argentine Republic. Oats were a small fraction better. Hog products sympathized with the decline in the price of lings at the yards, as the demand in the pit was smaller than the offerings. The many misleading messages re ceived from Baltimore to-day as to the amount of export trade in wheal there caused the average speculator to load up with wheat early, and when it be came known that the messages were misleading and that the export business was confined to six boat loads- instead of 180 loads, as reported at the outset., many of the early buyers turned sellers. There were re-sales by exporters of 100.000 bushels and 80,000 bushels (two lots) which caused tDo mistake—if it was a mistake. There was another change in sentiment before the closing of the day’s session when shorts entered the market and absorbed the offerings in a hurry. Resting spots for wheat were % to %r higher and the market, was pretty well sustained up to the close. Cash sales of wheat at Chicago amounted to 52,000 bushels; corn 200,000 bushels, and oats 95,000 bushels. Europe a Big Fake, Says Rich American NEW YORK, April 16.—Here in a nutshell is the condensation of the views on Europe held by Frederick H. Miller, a wealthy manufacturer of Evanston, Ill., who arrived in port to-day on the liner Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosser "Europe in general is a grand bunk. Paris is nothing more than a side show; Venice is a place where the sanitary board should get to work at once; London is the most dismal place in the world and Monte Carlo is a gambling den that ought to be raided. "I wouldn’t go back to Europe if they gave me a free ticket. "Why, I saw women wearing clothes in Paris that were certainly the freakish products of disturbed minds. If a woman in Evanston wore sueh a thing she would be ridden on a Corn closed % to 'if i higher and oats were up % to %' n. Hog products were unsettled. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
